Recently Hirsch’s Meadowdale hosted their monthly Ladies networking morning with Paula Quinsee, a relationship expert, author and speaker. Commented Hirsch’s Chantelle du Plessis “Paula spoke about how our work environment will change in the future and asked if we possessed the necessary skills for these changes. Guests were enticed with the topics ranging from the jobs that will be available in 2030, new emerging sectors and the top 10 skills to have for the future. Robots are no longer something of the future, they are here now and have an impact on our relationships.”

“Robots will never be able to replace human contact and empathy. Money doesn’t make the world go around, relationships do. What are you doing to build them?” Paula added.

The networkers were given the opportunity to present themselves and their businesses in a 60-second elevator pitch.

This was followed by a lucky draw, networking, sharing of business cards and enjoying refreshments. Batlhalefeng Maleke,owner of Muyndshifting Consulting was announced as  the month of July’s nominee for the Margaret Hirsch Women in Business award.
