Celebrating Successful Business Women – and Mothers!


 

 

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 2012 and Head Judge of Jacaranda Show for four years.”

 

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 friend – Yours sincerely Chocolate”. 

Prizes were up for grabs for the most creative hat, and  Carina Nel from Fashion and Style Club assisted with the hat judging and the Hirsch’s Mom’s on The Run Cookbook was handed to the lady with the most stylish hat and the most creative hat for the day.
