Last night I celebrated Chinese New Year at the Formosa restaurant in Nunawading with MCEI (Marketing and Communication Executives International). The speaker was Bev Ryan founder and editor of "Honestly Woman" who was the winner of last year's MCEI Women in Business award. It was facinating to hear the story of how Bev gathered a team of women - many of whom had never sailed before - and took part in the 2007 Brisbane to Gladstone yacht race. AND won their division.
Why did they do it? Networking at its best - a real WIN-WIN-WIN, and those of you who know me will know how obsessive I am about the 3 WINs triangle. The plan was to raise publicity for the launch of Bev's new magazine, and raise awareness for Redkite, the charity for children with cancer. The third WIN - definitely a WIN for clients of both Redkite, some of the children and their families got involved with the race, and clients of Honestly Woman a number of whom sponsored the race. Two of them actually got to go along for the ride!.
