Intervention: CoRe

A mind-shift indeed. 

Isaac never once considered exploring business opportunities outside of his fashion design work as he felt he needed to focus. Each passing day of the CoRe lessons changed his paradigm about business. He shares his story:

My name is Isaac Agyare, from Accra in the Greater Accra region, and a proud beneficiary of the CoRe Programme. I am a fashion designer but the outbreak of COVID–19 seriously hampered the progress of my business due to the accompanying lockdowns and restrictions. I shared my challenges with a counsellor in my church called Abishag. She subsequently introduced me to the CoRe mentoring programme. I am forever grateful to have had this opportunity.

CoRe equipped me with the knowledge I needed to be able to start and manage multiple businesses. I learnt how to practically set money aside, to save for my business. As a result, I have changed certain ways of doing things. I have mustered the courage required to start a new business. My interpersonal skills have also improved greatly, and this is reflecting in the quality of relationships with my customers.

My perspective about business has totally changed. I now realize that many of the world’s business tycoons have invested in diverse related businesses rather than just one. This has shifted my thinking on the subject matter.

I am most grateful to the CoRe programme for making this possible.
