We have such a lovely and talented bunch of people

We have such a lovely and talented bunch of people here at PBN so we thought we'd introduce you to them. This week we chatted to PBN member Andrew Hoskins
from Nurse Next Door Mornington Peninsula.

What’s your purpose?
My purpose as leader of Nurse Next Door Mornington Peninsula is Making Lives Better® for those who are limited in function either by advancing age or disability.
.
.
.
What can you help with?
My team can help with a range of tasks, such as simple day to day household chores, assistance with outings such as hairdresser or medical appointments, going to the cinema or theatre, for walks or grocery shopping. We place a high value on overall health maintenance, so our caregivers ensure our clients have assistance with nutrition (food preparation, meal preparation), and assistance with both physical and cognitive exercises as guided by their health professionals.
.
.
.
What excites you?
I am most happy when engaged with people - be it providing education to other health practitioners in my role as a physiotherapist, speaking with people in the community about Nurse Next Door, or socialising with friends.
.
.
.
Who do you admire and why?
I hold particular admiration for those who make a real difference to the lives of others. I admire everyone who makes a contribution to facilitating positive experiences for those with disability, such as support coordinators, plan managers, nurses and caregivers. I also admire the dedication and genuine empathy of health practitioners, and carers who work at aged care facilities or in the community. Folks who function in the local community do just as much for people at a grass roots level as major historical figures such as Nelson Mandella, and the influential US presidents such as JFK.
.
.
.
What’s your favourite saying or quote?
Lean forward. On purpose.

We have such a lovely and talented bunch of people here at PBN so we thought we'd introduce you to them . This week we chatted to PBN member @benjaminwatkinscounselling

What’s your purpose?
To create a place where I can support people in making changes and pushing through challenging stages of life without the fear of judgement or stigma. Especially for men so we can break the stigma around getting mental health (or any form of) support.
.
.
.
What can you help with?
Stress, anxiety, depression, anger, goal setting, feelings of being stuck, relationships, mental performance coaching.
.
.
.
What excites you?
I get excited by seeing my clients grow and make the changes they want in life as well as seeing my practice grow in a way that allows me to achieve my goals.
.
.
.
Who do you admire and why?
Anyone who achieves their goals as they have pushed hard and done the work!
.
.
.
What’s your favourite saying or quote?
"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible." - T. E. Lawrence

Lunch was great! We had our sales presentation by Ashleigh Alsadie first, upstairs in the function room, then headed downstairs for lunch. And everyone stayed on and on! This is how new business relationships are formed.

If you are considering having a function, maybe Canadian Bay Hotel in Mt Eliza is worth a visit.

We have such a lovely and talented bunch of people

We have such a lovely and talented bunch of people here at PBN so we thought we'd introduce you to them . This week we chatted to PBN member Sue Ellison-Whyte from Ellison-Whyte Law.

What’s your purpose?
Empowerment is the key word for me. I love seeing people meet their full potential emotionally, mentally, physically, financially, holistically. I am always striving to meet my full potential and work hard to help others build the scaffolding that allows them to meet theirs.
.
.
.
What can you help with?
We are a general practice based in Dromana. My areas of practice are all things property law, including small business property based transactions such as sale/purchase, and leasing, we also love wills and estate planning. We are your local lawyer and we love working with you to build good scaffolding for your life so you are well positioned to weather any storm that comes your way.
.
.
.
What excites you?
Spider crabs! I am in love with everything water and nature. Last year we swam with Whale Sharks in Ningaloo, WA, snorkelled with Cuttlefish in Whyalla and recently located Spider Crabs on the Mornington Peninsula while they were in the throws of their annual aggregation.
.
.
.
Who do you admire and why?
Sara Blakely, former owner and founder of Spanks underwear. Self-made billionaire, married and mother of four small children, she’s fun, sassy, the life of the party and doesn’t take life too seriously. She spends her spare time helping other people achieve their own success in life.

What’s your favourite saying or quote?
”Mom, I am a rich man” - Cher
