We're proud to announce that John Bredehoft will be speaking at the 2024 Volunteer Leadership Conference, taking place at the Hyatt Chesapeake Bay Resort in Cambridge, Maryland, from Nov. 1-3. In his session, John will dive into "Legal Hot Topics for Credit Unions in 2024," addressing key litigation risks and emerging issues that credit unions need to be aware of. From class action waivers and arbitration agreements to concerns from the U.S. Department of Justice, AI risks, and underwriting algorithms, this session is designed to help you stay ahead of potential legal pitfalls and avoid becoming next year’s legal headline. #CreditUnions #Leadership #LitigationRisks #AI #VLC2024 #RegulatoryUpdates #Compliance

Happy Monday! A week or so ago, I was judging the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards. Now the tables have turned, as I started this week by finalising my submissions for the 2024 ROAR Awards. When I first started my business, the idea of entering business awards made me feel ick. But now I see the value of entering them. They're definitely a great way to review the ups and downs I've had in my business. Do you enter business awards? #businessawards #businessowner

They weren't wrong when they said it's been a tough day for the judges! The quality of entries for the Circle2Success Regional Business Awards 2024 has been outstanding and it has been a difficult job to select just six finalists for each category. We look forward to the finalists being revealed shortly. Do follow Circle2Success Ltd to be the first to know. #EmergeDigital #C2S #C2SBusinessAwards #Growth

This week is a biggie. Lauren Clemett and I are off to Sydney for the announcement of the national winners in Telstra Best of Business Awards 2024. It's a big deal. 3 rounds submissions. Detailed, involved questions. 3 person panel interview. State finalists. State winners. National winners???? Eleven years ago, when I started writing Telstra submissions for others, I never thought I'd have a business I could enter into this award. It's such a rigorous process. And it was just me and one contractor pumping out a dozen awards over the year. Yet, here I am. Here we are. 1500 + award entries later, client business growth, speaking gigs, business deals, media spots, lots of cool success stories. Lauren and I've worked hard the past 4 years. It's been tough at times...a few bumpy moments. Who starts a new business in a pandemic? And then scales up through the craziness since. Head down, bum up. You don't see the frustration, heartache, stress and the many fuck ups. You see the pretty outfits and parties. When you have a service based business driven by constant deadlines, it's full on. We're still building the plane while we fly it. I'm in awe of what we've done. I always thought I'd just plod along, having a good life, but together, we've built something amazing, audacious. Two very different people who teamed up to create something that's had a bigger impact than just winning a few awards for people. Not giving up, learning from our mistakes and not being afraid to change if something doesn't work is our recipe for success. Fingers crossed.
