About this event
Are you thinking about or have started a business? It can be hard to stay motivated and sometimes you just need a dose of inspiration and encouragement to stay on track.
Join us for our first Work My Own Way meetup, where we’ll be hearing from a panel of incredible local entrepreneurs about their business, how they got started and where they’re heading next. Joining us on our panel will be:
- Shaun Little - The Window Guy. Shaun wanted a job that was not only flexible, but that helped him develop key social skills that he felt he needed to succeed in business. He's been self employed for over 15 years and become expert at how to self motivate and achieve goals, no matter how ambitious they might seem.
- Julie Grant - Kenney's Flowers. Julie has always loved flowers and what they represent and had the opportunity 10 years ago to turn her passion into a business. She's become a one-stop-shop handling all aspects of the business including accounts, customer service, inventory, social media, and recent digital transformation into online sales.
- Kerryn Vaughan - Girls With Hammers. Kerryn is a powerhouse when it comes to supporting women. She started Girls with Hammers in 2018 with the aim of helping women realise their own power and strength through mentoring, workshops and books.
Following the panel discussions, we’ll be opening the night up to networking where you can let your hair down and mingle with like-minded entrepreneurs and business supporters.
