Our monthly networking event for people in business will be held at Zest on Hoskins Street - Thursday, 26th November at 6pm! Members and non-members welcome.   Beers and Business is always a great opportunity to network with others in the business community, to collaborate on ideas, and share challenges. Our guest speakers will be Jacqui Collins – Owner of Ariah Park hotel and Zest, as well as Kathy Hetherington – Owner of Quandary Coffee. They will talk us through the challenges and rewards of making the most of difficult circumstances such as Covid.   Jacqui and Kathy will be providing a taste testing of the coffee, mini espresso martinis, light refreshments as well as beer and wine.   Here is a bit about Jacqui and Kathy.   Jacqui “We purchased Ariah Park Hotel in January 2018 after leaving our very stressful and hectic Sydney lives for a quiet life together in the country. We got that terribly wrong!!!    We have never been busier. We have weathered the COVID storm, just managed to pay our bills and we decided to throw a coffee shop into the repertoire!!! Our move to the country experience has been extraordinary but not without challenge and difficulty on multiple levels.    We are very excited to change to Quandary Coffee in the near future at Zest and Ariah Park Hotel and to work with Kath to explore those future opportunities.”    Kathy “I launched Quandary Coffee earlier this month online, roasting coffee beans in my roaster all the way from Israel, in a custom built ‘shed’ at home in Quandary.   COVID has been life changing for me and for our family. Prior to March, I held a National role and travelled constantly with work. COVID happened and I got a taste of working from home and with no travel started to think about my future plans.   Quandary Coffee is a side hustle for me at present, giving me a chance to build a business locally with a high-quality product, roasted fresh right here at home.   Jacqui has been amazing in both using our product and promoting it. I am very grateful to be given the opportunity to support Zest and The Ariah Park Hotel with Quandary Coffee, giving locals the chance to experience fresh coffee, roasted locally, right here in Temora Shire.”   We look forward to seeing you there!

Learn how to create an environment that best suits you and your business by becoming aware of your subconscious filters and by raising your conscious awareness to them. Did you know: -- How we interpret the world is as unique as the fingerprint on the end of your finger. -- How you choose to interpret what is happening around you is your choice. -- We are bombarded with over 2 million bits of information every second. -- We can only process an average of 5 to 9 bits of information at anyone given moment. So then, what happens to the 1,999991 bits of information that are left over? This is what we will discover. Because there is a very high chance that some of these 1,999991 are crucial to your business and you are currently throwing them away. We will also discuss the impact of your Ego on your choices, thoughts, decisions and actions. This will assist you to recognise your Ego and the Ego of others, which can and does lead to terrible workplace cultures.
