Mayoral Notes

March 3, 2023 by Roxane Manley

International Women’s Day is on Tuesday, 7th March and I am looking forward to hosting an amazing celebration in conjunction with the NSW Government. 

Our guest this year has already caught the attention of so many, and I look forward to introducing Dr Neryl East to our town. 

Dr East is a professionally acclaimed public speaker, published author, has worked in the media in the past including as an announcer at the Sydney Olympics. She herself has thrived in a once male-dominated industry. She will share her learned wisdom with us on how to communicate effectively – not just at work but at home and in our personal lives. 

I encourage all our women to join with us on the luscious shores of Lake Forbes for an early morning session of yoga and meditation, followed by breakfast, music and Dr East’s address. 

We are making full use of Dr East’s specialised skills, and are excited to be able to offer our businesses the chance to share in Dr East’s knowledge and guidance at a free event at Club Forbes on 7th March. 

As Dr East points out, you can’t control your reputation by you are influencing it every moment. We want to help you learn the tools for reacting to negative comments online, to learn the keys to getting your message across in order to make your customers sit up and take notice – and take notice for the right reasons. Continue building your best business reputation. 

Make sure you book your spot for the IWD breakfast or the business event at 123tix.com.au 

Enjoy your week, and God bless.
