Any chance to support our furry buddies we jump on at 834, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that our guests for Your Biz Your Town are the Humane Society of West Michigan and Eastown Veterinary Clinic. Both guests are sharing ways to support your pets.
The Humane Society of West Michigan is hosting their annual Bark in the Dark 5K Run/Walk. I especially like the ‘walk’ part. This event is near and dear to my heart as I was peripherally involved in getting it started several years ago. Buy me a glass of wine and i’ll tell you the story. The event also happens to take place in the Creston neighborhood where I happen to reside.
Animal lovers of all ages are invited to register and join the fun at 7 p.m. at Riverside Park for this glow-in-the-dark 5K walk/run. Guests are encouraged to bring their dogs as this will be a great opportunity for people and their canine companions to get active and support a great cause.
Find out more info at www.barkinthedark.org.
Eastown Vet, one of the Bark in the Dark sponsors, also happens to be hosting a Canine Behavior Seminar on October 28th at their location in Eastown.
Curious why your dog does what he/she does? If you’re looking for help treating your dog’s behavior issue, or just curious about why your dog does what he does join us on October 28th from 6:45 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. I know i’ll be there, 4 male dogs in one household is a lot to handle…and I have a lot of questions.
RSVP required. Please call (616) 451-1810 or email (hr****@********et.com) to reserve your space. This workshop is free and open to the public.

If you ever need proof that personal brand matters...Kim got to see the @nasaartemis II launch in person as a direct result of her Big Deal Energy™.
You need to work hard, show up authentically, and provide value. That was her message to a room full of students and young professionals at @western_michigan_pmi`s theProject Collegiate Competition.
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.

We are so focused on unraveling the cause that we lost sight of the people in the center of it. Kim`s recent piece in the @smallbusinessassocofmichigan`s FOCUS Magazine on the Hard Cost of Soft Skills struck a nerve.
Everyone has an opinion on who`s to blame for where the skills gap is, but nobody is actually fixing it. It`s why we`re having this conversation.
Join us on April 28, link in bio.
Last week, we got to see history. The kind you remember where you were when it happened.
Kim was there on April 1 for the @nasa Artemis II launch - the first crewed flight around the moon in more than 50 years.
We don`t take moments or opportunities like this for granted.
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.
