In this week’s episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Geraud Staton, Executive Director of Helius. Geraud shares how Helius provides training and coaching for small businesses and necessity-driven entrepreneurs. They work closely with small business owners to help them earn and pay a fair living wage.The program starts with a 10-week business training program that ends with participants having a business plan and a working, 1-year strategic plan. Then, Helius students move on to a full one-year coaching program where they meet monthly with in-house coaches as well as a bevy of subject matter experts from the community who are all working with one goal in mind: to ensure our clients can create the strongest business possible, earning a fair living wage for employees and business owners alike!​Show Highlights Overview of Helius and how it supports necessity based entrepreneurs earn and pay a living wage (1:35)How Helius helps entrepreneurs build their teams, identifying their customers and how to deliver value to those customers are keys to that success (13:15)How the Helius tema invests in their team and how this helps deliver an exceptional customer experience (24:00)Helius Success Stories!!!
