The Icehouse Business Owner Program
The real success stories often come from persistent effort and resilience rather than just talent or luck. When you have been working IN the business it is then time to work ON the business and you often wonder “What’s next?
Yesterday Leeann graduated from The Icehouse Business Owner Programme which she attended over the past couple of months. This opportunity provided a unique learning environment for owners of Southland businesses to connect, learn, support, and create better businesses.
A special thanks to Jamie Brock for being a fantastic mentor. A huge thank you to Joanne O’Connor and her team at Southland Business Chamber for organising the workshops. A special mention to the team Great South for the opportunity.
What a wonderful idea of a gift Joanne, a ‘Kowhai’ tree from the team at The Plant Store. Just like the Kowhai, businesses require continuous care and attention to grow fully and develop the resilience needed for lasting success.
