Pacific Business Boost

We have delivered professional development workshops for Pacific business owners and professionals for over 3 years.

Our current workshop series - “Pacific Business Boost” is designed for 1 hour sessions delivered online or in person on topics requested for by our collective.

All of our workshops and webinars are derived by suggestions and needs given to us by our collective. 100% of the content is owned by the facilitator.

If you would like to request a workshop or even look at delivering one, please contact us.

Talofa lava, Bula Vinaka, Kia Orana, Mālō e lelei and warm Pacific greetings,

We warmly invite our Pacific community, business owners, and organisations to join this free online webinar focused on practical tips and insights around business insurance.

Understanding the right insurance cover can sometimes feel confusing, with complex terms and policies that are not always easy to navigate. This session is designed to help simplify those conversations and give business owners greater clarity and confidence.

We are pleased to have Josh Kalauta joining us as our guest speaker. Josh is a business insurance broker who specialises in supporting small to medium-sized businesses. His approach is centred on making insurance simple, clear, and easy to understand, helping business owners cut through the jargon so they know exactly what they are covered for and why.

Josh works closely with his clients to take the weight of insurance off their shoulders, giving them confidence and peace of mind so they can focus on running and growing their businesses.

This session will include a 30-minute overview, followed by an opportunity to ask questions and talanoa together.

Whether you are already running a business or thinking about starting one, this is a great opportunity to learn more about protecting what you have worked hard to build.
