Two Powerhouse Mentors Join Forces for Business Retreats

Something big is brewing in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, and it’s not your typical business conference. Angeli of Angeli Shaw Mentoring and Cait of Iconic Coaching are combining their firepower to launch IGNITE, a luxury three-day business retreat designed to tear up the rulebook and rebuild everything from the inside out. Running from Saturday 25th to Monday 27th April 2026 (with arrivals the Friday evening before), IGNITE brings together just 15 ambitious businesswomen in a stunning hinterland mansion for an experience that promises equal parts strategy and soul.

The Importance of Education for Regional Salons

Kerrie Di Mattia and Jenni Tarrant own successful salons in two very different, regional parts of Australia.  Kerrie runs the innovative Di Mattia and Co in Grafton (Northern NSW) and Jenni operates Bond Hair Religion in Canberra with an extremely mixed professional, business and rural market. They are ‘hitting the road’ with 2026 Culture + Bond Business Seminars from March to August in Geelong, Albury, Gold Coast and Newcastle.   Ready to spread their management and leadership expertise, Kerrie and Jenni share their thoughts here on how their experience can help salon leaders develop. What is different about your business in your town compared to major cities? Kerrie – Running a salon in a regional town means access to education, recruitment and industry exposure is far more limited than in major cities, yet our clients and our community deserve the same high standard you’d expect to find in a major city.
