I heard about Jennie and the Athenaship programme when I was at a turning point in my career. Did I continue with a job that was financially secure but sometimes unrewarding or did I allow myself to picture a different working life, still working in a field I love but on my terms by starting my own limited company. As a mum of two very small children, I knew what I wanted to do but also knew I had to do it properly if it were to succeed. While figuring out the foundations of my company, I wanted a sounding board/ a mentor/ a coach/ a cheerleader, something I didn’t know existed until I came across Jennie who is all of these things and more! Jennie challenged me to consider who I am, the strengths I have and how those translate into the business world so I did a lot of self-searching and introspective thinking before creating my company. She helped me deal with criticism, hurdles and even successes and praise (because they’re hard to hear about too!) Mixing psychology with business acumen, exercises with hands-on, on the job guidance and critique, Jennie kept me flying straight when there were so many moving parts. I’m so grateful that I discovered her at the very beginning of my journey and know that it’s made me and my business stronger because of her input. If anyone is in a similar position, I highly recommend reaching out!
