This series was conceived and developed as a collaborative effort of three West Michigan business consultants.
Rebecca
Bruns of Bruns Leadership Consulting, Kay Hubbard of Watershed
Strategies, and Beth Kelly of Connexsource joined forces to create the
podcast series for the Chamber. “We’ve all been
successful using variations of this approach with our individual
clients in other parts of the country,” said Hubbard. “We
thought this would be a great way to give something back to the West
Michigan community.” Additional services were provided by Mark DeRoo of
Keystone Coaching and John Erskine of Hope College’s Department of
Music.
