1. Purpose of the group

This is a private WhatsApp community for business owners, leaders and professionals. The group exists to encourage discussion, knowledge sharing, problem-solving and mutual support.

Members are expected to contribute in a constructive and respectful manner.

2. Be respectful

• Treat other members with courtesy and professionalism.
• Healthy debate is encouraged, but personal attacks, harassment, discrimination, intimidation or disruptive behaviour will not be tolerated.
• Challenge ideas, not individuals.

Content shared within the group must be lawful, respectful and suitable for a professional audience. The following are not permitted:

• Illegal or unlawful content
• Hate speech or discriminatory content
• Offensive, explicit or inappropriate material
• Fraudulent schemes, misleading promotions or similar activities

4. No spam or unsolicited selling

The primary purpose of the group is discussion and knowledge sharing, not advertising. Members should not:

• Send unsolicited direct messages to other members
• Use the group primarily as a sales channel

Members are welcome to share relevant projects, achievements, resources or services where they add value to the discussion.

5. Stay relevant

Discussions should generally relate to business, leadership, technology, innovation, operations, growth, networking or related topics.

Occasional informal conversation is welcome, provided it remains respectful and does not dominate the group.

Members should respect the privacy of others.

Do not share, reproduce, screenshot, forward or publish messages, contact details or information from the group without the permission of the individual concerned.
