Women In Business - Members Morning Tea

Tuesday 25 February 2014

The Women in Business WA word is getting out there! The recent morning tea event was abuzz with new and existing members and the word is spreading.

The word I’m referring to is that Women In Business WA is an inclusive, honest and energetic community that, under the leadership of WIBWA Director Jennifer Rose Bryant, strives to create connections and success amongst members.

Jennifer invited attendees to share about whatever interested them or to ask a question about something you are looking for within your business.

“With more than 130 Women In Business WA members I also encouraged you to actively participate on the WIBWA Leading Ladies Facebook wall, to ask a question or simply interact on some level,” Jennifer said.

“There are personal, business and financial benefits waiting for women interested in creating opportunities within WIBWA. You can host an event like this or, in liaison with me, create an event with a synergistic WIBWA member to highlight your business and provide a networking opportunity for members.”

At the Morning Tea event on Tuesday 25 February more than 20 members gathered at The Peasants Table in Mt Hawthorn for fab food and conversation. The group boasted four first-event members and it was great to hear from them about their business and passion.

As well as new members it was great to hear from existing members like Faye Bastow from Leederville / North Perth Physiotherapy Centre. Faye has been in the physio industry for more than 40 years and said something that really stuck with me – the human body hasn't changed but our expectations of what our body can and will do have changed. Faye also questioned why we service our cars regularly but not our bodies? A great question. What do you think?

I enjoy seeing Jacqueline Armstrong at WIBWA events – she always has a warm smile to share. Jackie, from New In Town, is a life saver for people moving to Perth from interstate or overseas. As the Principal it’s her job to find anything and everything from a home to move into to schools for the children to attend; packing up the house, moving house and even filling the fridge. From experience I can also tell you she is a ready and willing to provide advice and direction.

The lucky last lady we heard from at the morning tea was Kelly Prime from Kelly Prime. Kelly is an energetic and charismatic woman who teaches people how to speak with a focus on tone of voice and what comes out of our mouth. With a background in high school drama and English teaching, Kelly uses her skills and passion to assist people to play and grow within teams and establish the right belief systems in place to support them.

It was a pleasure to meet Kelly and other first-time WIBWA event attendees Diann Bates from Creative Fruition, Sharon Thomas from The Reconnection and Silvia Pace from the Silvia Pace Group|The Avenue Business & Property Marketing.

I look forward to seeing you at the next Women In Business WA event – for details about the next event click here.
