Two successful businesswomen will share their stories at a breakfast in Springvale.
The SEBN Showcasing Women breakfast on Friday 7 October will feature Yassmin Abdel-Magied and Georgia Beattie as guest speakers.
Ms Abdel-Magied is a writer, mechanical engineer, Youth Without Borders founder, social advocate, TED speaker, media commentator, Young Australian of the Year 2015 finalist, and Young Queenslander of the Year 2010 and 2015.
She was an inaugural Australian Financial Review and Westpac 100 Women of Influence winner, an InStyle cultural leader and a Marie Claire woman of the future.
“Look beyond your initial perceptions and open doors to experience new ways of supporting others,” she said.
Ms Beattie founded Lupe Wines and is now the CEO of Start Up Victoria, the largest entrepreneurship group in Victoria.
She’s an entrepreneur, meditator and social enterprise enthusiast.
“The biggest thing I have learnt is never to assume anything… you need to consider all possible outcomes and strategise appropriately,” she said.
Highways in the corner of Princes Highway and Corrigan Road, Springvale, will host the event from 7am to 9am.
Donations will be collected on the day to support Breast Cancer Awareness month.
