Resilience and reinvention

Created by Janice Davies, business trainer, tutor, coach, motivational speaker, author, and scriptwriter; Attitude Events brings all of these talents together, providing fun, inspiring and empowering events for all.

“Losing my corporate training business after the Global Financial Crisis, then my online coaching business due to Covid, was tricky, but builds resilience,” Janice says. After her first business loss, Janice committed to an idea she’d had for twenty years and began writing an interactive movie. “I had to believe in myself the whole journey,” she says. Travelling, working part-time, and writing, after ten-plus years of hard grind and her second business loss, she finished it.

The movie’s goal - to entertain but also empower women globally via a fun, feel-good movie. Aimed at the same target market as Wonder Woman and Barbie, her producer is yet to arrive. Meanwhile, she has submitted seven books to a publisher that intertwine with the movie. With quizzes on a phone app and sing-along choruses, this is a new concept for the screens. “I’ve got the script done, the books coming and the rest stored in my head, ready,” Janice says. Aimed at filming in the area, the movie has several local scenes and Janice hopes it will bring more tourists with its production.

While all of these endeavours are underway, Janice is creating events that align with her movie and book. Using a different model from her training business, she is collaborating with One Mahurangi members and locals to create fun learning events aimed at inspiring and empowering those who attend.

Attitude Events have a number of opportunities for you to get involved in the coming month. Join a treasure mapping event with a wine at The Bridgehouse on Wednesday 7 February or opt to participate with a coffee at The Secret Café on Saturday 10 February. Plus stay tuned for workshops coming soon to Warkworth that cover topics such as women's empowerment and dealing with difficult people.
