Reminder: A simple question like “Are you okay?” can have a profound impact and might even save a life 💛

R U OK Day is a standout Australian initiative that's been making a difference since 2009.

Over the years, many companies have embraced this important message, supporting suicide prevention within their teams.

In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, we might forget to check in on those around us, but remember, just asking “Are you okay?” can make a significant difference.

As you observe this day, take a moment to reach out and ask, “R U OK?”

Your care and concern can truly make a world of difference 🌟👂

We attended a fantastic HR workshop with Colin which was promoted through the AFDA. While we have had a rough idea of where we need to get to with our HR processes for some time, Colin helped outline the path to actually getting there and demystified some of the concepts we were less familiar with. Within just a few weeks we are already moving towards implementing parts of what we learned. I am looking forward to working with KeyBA more in the future.

I am 23 years old and have been studying sales for the last 4 years, while actively working sales roles for the past 16 months. Today I had a full day sales training with Colin, and I must admit, everything I've learnt over the last 4 years. Colin summed it up in less then 8 hours. Explained perfectly. I would highly recommend Colin and Allyson. They are honestly superstars.

We recently decided to make the " tree change" to regional Victoria. I approached Colin and his team at KBA to assist me with finding a role that would make the " tree change" complete. Having known Colin on a professional basis for over 25 years, I knew full well, Colin's extensive network both in Victoria and nationally along his passion to find the right fit for both individuals and companies would result in me finding a fantastic and satisfying role.

It has been a pleasure working alongside the KBA HR Team on our WHS project. Maja and her team go above and beyond the agreement scope giving us help in all areas not just WHS. They adapted to how we run internally including using our systems. Importantly, the team is fun and real in their advice. Thanks Team!

Colin did a workshop with our Howardco team today 9 June 2022. The workshop was excellent and did what any good workshop should it gave me a fresh perspective and encouraged us to go away and think about the actions we need to take going forward. Thank you for a great workshop Colin

Colin and Lorraine facilitated our organisational strategic planning workshop. Over two days they both presented professionally and are very personable. Easy to ask questions and they led the team positively and kept everyone engaged the whole day. The planning pre workshop was of a high standard and relevant to our organisation. We can’t wait to have our first progress review. Thank you

I’m currently in the process of launching a start-up business and so fortunate to have the expertise and knowledge of Colin. He has helped shape and put me on right track on how to set up a business. So excited of what’s yet to come, I highly recommend Key Business Advisors.

What a great sales workshop/ training session we had with Colin and the KBA team. The chefs hat team has a key partner with KBA consulting with the team. I highly recommend anyone new or seasoned sales professional to have a chat with the team to develop your sales skills and insights. Never stop learning.10/10
