Principal and
founder of ‘Success through Focus’, Morris is in constant demand
as a business futurist and consultant to some of Australia’s

provides his expertise to start-up and growing businesses. Morris
also works with thousands of CEOs and key decision makers around
the world, as a guide and business mentor.
Educated at

President
Philip's
Message
With the Festive Season now on
our doorstep, it is not only a time to think about our families and
friends, but also those in need who will not be as fortunate to
share in good food or gift-giving. We can help those in our Club’s
surrounds by donating a food product for inclusion in a hamper for
our Christmas Present Response Scheme. SP AusNet, a business in our
community will also be coordinating the collection of food and other
products to make up hampers for our Club to distribute. ...
