Domestic workers - the unsung heroes in most homes

Domestic workers are the unsung heroes in most homes

They play a big part in many households across the country and often do not get the needed recognition. Hirsch’s Centurion recently decided to change that around in the area and give credit where credit is due through one of their training sessions on appliance maintenance aimed at domestic workers.

“Hirsch’s does this training in all its stores on a  monthly basis to acknowledge the hard work domestic workers do through what is called the “Domestic Worker of the Month” competition in every store they have across the country,” says Hirsch’s Centurion PRO Joanne Brunette.

If you would like to send your Domestic to one of Hirsch Centurions Domestic Worker Courses, contact their PR and Marketing Officer, Joanne Brunette on joanne@hirschs.co.za

WEALTH SUMMIT SPEAKER brings inspiration for SUCCESSFUL NEW YEAR at Hirsch’s Centurion

John Broome, currently a speaker on the Wealth Summit Circuit, addressed the 42 guests at Hirsch’s Centurion’s first Business Networking Breakfast held for 2015.

 

He spoke on the “9 Steps to Personal and Professional Success” – stressing the importance of having crystal clear goals in 2015. He also explained how our thoughts attract what we desire toward us, and that they must be coupled with action if we are going to see our desires become a reality.

 

John is the owner of Mind Power, a business dedicated to developing human potential through the use of cutting edge technology, life empowering courses and coaching.

 

Every person present could take some inspiration and food for thought from the message – irrespective of the many different industries and businesses represented at the event.

 

Two prizes were up for grabs and following the theme of the morning, were handed to the first two participants who “took action” and came to fetch them from John.

 

As one of our attendees said: “this message is so needed at the beginning of the year, reminding me to stay focussed and clear on my goals in order to achieve them.”

 

Afterwards, each person had 30 seconds in which to introduce themselves and their business.  This was followed by some one-on-one networking whilst enjoying a cup of coffee and light snacks.
