I had a bright idea to set up my own business but had no idea where to start.  I found the Southern Cross Connection on the internet.  Over a 10 month period, with their encouragement and mentoring services, I started my own business.  I now find myself assisting small businesses with their bookkeeping, business planning and staff development programs.  It is so much easier to bounce ideas off another person I could actually speak to.  Thank you SCC for starting me off on the right track.

It took me a number of years to finally finish writing, editing and publishing my book.  I cannot thank my friend Carmel enough for her support, encouragement and positive feedback over those years.  Here I am at the ripe old age of 100 an author at last.

 Dianne was always encouraging and kept me on track.  I am so grateful for how she patiently taught me to shorten my sentences and leave out all those “very”, “but”,  “and” words.  She actually turned me into an author!   We finally got my book finished and published.  Yeah!

Working with SCC has been a game changer.  Their mini- learning/mentoring sessions have helped me to upskill my management skills and provided the confidence and support for us to go online to sell our products globally.

Thanks to Southern Cross Connection and their team I finally published my book and realized my lifelong dream.  Dianne’s guidance and support was invaluable.

Thank you to my beautiful Aunt who allowed me to read and at the same time get a much wider understanding about her life, journeys and hiccups over the years through her words. I loved the devotion and courage that was shown through Carmel’s story and has inspired me to be a better person and to understand how hiccups can be dealt with. The achievements Carmel has accomplished  throughout her life have been shown at a great level and will be influential for anyone that decides to read her story. I am a very proud niece and remain a great admirer of all she has achieved
