YWCA and Boys & Girls Club – In the House

Share This Post:

Jimmy and I welcomed a pretty great crew to the studio this morning that included YWCA and Boys & Girls Club of Grand Rapids.
Every 4th Friday starts out with coffee, dogs and laughs when Shelley Irwin & 834 get together for #YourBizYourTown on WGVU Radio, 88.5 FM. We discuss some heavy topics at times and always share with you important happenings and nonprofit missions…in hopes you will get involved and give back. After all, it is what makes our community great.
YWCA
The YWCA West Central Michigan offers services that support victims of domestic and dating violence, sexual assault, child sexual abuse, and stalking, as well as prevention programs for girls 9-18 years old. Their mission is important in our community as violence against women continues to rise.
There are many ways to support this great organization and their upcoming Open Circle luncheon is one way. The YWCA’s Open Circle luncheon is designed to powerfully highlight the impact of personal philanthropy in the lives of women and girls. This invitation-only luncheon fundraiser includes both men and women, traditionally features a moving testimonial by an individual whose life has been positively changed by the YWCA, and offers guests the opportunity to significantly support critical YWCA services.
Find out more here.
Boys & Girls Club of Grand Rapids
The organizations is dedicated to enabling all young people to reach their full potential as responsible citizens through education, recreation, and other positive community experiences in partnership with the Grand Rapids Police Department.
Join them for their Youth of Year program on February 26. Established in 1947, Youth of the Year is BGCA’s premier recognition program for Club members, promoting service to Club, community and family; academic success; strong moral character; life goals; and poise and public speaking ability. The program is most effective when used as a year-round tool for fostering young people’s character, personal growth and leadership qualities.

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.

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.
