2021 Business Networking Breakfast
In April 2021, after getting out of our first series of Covid-19 lockdowns, the business community was able to come together for a memorable business breakfast hosted at 'The Line' in Footscray.
Guest speaker Chris Helder filled the room with energy, and left us with some great takeaways about 'Useful Beliefs'.
Below is a video from the April 2021 Business Networking Breakfast.
