Business Connect Workshops
The Epiphany Group worked collaboratively with Sydney Hills Business Chamber in 2022-23, through the Business Connect program, to deliver workshops covering various aspects of entrepreneurship and business management. These workshops focused on critical areas such as marketing strategies, financial management, and the fundamentals of starting a business.
The results/feedback of these workshop were:
- Over the duration of 12 months, 98 people attended the workshops.
- a significant portion of the participants were in the start-up phase of their businesses, with 72% of the attendees falling into this category. This indicates a strong representation of aspiring entrepreneurs and new business owners seeking valuable insights and support to navigate the challenges and opportunities that come with launching and establishing a business.
- 85% of attendees engaged in advisory sessions.
- Participants praised the wide range of available advisors., acknowledging that the diverse pool of advisors effectively covered all essential aspects relevant to new and established business owners. This comprehensive support allowed entrepreneurs to receive tailored guidance based on their specific business needs and challenges.
- 99% of participants stated that they would wholeheartedly recommend the program to others, showcasing the high level of satisfaction and confidence in the support and resources provided.
This Program effectively nurtured and empowered the growth of local businesses, contributing to the economic development and prosperity of the area. The council’s commitment to providing such valuable support, including referrals to address specific financial needs, has been well-received by the business community, further reinforcing the positive impact of these workshops and the advisory services offered.
Case study: Genevieve met Rob Langtry, TEG Business Advisor, via the workshop at the Hills Council, “Marketing Strategies, Building your Brand”. From that she booked in 2 Business Connect advisory sessions with Rob. The advisory conversations revolved around Genevieve discussing her business and marketing strategy. Rob suggested marketing tactics such as press releases, speaking to journalists, creating a content calendar, and using SMS blasts, also the importance of building customer relationships, together with creating collections, and emphasising branding, highlighting perceived value.
There was a focus on financial aspects, including calculating gross profit, determining direct costs, factoring in overhead, and setting limits for promotional allowance spending.
Rob referred Genevieve to also talk with Julien Bertoli, TEG Business Advisor to cover a range of business-related topics, from marketing strategies and financial considerations to personal experiences and follow-up plans.
Julien commented: “When I reviewed the account, the cost per sale was averaging $120, making the business unprofitable. After we made the relevant modifications together, and after 3 sessions of testing, the cost per sale was reduced to $34 – a drop of 71% in cost per conversion, making the business profitable. Isla & May are now in a good position to scale their campaigns.”

Respectful Workplace Behaviours Workshop
In March/April 2024 TEG have been delivering Respectful Workplace Behaviour workshops to TTW for 350 team members across Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra and Melbourne as a mix of face to face and online delivery, for 1 hour sessions with 18 groups.
The aim of this training program was to develop core skills and understand the link to policies and responsibilities and the relationship to implementation of these and their responsibilities as team members, managers and Directors.
In the training we referred to the organisations policies including their Anti Sexual Harassment policy, Anti discrimination, Bullying and Harassment policy, all relevant legislation, regulation and legal obligations, and how that is relevant to respectful workplace behaviour. This training provided case studies in the workplace and in the industry that promoted professional communication among team members. All team members had an opportunity to demonstrate understanding of what they had learned through a knowledge and competency assessment.
Feedback from TTW’s Respectful Workplace Behaviour Workshop:
The training was well-received, with participants expressing appreciation for the comprehensive, fast, direct and engaging approach to these critical topics. They found real-life scenarios (court cases) and interactive discussions particularly interesting and effective in understanding the impact of inappropriate behaviour and the importance of a respectful workplace culture.
Feedback highlighted the clarity and detail with which TTW company policies were explained. TTW employees felt reassured by the company’s commitment to creating a safe working environment and appreciated the guidance on reporting incidents and available support. Participants also requested a follow-up session or refresher course was suggested to ensure the continued prominence of these crucial messages among TTW’s workforce.
Participant comments:
- Robert Tomanovski –Was good to get insight with some real life work examples of what is happening in the workplace with harassment
- Nicholas Matthews – I found the program informative with clear presentation and examples from current real-life cases
- Sophie Slade – It was good to get refreshed with policies and get an update on the changes
- Tremayne Sinnetamby – It’s good to be aware of what constitute bullying, harassment and misconduct so one can identify if it happens to oneself or others and stop it. Also prevent you from accidentally doing it yourself.
