Last year we conducted a hugely popular webinar series with a focus on wellbeing and ways to respond personally and professionally to current conditions facing rural and regional Queensland.
This was a FREE program open to everyone – men, women, children, families and anyone in business.
It was such an amazingly successful event we are bringing it back again!
Here’s what the Rising Beyond Now cohort enjoyed last year!

About Joy McClymont from Off the Track Training
Joy McClymont is an inspirational, down to earth Aussie outback mum of 4 who is dedicated to providing access to top level fitness, nutrition and motivational strategies for people in any location including rural, regional and remote Australia. Whether they are somewhere in the middle of nowhere or a stay at home parent in an inner city suburb, Joy provides an opportunity for them to feel supported, connected and motivated. Through her company ‘Off the Track Training’, Joy’s programs are providing simple, fun and achievable solutions for health and wellbeing that her clients absolutely love.
Having personally experienced the isolation of being a young mum wanting to regain her own health and with no gyms, running groups, aerobics classes or fancy exercise equipment around her, Joy began to think outside of the box, learning how to integrate fitness into everyday life with only that which is already available: a rock, a tree stump, a step, a can of beans or nothing at all but a wall and a floor! Joy helps us understand that great health is possible no matter where people live or what their beginning fitness level is – and – that it’s easier than people think!
Through her role as a Personal Trainer and Health and Fitness Motivator, Joy has also helped many people tackle chronic disease, improve self-image and develop a positive ‘can do’ attitude. Clients are also reporting benefits in other areas of their lives including positive impacts on personal relationships, family, work and even in business.
As well as inspiring people in health and fitness, Joy also runs a large rural sheep and cattle property with her husband and is raising and home schooling four young children! Her background includes primary school teaching, being the school principal, achieving the Former Half and Ironman Triathlon in France, Australia & Hawaii, endurance mountain bike riding and trekking and winning the QRRRWN 2015 Strong Women Leaders Award in Business, and more recently as Fitness Australia’s Active Achiever for 2016, as well as various other health and fitness training.
Joy is on a mission to build a society where being in fantastic health is the norm and is recognized as the most critical factor in living a quality life.

Your Network is Support! – Mapping Your Network Exercise
7:00 pm Tuesday 31 August 2021
Julia Spicer
Julia Spicer is the founder of Engage & Create Consulting and is a passionate and engaging presenter who during the webinar will discuss the importance of networks for life, support and business.
A note on networking… Networking does not have to be a scary thing! It is a great way to collaborate and form good partnerships. A network can provide Information, Referrals, Support, greater Access to resources and opportunities for Collaboration. Think about your current networks for a moment, and ask yourself these questions:
- Are there any gaps?
- Do these networks link to my goals / priorities?
- How can I expand my networks?
- How am I using them?
- Do I need to ‘ditch’ any?
- Who is there for you?
- What is your reach and theirs?
- When you think about networking, what springs to mind?
- If someone comes to you for support, what do you do?
- What do you need support with at the moment? How does anyone know?

Business & Self – Time Management Mini-masterclass
7:00 pm Tuesday 7 September 2021
Rebecca (Bec) Fing
Throughout this session, Bec Fing from House Paddock Training and Consulting will present her tried and true secrets to having your cake and eating it too.
She believes there are 4 key steps to effective managing your time which are:
- Clarity of direction – where are you going and why?
- Goal setting, planning and strategy
- Time management and efficiency
- Execution – habits, rituals, mindset and excuses!
About Bec Fing
Rebecca Fing is the Founder and Managing Director of House Paddock Training and Consulting based in Goondiwindi. A wife, mum, a susie-homemaker-wanna-be-gardener, side hustler and country girl through and through.
Bec established House Paddock in 2005 and has since been helping industries, groups, businesses and individuals manage their business, their people, their projects, their safety and most importantly… themselves! This has been through the training and workshop delivery, one on one coaching and mentoring, project management and facilitation.
Helping business owners, managers and up-and-comers be more personally effective – ie get their shit together – is a huge priority for Bec. This interest came from the acknowledgement that one of the barriers to personal and business growth and effectiveness was the actual conduct of the people running the show! Actually planning for outcomes and having the tools and habits to get the job done! Bec has helped over 400 people improve their time management and personal effectiveness through workshops and coaching and truly believes that we really can “have it all”… if we have the know-how, a plan and put it into action.
