Some sessions also feature special industry guests who share their valuable insights, lessons and experiences such as the upcoming webinar on Thursday 21 May at 1pm (AEST) / 11am SGT & MYT (UTC+8). In this webinar, which addresses the science and art of motivation, Australian Business Partnership Managers, Miriam Cohen (NSW) and Tyler Adams (VIC), are joined by Fiona Kriaris (YMCA Victoria) and Leisl Klaebe (Virgin Active) to discuss proven strategies to uniting and motivating diverse teams. You’ll also discover if there are differences between how full-service clubs and boutiques motivate their teams, and the practical ways you can improve your current methods for even better results.
