Mike just showed up to help liven us up. It’s been a great day with so many team members here at Grow: Dan, Chris, Brandon, Louisa, Dave, and Leslie. I’ve been excited to get to see and talk to so many new business owners in Greenville.

BWIA Luncheon: A Conversation with Stefanie Schaeffer
I just came back from a fantastic luncheon with Jane Robelot and Stefanie Schaeffer. The event was sponsored by the Business Women in Action group at the Chamber, and it was an intimate interview conducted by Jane Robelot. I will not be attending the keynote address this afternoon, so I was glad to be able to hear Stefanie Schaeffer speak. She spoke about the importance of being feminine while in business–that you don’t need to act like a man to play with the boys. She also mentioned that it’s important to trust the people that you work with and to only work with the people you trust. This eliminates the need for micromanaging because you know the work will get done once you have assigned it. Overall, it was very informative session, and I enjoyed hearing details about the struggles it took to bring her to the point where she is today.
