KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THE EVENT
From CEO to Mentors and entrepreneurs to change-makers, we had them all on Sunday. For those of you who missed our Masterclass here are some key takeaways from our panel of inspiring leaders:
+ Always have the conscience of giving back or including other communities in what you do.
+ When you fail, use that as a tool to see what went wrong and strive to do better.
+ Always be proud of your heritage & culture.
+ In order to have a successful business, ensure you have a diverse team that brings something different to the table.
+ Reading is the most efficient way to gain knowledge and overcome the inevitable adversities in business.

Moving Forward in a Diverse community!
On Wednesday the 27th of October , Our ebony and ivory masterclass platform was invited to collaborated with our friends at United Nations Association of Australia - Young Professionals Network & Indigenous Women in Mining and Resources Australia to co-host one of our most impactful events of the year - we tackled and addressed Diversity, Equity< wellbeing, & Inclusion and gave young professionals actionable advice to build a better system. while raising much needed funds for MSWA (Multiple sclerosis).
Our incredible panelists shared raw, brutally honest and eye-opening accounts of their experiences – no corporate PR speak, no “going around” the questions – real challenges, real experiences and actionable insights for creating a system designed for all, rather than a select few. With more than 90 people listening in and participating in the conversation, We are super excited to see our next generation of leaders take on D, E & I with confidence and purpose. Thanks to our amazing sponsors, all proceeds from our sell-out event were donated to MSWA as part of our Central Park Plunge campaign done by our friends at United Nations Association of Australia - Young Professionals Network Rhiannon and Jason . As a result, we were able to raise a massive $1,627.50, which has taken the fundraising tally to $6,080 including what has so far been raised by Rhiannon and Jason!!!!! These funds will go a long way in helping MSWA deliver their services to people living with neurological conditions. You can still double this amount before next Sunday when Rhiannon and Jason abseil from Central Park Tower. If you can make a donation, please do. Donate here >>> https://lnkd.in/gMfMuk36
