Bayleys Real Estate
Sue Stanaway, Manager - Residential

"I want to thank you for making such an impact with the session you did on Friday 3rd August 2001 at our Bayleys National Residential Conference. Your delivery and the content of your session was excellent and I have had very positive feedback from all around the country on the difference you have made to our delegates in prompting them to review the balance (or lack of) in their business and personal lives, their health and well-being and what they intend to do to make things better for themselves. Our industry entails long irregular hours, often 7 days and a schedule that is conducive to allowing people to slip into bad habits for eating, drinking and lack of relaxation. Your session was extremely pertinent and I believe it added real value to our 2-day event. I have even made some changes myself."

Dianne Sussex, General Manager

Motorola NZ LTD worked with The Body Corporate throughout 1996 as part of our in-house Wellness Programme.
