Living and learning

Kym Huynh is the founder and owner of WeTeachMe, a booking site for workshops and classes – anything from dressmaking to pottery to baking sourdough. He realises, however, that he’s not needed there anymore.

“It came to the point that I would walk into the room filled with ideas,” he says. “Then I would find that my staff had implemented them already. My job was done. I have recruited people better than me, and I just needed to step back and get out of their way. They are taking WeTeachMe to the next stage.”

He trusts that whatever decisions they make, and whatever projects they want to start and champion, he will support them. He sees his job as being to remove any roadblocks and to cheerlead for them. Otherwise, he steps back and gets out of their way.
