Join us for an exclusive LinkedIn Live session with Rebecca Newenham, founder of Get Ahead, as we dive into the journey of building a business around the common thread of flexibility in work.
For 14 years, Rebecca has championed the idea that work should fit around life, not the other way around. Today, her business supports over 80 virtual experts and nine franchisees, all of whom share a passion for flexibility, family time, and meaningful work.
In this session, we’ll explore:
– Rebecca’s inspiring journey: How she turned her desire to work with flexibility into a thriving business
– The challenges she faced and the lessons she learned along the way
– How to find your thing — whether you’re at the beginning of your career, considering a change, or ready to start a new venture
Why Attend?
This event is perfect for anyone seeking flexibility in their work life or inspiration to follow their passion. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a professional seeking a new path, or someone looking for a better work-life balance and flexibility, Rebecca’s experience will provide valuable insights and practical advice.
Notable Quotes
- The reason why I did what I did was to launch our girls into the world, and I feel very much like I’ve done that.
- When you’re talking passionately about something you believe in, that’s when the magic happens.
- Running your own business can be lonely and isolating, and I often laugh and say I probably wouldn’t be married or have any friends left if I hadn’t had that external support.
- I think it’s having the confidence to recognise your skills. Obviously, I’m biased by the outsourcing bit, but having the confidence to ship certain things out to other people was a big learning curve for me.
- I certainly wasn’t an extrovert at school, so it shows that if you’re doing the right thing, your energy is in the right place, and everything comes together.
- People can really pick up if you’re not being true to yourself, so being authentic and saying, “Actually, I’m struggling with this, can you help me?” is important because people always want to help.
