POSTS STORIES REELS

In this Leadership Series episode, Ibi Akinbode @ibiconnects and @councillorsimiobasan talk with @therealmadhura about achieving success without self-abandonment. They cover what burnout costs leaders, why we ignore the warning signs, and how to choose yourself before life forces you to.

Madhura shares her C.A.L.M. Framework, and the three talk about why therapy isn't weakness and how trauma can become purpose. The big message: leadership always starts with leading yourself - Madhura thought it was just heartburn, until she ended up in emergency surgery and realized she had been leaving herself behind for years.

The Chamber series on @hermentalitypodcast

#chamberevents #businesscommunity #businesslessons #smallbusinesses #localbusinesses by @ibiconnects

This week’s episode on Her Mentality Podcast Chamber Series features James Moller, Vice President of Retail Property Management (Alberta & Manitoba) at JLL.

CrossIron Mills, currently under the management of James and his team, stands as Alberta's largest single-level shopping centre, employing over 5,000 individuals, half of whom reside in Airdrie. The facility welcomed approximately 250,000 visitors during its initial five days of operation following its grand opening in August 2009.

Our discussion explores the vital role of commercial real estate in shaping the local business landscape and outlines potential strategic growth opportunities for Airdrie. This is a must-listen for all local business owners.

This November, the Chamber would be hosting Business Blunders.

We extend our sincere gratitude to James for sharing his valuable expertise and to the Airdrie Regional Chamber of Commerce for their partnership in highlighting the organizations driving our local economy.

The full episode is available via the link in our bio.
