Confident Conversations is a weekly podcast show for ambitious women about confidently balancing work and life, hosted by me, Sherry Bevan, Author, Coach & Speaker. Because I love having conversations about career and confidence. This week's episode 004 Following last week's conversation with former BBC Apprentice candidate, Aleksandra King, this week I talk to Rebecca Jeffery fired in Week 6, after confusing tagine with tahini and soup for soap. And anyway, how's a Manchester girl supposed to know how far Streatham is from Canary Wharf. Known as Becs, she is a freelance copywriter, bookworm, mum, tea drinker and sausage dog owner. She joined her sister's company 3 years ago; together they have built a successful design & marketing business that fits around life and family. Her business plan for The Apprentice was built around recruiting other parents who want work that works. Our conversation (over a cup of tea, of course) discussed: how lonely it can be working for yourself the pros and cons of running a business with your sister how to make business work around your children she applied for The Apprentice on a whim, encouraged by her brain surgeon brother-in-law outsource the skills you don't have (like accounting which Fi & Becs outsource to their Dad!) being a parent doesn't make you any less ambitious in your career or your business Her top tip for ambitious women "Don't apologise for wanting to work in a different way."
