Something on Your Mind?

It`s not about who you know, it`s about who knows you.

Kim recently talked to the @barry.chamber.eda Administrative Professionals Luncheon about Big Deal Energy™ and what it means to own what makes you weird, because that`s what makes you memorable.

We`re hosting workshops starting in June. Trust us, they`re going to be a blast.

Skill gaps cost more than turnover. When your team lacks critical thinking and communication, you become the default solution for every problem, pulled away from growth and strategy to handle what employees should be able to figure out on their own.

That`s exactly what Kim talked to buisiness owners about the Michigan Celebrates Small Business Summit, and "not hiring" isn`t the answer.

We created 8THIRTYFOUR Skills Survival School as the fix; it`s an integrated approach, because it has to be. Calculate what turnover is costing you at the link in bio.

Women are redefining success on their own terms. They`re leaving corporate America and starting businesses, where they can determine their own career trajectory.

It`s why Kim started 8THIRTYFOUR nearly 20 years ago.

Own your own power and take what you deserve. Our first Big Deal Energy™ Workshop is on June 23. Link in bio.

The people who have told you to tone it down... they`re just jealous.

On April 22, Kim will be at the Barry County Administrative Professionals Luncheon talking about why you need to own what makes you weird, because it`s exactly what makes you memorable.

People are the hardest part of running a business. They`re also the hardest part to do right.

In our most recent blog, Kim explains the need to teach those skills and the cost if you don`t. It`s why we launched Skills Survival School, our fix to the problem.
