Description

In this episode of Inside Design with Kandrac and Kole, we talk with guest jewelry designer, Jane Winchester, about her entrepreneurial journey and the creation of a successful, profitable and soulful company at the age of 45. KEY TAKEAWAYS1.  No matter what happens in your business, handle it with grace so you can look back and be proud of how you dealt with difficult situations.  2.  Every successful career has tough stepping stones that became the path for you to follow.  3.  When starting a business, make sure one of the first things you do is establish your core beliefs. Those beliefs will be the foundation for how you train your team and how you deal with customers. SPONSORWe are so thrilled to let you know that we have a new sponsor for this episode – the WithIt Women’s Leadership Development Network. WithIt is a leadership development network for women in the home and furnishings industry. The organization was founded as a not-for-profit dedicated to the belief that women should play a major role in the growth and future of the home and furnishings industries.  More than 25 years later, they remain dedicated to connecting and educating women at all stages of their careers — from students to C-suite executives. Their programs and events are geared to bring professional development, comfortable networking and connection-building to women working in all segments of the home industry. A few things to pay attention to when you visit the withit.org website: A. This year, WithIt has launched a new Mentor Matching Program which allows members to apply to be paired with a mentor.  B. Mark your calendars for the WithIt Annual Conference held in Greenville, SC on June 10-12th, where 175 women from across the industry will gather to learn new skills, network and be inspired by top notch speakers.  C. At the conference there will be a workshop designed for small business owners called “Transforming Your Business with EOS: The Entrepreneurial Operating System.” It’s the perfect workshop for the interior designer who feels out of control in her business and wants to implement a system to help them grow.”  You can learn more about their programs and join at withit.org KANDRAC & KOLE BIOVoted one of “Atlanta's Top 20 Residential Interior Designers” by the Atlanta Business Chronicle, Kandrac & Kole Interior Designs is an acclaimed design firm with two decades of experience serving residential and commercial clients.
