Share This Post:

Happy ArtPrize!
Seriously though…do traffic and pedestrian laws go out the window during this 2 week period?
Back to the point of this blog…another episode of Your Biz Your Town with WGVU’s Shelley Irwin and myself (Kim Bode)….oh and our guests.
In no particular order we welcomed the following organizations/events to chat about their upcoming happenings. Get involved.

Rockstar guests…a little blurry.

Avenue for the Arts
The Avenue for the Arts is a neighborhood title for the South Division commercial corridor. They are residential, commercial and nonprofit groups working together in a creative community, who are residents in Heartside, and active participants in shaping change in the neighborhood. In 2005, they choose the Avenue for the Arts as a title to represent their commercial corridor and the projects and events that they create.
They have lots coming up – Free Radical, ArtPrize Pop-Up Shops  and more. Check it out here.
GR GiveCamp
GiveCamp is a weekend-long event (November 7 – 9) where technology professionals – from designers, developers and database administrators to marketers and web strategists – donate their time to provide solutions for non-profit organizations.
Nonprofit deadline is October 1st.
Volunteers are desperately needed,  find out more here.

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.
