It’s time for a heart to heart with Nicky Johnston to gain valuable insights into her business success and how her books help their readers. This amazing author and illustrator of children’s books will be speaking at the International Women’s Day Lunch presented by Frankston Business Network.

With limited seats, you don’t want to miss your chance to listen to this passionate businesswoman and creatively inclined mum of four boys discuss how her books help children cope with childhood arthritis, grief, dementia and anxiety. Nicky’s books include Go Away Mr Worrythoughts (which has been made into a play), Happythoughts Are Everywhere, Actually I Can and The Worst Pain In The World.

She’s also a primary educator, illustrator representative for the annual author/illustrator KIDLITVIC Meet the Publishers Conference and creative director for the 52 Week Illustrator Challenge.

Mornington Peninsula Magazine and Frankly Frankston Magazine are excited to be co-sponsors of this lunch to help celebrate International Women’s Day, along with Miss Velvet, Bayside Shopping Centre, The Sports Injury Clinic, Frankston Arts Centre, Commonwealth Bank, Black Tie Catering and Braggins & Co. This lunch will raise much-needed money for Dress for Success Mornington Peninsula, an international not-for-profit organisation that empowers women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire and the developmental tools to help women thrive in their work life.
