Press Release Summary: The recent deaths of two high-profile television presenters
dispels the myth that work success will bring happiness in all aspects of our life,
says people optimization and business improvement specialist Tabitha Wellman.


Press Release Body: Perth, Australia, December 07, 2007---In both cases, the deaths
of Charmaine Dragun and Chris Mainwairing highlighted the difference between the
personal view of their lives and that of public perception.

"It's not uncommon that once people achieve success, they then suffer depression,
anxiety and a general state of unhealthiness. Society tells us that when you achieve
success, happiness will follow. But when they get there, some people feel that it's
anything but happy." says Tabitha Wellman.

Tabitha Wellman, CEO of Innova Business Momentum, knows of this first hand. After
reaching success in her business life, at the age of 29 she suddenly realized that
she was desperately unhappy.

"I was walking down the street one day and realized that my life was grey and
without color. It looked fabulous from the outside looking in. I had all the
trappings of what success was, but from where I was I felt nothing. I was just a
robot going through the motions of life" she says.

This was the beginnings of a new career in business improvement where she developed
growth programs to help organizations grow with a clear focus on their employee's
mental and emotional health and wellbeing.

"The organizations I work with realize that everything starts from understanding
their people and how they can best support and manage them. As a result, they get
the best from their people," she comments.

Using a personality profiling tool called the Enneagram, Tabitha trained with world
renowned authorities, Don Riso and Russ Hudson, in the USA. The Enneagram is used by
progressive US companies including NASA, the CIA, FBI and Toyota to assist their
employees to perform at levels that are aligned with the integration of their
personality type.

The Enneagram is a powerful personal transformation tool that combines psychological
insights with core belief systems to help understand the true self. It also outlines
a clear development process that provides choices about changing their behavior.

Unlike other psychometric tests like Myers Briggs and DISC, the Enneagram focuses on
understanding the core drivers and motivators of a person's behavior rather than
just describing what people do in certain circumstances.

"Working with the Enneagram for the past nine years has made me realize that many
people are working in roles that keep them in a dysfunctional state and therefore
unhappy. This doesn't mean that they should give up their jobs, it just means that
with some management and personal awareness they could potentially become much
happier and more productive in their lives and for their company", says Tabitha
Wellman.

The Enneagram is particularly valuable for recruiting the right people to the right
role, then tailoring the management of that person to get the best from them, rather
than unwittingly managing them in a way that creates anxiety, stress and
unhappiness.

Talking about the demand for her services Tabitha comments, "I remember five years
ago saying to Russ Hudson that I felt compelled to help people, but that I would
need to leave the corporate world. He told me not to burn my suit just yet. And now
I know why."
