• Philanthropy, what does it mean in a career sense, identifying as a professional fundraiser.
Opportunity arises at various times in your career – how do you assess it? On the flip side so many just follow a career path without a lot of thought
• Give yourself time to think whether you’re aligning your own values with where you see yourself headed professionally
• How do you define what is important to you in a role?
• You have to enjoy what you do....too much time spent at work, sometimes at the cost of time with those closest to you
• Surround yourself with good people in life

A young mother of three at 21, Tracy rose up through the ranks at Westpac NZ and AU to Regional Manager in her mid 30’ies.
She transformed the worst branches into the best.
Her banking skills taught her the fundamentals of running a business:
•creating and sharing a vision
•how to write business plans and apply for angel funding and bank loans
•how to inspire and empower people
•how to gain the goodwill and loyalty of clients
Motivated by her young family, Tracy was the first person in and last person to leave work.
But her gut instinct told her she could strike a better world life balance with her small children, and to do so, she should be her own boss.
Today she is a founder and director of numerous start-ups, including The Consultant’s Vault, Business Beyond 5 and Metadigm Digital – her passion to take individuals, entrepreneurs and companies with irrepressible dreams on the road to lasting success.
In Tracy’s world, you are either someone to build someone else’s dream or you can start building your own.
