挑战在前，转机在内。在困境中成长，成为孩子的榜样。
自考完SPM考试，Della未满18岁便在雪隆一带任教于【葉老師】，至今五年有余。突然，槟城【葉老師】分中心主管和老师相继离职，如此“空城”，Della临危受命前往接管，究竟她能否胜任？ 上述如电视剧般的情节，发生在Della身上，她必须独力编写接下来的剧情，闯过一个个的难关。 紧急接管槟城分中心 去年11月，Della正于Rawang【葉老師】担任中心负责人。当时她的上司Maymei也是槟城分中心的老板。接到如此紧急的消息，Maymei第一时间询问Della是否愿意前往槟城接手。“那时候，其实我一直想要在【葉老師】创业，一直都等待着机会。这次虽然事态紧急，我也不曾离开雪隆工作，但我并没有考虑太久，便答应成为槟城分中心的创业伙伴。”对Della而言，这是上天给她的一个机会，她必须好好把握。 Della自称是个想做就做的直性子，家人虽有挂念，但也是全力给予支持。大概准备了两个星期，Della便已远赴槟城。 “到了那里，见到当时的负责人，交接工作半天左右她就离开了，可还真是紧急。”据称，是负责人决定转换工作跑道，连带老师也决定离职，因此需要Della这个“远水”去救这股“急火”。问及Della真的没有心存忧虑？Della坦言当然不是。“从前在Rawang，我即便是中心负责人，其他事情还有Maymei主导，如今我需要掌管整个中心的运作，照看更大的蓝图，这绝对是全新的挑战，不知前方有多少未知的难题等着我。” 大小事一步一步学习 前往槟城，是Della和Maymei两人一同上路。槟城分中心一夕之间换了院长和老师，自会引来家长的询问。尤其Della 22岁之龄接见家长时，不免会让家长质疑她的能力。“这时我便逐一向家长说人员改动的事情，也跟他们解释自己已有5年工作经验，请他们放心。”初期，Della要见完约40位学生的家长一一解说，常会牺牲下班之后的时间，是体力上不小的考验，殊不简单。 老师集体离职，让分中心宛如空城，Della和Maymei两人认领各个科目之外，也极力聘请新老师。“去年年尾假期，我也请妹妹上来帮忙教书，利用工余时间教会她【葉老師】的教学方式。”如今，槟城分中心的状况是三位老师，学生总人数有八十来位，分配到不同的天数和时段，这样的比例还算刚好，如能再请一位老师就更好。 在这间位于Bayan Lepas的【葉老師】，Della经历了第一次出粮。虽然在Maymei刚开始时有教过，但事情未曾亲身经历，难免会手忙脚乱。“那时我对系统还很陌生，还一度发错薪水，只好致电Maymei和她的妹妹Gabby求助。”各种的琐事如收据输入、出席名单输入、订购教材等等，Della说自己常求助于自己以前的同事、现在已开始创业的朋友们，如Sentul、Muar分中心的老板等等。“她们都很耐心地教我，甚至有时会录个教学视频一步一步教我，真的很感谢她们。”她特别感谢Maymei一家人，除了Maymei和Gabby平日的帮忙，Maymei的双亲也会特别从【葉老師】总部载送教科书到槟城给Della，让她好生感动。 经过一年的努力，Della经营的槟城分中心在今年十月已经完成总部定下的全年业绩目标。这是槟城分中心开张三年以来首次完成目标。Della对此自是十分开心：“每三个月，总部都会奖励业绩表现良好的分中心，今年我的中心已经连续三次上榜。”从刚接手时的四十多位学生，至今的八十多位学生，人数近翻了一倍。Della说槟岛上只有自己这一家，除了家长会互相介绍朋友，以前在雪隆的家长也会推荐槟城的朋友送孩子来学习。 拥有如此佳绩，Della希望自己明年能够再开一家【葉老師】中心，过程虽是辛苦，但有挚友的扶持、家长的支持，创业这条路带给Della的成就感，是不言而喻的。 {点击上图，进入中心主管／助理申请} {点击上图，进入老师申请} {点击上图，查看详情}
