Member Testimonials

Women (and some men too!) join Women's Network Australia for a range of reasons and a huge range of benefits.

Look at what others have to say about WNA and join today. We would love to hear your experiences with WNA. Please tell us.

I just absolutely loved my first WNA seminar. All the Members were supportive and a happy group of people who actually listened and gave feedback! I felt very comfortable. Ruth's presentation was very imformative and one I will utilise.

I recently became a WNA Member, have attended my first event and I am hooked! WNA really is a valuable network. I have tried others and I have already gained in one month of membership and one event more than I have ever gained via other membership groups. I really love the event formats and cannot wait to help other women.

Thanks to everyone in the WNA Head Office team. Your have helped me to make so many changes with so many different aspects to the business, equipment and contacts in the last few months it has been an amazing experience. Last week’s networking event was amazing with yet another fabulous speaker. Am always excited to learn more and more, and WNA has it all. Thank you so much.

When I was first starting out in my business your WNA networking group was my very first group to join. I attended that first luncheon in absolute trepidation and fear! I was a complete unknown, didn’t know anyone else going and to top it off I was a kinesiologist. Again very few would know or understand what I did and many people think it its freaky. However after being greeted by WNA Staff who included me in their conversations, I soon settled down and enjoyed the experience. I find WNA's Founder and Director, Lynette Palmen AM so droll and down to earth and I love her easy, if strict, manner of telling people what to do. I love being a member of WNA and take any chance to tell others about how great it is. I have had the opportunity to have trade tables, lucky door prizes, write and have published articles and generally grown my business enormously through being a member. Every new client receives one of your magazines as a gift and I also hand them out at all my workshops and speaking events from Mango Hill to Mackay.

Another fantastic  networking evening ladies – thank you. The guest speaker, Janet Kake was entertaining and inspirational, offering so many tips to put into action. I met three more fabulous women to do business with and another 3 to joint venture with - great stuff! Looking forward to the next one.

Lynette, I would like to say thank you so much for the Networking & Self-Promotion Boot Camp last week. I was very impressed with your knowledge, approach, advice, focus, drive and imagination.  I can see why you are so successful in what you have achieved and there are certainly some qualities there that I need to try and emulate in my own way.

It was an absolute pleasure and joy seeing you and your gorgeous “girls” at the WNA Christmas Luncheon event. It was a fun filled, immensely enjoyable and highly entertaining event, with loads of fun, lots of laughter and so many amazing treats, gifts and surprises. You and your team always put on an amazing event and I’m honoured and privileged to be a part of the WNA community and benefit from the professional, supportive, educational, fun filled environment and opportunities you provide for your Members.  You are a true gift to all Lynette, thank you.

I just wanted to say thank you for a fabulous Christmas Luncheon, I really enjoyed the event, and Karen Phillips was a great speaker, I loved her comment on how as small business we don’t get to experience a Christmas party and she was right that the WNA Christmas Party just filled that gap making us all feel part of something.

I attended my first WNA meeting in Perth yesterday and just wanted to say how wonderful the whole experience was. I was especially impressed by the competence and ease with which WNA Event Co-ordinator, Marina Bertolino conducted the meeting. What a pro! Thanks Marina for making me feel so welcome and for a wonderful introduction to WNA. I'm looking forward to future meetings.

We have been attending the WNA Christmas Parties over the last few years and every year they just seems to get better and better. Fantastic value for money - from the food to the entertainment. WNA never ceases to impress me, definitely a highlight of the festive season for Sasy n Savy and all who attend.

I just love Women's Network Australia and the ability of women to mix business with pleasure. I also marvel at the ability of women to support each other in business, finding some level of integration that provides a healthy growth for all concerned. Very different to the very divided and lonely world of fierce competition.

Lynette - thanks again for WNA's ongoing support. I enjoyed the buzz of the 'Speed Networking' event this month - close to chaos, but a good feel! As well as the opportunity to promote my trek for charity. What don't you get from being a Member of WNA? An amazing organisation to belong to.

You could not have chosen a better ambassador for the WNA network in Western Australia than Marina Bertolino. It is evident that the success of the network in WA is something that is very close to her heart and of very high importance to her. Marina makes a point of making each and every member and guest feel entirely welcome and it is such a pleasure and inspiration to have a leader here that is so passionate and dedicated to her work with WNA. Thank you for bringing WNA to this side of the country as it is one of the best networking groups that I am a member of. I have already made many friends through this network and this is the only network that I make extra effort not to miss out on even one event.

I owe my job to WNA. Thank you for advertising great positions vacant on your eNoticeBoard. I value Lynette and her staff's commitment to bringing out the best in women through their behaviours, interactions, relationships and in networks with other men. I admire tremendously the growth of Women's Network Australia and in particular its extension to women all over the country.

Your networking Luncheons are not only very enjoyable but structured in a way that gives women an excellent chance to know who is in the room and get the best out of each meeting. You have a wonderful energy and sense of humour that lights up the room and I am very impressed by the great calibre of women attending and quality of the speakers and businesses. Keep up the great work - I am so pleased to be a WNA Member. I also wish to say that at the last lunch I met Mishelle Korn (interior designer) and she has already done some excellent work for us.

I would like to take this opportunity to again thank you for a wonderful networking event last Wednesday. The setting for the event was second-to-none. As a new Member I am very impressed with the network. I have made some great connections and have already made positive contact with a few organisations. Also a big thank you to your wonderful team and to Nikita - our advertisement looks fantastic in the Winter WW Magazine.
