Personal Goal PursuitCareer Break Oct 2016 - Aug 2022Requiring flexibility with a very young family and extended commitments I took a decision to put that on top burner. I also started my tutoring business from scratch at the same time with my passion for maths as the fuel and steadily grew it to four tutoring centres having over 1000 students passing through the doors in 5 years.My experience of being an entrepreneur has given me skills that are transferable to any business; the ability to work in a fluid environment without losing sight of the goal, dealing with customers who may think diametrically opposite and yet deliver results, building trust with employees and customers alike to create my brand value, 'the buck stops here' attitude to problem-solving and being a marketer, networker, accountant, teacher and HR executive - sometimes all in one day!
