Our Story
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
The story begins, like many start-ups, with a stint working overseas.
It was a chance offer to help organise an Anthony Robbins event in London where Karen Beattie first felt the impact on audiences of a world-class speaker… and a spark was ignited that would later become The Growth Faculty.
Back in Australia, Karen settled into events management for the Certified Practising Accountants Association (CPA) before accounting software firm MYOB in 1999 placed their trust in her to organise a national roadshow explaining the new Goods and Services Tax (GST) to thousands of small and medium businesses.
“I met so many business owners and managers who were time poor, and personally and professionally stretched,” she remembers. “I saw first- hand how calming and empowering it was for them to know about change before it happened.”
Helping these businesses, no matter what their size, access the world’s greatest business minds became Karen’s goal, and so she began The Growth Faculty, initially called Business Connect. Today, The Growth Faculty is a leading provider of world class education for executives and leadership teams, with speaker events featuring Jim Collins, Hillary Clinton, George Clooney, Malcom Gladwell, Patrick Lencioni, John Maxwell and Liz Wiseman to name a few. In addition, a new and improved online business book club is offered to members, with event discounts, and unique content from bestselling business book authors.
“Our goal is to provoke ideas, stimulate action and drive profitable growth”
