Immersing myself in the Derby business community has been incredibly rewarding. I&#8217;ve gained a deeper understanding of how businesses operate and built strong relationships with the owners and other business professionals. The knowledge I&#8217;ve acquired has been invaluable for my own ventures, and helping other business owners turn their ideas into reality has been immensely gratifying. One client\u2019s words will stay with me forever: \u201cYou helped me fall back in love with my business. I wasn\u2019t enjoying it before, and I didn\u2019t know why \u2013 you helped me shine a light on this issue and fix it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Initially, I aimed to create themed Hive groups based on different industries. However, I soon realized that diversity is the key to a vibrant Hive group. The varied perspectives within the group create a dynamic environment that encourages business owners to think outside the box. Witnessing those \u201caha\u201d moments and then working individually with owners to implement ideas is incredibly exciting.<\/p>\n<p>One of my biggest learning curves was understanding that coaching isn\u2019t about sharing my own ideas and suggestions. With the guidance of Paul and David through role play, 1-1 coaching sessions, and group meetings, I\u2019ve refined my approach to help others unlock their potential. When they invite my input, I gladly share, but my primary role is to create an environment where they can navigate their own growth journeys. Mastering this has made seeing their success even more fulfilling.<\/p>\n<p>Hive Thinking is at the heart of everything I do. It energizes me and has allowed me to build strong professional relationships and friendships. Being part of the Derby business community and making a positive impact on our local economy is something I\u2019m truly proud of.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m proud to be Hive Thinking\u2019s first Franchise Owner.
