25.01.2022 Thanks for the PEPPup sharing at @BOTS this morning. I’m not sure which of the words from my 2020 word cloud I’m saying here... If you’d like me to speak or have some more VITALITY and PEPP (Purpose, Energy, Pleasure, Profit) for yourself and your organisation, please DM Jo Hassan or email [email protected]... #vitality #keynotespeaker #vitalityexpert #johassan #pinkjo #PEPP #peppPurposeEnergyPleasureProfit #KeepYourPEPPup #mentalhealth
24.01.2022 This Wonder Woman Sonia Cuff was a client many years ago. Then she excited small business, our paths crossed for other reasons and we became friends. She’s now on the Microsoft stage and yesterday showed the world how to do a Tim Tam Slam! I’m sure there was some other brilliant techy info in there too... Does that mean Sonia that it’s on the agenda next time you bring your girls over for afternoon tea... when we use the fine bone china? I’d like to see that: the Kiwi showin...g the Pom how it’s done... Love your transformation and what you stand for... encouraging techies to look after their mental health as well as their technical know-how. #timtamslam #timtam #microsoft #msbuild #buildforgood #mentalhealth Jo Hassan #cupandsaucerstory
23.01.2022 This success story is not a pivot but an acknowledgement and return on investment of a solid foundation. It is having a detailed goal and having the tenacity to breath and "take stock" when it feels like all your hard work has "gone to custard"... when you're at the bottom dip of the roller coaster and then have to find the mental capacity to home school as well. Our quarterly PEPPpause boardroom days have been re-drafted this year due to #covid19 I couldn't fly to Geraldton ...in March or June but have instead been available every single week at the same time for my clients. I created a safe place for them to download and discuss the trials and tribulations of doing business during a pandemic. Once a month I've presented more formally, leaving the other days to be more free-form. Early on someone called it "Club PinkWise" and the name stuck so they could take some ownership of it. Vanessa has showed up almost every week... pushing through the challenges and being reminded how important VITALITY is for our mental health... being reminded that amongst the chaos we are our own person first and have to look after ourselves before we can be a wife, mother, business owner or marketing specialist. PEPP is a way of living and doing business with Purpose + Energy + Pleasure + Profit. We need all of those ingredients. We can prioritise them differently at different times but in the end we need them all. Congratulations Vanessa and team! I can't wait to see the next phase of the Amplify Marketing story... _______ If you'd like to be part of a dynamic group of business owners or leaders who realise the value of gathering regularly to share, inspire and learn together, because we need to look after our own VITALITY as well as that of our business, then please DM Jo Hassan or send an email to [email protected] #vitality #PEPP #peppPurposeEnergyPleasureProfit #businesscoach #johassan #mentalhealth #KeepYourPEPPup

20.01.2022 Thanks so much for inviting me to share the PEPPup for a Life with Vitality message with members of the Rotary Club of Brisbane Inner North last night. Living life and business with PEPP means to see everything you do through a lens of Purpose + Energy + Pleasure + Profit. This will increase your vitality and that of your business. And vitality travels... to your family, your clients, your team... everyone in your world. And having more vitality improves your mental health ...too. And that can only be a good thing for you and everyone around you. If you’d like Jo Hassan to speak to your group please send a DM or email [email protected] #rotary #vitality #vitalitytravels #PEPP #peppPurposeEnergyPleasureProfit #keynotespeaker #johassan #mentalhealth #author

20.01.2022 My obsession with VITALITY ties in heavily with my previous experience of mental illness and its prevalence in our community, especially now. I have had countless conversations over the years where I've listened to my instinct and encouraged people to seek professional help or take other action to improve their well-being. They have been family, friends, clients and strangers. I've had a client thank me for saving his life. A few months ago I gave a new client a full refund ...because after the initial coffee appointment he decided to visit his doctor and was receiving specialist psychological help within a few days. Up until now I've taken the "What feels right to Jo" approach. Over the last couple of weeks I've taken some formal training and am now proud to be able to call myself a "Mental Health First Aider". Thankfully there was a fair bit of overlap with how I've managed situations in the past and how I will in the future. Confidence around a well-thought out framework will be really useful. It's my understanding that previously this course has only ever been run in a face-to-face training room scenario. Well done to Mental Health First Aid Australia for the fast turnaround in creating a blended program for these #covid19 pandemic times when mental health issues are on the rise and more people are needed in the community to encourage supportive action and save lives. Rather than being in a physical room together, we had a few hours of online learning to do and then 2 group live webinars. Donna Thistlethwaite did a super job of facilitating the whole blended process. The information shared was real and useful. I would go as far as to encourage absolutely everyone to participate in this training, unless they had a mental health crisis happening right now, in which case, whilst it may be useful knowledge it may not be appropriate. Donna’s next online public program commences 22 July, with the pre-work having been completed before that. Please reach out by DM or emailing [email protected] if you’d like an introduction to attend. It’s also possible to have a private program for your workplace. #mentalhealth #suicideprevention #mhfa #vitality
19.01.2022 Thanks for having me speak about PEPPing up at breakfast this morning. PEPP means living business and life through a lens of Purpose + Energy + Pleasure + Profit. Looking after our VITALITY has always been important, but with mental illness on the rise, is especially so now. If you, your team or your business could use some some VITALITY or PEPP please DM Jo Hassan or email [email protected] #vitality #PEPP #peppPurposeEnergyPleasureProfit #KeepYourPEPPup #keynotespeaker #author #businesscoach

18.01.2022 In the time it takes to have a coffee - even a virtual one or a Zoom one - you could have a conversation that saves a life. R U OK Day Community Ambassadors Jo Hassan and Justin Geange put on their #community attitude this afternoon and gave some time to be filmed promoting the cause - thanks to Joshua for that! #mentalhealth and #suicideprevention are serious subjects but you can still have a laugh along the way!
16.01.2022 How far have you been stretched this year? In this year of the coronavirus pandemic that we call Covid-19, we have all had to dig deep in some way. We have all been stretched in some way. I know people whose work evaporated and they were lonely with so much time on their hands that they made scrubs for nurses to maintain sanity. I also have clients who have never been busier and are really having to focus and plan downtime more than ever to not experience burnout. Someone els...Continue reading
16.01.2022 I’ve got the workbooks all ready for Tea School thanks to my reliable, trusty and superb quality in-house printer. We have a few spots left at the Tea Blending Workshop Wed (tomorrow) evening where we’ll learn about mixing herbs to make blends that de-stress us. And apart from it being a fun and hands on business networking event, research shows that when you keep your brain active learning new things then you actually live longer! Being bored really is a killer. So even if ...you’ve never thought about learning about tea before, why not join us simply to try something new to help your brain. Apart from these comprehensive notes, you’ll receive a glass and bamboo travel flask, ingredients to blend on the night and take home, some yummy food samples from the chefs at Brooks and Stain AND a take home supply of Herbal Tinkerer Amir Kamkar’s special VITALITY blend. So I’m not the only one talking about #vitality these days! Click on the link to BOOK NOW!

16.01.2022 Collaboration is always important. I have collaborated with others myself on numerous occasions and am always introducing people to one another if I believe there is a synergistic win to be had. As my speaker colleague and good friend Derrick McManus - Inspirational Speaker, Facilitator and MC says "Rather than being at war, in this world now where we've got COVID, everybody in the world is gathering together. Everyone is collaborating. Everybody is sharing ideas... May be o...ur plans aren't big enough for our own business. May be we need to look at a higher goal than what the general person in business sets..." What do you think? If you need some help and someone to run ideas past, please reach out...

15.01.2022 What ‘something’ do you need? With what the world is going through with the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, we ALL need something. Some need to boost their immunity Some need to socialise safely of course for themselves personally or for their business Some need to stop and play because they have never been busier...Continue reading
14.01.2022 2 years ago I was grateful to receive a review of my book from the then Lord Mayor Graham Quirk. Full Circle - Building Resilience in Business and Life from the Jagged Edges of PTSD is my story of recovery from mental illness. It’s why I now choose to live with VITALITY and PEPP every day... and try to inspire others to do the same. It may well be useful if you or anyone close to you are challenged with what is happening in the world right now. I’ll pop links for availabili...ty in the comments or please reach out to Jo Hassan directly by DM or emailing [email protected] if you’d like a personally signed copy... or would like to chat... #mentalillness #ptsd #resilience #vitality #fullcircle #fullcirclebook #johassan #keynotespeaker #author #businesscoach #PEPP #peppPurposeEnergyPleasureProfit
13.01.2022 I don’t often wear the jacket that’s on most of my branding as it’s more of a wintery one... yesterday was one of those rare days! Thank you for the invitation Robert Cooper - it was an honour to share the PEPPup message with Kedron Brook Business Group. With mental illness on the rise, now more than ever it is important to look after our vitality for the sake of our mental health. Thanks for your hospitality and yummy food Bis & Steve at Brooks & Stain. ...

12.01.2022 A new start for us all, not just financially The start of the new financial year always gives us an opportunity to review and re-group or re-focus; a time to evaluate our progress through goals and plans for the year or the quarter. With my clients I talk about a PEPPpause. Pausing to reflect on our PEPP which means living life and business through a lens of Purpose + Energy + Pleasure + Profit. We may only be half way through the calendar year but 2020 so far has been a ye...Continue reading
11.01.2022 3 years ago today... fun with fire in Louise Williams - The Future Self Guide’s brand spanking new studio... making full circles with sparklers for my Full Circle book cover. And, yes, there was a stray spark that started a fire on the drop sheet I suggested we put down. We giggled like teenagers after I stomped it out in my stilettos!!!

09.01.2022 For the last two months during this period of the COVID-19 pandemic I have been living physical isolation on a yacht in Moreton Bay. Yesterday I had a "full circle moment" with my first business meeting on board the boat. I supported Luke Fox to grow his business Extraclean back in 2008. A tremendously important part of the strategy I give any clients is to systemise the business very early on. This increases the vitality of both the business and its people. Luke embraced tha...t wholeheartedly and has been reaping rewards from taking action on that for many years now. During our time together yesterday Luke took one of those phone calls. The type of call that sends shivers down the spine of any business owner. The type of information shared keeps entrepreneurs awake at night with anxiety. Unless they have systems that is. Systems free everyone from worry and having team members embrace the documented methods of any business makes life easier for them and more profitable for the business owner. And documented these days could just as easily be a series of photos or videos as a library of folders. There are many reasons why systems can revolutionise any business including what Michael Gerber said in The E Myth Re-visited namely Systems permit ordinary people to achieve extraordinary results predictably. And the reason I said our meeting was a full circle moment is that back in 2008 when Luke and I spoke every week after he’d done his planning, he’d done that strategising sitting on his boat moored in this very marina! When we had a coffee 6 months ago I quizzed him about the marina and based on his advice it’s where I’ve based my yacht VITALITY for most of this year! If systems scare you or bore you, perhaps I can help lighten the load... please reach out by sending a DM to Jo Hassan or emailing [email protected] #extraclean #vitality #sailingvitality #PEPP #peppPurposeEnergyPleasureProfit #peppSmallBusinessCoachingProgram #johassan #keynotespeaker #author #businesscoach #fullcircle #fullcirclebook #fullcirclestory #covid19 #systemsfreeeveryone
09.01.2022 How do you keep your VITALITY up when chaos seems to be prevailing all around? Sometimes looking after yourself, which I’ve certainly had to do a lot of lately, looks like serving others. For 6 months from the middle of March, I was available every single Wednesday for what became known as the Club PinkWise Huddle... a place for camaraderie and stories of grimness and greatness. Some clients’ businesses have never been busier and others have never been quieter. We shared a...nd inspired one another. For the last few weeks we’ve met fortnightly, and I could do this less formal gathering sitting down today! Do you need a safe place to share and bounce ideas about keeping your VITALITY high and your PEPP up, what ever is going on?

08.01.2022 Seth Godin is such a genius thought leader and marketer. Sometimes his blogs are long and sometimes short like this one. This one got me thinking... absolutely "the second favour" is the hardest one to ask in a friendship situation. But in a business situation it is often imperative that something is done precisely the same way every time. And rather than making it hard, take the emotion out and call it a system. Then it becomes "This is the way we do it here... and we want ...to do it the same way every time so our customers know what to expect... and there is less chance of errors and accidents and profit leaks... and that keeps profits up..." I could go on. There are so many reasons why following systems is a terrific idea to benefit the business and become an asset of it. And they tie in with the VITALITY or PEPP of the business. PEPP = Purpose + Energy + Pleasure + Profit Systems very obviously tie in with Energy and Profit. Purpose and Pleasure are less obvious... I’ll leave that up to you! People either love them or are terrified by the thought of creating them. If you'd like some help with PEPPing Up, re-energising and systemising your business, please DM with Jo Hassan or email [email protected] #SethGodin #systems #vitality #vitalityexpert #johassan #pinkjo #PEPP #peppPurposeEnergyPleasureProfit #KeepYourPEPPup #mentalhealth

06.01.2022 During the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, Transformational Leadership Expert Naomi White - Metamorph Co interviewed a variety of women around the world. She called her series "Naomi White's Corona-cation" and asked questions about culture, health, spirituality and business during the time of coronavirus. I spent 2 months (1 April - 31 May 2020) physically distancing on my yacht VITALITY in South East Queensland's Moreton Bay. At the end of this time, whilst at a marina in Raby Bay, ...I was delighted to be speak with Naomi about my experience. The 1977 Roberts 34 foot cutter-rigged sloop VITALITY is in the process of being renovated. This image of the interview setup is an example of making work "work" under sometimes challenging conditions. In this case positioning the laptop camera correctly for the moving early afternoon sun! What was your most challenging work moment in recent months? Here's the link to the interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FHKRVKpkkM Can I help you to increase your VITALITY?

03.01.2022 So this happened this afternoon... my first ever sitting down RU OK? presentation. Well better that than not at all... Perhaps I misunderstood the surgeon about clearing my diary for one week not two so figured I’d ask about Zoom from the couch as I couldn’t go to the city. There were people around Australia and NZ anyway so they were happy I could go ahead and still talk about how to have an RU OK? conversation... in the time it takes to have a cuppa you might just save a l...ife. We need to look after our mental health and reducing loneliness is a huge factor in suicide prevention. #ruok #suicideprevention #mentalheath #community #ghd #melanoma
02.01.2022 Last Friday I did my first speaking in a while with actual people in an actual room, rather than a Zoom Room. We ate delicious food in a beautiful historic building in a serene country setting, but it wasn’t about any of that. What was most important was sharing Why Vitality Matters Now. Vitality matters all the time but especially now because we need to care about ourselves enough to consciously protect ourselves from the mental health crisis we are in as a whole. Resear...ch published in The Australian Medical Journal in June states that mental illness in Australia doubled during the first month of the #covid19 lockdown. I believe planning for some PEPPpleasure every day is part of personal care... not just something to look forward to on weekends or a holiday (that may have now been cancelled). Thank you Vickie Magic for inviting me to participate in the inaugural Magic Matters Mastermind Meetup and Mingle luncheon. The event was so worthwhile as a piece of the Vitality Matters story. If you’d like some support with your own VITALITY or that of your team or business, please DM Jo or email [email protected] PS I couldn’t include a little video here so put it as a comment! #vitality #vitalitymatters #vitalitytravels #PEPP #peppPurposeEnergyPleasureProfit #johassan #keynotespeaker #author #businesscoach #PEPPup #vickiemagic #mattersmagazine
01.01.2022 We can fit a handful more people in at our #covid19 -friendly LIVE event this afternoon in Stafford. We’d love you to join us! Why do I host these events? Because I’m passionate that we consciously try to live our best life with VITALITY to look after our mental as well as physical health. In my 15 years experience as a business coach I have met too many people who think pleasure is something you do when you take a holiday or at the weekend.... I’m on a mission to have everyone plan for pleasure every day as part of the PEPP formula. Living with PEPP or vitality means doing business and life with Purpose + Energy + Pleasure + Profit. PEPPexperiences are a way to try something that may be outside your normal comfort zone as well as being FUN and a way to meet new people. Book NOW to join us!

01.01.2022 Are YOU Okay? 2020: Fires. Floods. Fear. We have fear of the unknown and lack of control over many aspects of our lives during the coronavirus pandemic we call COVID-19. The need for a Is everything all right with you? or RU OK? conversation has never been greater. Even people who generally have it all together are experiencing anxiety. R U OK? conversations have saved lives. Exactly how many we’re not sure of yet. What we do know though is that an awareness of mental...Continue reading
