Manage episode 291372100 series 2862400
Welcome to Episode 9 of TFC Talks! So happy to have you here!
This week Hannah interviews Cheryl Dodd from BizKidz!
Cheryl’s first 12 yrs. in business were spent in Retail Management roles, for M&S and later Debenhams across Stores and based in their London Head Office.
It was when Cheryl had her first baby that she realised that a London ‘Career’ just didn’t work for her any more… and that was when Starz Ballet®️ was born!
Today, 10 yrs. later, Starz Ballet has an amazing team of professional dance teachers and ex-professional ballerinas all running their own chunk of Starz Ballet®️ (all Starz Ballet®️ teachers are also members of the Starz partnership). Starz Ballet has around 800 pupils attending classes weekly and an online membership & courses, as well as events and theatre shows.
Cheryl also collaborates with Hampshire Gymnastics clubs, offering their professional coaches work in her Dynamix Gymnastix Clubs which operate across Primary Schools in Hampshire. This solves a problem for parents and kids as the provision of gymnastics is scarce but also supports Coaches and clubs with paid work and talent spotting.
During the lockdown, Cheryl created new brands BizKidz®️ & Teenpreneur®️ and has supported nearly 100 kids to lead their learning, planning and many launching their own money-making businesses! There are digital courses, interactive live programs, and a supportive membership for kids in business to hang out safely together on the new BizKidz platform.
Cheryl and Hannah chat about how she used her corporate knowledge to grow her businesses, the amazing talent of the BizKidz she works with now plus Cheryl shares her top tips for starting a business based her her own journey and what she has learnt along the way!
