This is like answering the question “So what do you do Gabi?” it is always impossible to ‘nutshell’ my life, so I usually say  ”Oh lots of things, where would you like me to start?”

I won’t do that here. I’ll just bullet point it all, that way you can cut to the chase and see if I am someone you would like to work with.

All poshed up for a Gala Ball in Cairns with the Cairns Business Women’s club where I was a board member for 2 years. No longer involved in the Club at the   Board level, I still actively support their work for the Business women and men of Cairns.

As a Board member I was involved in Function Organisation in which I have many years experience, and as a general Board Member charged with assisting in the smooth running of the Club.

Trainer, teacher, translator and interpreter

Trainer – my main objective as a trainer is to share methods regarding improving customer service across the board in businesses of all sorts. It is an area that is sadly lacking in Australia. Friendly caring service should be the normal standard in any business that deals with clients and of course every business does….. no matter what the subject  - everyone has to sell a product or a service in some way. How that is done and how the client reacts must be the first priority in any company. Check out the Are you being served page for more details of my training classes on Service Excellence.

Teacher - After over 35 years of French language study and speaking, I enjoy teaching young people the wonders of learning another language. I work with individuals, both adults, children and family groups where the whole family has an interest in learning French. My  classes are  informal sessions around dining room tables, where laughter is the main aim. We make learning vocabulary fun and verbs bearable! Sometimes parrot fashion just has to be the way but it doesn’t have to be dull. Come and join us in a group session and see what we do.

Translating and interpreting - Translating websites, documents, newsletters into a language your prospective customers speak can make the difference of deal or no deal. Years  of experience allows me to write your important documents in ways that will impress and invite prospective customers to your company door. And if they visit and you need an interpreter for an evening, a meeting or a guided tour, I can do that too.

Tour guide and Executive Meet and Greet – once again the language of love and     diplomacy can be offered to your clients to make them feel special and important. A Meet and Greet  as well as assistance with Departure issues at the airport in their own language will ease the passage through all facets of airport issues. A local guided tour of our beautiful area from Josephine Falls to Cape Tribulation and all points in between, can make the difference between a well taken care of client or one who thinks he may have missed out on something important.

Function Organiser –  as a Director of EventJewel, I have spent many years organising seminars, gala functions, events or all sorts from small gatherings to week long conferences and once again the accent on service is paramount. No stone is left unturned with me at the helm. International visitors revel in the notion that their language is spoken (if it’s French or Spanish of course!!) and love the extra attention they receive.

Documentary film maker – The Presenter.

Recently I have been working as a Presenter, script writer and travel organiser for documentary films with Panther Productions. Two films are nearing completion – Aboriginal Pride – a documentary about whether

 

Tourism is a help or a hindrance to the passing on of Aboriginal Culture to the younger generation and secondly Cousins Across the Sea – a documentary regarding Polynesian Prehistory – is it what the scientists say it is or is it much longer?  Trailers for both of these films will be available  soon on the You Tube channel of Panther Productions.

As you can see -

There are many things that I do, all of which I love doing, so if I can serve you in any way, please feel free to contact me for a chat and we can see how my knowledge and experience can assist you in your requirements.
