Key takeaways included the importance of automating processes before fully integrating AI, training staff effectively, and continually experimenting with AI tools. Geoff reminded us that while the potential of AI is vast, success depends on the right strategy and approach.

A fun and creative session, I learnt a lot about myself and others in the room.

It’s not often a 1 day event can make a life changing difference. Today was one of those and I am so grateful to have the EO community around me to not only share it, but to support each other during such an emotional experience. Simply amazing.
Thank you to Walid for his guidance and expertise, as well as to all EO Perth Members, Accelerators and Sponsors who participated wholeheartedly.

Major appreciation to Ben Cousins for the in-depth insight, such a privilege.

Ben talked fondly about how it was his return to a local football club that helped him start the process of rebuilding the life he is living now.

What a phenomenal story and keynote. His experiences and lessons are second to none. What an honour it was for our chapter to have him share his stories. Truly Inspirational.

In 2011, Steve, a tourist on a motorcycle, was abducted in North Africa, Mali.

With no contact with his family or the outside world, he had to take control of himself, step up and adapt mentally and physically.a
With Glen Bartlett
You only have one reputation, never deviate from your values.

Great event. What an incredible amount of passion Basil has and Jim was a great interviewer.

With Vinh Giang
Well done to all involved. Great effort and excellent exhibition of what sets EO apart from any other business & personal development organisations.
Probably one of the best events of my life. Lots of amazing content and excellent entertainment.
There are common threads between the worlds of business and magic. Timing, Practice, Skills, Connection ., Persuasion, Perspective and Influence. Who knew the mesmerizing mysterious art form that is Magic could compel us to shift perspectives to find the solutions that set success in motion. But that’s what Vinh taught us, an amazing turnout and a once in a lifetime experience for our members and spouses.
With Dr Arne Rubenstein
“Concept was unreal, perfect fit for EO. Arne seemed like an inspiring human”
Two sessions, one business focused for our members and their business partners and one family focused for member families including kids 12+. Practical, interactive sessions backed up by theory, around communicating with our staff and growing kids through the difficult teenage years. We learnt to share personal stories rather than lecture, listen more and do activities we both enjoy together to stay connected. Some great exercises were learnt on the day.
With Sandra Di Girolamo – Thinkbox Media
