Unmasking your influence the Venetian way. 
The Venetian Mask, a centuries-old tradition of Venice, Italy was originally used as a device for hiding the wearer’s identity and social status.  The idea was that the mask allowed people to behave more freely and allowed the wearer to interact with other members of society outside the bounds of identity and everyday convention.  
The masks were used for a range of reasons, from romantic liaisons to illicit or criminal operations! The masks are identifiable by their ornate, baroque designs of gold, silver and a variety of colours. It’s these exquisite Venetian masks that Sergio Teller uses in his engaging three hour team building workshop, “Unmasking your Influence”. Serg has extensive experience in Creative Arts and has worked at a number of reputable establishments such as Opera Australia, Melbourne Theatre Company and Playbox Theatre. His interactive workshop harnesses the power of performance through speech.  With humor he brings out your hidden performer and teaches you how to engage your audience and increase your influence in the workplace. Contact us for more information about this unique workshop!

Boardroom or backyard? 

Do you struggle to differentiate between meetings? To remember which meeting you discussed exactly what? Often they all blend into one vague string of information and ideas, and sometimes they are so dry you feel less innovative than a loaf of white bread!  The impact and effectiveness of a conference or meeting can often lie in its location and structure.  Recently, some companies have begun to look for more unconventional meeting spaces and methods in an effort to encourage greater creativity and innovation within their employees. 

Book Review by Katarina Cobain

Picture
It's taken me a while, but I really enjoyed this book. An outside observer introduces the readers to the main character Ka on his way to his home town, Kars in eastern Turkey.  The book is about a man going back to his home town to write about the increased number of suicides among young girls. While in the town, he falls in love and his ability to write poetry is awakened.  His atheist, western ways are challenged. All this occurs while he is in the middle of a violent attack on the town by a fanatical secular group. The writing style is almost poetic and detailed descriptions of the landscape, weather and mood of the small Turkish town are melancholic and dreamy.  I am from Bosnia and have lived in a religious melting pot, experiencing lifestyles and beliefs of Muslim, Orthodox and Catholic groups. I was fascinated by the plight of the covered girls and the conflict between secular state and religious groups. That’s what I lived through for the first 20 years of my life. As a non-Muslim I’ve always wondered how it would feel and how one manages to live and move on the streets with the head scarf. In many ways it would be difficult but in some other ways it would liberating to be hidden under the veil. My book copy was in Croatian and beautifully translated from Turkish. I would love to hear from anyone else who has read the book in English, and whether they found the writing as poetic and beautiful as I did. Or did the book wake up my own yearnings and romantic memories of my provincial Bosnian town? I was lost in the descriptions of the snow and related to many of the feelings described in the book during the snow falls. If you are up for a journey to a different world please find time to read this book and if you do please let me know your thoughts. I would love to hear your impressions.
