I did a blogging challenge this time last year but had guest posts too. This year I'm aiming to do every post myself.
Today's aim is to introduce myself and tell you a little bit about me and what I do.
I'm 32 years old and have been in business for 8 years past September. I have just come full cycle in a series of life events that have had both a positive and negative impact on my life. But as of midnight last night those ten years are over and a new phase has begun.
My background is Agriculture having a BSc hons in Animal Science from Aberdeen Uni. I was an Animal welfare officer for three years before embarking on the self employment path. I started as an Agricultural Advisor and quickly learned my skills were transferrable over many industries.
I now work with clients from all sectors from retailers to financial advisors to photographer, publishers, personal trainers etc. I provide support onsite or virtually to fill a gap or need in a business. This may be short term or long term. Regularly or ad hoc. From as little as once a quarter to as often as once a week. This fully flexible service is ideally suited to small/medium businesses as it allows them to plug a skills gap or need in their business without the commitment of employing someone permanently. This is also more cost effective too.
Tasks can range from general admin, to marketing, sourcing suppliers, PR, project management to event management. The list is endless.
I look forward to sharing more with you over the month and look forward to reading your blogs too.
If you would like to find out more about what I can do for your business drop me an email to hiya@karinmcgivern.co.uk
Take care speak tomorrow.

Thanks for sharing your story Karin. It's always good to know who is behind a blog :-)

Karin,
ReplyDeleteYou are at the beginnings (in my opinion) of a revolutionary way that we can serve one another. Way to adapt with the needs of today's entrepreneurs and business pros! I will keep you in mind for "hats" that are more challenging for me to "wear" in my coaching business. Take care!
Best of luck with your business in 2014, Karin!
