In fact, we have a restraining order against it. At 8THIRTYFOUR, we believe learning should be as energetic as a Leslie Knope pep talk and as effective as a Ron Swanson woodworking project.
All of our programs, workshops, and training are built for humans, and delivered integrated – it’s the only way we know how to do, and it works.
The learning side of 8THIRTYFOUR includes coaching, training, program development, workshops, and events for business owners and the people they employ.
We tell the stories people remember and develop the humans living them.
We build engaging, interesting, and hella good programs for business owners, young professionals, and the in-between.
We provide the tools, resources, and programming; we took 20 years of business ownership and built out an entire ecosystem; it’s built by business owners for business owners.
It’s like therapy but useful.
Our methodology is fun, entertaining, and influenced by Leslie Knope, Julia Sugarbaker, Ron Swanson, The Goonies, and Star Wars (the OGs, not the prequels).
We’re here for companies investing in their people, young professionals building skills nobody taught them, women ready to stop apologizing, and founders navigating every stage from startup to succession.
We’ve been there and done that. 19 years, a shit ton of reviews, testimonials, and awards are proof we know what we’re doing.
Personal Branding with a Shot of Tequila.
Big Deal Energy™(n.): The confidence of knowing exactly who you are, owning your QUIRKS™, and communicating your authentic self unapologetically.
Big Deal Energy is an ode to our girl, Leslie Knope, from Parks & Rec. She embodies everything your personal brand should be: authentic, passionate, consistent, and unapologetic. She ignores the rules society, or whatever asshole made them up, told her to follow, and fully owns her ambition, drive, or dreams.
When you own, truly own what makes you, you; you’ll see your quirks as an advantage; your story as a differentiator, and your ambition as power.
The Women’s Entrepreneurial Fellowship was built by business owners for business owners and delivered by business owners. It is for business owners past the startup phase, managing teams, driving revenue, and making decisions with consequences that reach beyond the bottom line.
It’s the program for what comes after.
The Women’s Owners Network is built for the one-woman shop, the smaller business, the one that needs support to take it to the next level. Whatever that might look like.
You deserve sophisticated, integrated support to get you to your next chapter, however you define it.
It’s the program for what comes first.
Uncomfortable Community Conversations are where we tackle what some would say is the hard or taboo stuff, because growth happens in the uncomfortable, and that’s what we want for our community, small businesses, and you.
You can sit around and complain about it, or you can do something to change it, and we’ve chosen the latter.
Don’t take our word for it.
See what the people have to say.
Stop following rules meant to keep you small. Become the unforgettable force you were born to be.
