🌟 Mentor vs. Manager: Both Matter, But Only One Transforms 🌟 Thrilled to share that my husband, Sean Nicholas, has been honored with the inaugural Outstanding Mentor in Planning Award! His dedication to nurturing the growth of others is something truly special—and it highlights a key difference between a mentor and a manager. 📌 A Manager oversees tasks, ensures deadlines are met, and drives organizational success. They provide direction and support but often within structured goals and timelines. 📌 A Mentor, like Sean, does something more. Mentors empower, inspire, and invest in the person, not just the role. They encourage others to explore, ask questions, make mistakes, and build confidence. Sean’s mentorship has helped countless planners reach new heights by embracing curiosity, continuous learning, and resilience. Here’s to Sean and all the amazing mentors who lead with heart and vision, nurturing the next generation of leaders. 🧡 🏆 🍊 #Mentorship #Planning #Leadership #CareerGrowth #OutstandingMentor #ProudMoment

I’m really impressed with my clients at Count Accountants for being recognised as finalists in THREE categories in these forthcoming business awards. 👉Founder John Mauchline invited me to work with, not his business for growth strategy, but his TEAM. His approach from that very first conversation about empowering his team to steer the growth of the company as they are most connected to the customers, is reflected in being a finalist for Employer of The Year. 👉The work we did together as one large team went deep into customer experince, as a service business it’s the core of all growth activity and over many weeks we explored requirements before designing solutions. So wonderful recognition of the teams work to see them finalists for Excellence in Customer Service. 💫This is why the resulting finalist recognition for Business Growth award doesn’t surprise me, when your people and your clients are at the heart of all your planning, growth results! It’s rare for this team to talk about themselves, they are all about their clients. So much so if you set foot in their offices you’ll be served coffee and delicious treats from thier own clients that are businesses in hospitality. They provide clients with referrals and relentlessly pursue good causes you may never hear about. They do this to support their community, not marketing. So please join me in celebrating their recognition! 👏 And if you’re looking for a good accountancy service… 👇🏼 Count Accountants Good luck team 🙌 #businessgrowth #customercentric #team
