Success Stories

Louise Triance & Angela Cripps interview...
'The one with...'

Success Stories is designed to give you the opportunity to hear from people who have 'been there, done that!'

Either Louise of Angela interviewed someone from the Recruitment Industry who has been successful at starting their own recruitment business.

We asked them the same 10 questions and delve d into what makes them who they are.

The Questions:

  1. What was the impending event that meant you wanted to start a start-up?
  2. What gives you confidence?
  3. What were you like as a child?
  4. How do you decide what takes priority?
  5. If you're at a networking event, sitting next to someone that you don't know. How do you strike up a really meaningful conversation?
  6. How do you tell somebody that they are wrong?
  7. How do you maintain a posiitve atmosphere in a business?
  8. What do you do to get motivated, when you're just not feeling it?
  9. What book changed your life?
  10. What have you done to help others during the pandemic?

Why our courses work

  • Coaching Support

    You have the community in the Gym and the live webinars to get your questions and queries answered. We're a friendly bunch with positive attitudes, but that doesn't mean that we skip over the tough questions/situations.

  • Answering the question!

    Having someone else to ask to get an answer to your questions and queries, give you advice on your own business or desk challenges, can make the world of difference to your motivation to getting it done!

  • Learn from the best

    Knowing what's required... is just the starting point to success. The attitude and capabilities come from within you, so why not learn from the best and how they did it.
