Join the discussion today as I interview Elaine Stenger from the Cairn Venture Group about the organization and it's mission. The Cairn Venture Group launched the Women’s Leadership Retreat.

Many large corporations now understand that it makes good business sense to spend dollars with women-owned vendor firms. Corporate management knows it is good for the public relations and for their local communities, but most importantly for the value they get from the dollars spent with women-owned companies. Certification as a woman owned business can help women reach markets they could not reach on their own. Being certified as a Women Owned Business Enterprise matches women with the corporate entities they desire. This week I am interviewing my business partner in an exciting initiative we offer to help WBEs prepare themselves for corporate business. Cheryl El-Alf, President of Diverse Supply Chain Partner  is on a mission to help WBE (Women Business Enterprise) executives and their leadership teams to implement the strategies necessary to grow their business within the corporate supply chain.  Chery’s background is unique and diverse.  Her knowledge of, and working experience in supplier diversity programs includes the Small Business Administration’s 8A program in addition to Corporate America’s W/MBE programs.   She has mastered the skill of leveraging these programs to not only help the W/MBE businesses achieve their financial goals; but also the Corporate Supply Chain’s diverse spend goals.  She refers to this as a “win-win” situation.

Coaching in business and life is one of the fastest growing service industries with an estimated 1 Billion dollar a year impact on the economy according to Harvard Business Review. In an industry that is growing at light speed and not regulated how do you know who is credible and who is not? The warnings and advice from experts say beware and choose carefully. Choose a coach who has been trained by accredited coaches or programs.    Andrea Jones has chosen to take on the role of coach. She is a mother and a wicked step mother (in the cool kind of way) of three 13-year old children.  Her career has taken her into business management, sales, training, marketing, and video production. She loves the interaction with and the empowerment she saw in her clients as they created what they most wanted in their businesses and saw the change in their lives. Andrea realized that her experience and ability to see a bigger picture for the people she helps most has set her up for becoming a coach. How does Andrea take her best talents and desires and “become” the coach she intends to be? Andrea has hired a coach’s coach to take herself and her business and to the next level. She wants the best so she hired the best and has a story to share. Listen in this week to hear Andrea’s story and how being coached has been crucial for her in creating her dream life and business.    Dawnie Heartwell and Laurie Fitzgerald Althaus, both licensed personal and business coaches co-host Now &Next Coaches Corner. We are honored to invite Andrea in the conversation as we share with callers and listeners our combined 22 years of coaching experience.
