Free personal development training, answered.

Yes. It is a free, pay-it-forward personal development event held online. Register, turn up and take the ideas with you. There is no sales pitch at the end, genuinely.
What happens in a GOAT PowerHour?
At the Christmas Special, five guests each get under fifteen minutes to give away one genuinely useful idea, built around Growth, Objectives, Action and Traction, so you leave with a step small enough to do this week.
Is it a personal development course?
No, and that is rather the point. It is one practical hour of free personal development training, not a long course or a subscription, designed to move one idea from your head into your Tuesday.
When is the next free personal development workshop?
The next PowerHour is the Christmas Special on Tuesday 1 December 2026 at 2pm Sydney time, online. New dates are listed on this page as soon as they are set.
