Nathalie Brown, Easy Peasy Kids
Bio The path that led her to this point
My career has always involved children, starting over 20 years ago as a teacher.
I gradually moved into studying and researching child behaviour, as I like to think outside the box and believe every child deserves as many chances as necessary to lead a happy childhood.
My focus is creating a bigger picture as to why a child may be exhibiting certain behaviours and using their strengths and likes to change their current patterns of behaviour.
My business started purely from referrals and has now grown well beyond anything I ever imagined.
Q&A Insider advice & tips
What's been your greatest achievement to date?
I cannot pinpoint one specific achievement as when I work with families and their children, seeing positive life changes on a daily basis makes me happy. Oh and winning The Bupa Influencer Award in the Family time category.
What's been your biggest challenge so far?
My challenge is time management. I have an 17 year old daughter and a 8 year old son which I love to spend time with. As the business has grown I now have staff that help me immensely.
Best lesson you've learned along the way?
My best lesson would be to value my time.
A website, book or resource that has helped you in your business or inspired you and why?
I love Google Apps especially their calendars, it allows my PA to make my appointments and see my family events too, so fingers crossed no more double bookings.
Which person or brand do you most admire and why?
I admire many people. One that really stands out is Emma Isaacs from Business Chicks.
What advice would you give someone starting an independent business in your industry?
Follow your heart, not what others say.
