Fourways Network Morning with Di Boyack
Fourways and surrounds attended the monthly Business Network Morning at Hirsch Fourways recently, and had the honour of the Founder of Hirsch’s, Allan Hirsch, briefly stopping by to meet and greet networkers.
“We also had wonderful coffee provided by DeLongi with Sarah Khosa in attendance. Audio visual was provided compliments of LG. Whirlpool also introduced their 12kg Zen drive washing machine and amazed us with how quiet and stable it was.” Commented Hirsch PRO Sharron Dingle.
Guest speaker was Di Boyack who has 23 years experience in training thousands of leaders and managers from corporates to small businesses. Di challenged everyone about the importance of asking the right questions. “The first concept she taught us was “Triangulation” which means we need to seek out information from different people with different perspectives. She said that so often we partner with people who we like or who are similar to us which may reduce conflict, but miss the opportunity to get hard, honest feedback. The feedback is often vague and gives no room for us to grow and improve ourselves. She also taught “Q and Q”. When we ask questions (Q) we need to be quiet (Q) and be prepared to just listen. Everyone was asked to write down 5 questions we would ask ourselves that are critical to the success of our business. We had to triangulate and share these questions with others in the room. This created a buzz of animated conversation, with the group making comments and giving feedback. The insights and learnings were profound.” Commented Sharron.
Di and her partner Elize Brassell are running a “Kickstart your Business Bootcamp” for anyone who is interested in developing themselves and getting their business to the next level.
