3 Reasons Why Apologizing Hurts Your Business
From Entrepreneur.com:
When things go wrong in your business, do you apologize? I’m not so sure that you should — at least not as much. Apologies change the dynamics of the relationships with your clients. The more that companies apologize, the less meaning it has. Apologies open the door for more costs.
“At what point does the consumer — your customer or client — step up and assume some responsibility here?

About Heather Johnson:
Heather grew up moving from place to place. Dramatic cultural transitions defined each move: Hawaii to suburban Chicago; Rio Grande du Sol, Brazil to Heber City, Utah; Woking, Surrey, England to Houston, Texas. This process, along with an entrenched fondness for motorcycles and long road trips, has inspired her investigation of rootlessness, of moving through space without connecting to it. Her work examines spaces from the perspective of an outsider looking in, positioning the viewer to gaze intimately at things that are temporary, generally ignored, or distorted by memory.
Gallery Aferro has a wide range of work by Johnson currently on view at Equal Space. Sales directly support the artist’s current solo motorcycle journey across the US, Mexico, and South America.
Women-in-novation
March 8th , 2015
12:30pm – 5:30pm
Bringing women of diverse backgrounds and stellar talents together, Women-In-novation event is the sum total of many organizations belief that when you bring truly remarkable individuals together support, solutions and possibilities are endless. A day of conversation, activities and panels the theme is to share women’s professional journeys and innovation in today’s workplace the result will be to build a better future for all women tomorrow.
“I think that while education and support for youth programs are extremely important, they don’t have to be the only project women work on. In fact, learning how to make money on a profitable business model, becoming a successful tech entrepreneur and then funding education and youth programs is another way to have a big impact on those areas and it empowers women to hold the purse strings.
Fun fact: Women entrepreneurs are 18% less likely to get funding from VCs, but according to research done by Emory University, are ~5% more likely to report a profit. Time to change that from 18% less likely, to 50% more likely – what do ya say?”
