Our
Story

The story begins, like many start-ups, with a stint working overseas.

WHAT WE DO: We help organisations build more effective workplaces by connecting established and aspiring leaders to strategic thinkers, bestselling authors, business-critical topics, and proven frameworks and tools wherever they are, whenever they want through live in-person, live virtual and on demand events and content.

WHO WE ARE: A small, but mighty Australian-based company operating out of Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Our diverse team are located along Australia’s eastern-seaboard and the UK.

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN: It was a chance offer to help organise an Anthony Robbins event in London where Karen Beattie first felt the impact on audiences of a world-class speaker… and a spark was ignited that would later become the Growth Faculty.

After organising events for the Certified Practising Accountants Association (CPA) and MYOB to educate thousands of businesses. Karen established Growth Faculty in 2003 to address a gap in the market for powerful leadership content aimed at small businesses.

Over the next two decades...

Our Values

We bring our brilliance

We are committed to consistently delivering exceptional, high-quality, and customer-first learning opportunities, and unreasonable levels of hospitality with a can-do attitude and team spirit.

We embrace big

We are unafraid to set big goals and go for them, both individually and as a team, understanding and accepting that there is more to be learned from trying and failing, than never trying at all.

We amplify and empower the genius in others

We recognise that everyone in our team has something to contribute and provide a space where people feel safe to share ideas. We celebrate all wins, big or small and we’re always seeking opportunities to promote and support our faculty of speakers.

We roll up our sleeves

No job is too small. Our team are willing to do whatever it takes to guarantee our events run smoothly and get consistently better, even if it means taking on a task outside of our comfort zone.

We walk our talk

Like our members, we our lifelong learners who embrace a growth mindset. Collaboration, research, and continuous feedback loops are encouraged to help turn our fly wheel!
