Quotes:

“I think that understanding what your clients are going through, and for people listening who work with organizations, understanding the pressures in that organization, the organizational objectives and key priorities, to me, that is the most important thing we can be doing when it comes to surviving in any economy, because that will determine directly what you need to be offering and what you need to be charging. I think that there are opportunities in all economies, but it's about understanding what people are looking to invest in and what they aren't.” - Jessica Fearnley

“Especially as women, we have a really hard time naturally asking for what we need. So don't let yourself go one more time wasting that beautiful question that good connectors and good power partners ask, which is how can I support you right now? What can I do for you? Don't let that question just fall… Get it out there and get yourself visible.” - Meghann Conter

“Your competitors are going to get on the ball with AI. So you have choices. We all have choices, right? You could be like, you know, I'm not going to go down this road and it's time for me to put my feet up and retire or sell or move on or what have you. And that is fine. You do you. However, if you plan to stay in business in the next ten years, you need to get on the program.” - Susan Frew

Quotes:

“Unlocking the doors to success and having the keys to success is also just having a network. Creating a network where people feel safe around you, that they know they're going to get the real deal, and that you can go to them in a safe space and talk about the good, the bad and the ugly. And it doesn't stop how they see you. You're still fantastic. You're still amazing. But this is the network that loves you regardless of the good, the bad and the ugly and will vouch for you. No matter what.” - Precious Williams

“I often say, go where you're celebrated, not tolerated, and sometimes you don't know where you're going to be celebrated. And that's why you try different rooms.” - Precious Williams

“As women, I think we are programmed to kind of put ourselves in places where we're not valued. And instead of being like, ‘this room is the wrong room’, we tend to go, ‘I'm the wrong person’.” - Jessica Fearnley

“It's really interesting how even from the very beginning, when I started Denver Dames… [I decided] I'm going to interview women running seven and eight figure businesses. That's what I'm going to do, because I want to demystify this mark so that women can see that you don't have to have two heads or six arms in order to do it. So I would bring these women into our events in Denver, and that's what we still do, and interview them and just have them describe what are the keys that they feel to getting to that level.” - Meghann Conter

In this episode of the 6 to 7 Figure Women Podcast, hosts Jessica Fearnley and Meghann Conter are joined by Aga Bajer, founder and CEO of CultureBrained®, a boutique consultancy on a mission to make work synonymous with fun, meaning and belonging. 

We discuss the importance of building a positive company culture, highlighting three pillars of a healthy work environment: enjoyment of work, collaboration and meaning. 

We also discuss the importance of aligning with company values, learning from failures, respecting employees, and understanding their needs, and share our practices for creating a positive work environment.

 

What we discussed:

[00:02:48] How entrepreneurs often unconsciously create toxic cultures and the need for intentionality in shaping company culture.

[00:09:11] The three pillars of a healthy work environment. 

[00:10:28] Creating a culture where people can do their best work.

[00:13:01] Finding the right balance between challenging oneself and having the necessary resources and support to succeed.

[00:14:12] Creating a sense of fun and collaboration in teams.

[00:25:06] The importance of shaking up patterns and defining values in creating a positive company culture.

“Never think that it's too early to be intentional about your culture. If you have one employee it's the right time to be intentional because culture is a little bit like scrambled eggs, you know when you scramble them it's quite difficult to unscramble. So being intentional, starting right, building that right foundation, it's never too late. It's a little bit like planting a tree - the best time for it was 30 years ago. The second best time is today.” - Aga Bajer

“I think that there are some really exciting and important things that we need to have consciousness of as we are building our businesses, because we don't build a bad culture on purpose, but we do it without realizing, because we're building it without realizing that that's actually what we're doing.” - Jessica Fearnley

“My top two values are fun and love. And so everything that I've created in the Dames is all about a culture of fun. In fact, we have an annual funference instead of a conference that we just had last week. So fun is a crucial ingredient embedded into the culture of my community.” - Meghann Conter

Quotes:

"Women of a certain age, and you know I'm 52 years old, we were always taught to be the good girl, to be nice, don't be ugly and say something ugly, and all of those things really do kind of diminish us as women. And I think we carry that into our entrepreneur life and further make ourselves smaller by feeling like we have to do everything for everyone, and so I think that people pleaser in most of us is another thing that actually does make us smaller because anything that's important to us is the last thing that happens on the list." - Heather Roberts

"I think sometimes there’s a huge pressure on us as leaders to be more, be impressive, be bigger… I often find the biggest challenge is to be self-accepting and to play to my strengths instead of feeling like I've got to take on a ton of strengths that I don't actually have." - Jessica Fearnley

Quotes:

"Almost anytime people say to me alright I want to become a better leader, what should I do? I say have you done any of these tests? And if you haven't I would work with a coach to help you really not only take the test but understand yourself and then start living from that space because your leadership will almost immediately get better just by the fact that you understand yourself." Meghann Conter

"Leadership is everyone's opportunity. It is everyone's responsibility. And the only way you can show up from a leadership position with others is by leading yourself first. And so if I could offer anything, it's what do you need to do right now to lead yourself in a way that's gonna be the next evolution or elevation of who you are?" Candy Barone

"When you start to realize like, wow, everyone's looking at the world through a different lens, it can just be so helpful." Kaitlyn Carlson

"I think the other dimension to human design is it's teaching us how to be with others. It's teaching us how to sort of show up in a way which is authentic to ourselves, but also takes account of the nuances present in the room when we're with our teams, when we're with our families, when we're with our partners. It's kind of like how do we be in the world around other people to greater benefit and effect?" Jessica Fearnley

3 tips to start creating boundaries for more profit and flow: 

1. Boundaries are a reflection of your self-worth so be intentional about setting them. There are time boundaries, information boundaries, physical boundaries, sexual boundaries, and financial boundaries. Your boundaries express what you’re willing to tolerate and how much effort you’re willing to put in.
2. Adding boundaries to your life can make people critical of you. Part of the journey is to hear that criticism without receiving it. Don’t recreate the familiar, create something better.
3. Whenever you say “I can’t”, “I won’t”, or “I don’t” call yourself out because these are self-limiting beliefs.

3 tips to start feeling enough and focusing on creating abundance (get more tips by tuning in): 

1. What you focus on expands, if you focus on scarcity it expands. If you focus on abundance, it expands.
2. Your regular feelings and emotions give you insight on what your mindset really is: “ how we feel all day, every day is such a powerful. Indicator of what's going on in our mindset” (08:25). You can use this insight to figure out where you need to grow.
3. You don’t need to be a different person to live the life you want, you don’t need to be more impressive, lose weight, or have more control. You have to consciously move to a place where you believe you are enough and you already have what you need to go where you want to go.
