Monique Filer will share her business knowledge. 135782

THE BEST of the best will share the secrets of their success at a series of business events starting next week.
Four CEOs from the manufacturing, retail and accounting sectors will be speaking to other local business leaders about their strategies for succeeding in a tough economic environment.
Speaking at the first event will be Silvio Marinelli, co-principal of Casey Cardinia Business of the Year winner Highview Accounting, Terry Steel from Jurgens Caravans, David Murphy from TRJ Engineering and Monique Filer from b.box for kids.
Each CEO will talk for 15-20 minutes outlining the key factors that have led to their success in business, at the end of which there will be a panel Q&A session so that further insights can be gleaned by those attending.
The event has been conceived by local businesspeople Simon Maselli from Metamorph, Ian Ash from OrgMent Business Solutions, Norm Davidson from the Bendigo Bank and Peter Smith from New Era Management, supported by Star News Group and Casey Cardinia Business.
Mr Maselli said the events were designed to enable other CEOs and business leaders learn from those who have made it, providing the chance to improve their own business performance more quickly.
He said many of the insights provided would demonstrate just how simple actions can lead to dramatic results and how these techniques can be applied to any business irrespective of size and domain.
As a further benefit, the event will be run as a not-for-profit with any surplus funds being donated to the 4Cs Foodbank.
The first session will be at the Cardinia Cultural Centre from 6pm to 8pm on Wednesday 18 March, at a cost of $25 per head (including tea, coffee and biscuits).
Registrations are essential to secure your place by going to http://solbr.eventbrite.com.au or attendees may pay on the night, subject to available capacity.
