You have an extremely demanding and responsible job, and yet you emphasize that the most important role in your life is being a mother. Is it possible to learn how to set priorities and how to rank goals?
— It is very important to set priorities, because this is the only way we can strike a balance. But it is also very demanding, it requires huge investment, but also a change in the way of thinking. My priorities have changed in the last seven years since I became a mother, but since childhood I had a clear picture of my future and what I want to give to the environment and the world. I always carry good energy with me, which usually makes people think that everything in my life goes easily. My life path has not always been easy, but it wasn’t ordinary either. That’s why I always try to focus on opportunities with the right risk assessment, and also to set the best example to my daughter. I have a few role models in life, people close to me – each of them because of a certain part of their personality and the art of living. And my greatest success is the fact that I have achieved everything I visualized.
With Balance Company slogan “We build smiles”, are you saying that in the years to come you will also develop corporate culture while creating smiles among your clients and the whole of society?
— I always try to carry a smile with me, because I believe that a smile is the first added value of any relationship, including in business. Happy customers are likely to buy again, to refer someone, and to stay loyal to a brand. In short, customer experience directly impacts loyalty.
