Whether you have a business or a mission, being able to communicate with clarity and influence is key to your success.

Yet it’s one of the most common fears and most people do it badly.

The good news is that it’s a learnt skill.

There is a formula and a method that you can learn, starting with your target market and target audience.

The next 1-Day Speaking Fundamental Workshop is on Wednesday 3rd of June in Mornington.

The workshop is limited to 12 people and we’ve offered a 10% discount to PBN members.

Remember - You are only as effective as how well you can communicate!

Excellent presentation by Jim Stewart of StewArt Media Australia at our latest monthly PBN Networking Event. Held at the popular Jetty Road Brewery in Dromana on Wednesday 20 May.
We had a great turn out, always good to see some new faces!
Jim's presentation was very timely as AI is EVERYWHERE now, some of us, not me, are on top of it, to some degree but most are very curious how to make it work for them at some level in their business.
The presentation was emailed to everyone who attended along with the attendee list. Please let us know if you didn't receive it.

Great work continues with community support. PBN is proud to be sponsoring SPCS as one of our nominated charities this year.
Was a pleasure to have Kera Zaltsberg give an eye opening presentation at our Networking Luncheon last Wednesday.

What makes a community strong? Neighbours looking out for one another 💛

This huge donation of toiletries came from the neighbour of our President, Belinda - and honestly, it got us thinking about just how powerful community can be.

One neighbour decided to help, and now vulnerable people across the Southern Peninsula will have access to essential items many of us take for granted.

It made us wonder… what could happen if more neighbours came together like this?

Have you checked in on your neighbours lately?
Are they okay?
Are they quietly struggling with the rising cost of living, loneliness, housing stress, or putting food on the table?

Sometimes people don’t ask for help because they feel embarrassed, isolated, or scared. A simple conversation, a kind gesture, or a donation can remind someone they are not alone.

Could your street, workplace, school group, or neighbourhood collect toiletries, pantry items, blankets, or essentials for people doing it tough in our community?

Kindness starts close to home 🫶

Thank you to Belinda’s wonderful neighbour for this incredible act of generosity - these donations will make such a difference to the people we support every day.
