Facing Challenges Together: Highlights from Our Recent Sales Conference

At Leitz, we believe that challenges aren't just obstacles—they're opportunities for growth, innovation, and collaboration. This philosophy took center stage at our recent Sales Conference, where our team came together to tackle both professional and personal hurdles in an unforgettable experience.

Recognizing and Overcoming Professional Challenges

The conference opened with an honest and insightful session where team members shared the professional challenges they face in their roles. From navigating complex customer needs to adapting to ever-evolving market demands, it was a powerful moment of connection and mutual understanding. These discussions laid the groundwork for brainstorming sessions where fresh ideas and innovative solutions were developed collaboratively.

Physical Challenges: Climbing to New Heights

To truly embrace the theme, we took our team out of their comfort zones—literally. We ventured into the treetops, where climbing and ziplining tested our limits and reminded us of the importance of trust, courage, and resilience. Soaring through the trees wasn't just about the thrill; it was about facing fears head-on and realizing that challenges can be overcome when tackled together.

Team Challenges: Mini-Games with Big Lessons

Our partnership with Corporate Challenge Events brought a fun, competitive edge to the conference. Through a series of engaging mini-games, teams had to strategize, communicate effectively, and work under pressure—skills that translate directly into our day-to-day roles. The laughter and camaraderie fostered during these activities were a testament to the power of teamwork in overcoming obstacles.

Business Updates and Collaborative Solutions

Beyond the activities, the conference provided a platform for important business updates. We reviewed our performance, discussed upcoming opportunities, and explored new strategies for growth. It was an invaluable chance to align on goals and collaborate on solutions to existing challenges, ensuring we move forward stronger and more unified.

Mental Wellbeing: A Key to Facing Challenges

We were honoured to have John Toomey as our guest speaker, who delivered an inspiring session on mental wellbeing. He provided practical insights on managing stress, maintaining balance, and building resilience—essential tools for facing both professional and personal challenges. His talk was a perfect fit for our theme, reminding us that mental health is just as crucial as business acumen in achieving success.

Celebrating Excellence

No conference would be complete without recognizing the outstanding achievements of our team members. This year, we proudly presented:

• Top Salesperson 2025: Michael Khoury from New South Wales, for his exceptional sales performance and dedication.
• Managing Director's Award: Kane Mayo from New Zealand and Ralph Mason from Victoria, for their consistent excellence and significant contributions to our success.

Their hard work and commitment are a shining example of what it means to face challenges head-on and emerge victorious.

Moving Forward Together

Our Sales Conference was more than just an event—it was a transformative experience that reinforced our shared values and strengthened our resolve to tackle whatever comes next. As we move forward, we carry with us not only the lessons learned but also the renewed sense of purpose and unity that comes from facing challenges together.

Here's to overcoming obstacles, achieving new heights, and continuing to grow as a team.
