The latest Business Excellence Network (BEN) Breakfast held at Regatta on Tuesday 14 October, was a packed-out success on a soggy morning! The North Harbour Club and sponsors welcomed guest speaker, Diane Foreman, one of New Zealand's most successful entrepreneurs. Diane spoke with honesty and clarity about her incredible success story so far, from leaving Takapuna Grammar School at 15 and single motherhood at age 22, to building a global business empire. With her roots firmly on the North Shore, it was a pleasure to hear how Diane, as a grassroots local lass, has built her businesses over the years; her engaging talk was an inspiration for the 120+ guests who attended. Many local business owners benefited from Diane sharing her candid insights and unflinching advice on what, in her opinion, makes a business successful.
