During the pandemic many people had a taste of working from home, at their own hours and having time to reflect on their jobs and careers. Being your own boss, working hours to suit your lifestyle and working from your home are just some of the benefits that many people are now seeking.

Upper Hutt Business and Professional Women (BPW UH) are running a free, one day Be Your Own Boss expo on 11 July at Lane Park Church to introduce people to the pros and cons of working in self- employment, gig working, contracting and consulting. Timed to coincide with the Matariki celebration, many people may use the time to reconsider their careers and their employment.

With a wide variety of new employment and career opportunities in Upper Hutt, and a growing local population, the members of UPBPW who are organising and hosting the day, believe it’s a perfect time to talk about possible career changes and the opportunities for themselves and their children in this new environment.

At the Expo, people will have the opportunity to hear from potential employers, from people who are already successful in self-employment and consulting and the opportunities for gig workers. A key-note speaker is Kristy Grant, CEO of Lane Street Studios. The recently opened film studios in Upper Hutt has the potential to engage hundreds of contractors, gig workers and support people in the film industry. Other speakers will talk about their own experiences in self-employment, the traps and how to avoid them, the discipline needed to set your own goals and the variety of opportunities that are available.

One of the organisers, Gail Godtschalk, said “when starting my own business 25 years ago I had the support of a trainer and mentor who gave me the pros and cons of being in business and how to navigate a way through. I would recommend to anyone to find their own supporters!” Upper Hutt Business and Professional Women offer collegiality and a safe environment for women to share experiences, talk about employment issues and lobby government on issues relevant to business and professional women.

Today Gail runs a successful massage therapy treatment clinic in Upper Hutt and is a member of BPW UH.

Join us this Tuesday, 11 July from 9am at Lane Church. You can register at the door or here: www.eventbrite.com...
