Encore of Business Solutions for Women in the Workplace (ft. Regina Bethencourt)
<p>As we gear up for Season 5, we thought we'd like to revisit some of our "greatest hits" over the last few seasons. All the way back in Season 2, we were joined by Regina Bethencourt, CEO of Tenuto Consulting. We discussed risk-taking, the journey of the entrepreneur, and support systems that help to build better work environments for everybody. Check out this great conversation and the rest of Prosper's library while Season 5 is in the works.Guest Regina Bethencourt, CEO of Tenuto, details how, not liking what she saw at a top NY marketing firm, she created her own company to provide a flexible work environment catering to the needs of parents, particularly mothers, who want to do challenging, excellent work as they care for their growing families. You'll also hear insights on building a competitive advantage in business through human connection and finding the right talent for flexible work. The discussion also touches on the entrepreneurial journey, the importance of taking risks, and the support systems that can help individuals succeed and build a more humane workplace for everyone. </p><p><br></p><p>To register for the Dan Cellucci presentation on Feb. 27, 2025, <a href="https://advance.catholic.edu/index.cfm/events:register/home/eventId/712">please follow this link</a>. </p><p>To learn more about The Busch School of Business' unique approach to Human Resources, please contact Prof. Tracy Phillips: <a href="phillipstr@cua.edu">phillipstr@cua.edu</a></p><p>Contact Regina's company at <a href="https://tenutoconsulting.com/">tenutoconsulting.com </a></p><p>Find out more about the Ciocca Center for Principled Entrepreneurship at Catholic University's Busch School of Business at <a href="http://cioccacenter.com/">CioccaCenter.com</a></p><p>Resources mentioned in the conversation: </p><ul><li>Regina mentions <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Hour-Work-Week-Learn-Enjoy-ebook/dp/B0B5VWR14T">The Five Hour Work Week</a>. </li><li>Find more about Patrick Lencioni at <a href="http://workinggenius.com/">workinggenius.com</a>. </li><li>Rebecca mentions Regine Pernoud's <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Women-Days-Cathedrals-R%C3%A9gine-Pernoud/dp/0898706424/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3B76AIYWID8XE&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.vmUDMQ2osXA6EkRYPTb3Q7gcVmZ8KFCQbvZrQgq7YngsiLK8UPG07rUaggNdNOtbt61jlDASNw4d-aT1nT_EdmDUR3uHxiGOcAvhNDtgqJKsbL2s17LA9ug0OP2hbvnAarhihx5tiBBwdY2rkicMA24YYS-JwGoIaZ8zWdNS_2nG-KUmDwUVz_wu9xsydG-nnRZsb9MytJqjIL5hNYLDcYcZ9WCbdZICs-7qqJOi5kQ.O-wZaZuymzNwoqpB8yis9lqxEtxg6Ju1srZzzhVf40I&dib_tag=se&keywords=women+in+the+days+of+the+cathedral&qid=1739823259&sprefix=women+in+the+days+of+the+cathedral%2Caps%2C99&sr=8-1">Women in the Days of the Cathedrals </a></li></ul><p>Prosper Podcast is a production of the<a href="https://business.catholic.edu/faculty-and-research/entrepreneurship-center/index.html">Ciocca Center for Principled Entrepreneurship</a> at Catholic University of America</p>
