What does it take to build a sustainable, profitable, and enjoyable accounting firm? Coach Amanda Gascoigne joins us to share her five key pillars for creating a thriving small practice.

Then we speak to the CEO of the Council of Small Business Organisations Australia, Luke Achterstraat. Luke takes us through the the labyrinthine General Retail Industry Award, which he says is far too complicated for small and medium businesses to properly navigate.

We feature two of the best sales minds in the business this month. David Fastuca explains how you can become more confident and reduce desperation by building a healthy sales pipeline, while Ingrid Maynard describes how you can improve your business by conducting a sales audit.

Rod Curtis from Kommunal gives us a masterclass in brand management, Saaim Khan explains how you can grow your business with cyber security, and Marnie Brokenshire looks at how you can change the workplace narrative to encourage staff back to the office.

And finally this month, a bit of self-improvement, with Organisational Phsychologist Stephanie Bown urging us all to speak up and be heard.
