Dear Members,
A super Vernier occasion is to be held on 14th July 2011, commencing at 12.30 for lunch at 1.00pm.
The venue is the Kooyong Tennis Club, 489 Glenferrie Road Kooyong.
Our Speaker for the day will be Roger La Salle
Roger La Salle is professional engineer, a director of a number of companies and a successful business entrepreneur. Roger developed and documented his special way of thinking, now referred to as Matrix Thinking, in the four books he has now written based on this simple but effective approach.
Matrix Thinking is now licensed in more than 26 counties and to one of the world's largest consulting firms and is delivered in this form as e-learning modules the world over. Not only does Roger talk on innovation and business building, Roger is also actively involved in business and over the years has created four companies based on his own ideas.
In 2004 Roger was and expert panelist on the ABC TV show the New Inventors and in 2005 was appointed as "Chair of Innovation" at the prestigious "The Queens University" in Belfast. He does guest lecture spots in universities the world over.
A stimulating, engaging and entertaining speaker, who walks and talks as he lays out the simple principles of thinking and business building - not a single overhead or PowerPoint for this fellow. You will be you spell bound as you see opportunities materialize before your very eyes as Roger speaks and draws on a white board.
Please advise by close of business on Friday if you are unable to attend.
Yours sincerely,
Peter C. Murie
