  Small Business Dispute Resolution

  As much as we try to avoid it, sometimes business disputes just happen.  They can happen with customers, suppliers, landlord, partners, bank, you name it, and it can be very distressing.

  Our presentation this week comes from Isaac Chalik, a Solicitor with over 30 years business experience in property, finance, small business, franchising and more.  Isaac's claim to fame is a case he won against ANZ at Australian Financial Ombudsman which was used as a case study in 2018 Banking Royal Commission.

  Isaac's presentation will cover:

  • different resolution options
  • how to manage disputes
  • how to manage your lawyer if the dispute escalates
  • what happens in court, and 
  • finding a resolution.

  Bring a common scenario dispute and see how dispute resolution can be applied.

  
  

  Plus of course you'll have the opportunity to introduce yourself and your business to other small business owners and managers as you present your 20 second Elevator Pitch.

  Spread the word, invite a friend to register and make it your business to join us!

  Dinner + Three Mini-Masterclasses to Set You Up for 2026

  We’ve had some changes in our speaker line-up, but the heart of this festive evening remains the same: bringing our SBNG community together to learn, laugh and wrap up the year feeling inspired. Dinner, great company, and three focused 20-minute mini-masterclasses from our SBNG experts: Nicola Davies-Cooke, Brendan Rogers and David Turner.

  December can easily feel like a pressure cooker for business owners, so let’s flip it into an incubator for clarity, connection and calm. You’ll leave feeling lighter, clearer, and equipped with fresh strategies for both people and performance.

  What you’ll get on the night:

  • Permission to Pause (Nicola Davies-Cooke) – How to protect your energy before the end-of-year rush – boundaries, breath and balance for leaders who want to start 2026 calm, grounded and ready.

  • Strategic Clarity in the Quiet (Brendan Rogers) – How to harness the year’s quietest weeks to reset your focus, reflect on what matters, and map the first steps of your 2026 direction.

  • Strategic Communication Tips (David Turner) - Practical techniques to dissolve communication frustrations – sharpen your listening, make your message stick, and take part in a hands-on group activity that generates real, actionable communication strategies.
