ANNUAL networking event Business Day Out is set to present a range of notable speakers and the opportunity to mingle with likeminded professionals from across the region.<\/p>\n

Facilitated and subsided by Commerce Ballarat, the affordable ticket includes access to the half-day program of professional forums, networking with the Ballarat business community and a buffet lunch from 12pm.<\/p>\n

Acclaimed sports presenter, producer and originally Ballarat local, Melissa Haase is set to MC the day\u2019s proceedings alongside the three speakers.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The event draws in hundreds of attendees from across the region.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

First up on the program is National Australia Bank\u2019s head of behaviour and industry economics Dean Pearson who currently leads a team of analysts looking into consumer and business habits.<\/p>\n

With over 30 years\u2019 experience as a behavioural economist and commentator under his belt, Mr Pearson plans to discuss some of his findings and debunk the idea that humans are naturally rational beings.<\/p>\n

Second up is founder of ProfitHQ and business mentor Philip Coombs who is also a business coach, an accredited Mindshop advisor, author, and guest speaker, with over 30 years of hands on experience.<\/p>\n

With a wealth of \u201chip pocket\u201d experience, Mr Coombs said by understanding business from a former owner and manager standpoint, it helps him best coach his clients for maximum profitability.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve owned 15 different businesses, I started very young in business ownership in my 30s, so I understand business and how complex business ownership is,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBusiness is getting tougher, not easier, so what I\u2019m trying to get business owners to focus on is profitability because it\u2019s impossible to look after employees or achieve any goals in business without making a profit.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s almost become a dirty word and people feel uncomfortable talking about it but I\u2019m hoping to show people techniques of how to make more money out of business, not at the expense of people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Final speaker on the program is founder of international communications agency Lotus Monica Brown who has experience working for international, high profile food-based clients including Heston Blumenthal, Tetsuya Wakuda and Rainer Becke.<\/p>\n

Clocking over 30 years\u2019 professional experience, Ms Brown also curated a range of internationally successful events including the Margaret River Gourmet Escape, Oceana Project and Gelinaz Shuffle, and is eager to discuss her mould-breaking tips and tricks with audiences.<\/p>\n

In preparation for the day, Mr Coombs said networking events such as the Business Day Out are critical in the development of a business to get better, learn from people and build on the knowledge you might not have.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese networking style events are really important, especially if you\u2019re starting out a new business, it\u2019s essential to mix with people and build a community around you,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve seen it all, multiple recessions, I\u2019ve made money and lost money and have a lot of experience a lot of coaches don\u2019t have and I want to give people some tips, tools and techniques, so they don\u2019t have to spend 25 years of pain to learn.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to be talking about profit, the importance of profit, what you can do to grow profits and how you can build a business to sell later down the track and you can\u2019t take the right actions unless you have the knowledge in the first place.\u201d<\/p>\n
