Embracing changes & building morale in the work place - Lessons from one Paralympian on the imperative of a positive attitude
Guest Speaker - Don Elgin, Paralympic Champion
The business of keeping industry leaders and their workforces motivated is one thing that drives former Paralympic athlete Don Elgin. Born without the lower part of his left leg, Don has defied adversity his entire life, ultimately representing Australia in athletics events at four World Championships, three Paralympics Games and the Commonwealth Games.
Today, as a business owner himself Don tackles the challenges and changes that confront company leaders in lifting morale and motivating their workforces. “The importance and power of a positive attitude is something that needs constant attention,” says Don, founder and director of StarAmp Global, a boutique sports management agency.
Join us on July 17th to hear how Don approaches the challenge and opportunity of motivating teams for better business and the greater good. Book online today at www.melbournebusinssawards.com.au.
Don is living proof that with the right attitude, anything is possible. Having excelled in elite sport and mixed it with some of the biggest names in the film industry, he will take us behind the scenes on his extraordinary journey from little bush battler to world-beater!

"When you are powered by passion all things are possible"
Guest Speaker: Stacey Currie, Managing Director of Brand Print Australia
By rights, Stacey Currie should be dead, in jail or somewhere else. Anywhere but in business.
After a young life as a victim of domestic abuse, abandonment, teenage pregnancy, homelessness and worse, few would bank on her ever becoming anything other than another statistic blighting society’s conscience.
Instead, despite no prior business experience, Stacey defied her circumstances to transform a $100/month pay cheque into a multi-million dollar company. Join us at the September 5th Breakfast Event as Stacey shares her inspiring journey from extreme hopelessness to the highs of success building an award-winning print, packaging and signage business.
Networking from 6.30am, formal proceedings begin @ 7am.
