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.

The Big Deal Energy™ Workshop is on June 23. Register at the link in bio.

Employers think Gen Z is lazy, entitled, and will quit the second things get hard. That perception is keeping you out of the room before you ever get a chance to prove otherwise.

The good news is, you can flip the script, but it will take some serious work and a personal brand, or as Kim Bode refers to it: Big Deal Energy™.

Kim is speaking at theProject™ Collegiate Event, hosted by the Project Management Institute Western Michigan Chapter on April 14. She`ll cover how to build a personal brand that actually sounds like you (not ChatGPT) and how you can show your value through social, content and networking.

No one talks about how lonely it is to own a business. The tough decisions land on you, the business doesn`t pause when you need a break, and nobody - not your employees or your spouse - really gets it.

If you know a business owner, tell them they`re doing a good job. It matters more than you know.

The growth stage is the hardest part of building a business.

Kim was recently quoted in @corpmagazine on what she sees running the Women`s Entrepreneurial Fellowship: women who have built something, survived the hardest part, and are still doing everything themselves. The natural tendency to be humble and attached to their work creates unique business challenges for women; they put up walls because they can`t be vulnerable.

Meanwhile, when a woman CEO needs growth capital, she compiles three years of tax returns before a bank will schedule a meeting, while her male competitor closes the same deal over drinks.

When women have access to the right resources, they grow and invest back. Full article at the link in bio.
