Hear from Sunshine, a local business supporting the campaign in Sydney:
‘The 10thousandgirl campaign aligns with Omniwealth’s values of people first, passion, growth and intelligence. The workshops provide young women with the much needed mindset and skills needed to thrive both financially and in all areas of their lives. The education and messages delivered in these workshops overlaps with our education on wealth creation and the girls that have joined Omniwealth as clients come onboard very well prepared for taking control of their finances. Being involved in 10,000 girl campaign has helped us spread our message of financial independence being a reality to many young and aspiring women, something which I am particularly passionate about.’ – Sunshine Estivo, Omniwealth
Hear from Scott, a local business supporter of the campaign in Canberra:
‘At Money Mechanics we are proud to have been associated with the campaign and I would happily recommend or suggest other businesses engage in the program anyway they can. As a business we have found this a benefit from a community engagement and promotion perspective to help build our brand awareness and spread the word about our service offering as well as be able to connect via social media channels to new potential clients. On a personal note it has also been a great way to give something back which is linked to the values of our business being financial literacy and a focus on a personal values based approach to education and empowerment and achieving financial well being! …Just checking out the new website stats. #1 referred from Google #2 from Facebook and #3 The 10thousandgirl Campaign (thanks to Zoe and the team!).’ – Scott Malcolm, Money Mechanics
