How some female entrepreneurs Survived and some Thrived during the pandemic, Shann McGrail

As the Executive Director of Haltech, Shann McGrail is well aware of what it takes to thrive in a male dominated world spending many years in Technical sales at Microsoft.

Now as Executive Director of Haltech, Shann is involved in many programs supporting Halton Region.

Shann and I speak in detail of one program in particular, Beyond Boundaries. The Business Accelerator for Women Entrepreneurs. She shared the business case that brought it to light, the impact it ha had on women led businesses, some statistics showing the needle is moving in the right direction and much more.

“Done is better than perfect” 

"Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, focus in on needs of women entrepreneurs"

If you are a female founder, know one or are thinking of becoming one, tune it to this episode. Shann shares insights, and tactics on how we can over come many obstacles unique to women. Just to name a few:

1) Sales  is not a bad word- leveraging our innate abilities to help other

2) Surround yourself with a strong community- When times get tough, understanding you are not along goes a long way

3) Be kind to yourself, turn off the negative self talk in our heads- The pandemic became about survival for some women, focus on what we can control and leave the rest out.
