Camera… and action! With an overall theme based on TV programmes there was something very familiar to everyone at this year's Live Your Dream event! Whether it be candid conversation on the sofa, showcasing Marketing plans in a game show format, or inspirational chat with Sales Leaders, the day was motivational and informative in a fun and entertaining way. One of the main highlights was a presentation by Karren Brady. Karren, known as the first woman in football, is a successful and ambitious entrepreneur. Despite working with household names in the world of industry, she faces the same challenges of any Sales Leader; finding a balance between work and family, and achieving goals, however big or small. Her presentation was an inspiration to many attendees.

New technology within the Avon business was showcased with 'hands on' opportunities to try the new social media site Avon Connects, which will be launched in early September. Look out for more communications during the next few weeks. Long term global plans for changes to the Avon systems were also announced which will help everyone to improve the way they can run their business.

Recognition brought a fantastic buzz to the day - congratulations to all achievers! By coming top in the Now is the Time to Live Your Dreams incentive Advanced Sales Leader Catherine Maynard won a trip to Los Angeles: "This was my first Live Your Dream event and one I will never forget.
