Why Safe Spaces Matter in Business (and What I Learned From a Surprise Talk!)

In this episode of Grow Your Tutoring Business, I share my reflections on speaking at the Reading Doctor Festival, hosted by Deborah Salsbury. It was a powerful reminder of the importance of safe spaces in business—places where tutors, franchisees, and educators can show up, share ideas, and grow with confidence. I talk about adaptability (especially when your talk overlaps with another speaker’s!), investing in community, and what it truly means to support the people who represent your brand.I also dive into some of the key takeaways from the event—including the power of local marketing, the overlooked value of leafleting, and why showing up in-person still matters. If you’ve ever felt torn between your passion for education and your love of business, this episode is for you. I wrap up with a personal challenge: have you found your space to talk openly about both? If not, let’s help you find one. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
