Conversations around the dinner table were always about bricks and mortar. From a small child\, Kym was always building homes out of Legos and going to inspections with her Dad and loved inspecting display homes. Kym was very fortunate to be trained by her Father while completing a Real Estate Traineeship and then completing further study to become a fully licensed Estate Agent. Kym’s Father who is still working in the industry today in WA continues to be an influential person in her career. Many family members have followed a career in the Real Estate industry with some joining Kym’s business giving it a solid foundation that her clients really appreciate and warm to. \n\n\n\nKym has renovated her homes in the past and is now also studying Interior Design. \n\n\n\nKym is a very driven professional who is always stretching herself not only for personal satisfaction but for the benefit of the advice she can offer her clients. She gains great satisfaction out of seeing her clients achieve their property dreams and being an integral part of their property journey. \n\n\n\nKym has a wonderful 20 year old daughter and a beautiful little Moodle dog – Missy. Kym might be the boss at work but Missy is clearly the boss at home!

SUMMARY:When I found my WHY\, my HOW found me
DESCRIPTION:Each week there is a Business Referrers meeting which provides a friendly and productive meeting opportunity for local small business owners to share referrals and grow their businesses using the membership as a platform for new ideas\, products and services. We have a guest presenter each week who provides information from their areas of expertise.   \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nWinston Churchill famously said “If you are going through hell\, keep going”. That quote was my motivation through may years of family tragedy (leaving me to raise my son alone since he was 4)\, and all the collateral damage that came with it. Most significantly I was diagnosed with a pre-cancer condition\, but I ignored it for 2 years amidst all the litigation\, solo parenting etc. That all changed when I pondered what would happen to my son if it became cancer. In an instant\, ” I took ownership of my health ” (for Dylan’s sake) and I turned it around 180 degrees – including losing 50kgs and improving all my medical markers. “When I found my WHY\, my HOW found me”. \n\n\n\nDuring Covid I started a men’s health charity to help as many men as possible find their WHY\, as it’s THE power that enables us to take ownership of our health. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Presenter\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRichard Paterson

Over the years he realised that to develop real business networking success… it was not just about turning up… but actually learning specific skills that help people build strong and powerful relationships. When Leo stepped back from business networking as Australia’s single most successful franchisee and educator in 2010\, he thought that networking would improve as there were so many new players in the business networking space… Unfortunately\, he discovered that over the last 13 years networking education has not only gotten worse\, but each and every networking organisation has literally failed… by not fulfilling their brand promise to their members\, and not educating their members in how to network powerfully and effectively… A situation he has decided to remedy in his own small way… \nYou can also find out more about Leo and his business here: https://flowaustralia.com.au/ \n\n\n\n  \nClick Here to RSVP\n\n\n
