It was during our Finals Week of the RSL Girl in a Million. For those of you not familiar with GIM, it was an opportunity for young females to raise much needed funds for war veterans and for the finalists, to participate in Finals Week which saw many meetings and adventures, all while being judged on our deportment, etiquette, life skills and interactions with the community.
A highlight was tea with Ms Bryce, as the then Governor of Queensland. It was one of her last functions hosted at Government House in Paddington. As it was a formal event, we had to wear a hat (I chose felt as it was winter) and the girls and I were on our best behaviour to ensure when stirring our tea we didn't "clunk" the spoon on the teacup!
Ms Bryce was an exceptional host and shared many stories. I loved how she was able to find a way to relate to each and everyone of us in a different way. For me, we spoke about politics and shoes - as you do!
I see her as a fantastic role model and she made a positive impact on my life. Whenever I look at her, I see a picture of a lady. I think this is a lost art in the younger generations, including mine. Deportment and etiquette go a long way.
For any young career girl, I recommend deportment and etiquette lessons. In Brisbane, June Daly Watkins offers informative courses on personal development.
