Wow, what a year we have had! We have taken 80 engagements for 2025. As a ‘newbie’ in this role, I am thankful for the year we have had, it has been an interesting learning curve, I have encountered many wonderful people and had lovely conversations. It has been encouraging to me to connect with and learn from so many of these people and moments throughout the year. There is still much to learn. Sometimes, I feel the more I learn the more I realise I need to learn.
Positive Speakers’ Bureau continues to receive our regular bookings, and we are expanding into new spaces and organisations which is very exciting for us. We are interested to see what is coming up for us in 2026. Bookings are already coming in. If you are planning to book with us, be sure to get a Booking Form sent in and we will be happy to come and share a lived experience. We look forward to working alongside you again.
We are keen to create new connections with organisations and people who would like to connect with us for different events they are hosting. Sharing your experience of PSB coming to visit you is a great way for us to meet new audiences and engage with more people, so please, take a moment to consider your sphere of influence and where possible share our details. We are always happy to connect and answer any questions or explore different ways of connecting within different spaces.
Also, in early 2026 we are looking to host our next PSB Whakataki New Speakers Training. Thank you to those who have already been in touch. If this is something you are interested in doing, please reach out and express your interest. We will be contacting everyone interested as soon as we have the details confirmed.
Thank you for reading and I hope to connect with you again soon. Wishing you a safe and happy holiday season from Positive Speakers’ Bureau.
