ABOUT THE SEMINAR
“Somebody should’ve done something… Then I realised I’m somebody”
04 SEPT 2025 | 10:15
A talk on strategy, reinvention, and making things happen — joyfully
When things stall, many businesses look around and ask, “Who’s fixing this?” The truth? Nobody’s coming. Somebody should’ve done something — and that somebody is you.
In this energising, grounded, and often quirky talk, Monique Chinnah shares what it really takes to reinvent your business — and yourself — with precision, joy, and no fluff. You’ll walk away with practical strategy tools, a powerful mindset shift, and a reminder that strategy is a verb — just like love. It’s something you do.
If you’re ready to stop waiting and start tweaking, this is your sign.
