Great handbag – don’t forget your Briefcase – presentation to CPA group, Sydney CBD
Thank you, Antoinette Colbran for such wonderful presentation yesterday (7.6.2018) at the CPA Directors Discussion Group. Thanks to CPA Australia for their sponsorship and special thanks to Mark Scriven & Sam Traurig whose support made it an absolute pleasure to organise this event. I also enjoyed the conversations that arose from the lively Q &A session that followed the presentation – thank you to everyone who attended. Andrew Jetson, Samantha Challinor, Sveta Shao FCPA CA, Rupen Malouf CPA, Min Wu, and many other CPAs, directors and executive managers. For me, the key learnings were: – Building #resilience & other skill sets is very important to survive adversity. – Women should be actively involved in the financial aspects of a #family business, as well as in general family #finances, from the outset. – #Accountants need to consider the ethics of any given complex matter from all angles and recognise when the challenges involved are beyond their expertise. Here are few slides with yesterday’s photo & details of the next two events in August and October with Craig Rispin CSP and Julie Garland McLellan – Boardroom Expert. I will post details of each event on Eventbrite. Look forward to seeing you again soon!

THE MILLENNIAL MOVEMENT
The lessons about investing cannot come too soon for our Millennials.. I have found that when talking to high schools about speaking to students, which I am now doing, that the year most pressed for time, but in most urgent need therefore, are the year 12’s and their ‘wellbeing’ teachers are telling me just that. This advice comes at exactly the right time for the year 12’s – even though most of them will go on to tertiary education and be without a comfortable existence for some years until they eventually enter the workforce in a full time capacity. Yes I can see that – but show me a school leaver who doesn’t understand the need to work whilst studying in order to live that lifestyle of socialising – all takes money – whatever the choices they make.
With pride….
I think today, IWD 2018 I feel proud to have had my book published!
“Great Handbag – don’t forget your Briefcase” is a personal story. A story about a radical change in financial circumstances caused by a change in the related law. businesses come and go through mismanagement, inactivity, change of heart – acquisition – but to have ‘big brother’ intervene and pull the rug from under you (so to speak) is shocking! Enjoy the book – can be found on the website.
