Another Wednesday, another masterclass at BNI Corporate Parramatta. 🎓

Our featured presenters certainly raised the bar this week.

💼 Shah took us behind the scenes of buying, selling and valuing a business — drawing on more than a decade in business broking and valuation. A great reminder that selling a business isn’t just about finding a buyer; it’s about understanding what the business is truly worth. (LinkedIn⁠)

🎤 John Drury shared his wisdom on business, leadership and building a life beyond the business. John’s philosophy is simple but powerful: your business should serve your life, not consume it. With years of mentoring business owners, there were plenty of gold nuggets in the room. (LinkedIn⁠)

And our Education Coordinator Henry Chow gave us a timely reminder about effective referrals — because a good referral isn’t just passing a name; it’s making a meaningful introduction.

This is what I love about our chapter: quality people, real expertise and learning from people who actually do the work. Our member list spans a wide range of professions, which makes those conversations even richer.

Curious what happens in the room every Wednesday?

Come visit us. You might walk in for the networking and leave with an idea that changes your business. 😊

Domestic violence doesn’t stop. Neither should our support. 💗

At BNI Corporate, we’re proud to stand behind our Charity Seat, the Lisa Harnum Foundation, as they urgently work to raise $15,000 this week to continue supporting women and families escaping domestic and family violence.

If our chapter has ever inspired you, this is a chance to help us make a real difference. Every donation—big or small—helps provide safety, hope, and a pathway to a life free from violence.

Please donate if you can. If not, sharing this appeal is just as powerful.

Together, we can save lives. ❤️

Who says lawyers can’t be entertaining? 😄

This week’s BNI Corporate meeting proved they absolutely can.

The team from Hammond Nguyen Turnbull (HNT Legal) delivered a joint presentation on Family Law and Property Law—and instead of legal jargon, they gave us creativity, humour, and some Oscar-worthy acting that had the whole room engaged. 🎭⚖️

It was a great reminder that behind every legal matter are real people, real families, and real stories. Having the right experts by your side can make all the difference.

A massive shout-out to our amazing Executive Director, Rebecca Raad , for delivering another impactful education session on how we can continue growing our chapter.

Your passion, encouragement, and unwavering support inspire us every week. ❤️

That’s one of the things I love most about our chapter. It’s never just about passing referrals. It’s about learning from passionate professionals, challenging each other to grow, celebrating each other’s wins, and building genuine relationships that make both our businesses and our community stronger.

If you’ve been wondering what BNI is all about, we’d love to have you visit. Come and experience the energy for yourself, meet an incredible group of local business owners, enjoy a great lunch, and see why so many of our visitors leave saying, “I didn’t expect networking to be this much fun!”

Our door is always open—we’d love to welcome you.

Another fantastic Wednesday morning with our BNI family! ☕️

This week’s feature presenters, Binfeng Zhang and Rose Apostolovska, gave us a practical look into skilled migration and employer sponsorship. Binfeng showed how the right migration pathway can unlock opportunities, while Rose unpacked the real costs and responsibilities of sponsoring overseas talent. Let’s just say… it’s a little more complicated than booking a flight! 😄

A big thank you to our Area Director, Pauline Spackman, for visiting and presenting regional awards.

Congratulations as well to Shena Foster and Farid Zaki being recognised at the recent BNI Regional Breakfast Awards. Well deserved!

One of the best parts of every meeting is hearing from our visitors. Once again, they shared how welcoming the chapter is and how impressed they were by the genuine relationships and business being passed between members.

Business is important, but building a community that genuinely supports one another is what makes this chapter so special. ❤️

If you’ve been thinking about visiting a BNI meeting, we’d love to welcome you!

Another fantastic Wednesday at BNI! 🙌

This week’s feature presentation reminded us that buying property is about more than finding the right home—it’s about having the right professionals by your side.

🏡 Julio Sanchez helped us better understand Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) and how it can create opportunities for buyers to enter the market sooner.

🔑 Domi Antalfy shared what sets a great Buyer’s Agent apart: they don’t simply take orders—they assess, research and advocate. Whether it’s a $400k apartment or a $4M home, her mission remains the same: to always act in her client’s best interests.

We also celebrated a few milestones:
🎉 Happy Birthday, John!
🎤 Congratulations to Klara on winning her very first Golden Mic!
👏 A huge thank you to Richard Nassif for his incredible leadership as Chapter President, and a warm welcome to our new Madam Preside Vivian Nguyen as she steps into the role. We’re excited for what’s ahead!

As always, our visitors left with wonderful feedback about the warmth, generosity and professionalism of our members.

That’s what makes our chapter special. It’s more than business referrals—it’s a community of people committed to helping each other and our clients succeed.

If you’d like to experience it for yourself, come visit us at our next meeting. We’d love to have you! 💙

Today was one of those BNI mornings that reminded us why we’re here.

Yes, we come together to support each other’s businesses. But today showed that we’re also a community of people who genuinely care about making a difference.

We heard from Sarita Verma who shared the heart behind her business and her passion for helping others. We also had the privilege of hearing from Aileen Mountfield, founder of the Lisa Harnum Foundation, who shared the Foundation’s incredible work supporting individuals and families impacted by domestic and family violence.

The reality is confronting:
💜 1 in 4 Australian women have experienced violence by an intimate partner.
💜 Coercive control—where someone uses manipulation, intimidation, isolation, financial control, or emotional abuse to dominate another person—often happens long before physical violence occurs.

What impressed us most was the Foundation’s commitment to walking alongside families, connecting them with the support, resources, education, and advocacy they need to rebuild their lives.

Our chapter responded exactly as you would expect—with generosity, compassion, and a genuine desire to help.

That’s what makes this group so special.

We are not just business owners, advisers, lawyers, accountants, marketers, brokers, and consultants. We are people who believe in lifting others up and supporting our wider community when it’s needed most.

If you’d like to support the Lisa Harnum Foundation, please consider making a donation:

And if someone you know may be experiencing coercive control or domestic violence, please reach out. Help is available, and no one should have to face it alone.

❤️ Business is what brings us together.
💜 Community is what keeps us together.
