Feature Presentation - 06 May 2026 - Paul Van Barneveld - Brave

Most businesses have solid foundations. But what if one critical pillar is missing?

This Wednesday, 6 May 2026, at BNI Riverside – Brisbane, Paul van Barneveld from Brave will be our featured presenter.

In this session, Paul will present ‘The Forgotten Pillar of Business’, exploring why brand strategy is often overlooked as a core discipline, despite its role in connecting a business to its customers.

Many businesses focus heavily on legal structures, financial management and resourcing. Yet the strategic layer that defines who the business is, who it serves, and the value it creates is often underdeveloped or missing entirely.

Paul will share how a clear brand strategy moves beyond logos and visual identity to become a practical business tool. One that helps clarify positioning, sharpen decision making and create stronger, more meaningful connections with customers.

Without this foundation, businesses can struggle to articulate their value, marketing becomes reactive, and growth is harder to sustain.

This session will provide practical insight into how brand strategy can sit alongside other core business pillars and play a central role in building a stronger, more aligned business.

Who should hear this presentation?
• Business owners who want greater clarity in how they position and communicate their business
• Organisations looking to better understand and connect with their customers
• Professionals supporting clients with strategy, growth and market positioning

If you want to better understand how your business connects what it does to why it matters, this session is worth attending.

Visitors are always welcome at BNI Riverside. Join us this Wednesday morning at the United Service Club in Spring Hill to hear Paul, meet the chapter, and gain a new perspective on one of the most overlooked drivers of business success.

Feature Presenter - 29 April 2026 - Scott Anderson – RiverLegal

What happens when a Will is clear, but a family member challenges it after death?

This Wednesday, 29 April 2026, at BNI Riverside – Brisbane, Scott Anderson from RiverLegal will be our featured presenter. Scott specialises in Wills and Estate Planning, helping individuals and families put clear, legally sound plans in place to protect their assets and support their loved ones.

In this session, Scott will walk through a recent deceased estate dispute from the Victorian Court of Appeal, highlighting how even a well-intentioned Will can lead to complex and costly challenges. The case centres on an elderly mother who intended to leave her estate equally to her seven adult children. Despite having a Will that reflected this, one child brought a claim seeking a significantly greater share of the estate. Scott will use this case as the basis for a practical discussion, including:
• What steps could have been taken during the mother’s lifetime to reduce the risk of a claim
• What courts consider when determining family provision claims
• What other family members should do if a claim is brought

Who should hear this presentation?
• Individuals and families who do not yet have a Will in place
• People with family arrangements that may impact estate planning decisions
• Professionals such as accountants and financial advisors supporting clients with long-term planning

If you want to understand how estate disputes arise and how to reduce the risk of them happening in your own family, this is a session worth attending.

Visitors are always welcome at BNI Riverside. Join us this Wednesday morning at the United Service Club in Spring Hill to hear Scott’s presentation, meet the chapter, and gain practical insight into protecting your wishes and your family.

Feature Presenter – 22 April 2026 - Anne Meagher

What should you do when you receive a notice from the ATO, and which ones matter most?

This Wednesday at BNI Riverside – Brisbane, we welcome Anne Meagher, Director at SV Partners, as our featured presenter.

Anne specialises in helping business owners and individuals understand their financial position early so they can make informed decisions with clarity and dignity.

Anne will speak about the current insolvency landscape in Australia and the options available when someone is facing financial difficulties, whether personally or within their corporate structure. She will explain why seeking help early can open up far more solutions than waiting until the situation becomes critical.

In this session, Anne will walk through two real case examples that highlight the difference early intervention can make. One involves a personal insolvency, being bankruptcy, and the other a corporate insolvency, being liquidation. Both examples involve significant ATO debt and ignored notices, ultimately leading to Anne’s appointment as either trustee or liquidator.

Who should hear this presentation?
• Business owners experiencing cash flow pressure or financial uncertainty
• Individuals facing personal debt challenges
• Professionals such as accountants and financial advisors who support clients through periods of financial strain

If you or your clients would benefit from understanding the early warning signs of insolvency and the pathways available, this is a session not to be missed.
Join us this Wednesday at the United Service Club in Spring Hill, Brisbane, to hear Anne and connect with a community of professionals who support each other through trusted referrals.

Feature Presentation - 08 April 2026 - John Ellis

Do you know what your life insurance inside super actually covers, and more importantly, what it doesn’t?

This week at BNI Riverside – Brisbane, John Ellis from Pilot Life Insurance will be our featured presenter.

John specialises in personal and business risk insurance, helping individuals, families and business owners protect their income, lifestyle and financial stability when it matters most.

In this session, John will focus on the pitfalls of life insurance held within industry super funds. While many people assume they are adequately covered, the reality is that policies held within super can often fall short in terms of definitions, coverage limits and claim outcomes.

John will walk through some of the common gaps and misconceptions and explain how these policies differ from tailored insurance solutions. The aim is to help people better understand their current position and avoid unexpected outcomes at the point where support is needed most.

Who should hear this presentation?
• Business owners and professionals relying on insurance within superannuation
• Individuals with dependants or financial obligations
• Anyone wanting to understand whether their current cover is actually fit for purpose

If you have insurance through your super and have not reviewed it recently, this is a session worth attending.

Visitors are always welcome at BNI Riverside. Join us this Wednesday morning at the United Service Club in Spring Hill to hear John, meet the chapter, and gain clarity on how to better protect yourself and your family.
