Business awards 2010

After the success of Peter Kenyon, the team at Pride in Putaruru will be starting the planning for this years annual business awards. This is an event where businesses are congratulated and recognised by the services they provide to members of our community. What is special about how these businesses are placed in their catergories is that it is the community who are the judges. It is a businesses community that make the best judges because many of them use the business more than once and know if the services and customer service is consitent.

The theme for the 2010 Business awards is Spring Fling. After the 2009 business awards where people danced the night away till all hours, we will guarantee that this years promises to be just as great.

Business after 5

Tonight is the meeting of our business network - business after 5.

Tonight focuses on a follow up of Peter Kenyon and looks at the information presented at the business sessions and the issues that were identified at these sessions. The businesses that attend these sessions gained valuable information and were shown examples of struggling businesses that changed their outlook on business matters to turn them into national and international acclaimed and extremely profitable businesses.

Pride in Putaruru encourage all community business owners to join us downstairs at the Putaruru District servies memorial club from 6pm. Don't miss your chance to be part of the process in re-inventing Putaruru.

Peter Kenyon sessions have started the ball rolling!!!!!

The Peter Kenyon conference kicked off on Tuesday 20th April with a Putaruru only session. This session was a cafe style meeting which encouraged all who attend to put forward their thoughts and brain storm ideas with other members of our community. Many positive things happened within this session from identifying their personal thoughts about our community to where they would like to see Putaruru in the future. Throughout the session fantastic and acheivable ideas to drive our community forward were put forward and Pride in Putaruru have recorded all these ideas and the people interested in making these ideas turn into reality.

It was great to see members of our community become excited and inspired at the line 'if its to be its up to me'. One of the key points identified was that many people within Putaruru have a negative outlook towards our community and in order to drive Putaruru forward we need to start talking our town and community up and change it from the inside out. We urge all people within our community to start focusing on all the great phsyical, social and environmental assets we have because Putaruru really has great foundations that we can use to create an awesome town with an awesome reputation.

From Wednesday to Friday, Peter ran 8 more sessions in the areas of building healthy and resilient communities, business and youth. The team at Pride in Putaruru have received many positive and outstanding comments from all who attend with many of the attendees already making huge positive changes to the way they look at things, run their business and interact with people within their own communitites.

The team at Pride in Putaruru would like to thank all that took the opportunity to hear and learn from Peter and encourage others that missed out this time to check out Peter's website at http://www.bankofideas.com.au/. On this site you can find Peters inspiring words and actions and workable tools you can use to make a difference in many areas of not only your community but your life.
