Your Biz

Many of us are currently juggling business and the kids. And let’s be honest, it’s not easy.

Gone are the days of knowing our work schedules, when school starts and finishes, and having clear boundaries between work and family life.

For me having just one of my kids at home each day has meant lots of late nights at the computer, work on weekends, staying up late thinking about work and feeling guilty about not being totally present at work or with my kids.

In this episode, I chat to Shane Fixter from Teachers Australia about surviving homeschooling and getting work done.

We chat:

- Screen time

- Learning resources

- The ups and downs of balancing business and children at home

Shane Fixter is the Founder of Teachers Australia. His company has assisted government to provide Primary, Secondary and Tertiary students to parents, carers and community Support Programs since 2015. Teachers Australia is like Airbnb and Uber for teachers and students.

If any Primary, Secondary or Tertiary student in Australia is struggling with their learning or would like to supplement their current education, Teachers Australia allows its users to carefully select their own teacher and watch them travelling to their location using their app.

Since 2015, they have provided over 2000 hours of education to Aussie kids.

Students can track teachers directly to their location or learn online in the safety of their own home.

Teachers Australia donates 2% of every transaction back to kids in care and indigenous students to assist government in “CLOSING THE GAP” a major federal government initiative.

In light of the current COVID 19 situation, Shane has allowed everyone to use the Teachers Australia platform free of charge up until the June July school holidays.

Roz White joins me on the Your Biz podcast to talk about adapting during times of crisis.

As the owner of 5 independent grocery stores and key essential services for the community, Roz and her team had to move, diversify, and remodel to ensure the safety of customers and the delivery of goods during the #covid19 pandemic.

Tune in to this episode as we chat all things:

⭐️ collaboration and communication in crisis 

⭐️ team management and staff safety

⭐️ planning for the future beyond Covid.

Today I'm chatting to Executive Director, Executive Coach, Leader and Strengths Expert, Justin Clarke.

What do we mean when we talk about our strengths?

It's all to do with who are you and what makes you tick.

Did you know that statistically, there is no one else in Australia who has the same top five strengths as you do?  This makes your unique set of talents pretty special.

Tune in to learn:

- Whether there are certain types of people who are more likely to succeed than others?

- Do all CEO's and multi-millionaires have the same or similar strengths? 

- How can we enable our strengths and leverage our individual talents to succeed? 

- How can you use knowledge of individual strengths to build a dream team for your business?
