Women supporting women. That’s at the heart of what Made to Grow is. It's a grassroots, not-for-profit organization, whose primary purpose is to support women entrepreneurs in their business growth.

Genny spoke with co-founders Nancy and Sherry about the Made to Grow Project. As women entrepreneurs themselves, they related to the dynamics of starting and growing a successful business. To that end, they created a membership structured community, based on mutual support and common understanding, that provides a safe place for women entrepreneurs to share, learn and grow in business.

Through monthly workshops led by industry experts; weekly meetups that focus on connections, community, and self-focused development; and supporting one another through member-to-member incentives, Made to Grow leads with the mindset of collaboration over competition and women offering their knowledge to one another motivated in wanting the other to succeed.

As women, we were raised to be kind, empathetic, and humble. These are great qualities to have, but they can also keep us from asking for what we know we're worth, especially in negotiation.

In this episode, Genny spoke with Joanne Zuk, a Negotiation Specialist, about the art of negotiating and learning how we can get what we want and deserve. Joanne shares information about her "Fearless Negotiation" workshops and also shares the 7 blind spots that we need to watch out for.

When you give someone a "high five", it can be to celebrate a win, praise someone for something they did, or encourage someone to keept going. Slapping your hand against someone else's hand is sharing your energy with that person, and it's usually accompanied by a huge smile and sometimes with the phrase "way to go". Little did we know that we could do it with ourselves and for ourselves. 

Genny shares her thoughts from the book "The High 5 Habit" by Mel Robbins. She mentions how the simple act of touching the mirror and giving yourself a "high 5" every morning has changed her in a very positive way. As well, this episode will help you find a way to deal with any limiting beliefs you might have, and encourage you to embrace self-acceptance.

Do you remember your favourite teacher? What did this person do that you believe made them an excellent teacher, mentor, or coach? Has their teaching or influence shaped you in any way to be the person you are today?
