Creating on-purpose growth, not only
for the network but for the members
as well. I am passionate about being
the voice for women in business, and
as a small business owner myself, I
know the tribulations and triumphs of
being in business. I also recognise and
understand the power of connection
and collaboration.
So I say - find your Balcony People and
connect with your Crew. Your Crew are
the like-minded people who together
will connect and collaborate. Which in
turn will assist you to grow and succeed
in business. As women we want to see
each other be successful. If we trust
you, referrals will happen tenfold.

Business ownership is challenging, it takes
confidence, a fighting spirit and passion to
develop and succeed as an entrepreneur.
Women’s Network Australia has always
challenged what some consider to be “the norm”.
we give you the opportunity to think outside the
box and face adversity and challenges.
As you know, Small businesses are the
backbone of our economy. In particular,
Brisbane City Council is committed to
building Australia's most small business-
friendly city and as the largest city council in
Australia, Our Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner
recognises this, and they are leading the way
for small business.
Being a mother, a daughter, a wife or an
active member of the community shows
strong leadership and thoughtfulness when
leading a crew.
Strong leadership and making significant
decisions – quickly are surmountable in
the day to day running of a CEO office.
Determination and to stick by decisions
whilst faced with opposition and opinions
can be tricky.
