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.
