This year's Administration Professionals Day in Dunedin was an event to remember, with a special keynote by our very own Bex Twemlow. As an influential figure in the business world locally, her speech captivated and inspired attendees, sharing her pathway (or roller coaster as she describes it).
The event, held at the wonderful Lantern Room in the Petri Dish, was attended by over 50 administrative professionals.
Bex Twemlow, known for her leadership of Firebrand, the many ventures she has supported, and her dedication to innovation and excellence in the business world, was the perfect choice. Her background includes an impressive array of accomplishments in the tech and marketing sectors, making her an ideal role model for those in attendance. In addition, she spoke freely about the challenges of growing a business and the lessons learnt along the way.
She talked about the importance of continuous learning, transparency, values alignment and embracing all life's good, bad and ugly.
The audience was clearly enthralled with the empowering message, with many leaving the event feeling motivated and inspired to tackle the challenges of their profession and shaping their own futures.
