This month's topic: The Story of Storypark - Starting, Growing and Exiting a Successful Business

‍

‍

Event Description:

Join us for an inspiring speaker event featuring Peter Dixon, Co-founder of Storypark. This event is tailored for business owners and entrepreneurs who are eager to learn from real-life experiences and gain valuable insights into the journey of building and exiting a successful business.

‍

Peter's Talk:

If you're a parent, aunty, uncle or grandparent of youngish children you've probably heard of or used Storypark.

The Storypark platform has made a tangible difference for over a million children, their families, educators, and ECE services worldwide. It has become integral to early childhood education practice across Australasia and much of Canada, supported groundbreaking academic research, consistently led as a market innovator, and built an internationally respected brand anchored in strong values and authentic purpose.

Peter will share his journey from CEO of a start-up 12+ years ago to exiting Storypark late last year.

He'll delve into the importance of running a purpose-led business with strong core values, share some of the highs and lows of his career journey, and a few things he's learned about life and business along the way. He'll also discuss the emotional and practical aspects of finding an identity again outside of Storypark.

This talk promises to be a blend of inspiration, practical advice, and personal anecdotes that will resonate with anyone on the entrepreneurial path. Although Peter's partner Samantha doesn't like the limelight, she'll also be along to share some of her journey in supporting Storypark's growth.

Don't miss this opportunity to gain insights from Peter and Samantha's remarkable journey and to network with fellow business owners.
