ACS Affiliate Wins Award

One of our long standing Affiliates, Vahini Panda (www.healthcourses.com.au) has won an International Women's Day Leadership Award: The International Women's Day Women at Work Award.

The International Women's Day leadership awards are for women in business or leaders in organisations who have achieved success through leadership skills and an ability to demonstrate compassion, ethics and passion enough to make a difference. To be considered, a business person is nominated by a business colleague or associate, and they are then chosen based on selection criteria and resumes. A shortlist is then created, finalists are interviewed, and winners are then chosen. There are 5 categories of awards.

We would like to congratulate Vahini.

ACS Permaculture Tutor Lauches New Business

We are proud to announce that ACS permaculture tutor Martin Powdrill and his partner Kim Bernard, who is a professional personal/life coach and public health specialist, have just launched a coaching initiative with a difference.

Sea-Change Living offers people a holiday with a difference: a slow break/holiday with purpose, the chance to step off the treadmill, the opportunity to transform their thinking skills and rediscover the resources they need to start living the life they imagined.

Martin and Kim have created this special place to provide the opportunity for the discovery of a person's special gift or passion, and what's important to them in life.

The driving force behind this initiative is the belief that everyone should have the opportunity to be true to themselves, lead the life they desire, flourish, and be happy.

Kim's coaching is bespoke and includes NLP, hypnosis and a 'Coaching With Nature' programme. Sea-Change Coaching, available in person, by Skype, or by phone, provides the catalyst and 'out of the box' thinking space to enable you to literally transform your life.
