Arrival, Welcome, Coffee and Networking

One-Minute Round 

This is where our guest speaker has a chance to address the breakfast attendees with a subject of their choice. We always aim to either educate, motivate and inspire during these talks.  We often have speakers talk on their specialist area, talking about perhaps challenges they have had in business or giving advice that benefits at all. We also regularly have inspirational speakers who have a story to tell, it might be about their life or about their career, or of course, both!

Guest Speaker

Once the speaker is finished there is time for questions. This is then followed by more networking before closing the meeting at 9:30 am.
