Blooming Supports

Last Friday, 29 May, marked Blooming Supports’ second workshop: Talk. Listen. Thrive. – A Workplace Communication Workshop. We welcomed 10 participants, all eager to strengthen their communication skills while connecting with others they may not have previously met.

Throughout the session, participants focused on developing more effective communication techniques. By the end of the workshop, many reported feeling more confident not only in expressing themselves, but also in actively listening, observing, and asking questions they may have previously felt unsure about.
The group engaged in meaningful discussions around clear versus confusing communication. Together, participants worked to refine unclear statements and questions, exploring ways to make them more effective. These conversations led to practical ideas for applying clearer communication in both workplace and educational settings.

One of the highlights of the workshop was a paired activity where participants sat back-to-back and took turns describing an image for their partner to draw. This exercise emphasised the importance of giving clear, explicit instructions and demonstrated just how easily misunderstandings can occur. It quickly became a crowd favourite—highly engaging and a great way to build connection within the group.
We’re excited to continue building on this momentum and look forward to our next workshop!

So grateful for an incredible weekend at the National Para Badminton Championships. I’m proud to have come away with silver in mixed doubles with my partner Remi Foster, and to have successfully defended our Ladies Doubles title with Arika Shetty to remain national champions. In my first national championships as SL3, I was also thrilled to win gold. Team WA finished as silver medallists after coming up against a very strong Victorian team, and I loved being part of such a supportive team environment. It was also so rewarding to be able to support other WA players on court as a coach throughout the weekend. A huge thank you to my sponsors @yonexbadminton_ausnz and @galleria.podiatry for your ongoing support. Thanks to @adamcyf_production for the photo’s A special shoutout to my sparring partner @kate.colley.20 and coach Mark Cunningham — I truly couldn’t have made this progress in SL3 without your belief and encouragement. Feeling very thankful for everyone who has been part of this journey 💛🏸 @badmintonwa @badmintonaustralia @blooming_supports

Hey all its Alana here the Business Development Manager at Blooming Supports. As a BDM its my job to get out and about to meet clients, connect with local businesses, and engage with the community.

This morning I spent some time in the northern suburbs — Joondalup to be precise — and stopped in to visit our wonderful friends at The Good Company & Co to check out their café and enjoy one of their beautiful coffees.

What a stunning little café! Great vibes, amazing coffee, and even better staff. You guys are doing an incredible job — keep it up!

This Friday, some of our team will be attending the Career Expo Event. While we are not exhibiting this year, we’ll be there and would love the opportunity to connect with attendees and local businesses.

If you would like to chat about employment support, getting job ready, or exploring career pathways, feel free to message or call our team to arrange a catch-up during the event.

We’d also love to connect with exhibitors and employers who are looking for staff opportunities. We are always interested in building partnerships that help match the right applicants with the right roles while supporting individuals throughout their employment journey.

We look forward to seeing everyone there!
