Tomorrow's Entrepreneurs Networked with the State's Most Successful Business Women
In past years, local students and budding entrepreneurs, including Sarah Green, Elise Hewlet, Zeenat Omar and Jessica Bryan from John Paul College, have benefited from the ‘Tomorrow’s Entrepreneurs’ program.
The program invited Year 11 students to attend the red-carpet gala ‘Telstra Business Woman of the Year Awards’.
They were joined by other students from across Queensland, including Girls Grammar, State High and the Good Shepherd Lutheran College.
The students were accompanied by JPC teachers, Mrs. Jodie McLaren and Ms. Amanda Gibson.
A chauffeur-driven limousine ensured the group arrived at the Awards in style!
‘Tomorrow’s Entrepreneurs’ has been organized by Nicole Lander, co-Founder of
Battlefield Sports and a previous winner of Telstra Queensland Business Women’s Awards (Innovation).
“As a past Telstra winner, I wanted to share the excitement and inspiration of the Awards with young students who could well be ‘tomorrow’s entrepreneurs’ – it is not every day that students get the opportunity to network with the most successful businesswomen in Queensland,†Ms. Lander said.
By attending the Telstra Business Woman of the Year Awards, the students will be exposed to successful businesswomen who come from all walks of life and who have achieved success in a wide variety of businesses.
The Award winners are unified by characteristics such as vision, leadership, integrity, and generosity.
The winning students were introduced to the latest and previous Business Woman of the Year winners.
The students gained insight into the importance of building a network of relationships; a network based on willingness to share, rather than an expectation to gain.
During one program the students also had the honor of meeting the Minister for Climate Change and Sustainability, the Hon Kate Jones MP [pictured above with Nicole and the students].
The students recognized that women can excel in business and that men and women can work together in the business world.
Nominations are now open for the 2020
Telstra Business Women’s Awards.
