Hi Karin - I am catching up with the IGC episodes and I am loving them! It was very interesting to see you both sit down and have this candid conversation. I remember seeing Miriam in your 'A day in the life of a busy design entrepreneur'- (16th September 2018) where you were redesigning Brunette the Label's workspace as well as in the vlog 'It's all coming together'- (17th September 2018), where their team visited you in the now old office to do a photoshoot with some of their clothing. It was interesting to look back and see what your answer was to 'What does 'Babes supporting Babes' mean to you?'. There were many interesting points covered in this conversation: - There is a difference between management and leadership and what does being effective in each look like. - The importance of having the correct systems that serve the business. It is also essential to determine what the 'value system' is, decide on a shortlist of what values the business and the people in the business believe in and stand for in their daily practice. - The importance of overcoming setbacks and dealing with failure. Taking the learnings that come from failures and mistakes and turning them into processes and systems. 'Work really hard, correct your mistakes and the world will try and help you'. - The importance of creating space for conversations in the workplace for the team. It is a reciprocal relationship between each other and aiming to create a 'family community'. Encourage a healthy mentality when it comes to handling mistakes and failures. You want to empower other people to grow and be confident. - The importance of creating time and space for ourselves. Creating 'moments of radiance' to serve ourselves (physically, mentally, spiritually). - It was interesting to listen to what the journey was during the pandemic, taking the approach of taking it 'one day at a time', pivoting and being value-orientated and transparent is great and yielded a great result. - 'Babes supporting Babes' - be kind, be supportive, be authentic, be transparent - 'Be sure that what you decide to do is authentic to you' - 'Listen to your gut, intuition is a superpower that we don't use enough' - ' One of the hazards of being beautiful is that it can blind people to the rest of you' Amazing value delivered! Thank you both for sharing your thoughts and experience and to the team for putting this episode together. Stay safe and well :-)

Karin, once again…brilliant. Thank you for having someone on who is super sensitive. I work with people who, like me, can pick up on just about everything in a unique way.

Hi Karen The series is nice, I hope you will be able to interview any successful contractor or service company. And to deep dive into how they made it. It is bit complicated on the construction side. You know better

[@KarinBohn]

Thanks for the recommendation. We’re always looking for new ideas for people to interview!

Jesus is your way to heaven, he paid the price for your sins. Once you believe you are sealed and saved forever. Salvation is a free gift.

[@deeswin7590]

Amen

This would be a great podcast. I do miss the vlogs tho, as an interior design student

[@cocoswan3844]

Hope is not a plan!!

[@jacksmom3612]

I'm not enjoying this series, sorry Karin.

[@KarinBohn]

What don’t you like about it?

[@peilin6212]

She talks to much and it's overwhelming. She should have a conversation with Karin and not keep blabbing off about her self.
