Share in the Magic of the 2022 Conference

With another year of moving this to a ‘Virtual’ Event, we promised you excitement, learning, motivation, fun, laughs, inspiration, giveaways and heartfelt moments of Celebration. Thanks to you – our Associates, US Corporate Team, SongDivision and some amazing keynote speakers, we were able to bring to life what we promised. It was truly an event to remember.

Taking us on this journey, were your co-hosts Jenny Messenger, Executive Director Australasia and Chris Simons, Regional President EMEAA, Central and South America.

So, let’s recap…

Speakers, Training and Important Messages

We opened Conference with a thought-provoking video “The Art of Possibility” where Ben Zander provided us with a life-altering approach to fulfilling dreams large and small. He invited us all to become passionate communicators, leaders, and mentors whose lives radiate possibility into the world. Empowering us by sharing a breakthrough paradigm for Leadership, Relationships, and a Life of Possibility

Dr Adam Fraser – Human Behaviour Researcher

What an amazing 90 minutes we had with Adam on The Psychology of Courage and saying No Thanks, Kevin.

Some of the highlights of this session, coming to understand our Evolution Points. By identifying and working through our e-points, we have an opportunity to develop our skills, become more masterful, grow and evolve.

Some of those common e-points:

• Having hard conversations
• Holding yourself and others accountable for taking action
• Calling people on bad behaviour
• Making changes & putting yourself out there
• Admitting you are wrong and apologising

In this moment are you moving towards what’s important to you or away? Have you been able to say No to Kevin more often?

“Discomfort is the price of admission to a meaningful life” Susan David

The 30 60 90 Day Smoothie Challenge Winners

For our marketing update segment, Sarah Wardrop – Marketing Director, Mannatech Australasia, took us through the highly successful 30 60 90 Day Smoothie Challenge.

Building an International Business, Luciano Fidalgo – Gold Presidential Director

We were inspired by Luciano Fidalgo, a seasoned Associate in Mannatech with a lot of experience in this industry and businesses on every Continent. Who better to hear from on Building an International Business and the opportunities available to us in not only existing but also new market opportunities?

His top tip – the fastest way to build an international business is to build a local business. Your local connections help you to build and grow internationally (build locally but think globally)

His lasting thought, “stop thinking like an employee and think like a Business Owner” echoed by Chris Simons, “If you treat this business like a hobby, it will pay you like a hobby”.

The 90-day Commitment, Landen Fredrick – Chief Global Officer and President, North America Mannatech Inc

With the power of our products and the power of YOU, this is the ‘time’ and this is the Mannatech moment to change lives.

He mentioned that despite the challenges of 2020 and 2021, you proved to be resilient and creative. You adapted, reinvented and committed to taking your businesses to new levels of success.

Are you willing to give 90 days of one-hundred percent effort to change everything? 

Commit to spending every minute for 90 days on income-generating actions.  At every moment, do what you are meant to do instead of thinking of all the things you are missing. Team up with another associate who shares your passion for this business and for the life-changing benefits that comes from this all-in approach.

At the 30-day mark and 60-day mark, celebrate the milestones with the ones you love and at 90 days do something BIG to celebrate.

Do the challenge for 90 days, and you’ll rock your Mannatech world.

“Never, ever, give up…things work out in the end, and, if they don’t, it’s not the end.”

Bella Yu and Vincent Kusumo, Gold Executive Director and Silver Executive Director, Highest Level Achieved

What a pleasure it was listening to our Dynamic Duo, Bella and Vincent share why Mannatech is the biggest opportunity in their life.

COVID lockdowns didn’t stop them, they revisited their strategy and refocussed connecting with people on zoom across multiple states and countries.
