Why Schmoozing is Important & Launch of Project 18 the wellbeing collective

Perhaps you would like to follow you dreams, make an impact or build something of lasting benefit.

Starting a business can be hard enough so could you ever see yourself developing multiple businesses at the same time? How do you find the time, motivation, energy, and support to work on the new venture or even a side hustle alongside your main business or job?

If you’re looking to go from idea to implementation, startup to scaleup and perhaps have an ambition to manage multiple businesses, hear how you can do it without losing your mind.

Speakers include:

• Mayor, officiates the launch, shares her passion for the Port and tells us what it means to build vibrant communities.
• Steven Kidd, shares his tips on building and managing multiple businesses and explains why schmoozing is key to success.
• Jodie Evans, will share how schmoozing took her vision from future to now.

Founded by Jodie Evans, Project 18 is an inclusive space that is committed to embracing acceptance and diversity. It provides a broad range of supports, services and workshops delivered by practitioners from a variety of disciplines.

Project 18 was established to provide something a bit different in recognition of the changing needs of the population of the Port.

Practitioners have a shared set of values and believe in working together to improve the wellbeing of others whilst supporting and learning from each other in a way that reflects the thriving community we wish to cultivate.

Cohosted by Jodie Evans, Founder, Project 18 and Wendy Perry, Entrepreneurship Facilitator, Switch Start Scale & MD @Workforce BluePrint, you’ll enjoy bubbles, beer, wine and soft drinks, schmoozing (networking) and nibbles in the newly opened Project 18 wellbeing collective space.

Video footage, photos and social media posts will be shared on the night and Entrepreneurship Facilitators are funded by the Australian Government with the initiative managed by the Department of Employment, Skills, Family and Small Business.
