The Conexus Crew staying fit and healthy on the Bridge to Brisbane. Cath, Andrew & Scott got an early start in the 10km
|
|
run, while the rest of the team opted for a sleep in and the shorter 5km course.
|
 |
 |
As we get to spend so much time away from home, we like to participate in community events at the different towns we travel to. Here are Andrew, LA,
|
|
Cath & Scott and their cowboy hats with Xstrata at the Mt Isa Rodeo - the largest rodeo in the southern hemisphere.

A glamorous awards night to finish off the 2009 Conexus Strategy Summit. A quiet night had by all.

Andrew & LA hiking with some of the Ausenco team as part of the Ausenco EmEx program.

Always looking for an excuse to dress up, Conexus took to the Brisbane streets for the Brisbane City Romp,
|
|
dressed as jellybeans and 'thinking as one team'!

 |
The Conexus Team at our Strategy Summit in June 2008.
Not only did we set some
|
|
clear direction for our future, we solved a murder mystery along the way!

 |
Conexus has been a very proud supporter of the Hear and Say Centre for the past two years, supporting the wonderful work they do with hearing
|
|
impaired children. We have sponsored a child to undertake their full program, providing them with an opportunity to develop speech and language skills so that they can participate in mainstream education, employment and social activities. For more information on the work the Centre does, go to: Hear and Say Centre

Louyse's dedication and hard work were recognised last month when she received a 'Passionate Office Professionals' Award
|
|
at a Brisbane POP Event. Although she was a little disappointed she didn't get the diamond earrings, we had a fabulous lunch and she received a gorgeous, very large vase which will require filling with gorgeous, very large flowers (note to Darren!).
|

 |
LA attended the Women's Leadership Forum at Harvard in Boston during April. The theme of the program was 'Innovation
|
|
for a Changing World', and provided a lot of stimulating leadership ideas and models to put into practice at Conexus. It was an inspiring week learning from women around the world, including a strong Aussie contingent which is already providing good support now we are back home.
|
|
 |
LA & Scott travelled to Salt Lake City in December & February respectively to deliver the 'Working Together' program for Rio
|
|
Tinto Shared Services & Information Services groups. Between them they delivered 8 programs to almost 200 participants. The view from the training room was a little different than what they were used to!
|
|
 |
Thank goodness it was for a good cause!
The normally dashing Andrew grew a moustache
|
|
for Movember, raising over $1500 from sponsors which Conexus then matched for each dollar. The money went to the very important cause of raising awareness of men's health and depression issues. Apparently he was not seen with his teenage daughters much during the month...

Conexus was pleased to sponsor the Australian Human Resource Institute's HR Practices Day for 2007, with the theme for this year's conference being 'Delivering Practical Business Outcomes'. We got everyone's brain cells going early over breakfast, with our customised Conexus puzzles. If you are still trying to solve the puzzle, give us a call for the solution!
As always, it was a successful day, focusing on the practical application of HR in organisations and a great opportunity to network with other HR professionals from around Queensland and learn about the challenges and solutions being developed by businesses across a range of industries.

To celebrate the launch and rebranding of Conexus in July 2006, some of the Conexus team took to the skies of Brisbane for an early morning balloon flight.
|
|
It was a great way to get a new perspective on our city and, after a rather eventful landing, the champagne breakfast was much appreciated.
|
|
 |
The team at Conexus is certainly flexible.
With flip chart, coloured pens and great facilitation
|
|
skills we can put a program on the ground anywhere. Scott demonstrates the tough gigs - facilitating a leadership retreat for the team at Gemco on the beautiful Groote Eylandt.
|
|
 |
On his trips to the US for Rio Tinto, Andrew again shows his level of commitment and determination in dealing with all challenges that come his way.
Whether it is having to drive a Mustang Convertible across the US or ski some of the best ski fields in Salt Lake City with his customer while the rest of us swelter in a Queensland summer -
|
|
he does it with the style and flair for which he is renowned.
