B Savvy
Tuesday 26 August saw another gathering of the members of Connect Networking, this time at Jackson’s & Co.
Owner of the venue, Brian Taylor, welcomed everyone and gave a brief history of the building. While twelve months of research uncovered a wealth of information about the history of the building, the refurb works themselves revealed some gems including the cathedral ceiling we’d all been admiring in the function room and long lost letters and photos harking back to the hotel’s earlier times. Brian’s passion for the place reminded us that it’s really good for you to do what you love.
Alana Cornwell provided members with a rundown of the Leadership Ballarat & Western Region Leadership Forum program, which is currently seeking participants for its 2015 program. Further details are available from http://www.lbwr.org; any Connect Networking members interested in learning more can attend an information session from 5 till 6 pm on 9 September at the Ballarat North Football Club.
After a light lunch, members were guided through just a few of the myriad of apps/programs that, when applied well, can add to our business savvy.
Following our brief online survey to discover members’ interests, IT Systems Administrator from Harwood Andrews law firm, Dana Lunn, gave a presentation focused on communication tools and file storage – some things we use daily and think we know, but actually don’t fully utilise, and others that were new. The potential of various apps was immediately apparent to participants and everyone went back to their offices with a similar thought “I’ll give that a go - I think it will help me to …”.
Using the Presi presentation app featured at a previous event, Dana’s enthusiasm for her topic, and the knowledge gained by all participants, made for another great Connect Networking event.
Dana has kindly provided details of the items covered in her presentation. Go to http://goo.gl/twg1HO if you want to B savvy!
