SATURDAY 17 OCTOBER
For the last 5+ years, we have hosted a business breakfast with Paul Manwaring, and we have had so many significant times together in this format.
There has been a sense of a changing season, and with the new season, we feel it is time for something new in our time with Paul as well. Something better, something bigger. It is time for upgrades!
We are so excited to invite you to join us for our first-ever Business Unlocked one-day seminar, with Paul Manwaring as our keynote speaker. The day will be full of life-giving content, revelation and wisdom. It also includes a delicious lunch!
Over and above a keynote address from Paul, we will hear from some industry leaders. There are several Development Tracks you can choose from to go deeper into a particular subject. There will also be conversations, opportunities to unpack challenges, practical insights and more.
Come and connect with other businesspeople, gain strategic insights to help you step into your upgraded season, and discover how you can be a positive influence for the Kingdom of Heaven in your workplace.
