Community Matters: What 2020 Has Taught Me

    In the last month of 2020, I am grateful for all the ways that our personal and professional communities have supported us through the challenges of the year. For example, the women entrepreneurs I was used to seeing physically have easily shifted to connecting virtually, and new relationships opened up, especially through the B Corp community. I’ve noticed in particular that proximity is no longer a primary driver of relationships, and have enjoyed starting relationships with women across the country. 

    BSuite Podcast — Women Sharing with Women

    So, when Anne Richardson, founder of Richardson Media Group on the BSuite Podcast invited me to be a guest on her podcast and share how we’ve pivoted and become more resilient as a company in 2020, I jumped at the chance. Anne has a similar company value/mindset as I do — purpose-driven. Business has a social responsibility to use its power, impact, expertise and skills to advance some of the most prevailing issues of our time. Whether it be education, poverty, diversity/inclusion, climate change — you name it. Being purpose-driven and a B Corporation only serve to motivate us further to work together to find creative ways forward.

    We talked about how we’ve become stronger and more connected, despite working from home; how the journey of becoming a B Corp unfolded, and more. Have a listen, and feel free to share any questions with me in the comments. If you’re looking to become a B Corp, feel free to read more about our journey here, and reach out if you have questions along the way. I’d love to expand my professional community to include you.
