What’s the story behind your business?

Sally set up Creating Encores as it combined all the passionate effective parts of her vast international career.

What was your first job?

As a flautist in the original show of Jesus Christ Superstar in Sydney. I also was a recording artist backing many shows and movies. This job led to me staring in an ABC movie on the life of a famous Australian conductor Sir Bernard Heinze.

When you decided to start your own business, what was your big “why”?

To be able to help executive women not stay stuck and alone. To see that they have the potential to leverage their talent and move out of fear and self doubt towards new possibilities. ( this came from the life of a performer where change is around every day)

What have you had to give up?

My personal time. As I work on Creating Encores most days. And financially have put my own funds into the business which has meant that I have had to cut back on some of the luxury parts to my life. High quality hotels, fashion, wine and dining out. However as my business grows I am getting this fabulous life back again . Worth while.

Your proudest achievement to date?

My first job after leaving university, as principal flute in the band of Jesus Christ Superstar.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?

Get out of Christchurch New Zealand as a young musician and study in Australia. My life moved to another level, I then was able to start a career, short lived as it was in the music profession globally.
