Vox Pops! Meet TJ Mauheni-Zacharias, the founder and CEO of Konnect Koncepts, where HR, recruitment, and payroll are made a whole lot simpler. What started as a one-person consultancy in 2015 has grown into a trusted people-and-process partner for businesses across New Zealand and Australia.

TJ is one of our newer members to the chapter, and has very quickly made himself at home with our business savvy, friendly crew.

He's also a secret nerd, which we love.

Keen to konnect with like-minded people who can have a good laugh while doing great business? Contact us to come along as a visitor to our Goal Achievers BNI chapter in Albany. Now with better coffee!

Vox Pops! This is Gaelene Adams Love from Team Fusion International Ltd, and she is a founding member of our Goal Achievers chapter. She’s the kind of person who makes business feel a little brighter, a whole lot more fun, all while making sure that things get done.

Behind the warmth and the laughs, Gaelene helps award-winning businesses, couples in business together, and individual owners face a bigger truth: when your business starts taking more than it gives, it becomes the mistress in your relationship. She helps you escape the Money, Time and Freedom Trap™ and build a business that fuels your relationship and your life, instead of draining it.

She is also hilarious, and calls it exactly like she sees it.

If you've ever wondered whether your business has quietly become your mistress, and what it would take to get your relationship, your time and your money back, then Gaelene is the person to talk to.

Vox Pops! This is Bish from Bolster, and he is one of the founding members of our Goal Achievers chapter.

Behind the laughs, Dom helps business owners see a bigger truth: your business should be an asset that grows value, not just a job that consumes your time. If your business can’t run without you, it’s time to build something stronger, smarter, and more scalable. He can help you to do that.

He is also a caffeine fiend and we love that for him.

If you as a business owner have ever wondered what will happen when you are ready to retire, and how to assure your loved ones are provided for, then Dom is the person to talk to.

Vox Pops! This is Fereena from Rothbury. Not only is she an expert in all things insurance, she is also our current Secretary/Treasurer in the Goal Achievers chapter.

Fereena goes above and beyond for her clients. In fact, she has been rated within the top five Rothbury insurance brokers in Aotearoa!

She has shared stories with us of how her clients called her in a panic, after something unexpected and significant had just happened. Without fail, she was able to support them through the process, and get them the best possible outcome from their coverage. In the situations where it becomes clear that they need something different, Fereena does not shy away from having those conversations. She operates with integrity, showing empathy, while telling people what they really need to know about insurance. Sounds like someone worth having on your team, right? Sweetbix.

It's hardly surprising given she eats the breakfast of champions.

If you have questions about insurance, have a chat to Fereena from Rothbury.

Want to network with people who will actually pick up the phone and give you good advice? Check out our Goal Achievers chapter https://auckland.bni.co.nz/auckland-bni-goal-achievers/en-NZ/index

Vox Pops! Meet Chris Waters from Watershed Brand Lab.

Chris is an expert in all things brand: spoiler alert, your logo is only one piece of it. He is also our Goal Achievers Event Coordinator and Harbour Hospice Champion.

Chris believes in shifting the world by design. Using creativity and graphics to tell stories that stand out, get noticed, and feel real.

He also thinks Times is the worst font. Comic Sans loves to see it.

Last Friday we were fortunate enough to hear from Refresh Renovations Auckland Central - Neil Chand who gave the 10 minute presentation at BNI Goal Achievers.

Neil has been in the construction industry for over 28 years, and has seen it all. Through this time he has developed not only his skills, but his business principles and integrity. For Neil, delivering projects on time, on budget, and on spec is an every-day occurrence (yes really).

One of the key things he spoke about was that his team approach projects from a place of strong planning rather than uncertainty. He shared that it is common for people to receive free quotes from other companies who make big promises, and then can't deliver on them. Or if they can, it is only after blowing the budget and/or the timeline.

Instead, Refresh Renovations have a tried and tested system that allows them to provide accurate estimates, with specific details mapped out from the very beginning. Property owners know exactly what they're going to get, when it will be done, and what it will cost them.

Sounds like a winning formula to us!
