Share This Post:

What does Commercial Real Estate, Gluten-Free and a Latin Extravaganza all have in common? Your Biz Your Town…of course.

As usual, we bring a very diverse group to share information on their organization, association or business with the WGVU Morning Show with Shelley Irwin on 88.5 FM.

Listen to the full interview here.

Here is a recap of our pretty awesome guests.

Commercial Alliance of Realtors of West Michigan (CARWM)

Commercial Alliance of REALTORS® is committed to collaboration, cooperation and sharing of information for the betterment of the real estate community.

Just recently, the Commercial Alliance of Realtors released their first quarter market report showing increased activity in downtown and suburban markets, new development in retail and recovery in the industrial market. Read the full report here.

Hispanic Center of Western Michigan

The Hispanic Center of Western Michigan is a non-profit organization serving the needs of the Hispanic and broader community. We strive to provide an avenue for education and openness to promote discussion of the distinctions and values of different nationalities and cultures. The Center also focuses on the common thread that unites all people: a desire for understanding and respect of our differences.

We believe that this shared human experience connects us all.

Coming up on June 13th is the Center’s Latin Extravaganza. Now, this is a good time. We encourage you to attend and support this wonderful asset and resource in our community. Find more info here: https://www.hispanic-center.org/events.html

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.

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.
