I can proudly say that I really don't confidently know my 7 times tables....and that I am totally fine with it! I never was captivated by maths but managed to do an Economics degree and get a Distinction is Econometrics.....⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

If you want something bad enough you will find a way to learn what you don't know and achieve what other might think is impossible. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

✌ When I was about 7 I used to count on my fingers and my Mum scolded me as she though I should be able to do all the sums in my head.... turns out I learn visually and retain information from what I have seen not what I heard. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

👩🏫My parents were pretty lax with education so I would beg to stay home from school each Monday in Year 3 as our witch of a principal Miss Gordon would have us for Maths. So I loved staying home with my grandmother watching Days of Our Lives and young and the Restless... every Monday for a whole year.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

📚To those of us who are home schooling at the moment.... don't stress the small things... I don't think they are important. Teaching our children good decision making skills and resilience on the other hand are huge component of their learning..... remember we are teaching them just by being ourselves.... what they see and hear they will replicate ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

💃You need to be a little be odd, unusual, different, left of centre, cray cray to stand out from the crowd, to dance to the beat of your own drum and not be hypnotised by the white noise that can be coming from every angle. I just love the statement " You have to be odd to be #1".... a little maths with a little tongue in cheek.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🤸♀️Being both a Business and Confidence Coach I love seeing how individuality in leadership, when embraced, can be your most powerful investment. When you remember how incredible all your oddities are you will thrive and this will be your point of difference.....
