Chairman Ngaire Cannon introduced Liliane Grace author, speaker and writing coach.  A RYLA participant in 1987 Liliane gave us a personal insight of her own self development to the successful author which she is today.   Key to this and the underlying theme in her recent books was a display of powerful and action based positive thinking and behaviour.    It appeared that her experiences and lessens in life had been codified in her writings.   

Delightfully enthusiastic Liliane centred her address on her best-seller book "The Mastery Club" which although she stated had clearly been written for,  and to inspire, an adolescent audience to acquire life skills for self development and happiness,  has had an appeal and relevance to all age groups.   That was not a surprise. Listening to Liliane one was taken by her skill with language and capacity to deliver thought provoking messages simply.  

She described how contained within the "The Mastery Club" were ten principles for success and happiness.  Bound by the story of two contrasting young girls Natalie and Nina these concepts are developed.   Simple truths but impressively expressed, for example " Do what we love" , "Visualise end goal positions" and "Act"  are three pointers which we could all embrace.   Its the art of remembering these things which can be difficult for many.   The audience absorbed this and enjoyed the refreshing presentation
