A WORD FROM THE CHIEF

Hi, Business Chicks!

It's now been three years since my team started managing
Business Chicks, and what a ride it's been! We've expanded
into all states of Australia, launched a mentoring program,
expanded our events programs to include workshops
and networking, supported our charity, Kids Helpline,
and of course started this wonderful magazine that's found
its way into your hands.

Summer is fast approaching, so if you're one of those

people who hibernates for the winter, only to fi nd the
motivation when it starts heating up, you'll love Donna
Aston's advice about which training routine to choose.
You'll also fi nd some tips on investing in property from
property guru Chris Gray. In this issue, we've explored
some fi ve-star camping experiences and met some
amazing women at the top of their game. Carla Zampatti
shares her success strategies with us, and we uncover
some celebrity beauty treatments.

So, it's all here for you. Enjoy reading this edition

of latte and we look forward to seeing you at one of our
upcoming Business Chicks events soon.

It's now been three years since

my team started managing Business

Chicks and what a ride it's been!

A WORD FROM THE CHIEF

latte

Hello you gorgeous latte readers,

Welcome to your bi-monthly caffeine injection of business, fashion, travel,
health and style! We know you're going to love what's contained in the pages
of this first edition of Business Chicks' latte magazine it's been lovingly
prepared for you, and we're so excited it's found its way into your hands.

I'm often teased for being overly excitable. I jump up and down at the

thought of a new idea or a new project; dream about where I'll travel to next;
get excited about who'll I'll meet and what I'll learn; embrace old friends in
hugs that squeeze the air from them and talk a million miles an hour.

So, needless to say, I'm excited about 2008.
2008 will be `The Year of the New' for Business Chicks. A new website, a

new mentoring program, our new Lunch and Learn Series, a new launch into
Perth (spread the word!), new partnerships (a special thanks to our Platinum
Partner NAB that has committed to supporting women in business through
Business Chicks) and of course, our new magazine, latte.

And if you want to share latte with your friends, tell them to head to the new

Business Chicks site (www.businesschicks.com.au do you love it?) where
you'll find (over the coming months) all back issues of this beautiful magazine.

In this issue, I love Rachael Oakes-Ash's story about the fluidity and

application of fashion design into other realms rugs, phones, hotels.... Who
would have thought to team Alex Perry and a clothes dryer? And if you think
Rachael can write, you should see her speak. She'll be gracing our stage at
the Brisbane Business Chicks breakfast in May come along for a belly laugh
and some insights into the truth behind female competition.

We've also done the hard work to discover the best island escapes across

the globe, my fave being Huvafen Fushi in the Maldives, where I recently
spent my honeymoon. There's seriously gorgeous winter fashion for the
workplace and 10 brilliant tips for staying more active while you are at work.

Throw yourself into this year, just as we are at Business Chicks. Take time

out for you, time to learn, time to give back and time to explore.

And enjoy your first latte!
Yours in excitement,

Emma Isaacs
