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
Hi Business Chicks,
Hard to believe that we're almost half way through the year! I hope you're busy
enjoying every moment and relishing your opportunities to be challenged, have fun,
and learn and grow. It's a good time to sit down now and analyse where you're at
and where you're going and plan your goals for the second half of the year.
It's been great seeing you all at some of our recent events around the country
­ it never ceases to amaze me how spirited and generous the Business Chicks
community is and how much fun we have when we get together. One highlight
for me was seeing the crowds in Melbourne and Sydney for our breakfast series
listening to Li Cunxin, author of Mao's Last Dancer, as he relayed his story in
person and shared with us so openly. It's an honour to share these experiences with
you and we'll continue to work hard to make sure there's plenty more to come!
In this issue of latte, Anna Gibson explores the world of book publishing to fi nd out
what it takes to get into print. We look into whether a franchise could be right for
you, and Dr Adam Fraser delves into ways to manage daily sugar fl uctuations. Matt
Church lets us in on some secrets of successful public speaking and we take a tour
of some of the best golf resorts in the world.
So why not sit back, grab a latte, and enjoy the read!
It never ceases to amaze me

the Business Chicks
community is and how

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
