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.

We got uncomfortable and you liked it.

Running 8THIRTYFOUR on EOS has allowed our team to find consistency in what we do and given us a framework to hold each other accountable.
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 Energyâ„¢ 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.
We always say work smarter, which means bringing in expertise you don`t have and hiring people who make your team more complete.
That`s what Kim Bode said in a recent @fastcompany article on building sustainability into your business.

The @smallbusinessassocofmichigan`s Women`s Entrepreneurial Fellowship met last week in our new space, and it was incredible to have this group of badass women back together under one roof.
Our focus this time around was planning for the future, whether that`s selling your business, handing it down, or just starting the conversation about it. We heard from the one and only Mindy Earley, who walked the cohort through the many different things to consider when succession planning; and Monica Gauthier joined us to talk about her journey selling her business - @groovydonuts.
The biggest takeaway... we really need to get this group together more often.
Applications are open for the next cohort. Apply at the link in bio.
