Leadership in Action – AUNZ English – 201609-201610

The Power of Duplication T hree everyday Aussie Mums sat in the audience at Convention 2016. Together, they made a decision: no more dabbling, time to go “all in” and together  —change their lives—no matter what. Within four months, something special started to happen. Three ladies on a mission of enhancing lives became four… then five... then six. As each month passed their enthusiasm and numbers grew and grew.

But of course, I left the best for last. In front of their small army of Marketing Executives, I announced two very special advancements: Senior Director 4 Carole Sellar and Senior Director 6 Yvette Brewin. “To stand there and see what Hayley (Director 8 Hayley Harding), Yvette and I had started was just amazing. There were so many new faces in the room—new lives that we are able to touch and begin to transform. To know that by helping them I have also helped myself, is so completely humbling, I feel so grateful to have found such an awesome company!” Said Carole. In total agreement, Yvette said, “There’s just no other feeling quite like this—changing people’s lives every single day, and getting paid to do so, is surreal.” Of course eleven advancements in one month didn’t happen overnight, the road to success has had plenty of set-backs and challenges. So how did these three lovely women create such a culture of success?

They say, “Good things come to those who wait” but for these women, GREAT things come to those who work! In the month of July, after five months of consistent hard work, their businesses completely transformed! I needed to be part of the action so I hit the road and headed to rural South Australia. I met the three ladies in question and their growing number of new Directors to discuss ‘the next step’ for their businesses. However, unbeknown to them, I had a big surprise in store! July’s hard work had paid off and it was an honour for me to celebrate eleven of their team advancing! Including six new Directors and two new Directors 3, the celebration had the leaders shedding tears of pride— the friendship and care for each other was undeniable.
