4 July 2024

This is a must-listen episode for any business owner who is either:

  1. Looking to start hiring their first employee or
  2. Experiencing retention issues with their team.

Hiring and onboarding candidates is no easy task, and the process doesn’t stop when a new hire has joined the team.

It takes consistent action by the business owner to cultivate a team that resonates with your mission, can operate independently, and takes initiative to grow.

In this episode of the HerBusiness Podcast, we’re talking with Mike Michalowicz, a phenomenal keynote speaker and author of 8 books, including All In: How Great Leaders Build Unstoppable Teams.

He is a rockstar at creating a workplace where employees feel embraced, valued, and integral to the company’s mission.

In This Episode: 

  • Discover how Mike uses empathy to become deeply connected with his team members and encourages them to take initiative, follow their passions, and thrive in his business.
  • Embrace a culture of belonging by creating a workspace where employees feel like active participants in the company’s mission (this is a must-have for a thriving business).
  • Understand how to harness human connection and bring humanity back into the workplace. People ≠ Machines.
  • Dive into the concept of psychological ownership and how personalising the workplace can significantly enhance responsibility among team members.
  • Learn how to create a sense of team identity and pride that will increase retention rates and create a positive ripple effect amongst employees.

About the host

Suzi Dafnis

Hi there. I’m Suzi Dafnis, CEO at HerBusiness. My BIG passion is helping women business owners to grow and scale their business, so that they can create their ideal lifestyle and make a difference in the world. Every day I am inspired by the more than 30,000 amazing women (and men!) in our community and I love finding the best education, mentors, and resources from around the globe, to help them get the skills, knowledge, and support they need to succeed. It’s been my privilege to lead HerBusiness (formerly The Australian Businesswomen’s Network) for the past 23 years (two+ decades – WOW!) because, whilst I’ve enjoyed success in business, I’ve also experienced the highs and the lows – sometimes you can feel on top of the world and in control and other times you can feel isolated, exhausted and stuck. What has made the biggest difference for me has always been having great people around me and having a lifelong commitment to learning. That’s why I am so passionate about the work we do here at HerBusiness – providing a Connection Network for women in business to get the mentors, contacts, referrals, knowledge, and skills they need to grow their confidence, make more money, build their businesses, expand their network and create the lives they love. My entrepreneurial journey started in the spare room of my Sydney apartment in 1994 when my business partner and I started a boutique events company that represented speakers and authors from the USA, here in Australia. Over the years I’ve grown multiple multi-million dollar businesses in the events, publishing and education niches – with teams in Australia, New Zealand, and the USA. Not everything has worked and there has been a degree of trial and error, and a lot of bumps in the road. But I have always had a strong commitment to always surrounding myself with great mentors and like-minded peers – a Connection Network that I can depend on and who can depend on me to be there for them too. I truly do what I love, every day.
