Unlocking the Power of Human Behaviour in Small Business

I’m honoured to be speaking at the Asentiv National Conference on March 28th & 29th in Perth, Australia!

Small business isn’t just about strategy—it’s about people. When we truly understand human behaviour, business stops feeling like a constant battle and starts working the way it’s meant to.

At this year’s Asentiv National Conference, I’ll be sharing my exclusive material on how leveraging the human mind can transform your business in the way we set goals, creating sustainable success, and removing the hidden barriers that keep business owners stuck.

In this session, you’ll learn:

✅ The two critical steps most business owners skip before setting goals—and why they make all the difference.

✅ How to set aligned, actionable goals by working with human psychology instead of against it.

✅ The 3 S’s framework —your key to stopping self-sabotage, breaking bottlenecks, and keeping your business moving forward.

🔑 "This is more than a mindset shift—it’s a game-changer for how you lead, grow, and create impact through your business."

Join me at Asentiv National Conference 2025 by reserving your spot now.

Information will be shared soon.
