Every month, business women
around Centurion get together to network and exchange ideas at the Hirsch
Centurion branch. As Mother’s Day is celebrated in May, this month was
all about celebrating Mothers that work.
Margaret Hirsch, COE of the
Hirsch Group welcomed the ladies and spoke about the empowerment of women in
the business world, how women can get to the top by being passionate about what
they do, believe in themselves and be determined to get there and be successful
in business- and in the home!
The Finalist in the Margaret
Hirsch Woman In Business Achiever Awards (Centurion) was also chosen at this
event and this month’s finalist was Tracy Minnie, proud owner of Innovation
Junxion (Pty) Ltd t/a iCoach. Said Margaret, “Tracy is a great
example of a true business woman achiever! Wife, mother of 2 boys,
business woman and life coach. Mrs SA Top 5 finalist 2011 and Mrs Tshwane

The Guest Speaker at the
event was Mariët Hammann owner of Living Life in Full Colour with the
topic “Your signature language of chocolate”. Mariët is an art
based functional therapist who spoke about the different types of
chocolate. She explained the difference between raw, sun dried and
roasted cocoa beans, the process that is undertaken and finally spoke about the
different tastes of the white, milk, dark and raw chocolate. Concluding her
talk, Mariet quipped “Dear Diamond, we all know who is really a girls best
