US entrepreneur and coach set to inspire at Project17
The Project, a series of events which gives staff, students and the general public the opportunity to meet leaders at the forefront of digital technologies and business innovation, returns this year.
Justin Milano, from Good Startups, a US coaching and e-learning company that helps entrepreneurs build thriving companies, is the headline speaker for the first Project17 event on Tuesday 28 February at AUT’s City Campus.
Kicking off at 5.30pm with drinks, nibbles and networking, the serial entrepreneur, executive coach, intrepid traveller, author and producer, will give a keynote speech on four pillars for entrepreneurial success, followed by a hosted Q&A. The event will conclude at 7.30pm.
Designed to inspire business, government, and university leaders to explore a larger collaboration for optimal results, staff interested in attending can use their professional development budget to attend the conference. Tickets can be booked via Eventbrite.
Martin Bell, Executive Producer for Project17 said the event is a rare chance to hear from an industry expert on their successes and failures – and together try to make sense of the ever-shifting and constantly evolving world.
“If you’re interested in how to lead and inspire people around you, push your entrepreneurial idea, or discover how to become more resilient in your workplace, I encourage you to come along.
As well as learning crucial insights into new business ideas, models and strategies, you’ll get the chance to meet future business partners, collaborators and co-conspirators and be exposed to ideas that could potentially re-invent your approach to everything,” Martin said.
