EP 132 - Benny Fisher, From Unemployable to Entrepreneur

Many of us find ourselves facing entrepreneurship because we’ve tried just about everything and found ourselves pretty much unemployable. At that point, there’s not a whole lot of other places to go, so we (hopefully) embrace it and start working towards it.

Benny Fisher is the Founder & Visionary of The Big Fish Contracting Company, and an experienced public speaker, business consultant, and marketer. 

Benny has a knack for networking among business owners, and capturing stories of business, entrepreneurial journeys, and overcoming adversity.

How To Get Involved:  

Addicted to Winning connects listeners through stories that prove why mindset matters. Jeff Brekken was working a 60-hour week on his family’s farm by the time he was 10. When he wasn’t helping with the harvest, he was at the hockey rink. Jeff’s early life experiences taught him he needs to be either all-in or all-out.

In 2000 he started a single-family home construction business and by 2008 he was looking for the next big thing. Jeff founded the Blue Sky Benefit Solutions & Rise Above HR/ Recruiting on top of a lifelong passion for helping people. Through this show, Jeff will take that passion one step further.

Dans le monde du travail, il y a des personnes qui se démarquent par leur passion, leur engagement et leur recherche de sens. Leur parcours est souvent marqué par des décisions audacieuses, des remises en question et des aventures inspirantes.

Aujourd'hui, nous vous partageons l'histoire de Perrine, qui a entrepris une quête personnelle pour trouver un mode de vie épanouissant.

Bienvenue dans les coulisses d'Hisse & Haut, une entreprise d'accompagnement axée sur le sens au travail et sur l'engagement sociétal. Nous abordons aussi les perspectives du travail après la crise du Covid-19 et l'importance de l'engagement collaboratif au sein des entreprises.

Perrine est une femme passionnée, engagée et créative. Depuis son enfance, elle a toujours eu cette étincelle d'entrepreneuriat en elle. Ses parents la décrivaient comme une leader, toujours prête à proposer des idées et à mener des projets. L'entrepreneuriat, pour elle, est plus qu'un simple statut, c'est un état d'esprit, une posture qu'elle a adoptée depuis son plus jeune âge.

 "Je me suis toujours vu comme une fédératrice, coordinatrice, chapeautant le navire."

Après avoir vécu une dissonance cognitive entre son mode de vie personnel et son environnement professionnel, elle décide de se lancer dans une quête pour changer les choses au sein de son entreprise. Elle découvre Corporate For Change, une branche de Ticket for Change, qui accompagne les entrepreneurs. Malheureusement, sa décision de rejoindre ce programme n'était pas en accord avec son employeur. Rupture professionnelle, qu’elle choisit de voir comme une belle opportunité.

 "Quelle est mon utilité et mon impact ?"

Hisse & Haut est née dans ce contexte.

Perrine décide alors d'accompagner les autres pour les aider à éviter ces problématiques de mal-être au travail et de quête de sens en leur proposant notamment des bilans de compétence à impact positif. L'accent est mis sur la connaissance de soi, la coordination et la collaboration avec d'autres professionnels de l'accompagnement.

Hisse et Haut est aussi une autre entreprise atypique, axée sur le sens et l'engagement sociétal. Elle organise des événements visant à rassembler les gens, à les sensibiliser et à leur faire vivre des expériences enrichissantes. Essentiellement composée de freelances, ce qui offre une grande flexibilité et permet d'engager des talents variés pour des missions spécifiques.
