We'll be heading to the beautiful Centennial Homestead in Sydney in a few weeks to bring the first International Women's Day event for The Hands Group to life. With some amazing and inspiring guests coming along to share their wisdom, this is one breakfast you might want to get the morning off and come along to. Jump online to grab your tickets, seats are limited.

There are so many events, roadshows, and conferences across all industries and the real estate industry is no different. Read how one man’s passion to give back to the industry opened up opportunities for those living without internet and computers. Steve Carroll

At the end of October we had the pleasure of working with Steve Carroll to run his first Digital Live event in Brisbane. This is the first of its kind being offered to the Real Estate Industry.
Not only does the program provide a solid 6 month focus on participants online presence, but the event raised over $11k to provide disadvantaged kids an opportunity to get access to internet and their own computer for homework through The Smith Family Tech Pack Program. Looking forward to 2018!

Heading back from Auckland this morning and I was having a chat with my driver about how great the cycling in Auckland is now with all of the new cycleways. You could experience the beautiful north and these wonderful cycling tracks by joining The Electrolux Ride to Provide New Zealand in May 2018. If you're based in Auckland or happen to be there next Friday 24th November, then come along to the breakfast and hear from Peter Baines and the crew from Bigfoot Adventures.

We're heading over to Auckland to exhibit at PAICE next week so if you're responsible for managing and booking off shore events and programs within your organisation, then we'd love to see you there. There's a chance to win a place on the 2018 Social Venture Program so if you are in the area make sure you pop by.

[Social Venture Program - 17th June to 23rd June]
We can't believe the year has rolled around again and we're launching the Social Venture Program for 2018.
Our 2017 participants described their experiences as...
... "A shared value experience, whereby an opportunity is provided to make a positive difference along with a group of others, and along the way you learn leadership skills and have an opportunity for reflection in all areas of your life."
"Inspiring. At times distressing to hear the stories behind the children and families but inspiring to see the difference that action taken now can have on generations to come. A privileged to meet people like Khru Prateep and humbling to learn of Peter's work and commitment."
"A personal development week away with an opportunity to give back to a community at the same time."
We would absolutely love to see you there. Spaces are limited to 20 to keep the experience intimate and meaningful. Head to www.socialventureprogram.com for more information and to register.

"I can't tell you enough how great the leadership seminar was today. I have been to plenty of these events over the years but hands down it was the best back to back line up I have seen for a very long time." Now that's feedback we love hearing from delegates at our events.
Future of Leadership roadshow continues and will be heading to Newcastle (13th Sept) and Melbourne (21st Sept) next. There are still some tickets available so if you want to walk away as inspired and motivated as this guy, then jump onto www.futureofleadership.com.au and grab tickets.
Before you do check out this 30 sec video that sums up the day beautifully.

There are 300 children across 7 projects in Thailand that are currently supported through the charity Hands Across the Water. You will know that this is a charity that is dear to my heart and I am super excited that, through some fabulous woman in my tribe, we will be taking Project Gen Z's amazing Dare to Dream program to the kids in Thailand in April 2018.
How would you like to spark young imaginations and dream inspiring possibilities? I invite you to join Rebecca Tapp from The Supernova Tribe and Liz Volpe from Project Gen Z next Monday night as we launch this fantastic program to support the next generation of young people in Thailand. Grab your tickets and let's work together to help young superstars like this achieve their dreams.

We're hiring! Our Event Manager has been promoted into a higher role which has created a fantastic opportunity to join Soulful Experiences and work with clients that are making a positive difference in the world.

We're looking for a food sponsor for the upcoming Dare to Dream Thailand launch at World Bar. Are there any small catering businesses out there (or is there someone in your tribe) who would love to showcase their product. All proceeds from the event go to Hands Across the Water, so the more support we can get the better the outcome for Hands. Oh and of course we'd love to see you at the event.

We’re putting the finishing touches on Future of Leadership this week and it’s all about the detail. The smallest thing can have the greatest impact so walk through your event from start to finish with your team to ensure a truly memorable experience.

September 4 2017, some of Australia’s savviest philanthropists and charities are coming together to launch ‘Dare to Dream – Thailand’, a social enterprise trip like you’ve never seen before.
Following a hugely successful campaign with Sunrise Cambodia, Project Gen Z are teaming up with Australian boutique charity Hands Across the Water, to spread the entrepreneurial love across to their work in Thailand – and you’re invited to this incredibly exciting launch.
Find out more a...bout the amazing work of Hands Across the Water, in an exclusive interview with Hands Across the Water Founder Peter Baines OAM, facilitated by Australian media legend John Tapp OAM. These two Australian legends will be talking all things Hands Across the Water, philanthropy, social enterprise and how this partnership will change the game of charity for some of Thailand’s most at-risk children.

I'm looking for event volunteers for three charity events that we are running for a client later in the year. There will be two leadership conferences - Sydney on 1st September and Melbourne on 21st September - and a Gala Dinner in Sydney on 28th October. Here's a link to the leadership conference, you will get to sit in on most of the sessions so it is well worth volunteering! Love to hear from you.

Some great ideas for your next client or staff incentive trip. Lot's of wow, some off the beaten track, and all giving back to the community. Imagine making your next incentive destination, a philanthropic one. At Soulful Experiences, we can help you bring these ideas to life.

Last night marked the end of the Social Venture Program but the beginning for so many that will return to Australia today with full hearts, fresh perspective, and clarity around what's next. We had a bit of fun last night with the kids, it was a night that will certainly be remembered.
