In June 2017 Jenni attended the Australian and New Zealand Haircare Business Summit in Queenstown.
There were some inspirational guest speakers namely Chris Helder where being positive he says does not work but having a “Useful Belief” does, not only did Chris translate many experiences in life in a humanly funny way that Salon owners could relate to but he was incredibly informative and inspirational on how to make realistic, achievable goals in your life and business for the better.
Matt Michealewicz and Bruce Cotterill left a Room full of 150 salon owners completely “fired up” about business and life and how to manage the millennials and people from all walks of life in an inspirational way…
One of the reasons for me attending this summit was to extend my knowledge in the marketing aspect as a business owner which Justina from Haircare certainly did but my main highlight was meeting and talking to the great Peter Hillary, Sir Edmund Hillary’s son.
What a man. So wickedly funny, laid back yet completely driven in his love of mountaineering and raising funds to build schools in Nepal. Peter had the room completely in the palm of his hand and on talking to him afterwards the message was that we can all achieve what we want in life if the passion and determination is there.
Queenstown is the adrenaline Junkies paradise so before I left I managed to get in a Shotover Jet ride, a helicopter trip to a glacier, a paraglide and the Nevis Big swing, the longest and highest in the world. A perfect Summit.
