This weeks meeting was laughs all round with Andrew delivering our education piece, then Kaid delivering a very puntastic pitch; both leaving the room in stitches.

Rightfully so, Kaid took out the golden mic for his humorous pitch.

Kate Rafton from Rafton Family Lawyers was our feature presenter this week. Kate shared her experience surrounding family law, including the staggering statistics in Australia around women and children violence.

The speaker prize draw saw Kaid winning, 2 from 2 is quite impressive! Well done Kaid.

This week's Networking Tip: The Fortune Is in the Follow-Up

When you meet someone, that's just the beginning. A quick message, coffee catch-up, or introduction can turn a brief conversation into a valuable long-term relationship. Consistent follow-up keeps you top of mind and demonstrates professionalism, making it easier for others to refer opportunities your way.

This week, we challenge you to follow up with one new connection via one of the following:
- Social media connection
- Email introduction
- Phone call to introduce yourself

Your ideal outcome? Teams or in person catch up.
