City of Marion

Its really powerful when real stories are shared and I was fortunate to facilitate a conversation on Friday where experiences were normalised, connections made and a lot of inspiration thrown into the mix.

A brilliant panel at the City of Marion Women in Business showcase event on Friday.

Melanie Bird shared about becoming a business owner unexpectedly and how to learning business, navigating the legacy and stepping into a new phase for LRB Legal.

Megan from Esteem Active spoke about how she had planned to open the studio for quite sometime before taking the plunge, some of the logistics in making it happen and the importance of looking after your body (its so much more than the exercise)

And Maggie Murray inspired us with the vision of Spixal where her and her sister have gone from selling others products to creating their own – and we got a sneak peek of these awesome handbags.

Thanks to Marissa Lindsay, Carly Thompson-Barry ACEcD, Daniel Adams and the City of Marion team for creating a wonderful conclusion to Business showcase week – the connections in the room, acknowledging the importance of business and sharing time together was very special for all in the room.
