Brisbane Platinum Partners - Business Growth - Friday 2 October, 7am - Toowong. - Speaker Spotlight: Leading From the Heart

Brisbane Platinum Partners is pleased to welcome transformational coach, Nina Thallon, as our keynote speaker at this week’s event.

Nina works with leaders and business owners to move beyond reactive, pressure-driven decision-making and into what she calls heart-centred leadership - a way of leading that comes from clarity, presence and intuition.

In her presentation, Nina will explore why so much of modern leadership runs from the lower mind and what changes when leaders learn to align heart and mind instead. Attendees will come away with an understanding of how heart-centred leadership directly impacts decision quality, team culture and retention, and why more organisations are now investing in this work through corporate wellness programs.

Nina brings this philosophy to life through her own suite of transformational offerings, including immersive retreats, workshops, yoga and meditation classes and a 7-month heart-centred living course and is increasingly bringing this same work directly into workplaces through corporate wellness.

If you're wanting to gain more clarity, in both business and life, join us for for an inspirational morning with our BPP Team. Book online www.brisbaneplatinumpartners.com.au

Ever wondered why some printed marketing materials look polished and professional, while others just don’t hit the mark? It all starts with good design. No matter how much you invest in printing, a poorly prepared design can compromise the final result. From colour settings and image resolution to fonts, file formats and bleed, getting the details right before hitting ‘print’ can make all the difference.

At our upcoming Brisbane Platinum Partners Business Breakfast, Andrew Pearson of Appello Media will take us behind the scenes of print and design, sharing practical tips to help you create print-ready files and achieve professional results.

This dynamic hands-on session will focus on "Why Design Matters" and include:
✔️ Logo and file creation
✔️ CMYK vs RGB
✔️ Bleed and document setup
✔️ Fonts and image resolution
✔️ Aspect ratios and file formats

With more than 30 years’ experience across the printing industry, including corporate, franchise and print management, Andrew founded Appello Media in 2012 to deliver tailored print marketing solutions.

Come along and meet our experienced BPP referral team, and discover how good design can make a big difference to your printed marketing materials! Book online: 7am, Friday, 21 August, The Regatta, Toowong. www.brisbaneplatinumpartners.com.au
