Why Me? Why Now?

Founder / Recruitment Specialist

Integrity, Kindness, Compassion

I ask myself this question daily and my answer has remained the same so let me share with you.

Straight after secondary school I entered the convent and there is where I continued my personal growth and development which was based on principles and values. It is my belief that there are standards of behaviour about what is important in life. Integrity, Kindness, Compassion and Honesty are examples of what I would consider to be commonly held values. My values are the things that I believe are important in the way I live and work. Principles help me stay focused on what is important and keep me aligned with my values even when the herd is pushing a different way. They give me a foundation to stand on so I can say or do what in the moment might be unpopular but what I believe is truthful and right. I anchor myself and my business in values over profit, in people over gain and accountability over unaccountability. In my limited experience I have seen the way business should not be conducted and how values and principles have been ignored for profit and gain. I believe that I can make a difference and this is my answer to Why me?

Why Now? Simply put it is a product of redundancy and covid. Having been made redundant twice in 3 years I decided it was time to do for myself in the limited number of working years that remain for me. I want to be the change and in time and over time see the difference. NOW is the optimal time to be the leader of change in the recruitment Industry and indeed in business. We are at a crossroads where we are coming out of a once in a lifetime experience and we are re-starting. This is my mission that people will be put before profit and that a portion of the profit that is made is put back into people. The Here and Now is the only time we have, yesterday is no longer and tomorrow never comes, today is the day to act, be kind and be bold with your acts of kindness. Show example, be dependable, efficient, honest, reliable, be loyal, show commitment and stay positive.
