What's your business, and who are your customers?
Learning & Development. Individuals who are seeking a result-driven Executive Coach and companies that want to have a learning and development program that engages employees and delivers SMART goals.
Tell us about yourself
I got started on my business at the beginning of the pandemic as I took time off for self-introspection. This journey led me to want to help people. Being an Executive in an international corporate environment, I made some decisions which, by the insight, I would not have taken if I had in my circle an objective person to coach me! Merged together, these two thoughts led me to Executive Coaching. What drives me every morning is that I know that through my Learning & Development programs, I can help hundreds of people lead better careers, be happier in their jobs and lives and contribute positively to the company that employs them.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
To constantly develop myself to become the best at what I do and find ways to be ahead of the competition.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Loneliness at the top!
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Make sure you are passionate about what you are doing.
- Get a partner or a coach to share ideas and inspirations and to give you the drive when the going gets tough.
- Invest in digital marketing and automated processes to scale your business rapidly.
