New connections formed at scenic Wamuran property
PEOPLE from a range of businesses and industries descended at a picturesque property in Wamuran on Wednesday of last week as part of a new networking group.
Attendees travelled from as far as Caboolture, D’Aguilar, Woodford, North Lakes and Redcliffe, with one participant visiting from Switzerland.
Fields of work among the guests included textile designer, nutritional health coach, financial advisor, Human Resources (HR) software developer, Western Herbal Medicine practitioner, teacher, children’s therapist, counsellor and more.
Federal Member for Longman, Terry Young, also attended.
Proceedings started with attendees introducing themselves and their field of work, before learning about each other through informal discussions while plenty of business cards were handed around.
Before leaving, each person received a complimentary swag bag containing discount offers and fun promotional items kindly donated from Moreton Bay businesses.
Event host Karen Ahl, who runs local web design agency Web-Sta Web Design, staged her first networking event in January. Last week’s event was the third of its kind.
Some of last week’s guests had attended one of the two previous networking events, at the same location.
Karen said the purpose of the “collaborative event” was to foster the exchange of “valuable feedback, new ideas and strategies that can help you grow your business”.
Karen said this went beyond networking, while there were many benefits of being a part of a mastermind group including peer support and accountability, networking and connections, knowledge sharing, problem-solving and brainstorming, and personal and professional growth.
Karen’s next event will be a brunch on October 25.
