Her transition into the art world allowed her to explore creativity outside her corporate background, making thank-you gifts for customers that were highly appreciated for their personal touch.Nancy discusses the importance of self-care, taking time to relax and recharge amidst a busy schedule, and the positive effects it has on productivity and mental well-being. She emphasizes continuous appreciation and feedback for employees, avoiding surprises during annual reviews. Transitioning into a new industry, Nancy highlights adapting skills from her corporate experience to manage her business effectively, despite initial challenges like opening just before the COVID-19 pandemic.
