Invigor’10

Do you desire to be a woman of influ­ence to those around you? Do you yearn to make a dif­fer­ence in the lives of fam­ily, friends and col­leagues? Join with other pas­sion­ate women of all ages in this one day work­shop as we hear from inspir­ing women in our com­munity who have been influ­en­tial to those around them simply by liv­ing their lives.

Build­ing on the suc­cess of last year’s Invigor’09, we again invite women to take time out to re-​​energise, con­nect and be inspired by each other. Hear key­note speaker Robyn Robertson’s heart for women across the globe and how she has com­bined her influ­en­tial roles in busi­ness with being a wife and a mother. Then join prom­in­ent local women as we delve into prac­tical and rel­ev­ant daily areas of influ­ence such as rais­ing chil­dren, talk­ing to teen­agers, being a woman in the work­place and com­munity and fin­an­cial issues for women.

While child­care is unfor­tu­nately unavail­able on the day, we are excited to offer a half-​​day option (either morn­ing or after­noon). Lunch is optional this year for those who would prefer to bring their own.

We trust you will enjoy your day!

Key­note Speaker: Robyn Robertson
Robyn Robertson has been mar­ried to John, Exec­ut­ive Pas­tor at Ken­more Baptist Church, for 16 years. Robyn and John have been blessed with two boys, Jake (5) and Liam (1).

Robyn Cur­rently leads a multi-​​country ini­ti­at­ive to bring fin­an­cial edu­ca­tion via mul­ti­me­dia to Oppor­tun­ity Inter­na­tional (OI) cli­ents in coun­tries across sub Saha­ran Africa and Latin Amer­ica. She has served through OI since 2004 as a con­sult­ant across Asia (pre­dom­in­ately India), and from 2007 – 2009 was Chief Trans­form­a­tional Impact Officer for Oppor­tun­ity Inter­na­tional Network.

With a heart for empower­ing women both loc­ally and inter­na­tion­ally, Robyn under­stands the chal­lenges her cli­ents face in cre­at­ing bal­ance in their per­sonal and pro­ces­sional lives. Her insights and exper­i­ences in com­bin­ing her influ­en­tial career with being a wider and mother will greatly encour­age oth­ers and high­light the poten­tial women have to make a dif­fer­ence in our society.
