We had the good fortune of connecting with Rhonda Pearson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Rhonda, how do you think about risk?
Risk is an inherent aspect of life, and it plays a crucial role in personal and professional development. Taking risks can lead to both opportunities and challenges, but when approached wisely, it can be a catalyst for growth and success.

In business, calculated risks are indeed essential. This means thoroughly evaluating potential outcomes, understanding the consequences, and making informed decisions. Taking measured risks allows businesses to innovate, expand, and adapt to changing market demands. Without risks, businesses may stagnate and miss out on opportunities for growth and improvement.

When risks are managed well, they can lead to the identification of unmet customer needs and the development of solutions that meet those demands. This kind of forward-thinking approach can give a business a competitive edge and help it thrive in dynamic and competitive markets.

Embracing risk has enabled me to venture into unexplored areas where assistance was required and cater to the demands of customers effectively.

Garden Park! I love Sundays there. This is the perfect brunch spot to enjoy bottomless mimosas, great food and music!
