Today, we have the pleasure of gleaning from the experience of Changemaker Mum, Heidi Conway.
Even while earning a six-figure salary and a career in the corporate world, Heidi had always been open to MORE. So when she received that phone call—that probably many of us got at some point—from her expensive private school that her boys were disengaged, one wasn't focusing well, and the other wasn't writing, she knew she had to do something.
Taking a good look at what success looks like for her, Heidi made the big decision: she opted to leave her corporate career and to home-educate her young boys.
Seven months into building confidence, resilience, and willingness to learn, a whole new world of home education has opened up and now she has combined her passion for coaching with all that she's discovered for her boys through a new form of education called genius learning.
Heidi and I have crossed paths a number of times in the homeschooling world and the coaching world and we have a lot in common with the amazing work she's been doing with Changemaker Teens and Changemaker Mums. It's been great to get to catch up with heidi, especially coming off the back an international homeschooling conference in the UK.
