SHINE Business Women

An absolute ‘fan girl moment’ for me today, meeting the fabulous Kristina Karlsson at the Thriving Through Change event put on by Sunshine Coast Council. Not only do I have her podcast constantly on when walking or an office crammed with Dream Life ‘To Do’ pads, stationery, journals and books… Kristina was a real influence on me shortly after I founded SHINE Business Women as she is a true entrepreneur and has a great story that all people in business can learn from! What a great afternoon! 🌟

🌟 This lady was one in ten billion… a dynamic, driven, kind, passionate and caring business woman who gave her absolute all to family, her school (work), her community. There wasn’t a student, teacher or parent who didn’t love ‘Mrs Woods’. There wasn’t a person who crossed paths with Maria who didn’t adore her and want to encapsulate some of that sparkle and shine she always exuded, always with a beautiful smile on her face. She was also loved by our SHINE Business Women community, a fave at our conferences, always sharing and making people laugh and we were thrilled to share her story back in 2019… here’s the link below if you fancy a read!

Earth will be so much richer for having this star SHINE’ing down on us from heaven, but gosh you will be so so missed! Beautiful lady you will never be forgotten and we’ll always thank our lucky stars that we were fortunate enough to know you and experience your amazing warmth, generosity, passion, purpose and spirit🌟

Today, Spectacular Events Pty Ltd encompasses Spectacular Events, Spectacular World Travel, SunSHINE Boxes, SHINE Business Women & www.eventtravel.com.au

To celebrate our special birthday, we've recorded a SHINE'ing the Spotlight 'special event' podcast episode... to tell our story and share some insights, some of which you might know and some of which you won't.

It seems like everyone has hit the ground running in 2023, regardless of role or industry!

Attending a corporate event last night, the room was filled with passion and energy because the attendees were all focused on ‘option 2’ in this quote… when you love what you do, that’s powerful, uplifting and rewarding… where do you fit?
