Renu Ballantine is the mastermind and culinary maestro behind Chef Renu B, a private chef service based in Surrey with Chef Ballantine at the forefront of the action and decision making.

Renu joins Anthea this week to talk about the passion that ignited her business empire, the path she took through the corporate world, why diversity and inclusion mater so much, and her insatiable drive for success - one that led her to taking decisive action when it mattered, and which has now paid off handsomely in terms of business success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Those with a true entrepreneurial spirit often feel the need to break through the societal expectations placed upon us, especially in terms of career. Entrepreneurs are always looking for a way to work with their passions.
• Those who disregard the talent pool available by opening the door to inclusion are missing out on making their companies truly great.
• The world of being a private chef is incredibly competitive, and the best rise to the top through a combination of credibility and talent.
• The world of business and personal growth becomes stagnant if we are not pushing ourselves to do better, to learn more, to discover new tools within ourselves. Stepping outside of our comfort zone is a natural step towards growth.

BEST MOMENTS

'We championed women, We celebrated women. We coached women'

'If I'm not learning new things then it can get boring. It can feel as though I am not progressing'
