Work-Life Balance

Work-Life Balance

Wed, Feb 25, 3:00 AM
From Business & Beyond

What else says work-life balance than a midweek, midday time out? What is work-life balance to you? To me, it is about awareness and being present in the moment, regardless of whether it's going through my emails, or attending to life admin chores. And, of course, enjoying the flexibility of early afternoon socialising to work on the business, rather than in it. Whether you're a small business owner, entrepreneur, or working professional, come share your journey and hear from others. You never know what you might learn (or relearn!). Don't miss this opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and elevate your work-life balance game!

Pizza networking night

Pizza networking night

Sun, Feb 22, 7:00 AM
From Girls Who Boss - Melbourne
4.8

Join us for a pizza networking night at Pino Pinelli’s - known for their wood fired pizzas. This will be an inclusive, low key night full of community, and an amazing opportunity to meet new friends. At its core, Girls Who Boss is built on a simple and well-supported idea: *When women have access to strong, intentional support networks, they are better positioned to thrive - professionally, creatively, and personally.* Networks influence far more than career progression. They shape how women access information, perspective, opportunity, and confidence across many areas of life. These connections often become places where we test ideas, refine values, learn from one another’s decisions, and make sense of complex seasons - whether you’re creating a business, chasing your career dreams, or working on personal development, this is the space for you. We can’t wait to see you there.
