March 2026
Financing for Growth: Getting Capital-Ready (Before You Need It)
Noon, Thursday 26 March 2026 (AEDT)
Growth often stalls not because opportunity is lacking, but because businesses aren’t financially ready to act when it appears. This session focuses on the practical realities of financing growth – how lenders think, what strengthens your position, and common mistakes that can limit access to capital.
This session is not about complex financial theory. It’s about getting the fundamentals right so funding becomes an enabler, not a bottleneck.
You’ll learn:
- What banks and financiers typically look for.
- How to prepare your business before seeking funding.
- Common financing traps that constrain growth.
- How to match the right type of finance to the right growth decision.

Leading for Growth: Letting Go Without Losing Control
Noon, Thursday 7 May 2026 (AEST)
Many businesses hit a ceiling not because of market conditions, but because leadership hasn’t evolved at the same pace as the business. As teams grow and complexity increases, leadership approaches must shift.
This session explores how decision-making, delegation, accountability and trust need to change as businesses scale.
You’ll learn:
- How leadership behaviours must evolve as your business grows.
- Practical ways to delegate without things falling apart.
- Simple decision frameworks that reduce reliance on the founder.

You’ll learn:
- When to hire – and when not to.
- How to define roles that support growth.
- Early warning signs that a role or structure isn’t working.

Ideal Customers for Growth: Choosing Who You Grow With
Noon, Thursday 6 August 2026 (AEST)
Not all growth is good growth. Many businesses become stretched, less profitable or operationally fragile by chasing the wrong customers.
This session helps business owners identify which customers genuinely support sustainable growth – and which quietly erode margin, capacity and culture.
You’ll learn:
- How to define and recognise your ideal customers.
- Why saying “yes” to everything limits growth.
- How customer mix affects margin, cash flow and team stress.
- Practical ways to reshape your target customer base over time.

Marketing and Sales for Growth: Turning Effort into Revenue
Noon, Thursday 3 September 2026 (AEST)
Marketing and sales often consume time and money without clear returns. This session focuses on building simple, disciplined marketing and sales systems that convert effort into revenue – without needing large teams or complex tools.
The emphasis is on alignment, follow-up and making better use of what you already have.
You’ll learn:
- How to align marketing activity with actual sales outcomes.
- Simple pipeline and follow-up disciplines that lift conversion.
- How to improve results using existing resources.

The focus is on identifying pressure points early, before growth magnifies them.
You’ll learn:
- How to test whether your business model can scale.
- Where margins typically break under growth.
- Practical adjustments that improve resilience and profitability.
