What I do definitely isn’t for everyone. In fact, thinking about it in context of the greater corporate business environment, what I do is incredibly specific. Very niche. In essence, I’m a conference guru. When businesses need to spruce up their conference holding skills, they turn to me. From public speaking to conference venues in Victoria, I’ve any business, big or small, covered. Aside from being one heck of a lot of fun, my job is also very difficult. Not only do I get all my clients exclusively through networking and recommendations, but I also have to be at the very forefront of conference holding innovations. I need to know about all the best places to hold a conference all around Victoria and all the latest public speaking techniques, tricks, and hacks.
More than that, my job involves a heck of a lot of travel. As attractive as that may sound, I can assure you, it isn’t so glamorous in person. Most of my clients want to find locations that are either within the Melbourne CBD or in an exotic location that’s a maximum of three hours away. That range includes a flight to Sydney or Adelaide as well as a three hour radius from Melbourne. Finding brilliant, sophisticated conference centres and suitable accommodation in regional Victoria demands extensive searches. As I sit here, typing out this very article, I have only just managed to find premium Lorne accommodation after being here for a week. Although a week may not seem like much, to do this all the time means I end up spending an awful amount of time away from my family. But the potential consequences of not discovering these little gems buried in the wilderness, like the conference centre in Lorne, make the risk of not going worth the pain of separation from family and friends.
