Recently, I was asked to present a session at a professional development training day for a respected firm of local solicitors. Almost 20 solicitors, conveyancers and legal support staff were in attendance as the day got underway to not only help the team achieve some of their compulsory CLE points, but also to provide the opportunity for people from different offices to get together.

A couple of weeks back, our new Federal Government brought down their first budget. They didn’t need to as the last Budget was handed down in March of this year, so, in effect, we’re mid-cycle.

Following on from last week, one of the main purposes for my recent trip to Canada was the chance to catch up with my fellow members of SMEAGMG – the Small & Medium Enterprise Advisers Global Mastermind Group. Seven of us from three countries and six cities last met in person in Whistler, British Columbia in October 2019.

My wife and I have just returned from a fabulous 10 days in Canada – part business and part leisure. After more than three years, it was great to be back overseas, taking in different scenery, enjoying different food and wine and, more than anything, engaging with different people from different cultures and backgrounds.
