Spirit of Generosity
What does this award mean to me ?
I know it might sound clichéd , but this award does not belong to me , it belongs to everyone who comes together in our Norwex family to support and celebrate each other . Nothing makes me happier than seeing others not only succeed , but thrive in Norwex . I love seeing new Consultants walk in the room knowing no one and leaving with a bunch of new friends , seeing lightbulb moments at training , the feeling of being connected by our passion and working together for the success of others . The way we work together in our local Canberra area is just so special and wouldn ' t be as great as it is without the other Leaders and Consultants there .
What kind of feelings did I have on Saturday night when my name was announced ?
For anyone who was there on Saturday night at Conference , you might have noticed I was a bit surprised by this award ! Conference always gets right inside my heart and this one was no different . I was so full of love and respect for my colleagues who were receiving their hard earned awards . When MY name was announced , all of that emotion just came pouring out ( yes , there was ugly crying ). Seeing Kim , Brian and Paula , along with the previous recipients of the award on stage was amazing and knowing that I was now part of that exclusive group made me feel so valued .
In what ways have I helped others to grow and develop in their business ?
That can be a tricky one to answer because you don ' t always know how you affect others . One thing I strive to do better every day is to try to make others feel included and valued . This is something that I was missing in a regular job for so many years , so I know how important it can be . Sometimes this might be by asking the difficult questions to help someone find their ' why '. Sometimes it ' s recognising that small goals for some people can be massive achievements and celebrating with them or giving them some tips or coaching along the way can make a big impact .
Where do I see myself in 12 months time and 5 years time ?
In 12 months time I see myself wearing a Red Jacket with 1 or 2 other Canberreans , because that is the vision of our ' Team ', that is the direction where we are heading . I will be further developing my coaching and Leadership skills and getting ready to set sail on the Mediterranean with my hubby and 2 kids ( who remind me every day they are so excited to be going on the cruise ship ).
In 5 years time ... who can say exactly , but one thing is for sure , my Norwex family will definitely be party of my future .
How has Norwex changed my life ?
In so many ways ... when I first started , I was very lonely and feeling isolated being stuck at home with a 7 month old and a 4 year old . I even avoided seeing people as I had zero confidence . We didn ' t have much money and I was facing the prospect of going back to work at my part time job that I hated and never felt valued in . Norwex gave me my self confidence back and now I can talk to anyone ( just ask my kids , they are always waiting for me to stop talking !). The personal development with Norwex is second to none ! It ' s given me life long friends and a sense of purpose .
