Spring dinner for Woman@Work
The new season was celebrated by ladies at the Woman@Work event on Wednesday September 9 at Glenvista Country Club.
GLENVISTA – Coordinator of Woman@Work, Toni Mackrell, welcomed the ladies to the spring dinner and introduced Shelby Zimmerman from the Sunflower Foundation as well as guest speaker Octavia Ephraim.
Shelby explained what the Sunflower Foundation is about. “The Sunflower Fund was originally formed in 1999 in support of the SA Bone Marrow Registry, which helps find and match bone marrow stem cell donors to patients who need a transplant. They provide hope to those suffering from leukaemia and other life threatening blood disorders,” she said. Shelby encouraged the ladies to support National Bandana Day on October 12.
Octavia is the Founder and CEO of OCTAPEAR Group, a Gauteng based Image Consulting Firm specialising in executive and entrepreneur image management, personal development coaching, and a speaker on fashion, beauty and modesty. Clients in a broad range have turned to her for help to polish their upper management, sales teams and client-facing professionals.
Octavia has always cherished the idea of empowering men and women to be the best in all areas of life. She spoke to the ladies about “spring cleaning yourself” and how to be the best you can be. “In our busy lives we have to make time for ourselves and in doing this we can then help others to become the best they can be.”
