Kids Can Create Books Workshops 

This workshop is for school aged children who have an idea for a story that they would like to publish.

Whether it is a picture book or longer story, kids can bring their ideas to life, giving style and colour to a story solely created by them.

Award winning international author of empowering picture books for children of all abilities, Michelle Worthington, will give aspiring authors and illustrators the information they need to decide what genre they would like to focus on, how they can create engaging stories and the process involved in publication.

You can find out more about Michelle at www.michelleworthington.com

Julieann Wallace, director of Lilly Pilly Publishing, will give real life examples of the children she has worked with to help them share their stories with the world. Visit www.lillypillypublishing.com for more information.

To get the most out of this workshop, children are required to have a project in mind they would like to work on so they get relevant and constructive feedback and can have their specific questions answered.

Bookings essential as places are limited. Parents are welcome to stay during the event, or take some time to read in the library while the workshop takes place, but we require all parents to stay on site.

LinkedIn Masterclass with Julie Mason

Businesses large or small that want more referrals, leads and sales with quality prospects and clients using LinkedIn have a powerful ally – Julie Mason. The highly-motivated businesswoman, keynote speaker and author loves nothing more than demystifying LinkedIn and sales strategy.

These days, Julie is known as ‘The Social Media Princess’ a name aptly bestowed upon her by her clients for her ability to make the confusing world of social media simple to understand and use, strategic, profitable and fun!

Through her coaching programs, speaking events and online webinars, Julie has helped and inspired thousands of people to make a significant difference in their business using social media and LinkedIn.

Julie is a passionate LinkedIn expert and specialises in creating strategies that promote your brand, enhance your reputation and generate big money leads for your business.
Julie’s message is simple – “With over 80% of B2B conversions coming from LinkedIn, can you afford not to use it correctly?”

Starting her first foray into cold-calling at the tender age of 5 years old, Julie was on a mission to raise money for the poor people through selling her crayola and paddle-pop stick masterpieces. She returned home to her shocked mother rattling her bag full of coins with great success! This was the start of Julie’s love affair with sales.

Julie has over 25 years experience in traditional sales and 15 years in door-to-door cold calling prior to discovering social media and starting to use those tools to build two successful businesses herself using the methods she now teaches others.

In the past 12 months Julie’s clients have generated over $1,000,000 using simple strategies that are proven to work. Whether to position yourself as an Authority in your niche or to generate quality leads and sales, Julie has a strategy that will be tailored for your business needs.

Goal Setting for Authors

Where are you now in your career as an author?

 

Outline your top 3 strengths and areas to determine where you are now.   Top 3 strengths:   1.     2.     3.

Top 3 areas for development:   1.     2.     3.

 

 

 

What drives you? What are you passionate about? What gives you that ‘whoo hoo’ moment during the day?

On the flip side, what do you want to avoid? What’s the part about what you do that makes you not want to get out of bed in the morning?

 

Focus on ensuring:

• Development goals are aligned to organisational strategy and needs; whilst supporting career aspirations; that they are clear and measurable.
• Development goals should build skills that directly impact your capability to enable increased performance.
•  Learning experiences and formal learning activities (if appropriate) are explored to support the achievement of goals.
• A timetable for completion of activities and milestones during the development year

 

 

 

 

A good author development plan:

 

• Focuses on the development of a few skills, balances the need to develop both strengths and development areas that are tied to performance goals
• Has concrete action steps
• Sets gradual, realistic, and achievable success measures.
