How a Trip to Africa Transformed a Career – from Corporate Executive to Successful Business Owner. | RR142

Kim Troy, the Founder & CEO of Civilis Consulting, had a very successful career, had climbed the corporate ladder and was doing very well – but discovered that there was more to life than the financial success in her corporate world. She shares her fascinating story in this interview.

Kim has developed a niche working with businesses and organizations in which trusting relationships are critical – helping clients use digital channels not for broadcasting but for relationship building.

In this episode you will learn:

How Kim’s vacation in Africa detoured her career from corporate executive to business owner

Since the digital world is everything today, we have to work harder than ever before to stay connected to each other as humans

No slick digital dashboards or marketing automation can ever take the place of good old-fashioned relationship building

Watch for signs… Listen to your gut, make sure that you are really where you belong
