A big hello from our training facilitators in JHB
Taryn-lee Kearney here – a major Training enthusiast!
As founder of Boardroom Couch, I am proud to have developed a business that educates and empowers others through skills development. From a young age, I have always had this desire to help people, may it be from helping a friend with homework they didn’t understand to helping a friend overcome a challenge in order to pursue their dreams. My passion is people!
I strongly believe and trust in people’s abilities, they just sometimes need a nudge and an AWESOME reminder of how great they can be!
My greatest yearning as a skills development facilitator is to motivate individuals to; never stop learning!
Here’s some extra juicy things about me..
I absolutely am addicted to travel, food and romantic comedy movies (loads of popcorn is necessary).
Like to think I am a kickass mother to an incredible energetic daughter and wife to an upcoming pilot (for now successful Entrepreneur).
There is something about colours that absolutely excites me, especially when I see pictures of Morocco (my dream destination), shhh… no one knows but I love to belly dance – been watching some YouTube tutorials! Watch this space! LOL
