ELITE : SIX has reinvented the way we are running our Business Networking company!If you watch this you may get some good ideas, some creative ways that you could employ some new thinking and perhaps some new services you can offer people instead of sitting there and dwelling on the negative aspects of the Coronavirus.Topic was Coronavirus (COVID-19)The one-step to resolving the CORVID-19 hysteriaThere is one ingredient to shifting the lives of those being disrupted and the scenes of panic buying: give them certainty in the form of an absolute.Friday’s Think Tank meeting had two clear points: emotion and leadership. The two are opposites.The panic or mass buying of non-essential items is pure emotion. Emotion is driven by uncertainty.So much of what we hear around CORVID-19 is pure uncertainty.Leadership provides certainty. Certainty on the next step. Where the next step is. Something to aim for. Even if you don’t know what the next step is and you are leader of your family or business, deliver something that is certain. Deliver something absolute. Something that is near tangible.Examples:· A date (which may change),· A time (which may change),· A location (which may change),People need to know and now. Knowing and certainty creates safety. Safety diffuses emotion. Fear subsides. Rational thinking and action resumes. Life is now focussed on there being a next stepIf your boat is sinking and you’re telling your passengers ‘we will be okay’ will only work if there is a lifeboat they can see – the absolute.Deliver the absolute in your message.Now more than ever we look back at history and recount some of the statements issued in grave depression or war time. Now is the time to use history as our teacher and deliver what worked then. It will work now.“We shall draw from the heart of suffering itself the means of inspiration and survival.” – Winston Churchill.

ELITE : SIX 12 Questions with Julia Price - Dale Carnegie Trainingelite6.co.nz/member/julia-price-dale-carnegie-training/Julia Price moved from Wellington to Christchurch, and is grateful to have two places she calls home. She has a BHLSc from Massey University, is a recipient of NZ Fitness Leader of the Year, and has been the Managing Director of Dale Carnegie Training since 2016.Good at juggling multiple babies (mother of triplets), but not so good at gardening, Julia is however an expert at growing people. She worked for Canterbury Police for nearly 8 years and had first-hand experience witnessing people performing under the most trying of circumstances during the 2011 earthquakes. Drawing from her experience as a Health and Safety Manager, First Aid Tutor for NZ Red Cross and Exercise Professional she has a diverse set of tools to understand people and knows what it takes for them to perform at their best.Passionate about human health and psychological wellbeing, the move to Dale Carnegie was a logical one, and has given her the vehicle to not only help individuals overcome obstacles, but helps businesses grow their most value able asset: their people. Dale Carnegie’s principles of human relations aren’t rocket science, they are common sense, and Julia has made it her mission to make them become ‘common practice’ in the workplace. She also practices as a Wellness Coach, specialising in Sleep Education and Fitness for Work.In her free time, she likes to play tennis, play piano, drink coffee, walk (a.k.a. struggle to contain) her Retrodoodle, and invariably work on perfecting the garden.

ELITE : SIX 12 Questions with Helen Oakes - Mode de vie Photography - elite6.co.nz/member/helen-oakes-mode-de-vie-photography/Hi, I’m Helen a photographer and the business owner of Mode de vie Photography which is located in the South Island of New Zealand.I’ve been a professional photographer for 10 years and I predominantly shoot portraits, landscapes and gymnastics! It’s great being behind the camera but I love post processing photos too, it’s where all the magic happens! After many hours playing around on the computer I decided to make my own Lightroom presets, Photoshop actions and textures. I was driven to make my own presets as I wanted a unique style, synonymous to my brand. I could never quite find a style that spoke of me so I made my own.I love using presets as they produce a different look on each photo. What works with one image may not work on another. There are so many presets to choose from to get the look you are after, so experimentation is the key. My presets will also save you time and cut your workflow time down considerably.These presets work well on portraits and landscapes and they can be tweaked to your individual taste. Use with one click or play around a little for the look you want. The MDV presets are just a starting point to turn your photos into stunning images.My PS actions and textures will also give your images a pop and make them stand out. The textures work well with most photos and they add a bit of life and substance to an image. Depending on the blending mode you choose, the choices are limitless. You can stack the textures, erase them back and just blend them in all different ways.My digital products can be used on RAW files as well as JPEGs and they are compatible with LR 4 – 6 and CC.I also make NZ art prints which are a combination of my photographs blended with my presets or actions and textures. Some have a retro feel and some are more vintage or pastel looking. I love making these prints. They showcase the NZ landscape and also highlight a multi-blended piece of art.I hope you like my products as much as I enjoy making them.Please contact me on my email if you have any questions or queries, I’d be happy to help out.
