Dining Out, Partying for a Cure and Mentoring Entrepreneurs

Share This Post:

I love being able to see Shelley Irwin once a month for our morning show segment, Your Biz, Your Town. As always we had some amazing guests and as always I am recapping the segment and giving you the opportunity to get involved!

The Guests:

Jandernoa Entrepreneurial Mentoring

“Lonely at the top” is often the frustration expressed by business decision makers wrestling with strategic as well as day-to-day operations. Through a careful and deliberate selection, Jandernoa Entrepreneurial Mentoring (JEM) ends that isolation with a careful matching process that seeks the right fit with a mentor.  This is why we base JEM on three years of one-to-one monthly meetings in a confidential environment.  JEM mentees will gain the advantage of our mentor’s experience, insight and empowerment.  Our mentors gain the enjoyment of relating with a leader of a company and assist in the tough decisions that come along with growing a business.

Find out more here, as well as check out their upcoming March 28th event here.

Grand Rapids Red Project

The Grand Rapids Red Project organization is made up of community members who are passionate advocates and activists in the fight against HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, and the harmful or risky choices that help spread these life-altering medical conditions.

Each year, the organization hosts Dining Out For Life.

Dining Out For Life® is an annual fundraising event involving the generous participation of volunteers, corporate sponsors and restaurants. In exchange for their financial support, restaurants are listed in a city wide marketing campaign in an effort to increase customer traffic.

Get involved, whether you are a restaurant, local business or a person wanting to volunteer. Great organizations need great support. What are you waiting for? Email me, *@*******gn.com“>ki*@*******gn.com for more info.

Something on Your Mind?

Running 8THIRTYFOUR on EOS has allowed our team to find consistency in what we do and given us a framework to hold each other accountable. 

It's why @bodespeaks highlighted it in her latest @fastcompany contribution.

We put everything business owners, employees, and educators told us on the wall, and guess what... yeah, some of it was mean. 

The point is, everyone is saying it about each other, not to each other, and nothing is getting fixed that way. 

Thanks to everyone who showed up to have the Uncomfortable Conversation on the skills crisis, and whether you were there or not, let us know what the next one should be.

Defense and manufacturing run on precision, protocols, and deadlines. When a team miscommunicates... things slip, and the cost adds up.

Kim will be at the Michigan Defense Expo in Detroit on May 13 to talk about the Hard Cost of Soft Skills (or as we call them, survival skills) and what we can all do about it.

If not for you, do it for her. 

@bodespeaks will be talking to @sheleadssocietymi on May 21 about Big Deal Energy™ and what it means to own what makes you - you. 

Don't let mediocre men tell you you're too much. That's on them. 

Come to the talk, it'll be fun. Link in bio.
We always say work smarter, which means bringing in expertise you don't have and hiring people who make your team more complete. 

That's what Kim Bode said in a recent @fastcompany article on building sustainability into your business.
