The Girl Boss Chat Series

Pip is a straight shooting business owner.  Bamboo Consulting helps salon owners, and their teams, to work smarter not harder.  Bamboo puts strategies and systems in place to stop the business feeling like a burden! Bamboo also helps business owners take control of their business and educates them so that they can run their business with knowledge, not just hopping from one drama to the next.  Pip is a hairdresser by trade, and went on to spend many years as Salon Co-ordinator for some large salons,  and so her knowledge of the inside workings of a salon is a real advantage.

When Pip isn't working, she is a busy mum of 2 and a wife, plus she tries to keep fit and is always up for an adventure, or a coffee or wine (or all three ;))

Helen Sian India is the founder of Yoga LIVE. She helps women feel in-control and proud of their progression with self-respect and mental health. The group meets LIVE 3x a week, in the comfort of your own home so you have the opportunity to socialize if you want to, but also have the freedom to roll out of bed and practice in your pj's with crazy hair and last night's make-up on! The 20 minute sessions helps you get more in-control of our thoughts, our emotions and our inner strength, so we can keep achieving in our jobs, keep our cool with tired kids, and nod and agree politely to frustrating bosses. And it's ONLY a tiny investment of $10 a month, so it's much easier to justify finally putting ourselves first.

Lisa runs a social impact business called Social Currency, which is a purpose driven accounting firm committed to giving away 10% of sales to supporting at risk kiwi kids through mentoring programs and charity partnerships. Social Currency does accounting, tax, business advisory, supports social enterprises and creates social impact reports for purpose driven businesses making an impact and wanting to share their story.

Lisa has been working as an accountant since 2008 and is a Chartered Accountant working with lots of different types of people and businesses all over New Zealand, and some across the ditch.

With a passion for what she does and the charities she supports coming from a personal struggle against the odds, Lisa's son is very much the driving force behind her determination. She knew that failure was not an option, and success is no coincidence.
The purpose of Social Currency is to be a positive impact in the lives of vulnerable young people in New Zealand, and is well on the way to fulfilling the mission having already donated $7,000 to supporting at-risk kiwi kids since November 2017.
