From the Team to your Grandmother

In the second episode of the Kind of a Big Deal podcast, co-hosts Natalie Woodbridge and Mike Burke dive deeper into the 2degrees Auckland Business Awards, discussing who can enter, the entry process, and the different categories available.

Natalie and Mike stress the importance of bringing your team into the entry process, as it not only helps to create a stronger submission but can also drive excellence within your business. They also introduce the concept of the "Grandmother Approach," which involves writing your entry in a way that your grandmother would understand, to ensure clarity and simplicity in your submission.  They talk about why this is important and why it makes an impact on your entry being strong. 

The hosts also discuss the significance of the awards as a badge of excellence within the business community and how they can help to elevate and validate not only your brand but your internal strategies.

As the episode continues, Natalie and Mike take a closer look at the various award categories, sharing insights into what each category entails and providing examples of businesses that have excelled in each one.

Overall, the episode offers valuable advice and tips for businesses looking to enter the 2degrees Auckland Business Awards and highlights the importance of recognising and celebrating excellence within the community.
