Customer service is a critical skill that helps individuals and companies advance themselves; yet, it's often overlooked. Through S.E.A. Leaders Training Institute, Jennica Anderson is teaching the importance and the art of customer service excellence. Through S.E.A. Leaders Training Institute, business owners can access tools, resources, and strategic support that help cultivate a strong brand experience that yields sustainable business operations for years to come. What we love best is how Jennica uses her expertise to teach those around her. Customer service can be intimidating, but when you take it one step at a time, with a strategic partner guiding you, the results can be game-changing. ??

Did you catch Polina Osherov and Timothy George on WISH-TV's Business, Equity, and Opportunities Show last Sunday? ?? Indiana has a tremendous opportunity to leverage our creative economy to make our state better! ?? We use the word better intentionally because a more vibrant community that supports a diverse business ecosystem [in size, in industry, and in race and ethnicity] makes people want to be here, want to grow their families here, and want to build a life they love with opportunities to be successful right here in Indiana. And we can't have a vibrant, inclusive community without creatives! ?? We're passionate about this work, and we love working with Pattern—for the second year—on their 2024 Creative Economy Summit. ??? This isn't an event to miss. Join us on October 25 at The Stutz: https://lnkd.in/d_rFiPuJ #CreativeEconomy #Talent #Workforce #Inclusion #Community

How can a few photos convey the community, the passion, and the alignment toward a more equitable Indy Region? ?? They can't, which is why it's critical that companies plug into Business Equity for Indy. ?? Today, leaders from Central Indiana companies shared how they've leveraged a more equitable workplace to support the people in their companies, provide opportunities for psychological safety, improve hiring and retention, and ultimately, drive business objectives. But you have to be in the room in order to glean the lessons, make the connections, and access the resources. Special thanks to the speakers who included: ??? Kristen Lampkin, MBA, Central Indiana Corporate Partnership ??? Nicole Carey, PhD, Indy Equity Collaborative ??? Claire Cagiano Bozzano, Second Helpings ??? Monique Charlebois, Morales Group, Inc ??? Lora Steele (She/ Her/ Hers), EmployIndy And the woman behind the scenes, Erreol Morgan! If you're interested in becoming a BEI member company, it won't cost you a thing. However, the advantages are endless. Please contact us if we can help you connect and join the movement toward a more equitable community. ?? #ClientWin #BizEquityIndy #Equity #Community

Hey everyone! This week on #ExpertExchange, I had the pleasure of chatting with Casey Harrison, the amazing founder of Polished Strategic Communications. Her journey from a teenage mom to a successful entrepreneur is truly inspiring. Casey shared how she uses PR data to show value, and why being prepared for data-driven conversations is a game-changer. We also dove into project capacity management – a crucial approach for sustainable growth and avoiding burnout. One of my favorite takeaways was Casey’s emphasis on setting realistic goals and achieving success through strategic planning and measurable objectives. Her insights into balancing personal beliefs with professional roles, especially during politically sensitive times, were eye-opening. If you're looking for inspiration and practical tips to supercharge your marketing and communication skills, this episode is a must-listen.

We are excited to announce Casey Harrison as a speaker at the 2024 IMBW @ RALLY Conference Casey Harrison is a woman on a mission to elevate everyone who crosses her path. As a teenage mother, Casey has built her communications career on advocacy work to create more inclusive spaces everywhere she goes. Casey graduated three times with her son in the audience, most recently with her Master’s in Applied Communication from IUPUI. She’s held countless roles where she leverages her blended skillset to drive earned media coverage, build websites, and ensure that businesses of all sizes can successfully elevate their stories and drive business goals. She’s currently the President & CEO of Polished Strategic Communications, which she founded only nine months ago after unexpectedly losing her job. She’s created a company with foundational pillars of equity and access, education, and community development; and she’s supporting nearly 15 clients in Central Indiana and outside of the state. Recently, Casey made her first hire, a Black woman, demonstrating her commitment to ensuring that the communications industry remains inclusive for minority women after the overturn of Affirmative Action.
