Expand Your Impact is a FREE online initiative that challenges you to think a little differently and grow your success, in any area of life.
Delivered by Make a Change in collaboration with six regional partners – including Central Goldfields Shire Council – this program is for anyone who wants to do more, learn more, connect better, or generally be more effective.
Participation is FREE and open to everyone to participate. The first series was held in late 2022 with the second series to be held every Tuesday from 6 to 7.30pm, for six weeks, from Tuesday 21 February to Tuesday 28 March, 2023. You can also choose to attend single sessions.
The first series held in late 2022 was a great success. Michelle Baker, Maryborough Mill House Coordinator, participated and found the program of great benefit:
“Expand YOUR Impact was instrumental in assisting me to identify a project I wanted to focus on – in my case this was a local community project I was already working on – others in the group focused on personal projects and some on work projects.
“Week by week the Expand YOUR Impact sessions built on the previous week’s sessions clarifying and assisting participants to better articulate and deepen their focus with their own project for improved outcomes.
“Participants were encouraged to share their experiences throughout the sessions and the facilitators were ready with encouraging and motivating feedback.”
Karen Corr from Make a Change said the program provides local people and organisations with useful approaches to boost energy and effectiveness, in order to assist in addressing challenges and to learn new skills.
“Particularly over these last few years, this style of program is proving to be the perfect fit for people who want to link easily into new ideas
“People participate for many reasons including reassessing what’s most important, developing new methods for success, connecting better with community, adapting to change, and developing effective new strategies.”
Central Goldfields Shire Mayor Cr Grace La Vella said it was wonderful to see the Expand Your Impact program on offer to our local community.
“It’s wonderful to hear that our first-round participants had such a positive experience with the program.
“With this in mind it would be wonderful to see more members of our community get involved as part of the second round. The program is a great invitation to take some time out for yourself, learn, reflect, build skills, make projects happen and connect with like-minded people in the community.”
