GREATEST LESSON(S) IN BUSINESS:
As a leader you can never communicate too often…just as you’re getting bored you may be getting through.
Without trust we have nothing, it’s the foundation of successful business.
Thank like a leader, act like a leader…everyone is watching, always!
REASON TO JOIN CUB:
CUB has been pivotal for me. I was fortunate to be introduced to CUB in 2015 and loved it from the first day. It was critical for me when I returned from INSEAD in early 2016 and decided to leave CBA. I used it as my launch pad to determine my next career move in July & August 2016 leading up to joining Porter Davis.
At the time most members were younger entrepreneurs and they really inspired me to take a risk and do something different.
I now attend CUB Melbourne most Wednesdays to create a “fire break” each week and am currently in Sydney enjoying the hospitality and support of the CUB team. CUB is a family, it provides business, professional and personal support. It is unique and very important to me, I’m a massive advocate.
