May 13, 2011 | Rhondalynn Korolak

That’s the good news, now do you want to hear the bad news? Rhondalynn Korolak shares with you why not failing in the first 12 months doesn’t necessarily mean you’re running a successful business.



Could You Make $6b and Still be Bankrupt?

The answer is simpler than you might think and it applies to all businesses big and small. Rhondalynn Korolak explains why profit is pointless and cash flow is king!



Female Employers Seeing Red (Tape)

November 16, 2010 | admin

Are you an employer? Hope you are ready for the extra burden and red tape that the Paid Parental scheme will impose on your business? Because unless there are some radical changes very soon the Government will expect you to become one of their Paid Parental Leave pay clerks?



Coinciding Your Email Campaigns with Major News

August 27, 2010 | Heather Maloney

Recently Apple launched the iPad in a number of countries outside of the USA, including America. That same day I know of at least two organisations, Borders and Domain, who sent emails out to their contacts on that exact day telling people about the tools that they now have available for the iPad.



Do We Really Have To PUSH Women On To Boards?

June 27, 2010 | Rhondalynn Korolak

When I first arrived in this country several years ago, I struggled to find anyone who would hire me in a senior management capacity. I found this puzzling since I have two degrees, two professional designations and very solid work experience with recognised international brands. The MAIN reason I was given by organisations was that I “lacked [...]



Diversity: The old Merit vs Quotas argument

March 1, 2010 | admin

Over the week-end you may have read about the KPMG report that was commissioned to review the role of the Equal Opportunity for Women in the Workplace Agency.

Babes are likely to be out of the budget

February 24, 2009 | admin

This week-end the Government will receive the Productivity Commission’s recommendations on Maternity Leave. It appears that after all the carry-on about this idea it’s not going to even get a look-in as part of the May Budget. It seems the Nation is not in an economic position to implement it – well the Government had heaps [...]



Missing Member Alive and Safe

February 15, 2009 | admin

As most Members are aware, we held grave fears for the safety of WNA Member Denise McCann from Women of Wine who had not been heard of following the complete destruction of her family property in the fires that ripped through Steel’s Creek last Saturday. I am so very pleased to be reporting that, although [...]



Stimulus a no-go for many women

February 10, 2009 | admin

I have received hundreds of emails agreeing with my lack of enthusiasm for the Government’s proposed stimulus package. The consensus of opinion is that one off bonuses are not the way to go, but rather a combination of infrastructure projects, tax cuts and one off payments going only to those crippled by the economic fallout. In [...]
