JAYNE ALBISTON

DIRECTOR - PoD AU-NZ BUSINESS NETWORK ( Australia & New Zealand)

Passionate, energetic and dynamic, I am all about inspiring solutions through international business development and helping others network and connect effectively.

I am the Australia and NZ Director of PoD Business Network Ltd and PoD Business Network Pty Ltd (referred to as the PoD AU-NZ Business Network). In 2011 I brought the business networking organisation 'BoB Clubs' to Australasia from the UK and along with our team built an amazing Trans-Tasman business network that rebranded to the PoD AU-NZ Business Network in December 2017. I am keen to talk to anyone who would like to join us at a PoD meeting or to work with us on this venture.

I am also a Director of PlusOne Dynamics and a certified iMA practitioner. At PlusOne Dynamics we are about building connected networks and teams that are engaging and work effectively. We assist our clients with expanding their online and offline networks by delivering workshops and effective networking strategies combined with team building focused on the differences in peoples' preferred communication styles. We also use iMA strategies to develop successful internal and external communication and connectivity to build High Performance Teams through iMA Team Dynamics Ausits and group workshops.

I am keen to talk to and connect with anyone who would like to increase their business development capabilities, to improve organisational communication & connectivity and to explore business partnerships or joint ventures.

Prior to these enterprises I worked in International Trade and the International Work Study & Travel arena for 12 years. During that time I specialized in identifying international markets for NZ businesses, established new business partnerships within those markets and travelled extensively selling and marketing NZ products and services.

My passion is for business growth. I achieve this by working strategically with businesses to set up and manage mutually beneficial international and local partnerships. The markets I have worked with include but are not limited to: Europe, Russia, the UK, the USA, Canada, South Africa, The Middle East, India, China, Japan and Korea

SPECIALITIES: International B2B development and management of key partnerships, innovation, new business initiatives, strategic management including setting business direction, objectives, goals and implementation, business networking, business over breakfast, business referral, networking PoDs / Clubs, lead generation, social business development, Communication & Connectivity, Building High Performance Teams, Sales Professional Workshops
