Edwina Sharrock OAM and her business learnings from Birth Beat
Edwina Sharrock OAM is an extreme extrovert - its true she's done the tests - and rather than trying to quieten her spirit she's run with it - and achieved a LOOOOTT.
Edwina grew up in Tamworth, went away and returned. Now she lives with her husband, two children and fave child-dog Daryl on five acres in a house her husband build just outside of town.
This story is not really about Edwina's life but about her growth as an incredible business woman in rural Australia.
Her business Birth Beat - started as a birthing course for locals in her living room and segued into a recognised and respected anti-natal course utilised by most of the large hospitals in Sydney and big corporate employers such as SalesForce. There was a little run for her money on Shark Tank also thrown in there and now the business has been sold to Device Technologies, an Australian based Med -Tech company.
She the Deputy Chair of the Hunter New England Central Coast Primary Health Network and the Co-Chair of the Telstra Regional Council.
She was the National winner of the Commonwealth Bank 21-day Challenge Innovation Award,
a Google Regional Online Hero, Nominated for Hesta Nurse/Midwife of the Year, winner of NSW Telstra small business award, Oceana alumni of the Cartier Women's Initiative and listed in the AFR 100 women influence.
So I guess you can imagine that the last 18 months since selling Birth Beat have been a challenging transition - but she's back in the fold - and here to share her learnings.
This is a Manson Podcasting Production in partnership with Rabobank Australia.
