Welcome to this special episode of #REALTALK, sponsored by Alterna Savings, the first full-service, member-owned, co-operative financial institution outside Quebec. Our host Cherry Rose Tan will be talking about how to create connection in this hybrid world of in-person and remote work.
We start this episode by acknowledging how tough it has been for small business owners and entrepreneurs. It may be hard to reconnect with people dear to us after an exhausting and confusing year. In this hybrid world, there will be times when we are connecting with other people in-person with things being reopened. These changes mean meeting other people remotely using different platforms. Of course, when we meet people and try to connect with them, we want it to be rich, emotional, and also deep.
There are three different types of people that we can connect with in this hybrid world: your co-workers, friends, and community. These are the people that you want to build connections with. After a year of feeling physically and emotionally separated from them, it may cause extreme loneliness to people, specifically for business owners and entrepreneurs. Sometimes, you may feel that you have lost your friendship and are awkward at times.
Cherry Rose shared a lot of tips on how you can create and build connections with your co-workers, friends, and community. She also shared different strategies on how you can build and maintain those bonds, once they have been rekindled. Share with us the strategy that created an impact on you. Tune in now!

33 | How to Recharge This Summer
#REALTALK (https://realtalkmvmt.com/) would like to give thanks to Alterna Savings for sponsoring today’s episode. After more than a tough year for most entrepreneurs, we are talking about how to recharge this summer. Through this podcast, our host Cherry Rose Tan will be able to talk about how to recover, rejuvenate, and give our mind and body a much needed break.
One of the strategies that we discuss is: exercising our boundaries. Exercising our boundaries means that we have to identify what our boundaries are. To put it simply, it is setting meaningful time away from work and knowing when to stop. Setting a self care routine, no weekend work, or even giving yourself a full 8-hour sleep, are some examples of boundaries that are non-negotiable and don't involve work.
Apart from exercising boundaries, another strategy is to get yourself enough rest. Take rest seriously. Get those workloads done ahead of time and prepare a timetable to do all the things that have to be done. Another strategy given is to add everyday variety in the activities you engage in, allowing you to unlock other senses that you have. In this way, you will not feel burnt out from your work week.
Stay tuned and get recharged!

32 | How to Have Difficult Conversations as Entrepreneurs
#REALTALK (https://realtalkmvmt.com/) would like to give special thanks to Alterna Savings (https://www.alterna.ca/) for sponsoring today’s episode. For our Season 2 finale, we are covering the art of difficult conversations. This topic is inspired by our active club on Clubhouse called Founder Mental Health. Every Tuesday night, entrepreneurs are gathered to share and support one another.
We know that it is a trying time for entrepreneurs, who are navigating complex relationships and exhausting situations. As a leader, it is a privilege and our responsibility to take the lead. Our host Cherry Rose Tan shares tactical strategies on mastering difficult conversations with our Team, our Mentors, and our Friends. These strategies are also being applied by Cherry Rose to her team and her clients.
For Team, we can use the tools of container and alignment, creating temporary spaces for sensitive topics. Aside from our employees, we also have mentors, the people we seek for help and can see our blindspots. Cherry Rose encourages entrepreneurs to reach out to mentors, deepening the relationships and acknowledging their contributions to you. Cherry Rose also shared two tools to engage in difficult conversations with mentors: experience and introduction. These tools will help your mentor to know what you really need.
Cherry Rose talks about the importance of social networks, such as friends, to develop our emotional well-being. Even though we are experiencing this pandemic, let them know that you are still thinking of them and are willing to listen. Cherry Rose also shared tools on how to rekindle your relationship with your friends: accountability and acknowledgement.
Stay tuned and apply the tools we have shared with you!
