I was looking for some focus as I had been through a few things that had knocked my confidence, self-esteem and belief in myself that I could do this!
Meet Your Trainer: Jennie Edmondson
Tell us a fascinating fact about yourself?
I ran the Everest Marathon!
What inspires you?
People who grow through adversity.
What made you decide to be a trainer for The Growing Club?
I have a burning desire to help women be their best possible selves.
What are some of the pitfalls for women in business that you’ve experienced?
Some issues I’ve come across personally are: a lack of confidence, a lack of support, dealing with guilt and juggling a family
How can The Growing Club help women to grow their businesses sustainably?
We help by facilitating a space to step outside of your business and look at it objectively. Working ON your business is quite different than working IN it. The Growing Club helps women to get a different perspective to take positive action.
If you could offer one time-saving tip to a woman running her own business, what would it be?
PLAN – Plan your work, work your plan.
Tell us about your training course in Kendal?
I’m very excited to be bringing The Growing Club to Kendal for the first time. We are going to take a journey together that will push you out of your comfort zone and into a new chapter of business growth and personal development. There will be work, laughter, possibly tears – but always cake!
Anything else?
Aim for consistency not perfection: imperfect action is where growth will happen.
One of my favourite quotes is: “Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by change” Jim Rohn
Jennie will be facilitating The Growing Club business growth programme in Kendal. She’s holding a taster session on Thursday 14 March 2019, 10.00-11.30hrs, at Castle Street Community Centre in Kendal. You can book a ticket here.
