Speaking with my new RedBalloon colleague Philippa Lowe this week, she has joined the business to support the communications efforts. She asked me the obvious question ”What do you do in a week?” I mentioned what I get up to and she responded “well if I’m interested in what you are doing other people might be curious about your life as a professional speaker and entrepreneur.”
As a result I’m sharing what I am doing for the week. (Of course some weeks are more interesting than others… but even when nothing is on I am still reading, learning or meeting people.)
Well I thought I would give it a go. (Some would say I’m all over the show like a mad woman’s breakfast..)
Monday – All Day judging session on the Voiceless Grants Committee
Tuesday – Meet with executives of Big W – to launch the RedBalloon Father’s Day range in-store
Wednesday – Breakfast with Audette Exel – The most amazing business woman – Founder of Isis and the Isis Foundation
Thursday – Melbourne for a Business Round table meeting
Friday – Lunch with 550 – On a panel at the sold out Business Chicks Luncheon in Melbourne – Fellow speakers, Janine Allis founder of Boost Juice, and Kristina Karlson founder – Kikki-K – We three retailers all have much in common – all of us also work with our partners.
Not a overly busy week – but plenty of variety….
Imagine running a business based on fun - that's what I decided to try when I left a very serious corporate career in marketing to set up RedBalloon...
