Creating an Educational Ecosystem in Cyprus: The Vision Behind ICan 🌍✨ Relocating families face more than just adjusting to a new country — their children encounter unique challenges in adapting to unfamiliar environments. Liudmila Marochkina, CEO at @DC SPORT SOFT LTD, and Director at CAPSBOLD saw an opportunity to create more than just schools. She built a comprehensive ecosystem that supports both children and parents, ensuring seamless transitions and holistic development. 🏫 What Makes ICan Stand Out? 1. Holistic Development: Focusing on emotional, social, and academic growth. 2. Individualized Support: Tailored programs to nurture every child’s potential while helping parents adjust. 3. Lifelong Learning: Preparing children for the complexities of the real world with critical life skills. 💡 Overcoming Challenges From navigating bureaucracy to assembling a world-class team, Liudmila’s determination brought ICan to life. One inspiring story highlights this dedication: When a child arrived at school drenched from a storm, ICan immediately introduced a school bus service — a heartfelt solution that embodies their commitment to care and support. 🌈 A Community Where Families Thrive ICan goes beyond education by fostering cultural diversity, open communication, and adaptive learning environments. The result? A space where both children and parents feel empowered, valued, and ready to succeed.

Firing Fast: The Key to Building a Strong Team 🚀 In a startup, every decision matters. Uri Levine, co-founder of Waze and Moovit, explains why firing fast is more crucial than hiring right. A bad fit on your team doesn’t just slow progress — it risks your company’s success. Leaders who act swiftly build trust, inspire loyalty, and create organizations that thrive. 💡 Key Takeaways from Uri: 1️⃣ Ask yourself within 30 days: “Knowing what I know now, would I hire this person again?” If not, act immediately. 2️⃣ Firing isn’t easy, but it strengthens trust and boosts overall performance. The "temporary excuse" for mediocrity holds back progress—cutting ties clears the way for excellence. 3️⃣ Want to learn how to lead fearlessly and scale your company to success?
