In this episode, I had a fun and insightful conversation with Genevieve Retzlaff about her journey from being a successful HR professional in Montreal to moving to Germany and starting her own business, Grow Better Together.

We discussed:

• How 3 years of ‘reflection’ helped her refocus building her career
• How she built her coaching business using a combination of networking and targeted advertising
• Building momentum by working with clients in her home country while building up a local client base in Germany
• The importance of authenticity, leadership and female empowerment, and the benefits of self-leadership.
• We also touched on harnessing the power of websites and how she expanded her network through industry groups and platforms.

Genevieve shared her experience transitioning from the corporate world to freelancing and how her passion for coaching led her to create Grow Better Together.

We also discussed the growth of Grow Better Together, and how Gen leads a remote team that works collaboratively to create offers and share opportunities.

We shared insights on embracing the possibility of failure and surrounding oneself with quality people for support and guidance.
