Woodvale Girls can Learn to Shine Even Brighter – Community News Group

24/Jun/2010

Eliza-Jane Barnett presents Woodvale Senior High School chaplain Carol Stokes with the cheque for $500.

GIRLS at Woodvale Senior High School are profiting from a $500 donation from Women Can International.

The money will go towards the school’s Shine Girls program, which helps to raise teenage girls’ confidence through personal development, deportment and behavioural training.

WCI founder and chairwoman Hayley Solich said the idea to donate to Shine came from a member whose daughter attended Woodvale and thought it was a valuable program for young women.

“(She) said it was a really, really good program but some of its programs were in need of an upgrade,” Mrs Solich said.

The money was raised through an auction held on International Women’s Day by the WCI where girls as young as seven were invited despite the WCI normally being for women 18 years and older.

Mrs Solich said the WCI aims to help young women “finally take the next step in their journey”.

The Girlfriend Club goes to the Dome Cafe, Midland

I’d like to invite all the women in Perth on Saturday, 3 July 2010, at 2pm to join me for a coffee and chat at the Dome Cafe in Midland.

It’s been a while since we’ve had an event in the Eastern Suburbs and I’m looking forward to catching up with all my girlfriends from the hills area.  Why not join me and catch up with your girlfriends too?

I know we all have such busy lives.  But one thing I am learning is that making time to be with your friends is really important, especially when they are gorgeous girls like the ones that I know and love.

So ask your girlfriends along and join me for a coffee and chat.  Always buzzy, I know we will have a fantastic afternoon.  Let me know if you can come.  I am especially keen to catch up with all those ladies that have been wanting some time with me. :)

Launch of The Red Tent Woman Network in Perth

As those who know me well will know, I am very supportive of other women’s groups and was recently approached by Ludwina Dautovic from The Red Tent Woman to help her launch her groups in Western Australia.

Given that I am the Chairperson of a fabulous women’s network, I didn’t think it was appropriate for me to host one of the events and join her leadership team, but I do want to support her in her desire to help grow strong business women.

So in this blog post I am giving you all the details if you’re interested in going to either of the events, one in Roleystone and one in Kardinya.

On Friday night 18th June or Saturday afternoon 19th June come and join us for our first ever Red Tent Events in Perth!

(Limited places, so book now!)

Ludwina says…

I am so excited to be launching our ‘new look’ Red Tent Events in Perth on Friday 18th June and Saturday 19th June.

We have been working very hard at getting the new model underway and as a result we now have 10 events running in various states around Australia. In fact, it’s our goal to have 100 nationwide withing 12 months.

You may be wondering what the difference is. Well, many women around Australia have been waiting for The Red Tent to come to their city but it was hard to do with the way we were previously running the events. You see, when hosting events in resturants there is a lot of work that goes into it, a lot of marketing and the cost is high. So we realised we had to do something different.

I went on a roadtrip and had a lot of time to think. My thinking led me to come up with a model that allows growth and expansion by growing a team of leaders who also see the red tent vision. I also realised that the home is where the heart is so why not host them in their homes instead of the resturants.

I know it’s radical and no one in the networking industry is doing it, but if you know me well, I like to do things differently and I like to be a pioneer. Well, it turns out that my ideas reflected the thoughts of many and as a result these events are growing like wildfire. So much in fact, I’m having to slow them down to keep up.

Ciao,
Ludwina xxx

PS – Our events are usually fully booked a week prior so if you plan on attending book now! One more thing… I’m coming to Perth from chilly Melbourne so we can have a chance to meet!

How are they run?

They are run like a normal networking event except they are in the comfort of someones home. We will have the usual components; time to get to know each other, time to learn and grow and time to connect and share.

Because the events are no longer held in the resturants, the cost is minimal, therefore we decided that there would be no cost to attend the event; instead, we ask you to contribute. At each event you will be asked to bring some wine, some food and that’s it. Nice huh? Once you have been to your first event, we will ask you to become a part of our community in an official way. But we’ll tell you more about that on the night.

Real Women… Real Business… Real Connection…

Congratulations to June Kelly on her new role…

Is this the face of the next world Talk Show Host sensation?Or is June Kelly already pulling her hair out at the thought of sharing a couch with a panel of men on the new Internet TV Show, "What Men Think?"? Read on to find out more...

We have greatness in our midst ladies.  Move aside, because June Kelly is about to take the internet TV community by storm.

Successful in her audition for the role of the only female host on the new Internet TV show “What Men Think” on Loco TV, June is revelling in the opportunity to control a few men on the couch!

No, she won’t be getting the whips and chains out, instead she will be brow beating them with the questions we are hoping you will all want answered and be willing to watch!  While we’re on that, what would you like to know about how a man thinks?

A special invitation is extended to women aged between 25 and 35 years who would like to be in the studio audience for the filming of the episodes on 20 June 2010 between 11:00am and 4:00pm at a studio in Osborne Park.  If you’d like to participate contact June to get the finer details.

June would also like the help of the WCI community in formulating some conversation starting questions…they can be as controversial as you like, but please don’t make her blush!  Just post your questions as a comment on this page and June will be popping by to read regularly.  Let’s give her plenty of fodder for her new endeavour.

Rumour has it that Steve, the Producer, has asked June to dress and act “edgy”.  Now what does an “edgy” woman look like?  I’d love you to leave a comment if you think you know the answer to that one and can give June some guidance.  After all, her first attempts at dressing edgy resulted in her husband banning her from leaving the house dressed like that!  I can’t wait to see the new June unmasked and dangerous.

At the end of the day, it should be some great exposure for June as she pursues her dream of becoming a TV Talk Show Host.  Move over Oprah, cause our June is coming through! Can’t wait to see her in action.  Come along to our Girlfriend Club and find out more on 5 June 2010.  See our events tab for more details about the Girlfriend Club event under the Choices Event tab.

Media release: Choices, A Workshop for Women

“Making choices in life can often be difficult, causing us considerable stress,” says Founder and Chairperson of Women Can International Inc, Hayley Solich.

“Before I separated from my partner in 2007, I felt quite powerless. But after a horror year living in a one-bedroom granny flat with my husband and four children, whilst caring for my incapacitated in-laws, I learned that despite our circumstances we always have a choice,” continues Hayley

It was when her girlfriends supported Hayley, and helped her to gain the courage to make the break from her husband, that she suddenly experienced ‘the liberating power of choice’.

It was during this time of separation that Hayley founded Women Can International Inc (WCI), a positive Perth-based women’s association that seeks to support women to find and take the next step in their journey, encouraging them to make positive choices.

Two years on, Hayley is back with her husband and enjoying a much more respectful and nurturing relationship and sees that time of separation as a gift to her marriage.

Hayley and the team at Women Can want to pass on to others what they have learned through this and other life experiences.

Choices:  The Power of Possibility Workshop for Women is being held on Saturday, 5 June 2010 at a private luxury holiday home in Quinns Rocks from 10:00am-2:00pm.  The women of Perth are invited to participate in what is going to be ‘an exceptional workshop full of light bulb moments’.

The goal of the workshop is to place in the hands of women, effective decision-making tools so they can make positive choices in their lives.

The workshop will cover:  Sowing and Reaping – How what you do today will be instrumental in the opportunities you harvest in the future; Cultivating the Garden of Opportunity – What are you planting in the garden of your life and how are you nurturing it; To Plant or Not to Plant – Getting solutions to life’s big questions; The Communal Garden – Co-creating solutions to community situations; and Fences, Gates & Borders – Creating, recognising, and responding to personal boundaries.

All women who would like the opportunity to learn how to use decision making tools effectively, gain an awareness of how their choices may be affecting their opportunities and also develop their community partnership skills are invited to participate in this practical and interactive workshop.

Highly subsidised by sponsors The Creaticians, this four-hour workshop includes a light lunch, tea and coffee.

To register for this event contact Hayley Solich on 08 9375 2007 or 0404 732 578 or visit www.womencaninternational.com.  Bookings are essen

International Women’s Day – Think globally, act locally!

A new direction…

As many of you will have heard, our website crashed on Boxing Day and we have had to rebuild the site.

We could have got all hot under the collar about such a tragedy, as a lot of work had gone into uploading women’s profiles and posting about our events and all that knowledge and history was lost in an instance.  However, we see this as permission to rebrand, to bring into play our new direction for 2010 and we hope you will embrace the new direction with an open heart and patience as we find our feet again.

We will be featuring members of the Association on the site again, so I would encourage you to take up our free membership offer.  Due to restrictions on our time, only members of the association will be featured.  To sign up now, visit our Members page.

Also, if you have an idea on how we can improve our service of the community or spread the word that we are in operation, please complete our contact form on the Contact Us page.

Looking forward to seeing you all at the Petticoats, Pearls & Princesses themed International Women Can Day on 6 March 2010.
