And the Secret ingredient is??????
One Inspired Brimbank City Council
The Morning Begins
05:30 and the alarm is going, time to get up and get ready for what by all accounts promises to be another fabulous day beginning with the Brimbank City Council Business Breakfast.
06:50 and we’re walking through the door of what has to be the best kept secret in the Western suburbs OVERNEWTON CASTLE RECEPTIONS http://www.overnewtoncastle.com.au/
This venue is simply amazing, the setting idyllic and the food and service impeccable. I was chatting with a couple of ‘first timers’ and they were simply awestruck; and rightly so.
07:20 and we take our seats and let the show begin; Carley Scott Brimbank Economic Development Coordinator is our M.C. for the morning and she begins as she continues throughout, like a seasoned professional; engaging, humorous and in control.
Breakfast is served and on to the main event; Dr Louise Mahler is front and center. I had my reservations but trusted that the Brimbank team would keep to their high standards and they didn’t let me down. In between mouthfuls Dr Louise kept us spell bound, hanging on to every word. Before too long we were introducing ourselves to complete strangers; inhaling and exhaling with confidence we never knew we had. From intent listening to jaw aching laughter we had it all this morning, maybe the only thing missing was you!
By the end of breakfast everyone in the room was singing along to a tune from the Wizard of Oz and not a drop of alcohol was served.
How she did it is no longer a complete mystery for me but would take me the entire day to write and I do have some work to do so I’ll happily leave it to the internet and Youtube.
