Exploring the Transition: From Corporate to Entrepreneurial Drive

Kim Tabac is a dynamic business executive with over 25 years of experience designing and executing people & culture strategies for leading organizations across various industries. Best known for building high-performing teams, designing game-changing employee engagement strategies, developing differentiated and irresistible employee experiences, delivering highly valued health & wellness programs, and driving the adoption of innovation and technology to disrupt traditional HR practices.

This interview helps us understand the migration from corporate to entrepreneurial drive… it’s quite refreshing. In Kim’s words, “I think there is something that that is unique about somebody who is an entrepreneur. And those are people who aren’t just gonna settle for what’s available. They either have an idea or they have a solution. And they wanna make an impact. They wanna make a change. And they know that they can make that change. They can leave that change. It takes a whole bunch of confidence, obviously a lot of support, and a lot of resilience.”

Électron libre attirĂ© par les communications et philanthrope

Par l’entremise de cette initiative, il sollicite des emplois ou des projets enthousiasmants (ex. en communication), sans trop considĂ©rer le revenu qu’il pourrait en tirer sachant qu’il a dĂ©cidĂ© d’en verser la grande majoritĂ© Ă  un organisme de bienfaisance. Eh oui, un ancien professionnel en rĂ©munĂ©ration qui dĂ©cide de ne pas se prĂ©occuper de sa propre rĂ©munĂ©ration afin de se consacrer Ă  des projets qui l’intĂ©ressent vraiment et, par ricochet, aider la communautĂ© !
