About the host

Suzi Dafnis

Hi there. I’m Suzi Dafnis, CEO at HerBusiness. My BIG passion is helping women business owners to grow and scale their business, so that they can create their ideal lifestyle and make a difference in the world. Every day I am inspired by the more than 30,000 amazing women (and men!) in our community and I love finding the best education, mentors, and resources from around the globe, to help them get the skills, knowledge, and support they need to succeed. It’s been my privilege to lead HerBusiness (formerly The Australian Businesswomen’s Network) for the past 23 years (two+ decades – WOW!) because, whilst I’ve enjoyed success in business, I’ve also experienced the highs and the lows – sometimes you can feel on top of the world and in control and other times you can feel isolated, exhausted and stuck. What has made the biggest difference for me has always been having great people around me and having a lifelong commitment to learning. That’s why I am so passionate about the work we do here at HerBusiness – providing a Connection Network for women in business to get the mentors, contacts, referrals, knowledge, and skills they need to grow their confidence, make more money, build their businesses, expand their network and create the lives they love. My entrepreneurial journey started in the spare room of my Sydney apartment in 1994 when my business partner and I started a boutique events company that represented speakers and authors from the USA, here in Australia. Over the years I’ve grown multiple multi-million dollar businesses in the events, publishing and education niches – with teams in Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. Not everything has worked and there has been a degree of trial and error, and a lot of bumps in the road. But I have always had a strong commitment to always surrounding myself with great mentors and like-minded peers – a Connection Network that I can depend on and who can depend on me to be there for them too. I truly do what I love, every day.

About the guest(s)

Stacey Barr

Stacey Barr

Stacey Barr shows business owners how to move their business performance from where it is to where they want it to be, through a strong focus on goals, and making measured progress toward reaching them. Measuring and tracking is not sexy. But that doesn’t make it any less true: if you want more success for your business, measuring will make it happen faster and easier. And that’s what Stacey is passionate about: making it fun, easy and faster for people to measure what matters in their business, so they take its destiny into their own hands and not leave it to the whims of hope or fate. Stacey quickly became known for her passion and practicality through sharing simple, step-by-step how-to information via her website and free email newsletters, running her 2-day Performance Measure Blueprint Workshop throughout Australia, and providing coaching and consulting services to government agencies, corporations, non-profit organisations and small to medium enterprises throughout Australia and internationally. And having been a soloist since 1999 – and of course measuring and tracking her own business – Stacey’s particularly passionate about showing micro and small business owners how measuring can leverage their efforts to find more clients, grow more profit, stop working so hard, and unleash the potential in their business.
