Bigger Than Beauty: Business Leaders Summit

Sydney International Spa & Beauty Expo is proud to present its second annual Business Leaders Summit on 24 August 2013.

Mike Walsh

 

This full day summit offers a high profile agenda of keynote speakers – all leaders in their individual fields – with valuable insights that will inspire and motivate Australia’s leading salon and spa owners.

Based around the theme, Bigger than Beauty, the Summit aims to help create an understanding of the full scope and potential of businesses in this ever-changing industry – equipping owners with the knowledge and skill set to elevate their performance to the next level.

It will challenge delegates to test new waters and nurture what they have already created. Using the tools of strategic thinking and a shift in perspective, it will encourage them not to re-invent, but build on their success, doing what they’ve always done but better, faster and smarter.
