Babe Profile - May 2009

Kay Marco

Name:
Kay Marco

Occupation:
Lifestyle Manager

Professional details:
As a Lifestyle Manager, I make life easier for my clients by taking care of things that they don't have time for or don't want to do; giving them breathing space to live their life. With an event management and hospitality background, I love to organise, take care of things and make sure people are happy and enjoying themselves.

I most feel like a Babe when
I'm helping people handle their lives or laughing with girlfriends.

I love coming to work each day because
Every day is different. Every client is different. It's never boring!

I first knew I wanted to be a Lifestyle Manager when
My girlfriends used to all come to me to organize last minute gifts or sort out their kitchens.

The one thing that got me where I am in my career today was
My organisation skills.

I feel most challenged in my career when
I have to manage the responsibilities of my home life and young family with achieving what I want to achieve in my business. There are only so many hours in the day.

I feel most successful in my career when
A client realises that they can't do without me.

The highlight of my career has been
Finding a client that fits the "My Dream Client" mould - and she loves me!

If I wasn't a Lifestyle Manager I'd be a
Proofreader.

The best piece of advice I have ever received was
Don't be afraid to ask for help.

Next on my professional agenda is
Becoming JP qualified.

To me, work/life balance means
Knowing when it's time to turn off the computer.

In ten years time I hope to be
Happy, healthy, and successful - not that different to now really, just 10 years older.

I relax by
Laying in my hammock and reading a book.

The best holiday I ever had was
My honeymoon - We went to Paris, Rome and Barcelona.

My greatest love is
My husband Serg and my 2 kids Olivia and Nicholas.

My favourite time of day is
In the evening when everyone else is in bed.

Something that makes me really happy is
Spending time at the park on a Friday afternoon with my girlfriends, the kids and sharing a glass of champagne.

Something that makes me really mad is
People that sit in the right hand lane doing 10km under the speed limit when I have somewhere to be.

I treasured my childhood because
It was the only one I had and I wouldn't change a thing.

The most interesting person I ever met was
My husband.

My biggest regret in life is
No regrets - Everything that has happened in the past has made me who I am today.

My greatest achievement is
My kids and the people they are becoming.
