  It's hard to believe that when Jenn Wilhelm started her journey in the wine industry that she was a terrified young woman who couldn't pronounce the names of grapes, let alone the places where the grapes were grown and the wine was made. Yet here she is now, enjoying an unbelievably rich life. Jenn was a member of the first graduating class of the Canadian Association of Professional Sommeliers - and at a time when very few women were in the field. She managed restaurants and learned every aspect of the food service industry. She became a full-time instructor and managed wine and hospitality programs at Niagara College. She was mentored by passionately committed people, including pioneering women in the Niagara wine industry, without whom, as Jenn says, "The industry would not exist as we know it today." And to give back and commemorate those women, she's now writing a book about them. Can't wait to read it, Jenn!!! Listen to the joy and passion in Jenn's voice - she's doing what she loves to do in a part of a world she's in love with. And she's sharing that joy and passion here at Wine Behind the Scenes. What you will learn from this episode: Find out the most important thing about the wine industry that you have to work on, first and foremost. Hear of one fundamental connection to the wine that makes the whole idea of winemaking and buying wine an enjoyable experience. Know about the book that recounts stories of women who made a very significant contribution to the flourishing industry that wine is now. Learn how relationship-building is key to one's success in the wine business Find out the core characteristics you must carry with you to make it in the wine industry and in all others that you want to excel in. Hear stories of struggles and triumphs, as well as passion, love, and dedication that will help you navigate the world of wine and the people who are passionately involved in it. Jennifer Wilhelm has worked in hospitality and event management for 30 years. She is a certified Sommelier by the Canadian Association of Professional Sommeliers (CAPS). She holds credentials from the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) in both wine and spirits, credentials from Prud'homme Beer, and a diploma in Hospitality Management. She joined Niagara College in 2006 as an instructor, was Wine Program Coordinator from 2009 to 2014, developed and taught classes in the wine, beer, spirits, culinary, and hospitality programs. She is a past board member and instructor for the Canadian Association of Professional Sommeliers, international wine judge, and VQA panelist. Jenn has been the recipient of several prestigious awards, including Ontario Wine Educator of the Year through the VQA Promoters Awards, 40 Under 40 Business Achievement Award, and in 2014 was awarded the Lieutenant Governor's Community Volunteer Award for her contributions to the Ontario wine industry. She is currently completing a book about the women who shaped the foundation of the Ontario wine industry, a compilation of memoires, tributes, and yet untold behind-the-scenes stories of these influential women and their contributions. She believes it crucial that the significant impact these extraordinary women have had on the industry itself and as mentors to generations of those of us working in the industry today is documented and appreciated. When she doesn't have her nose in a glass of wine or a book, Jenn's happy place is the garden. Her early restaurant experience introduced her to Ontario's passionate and dedicated farmers. Understanding how and where both grapes and food are grown has always been important to Jenn. If she isn't growing it herself, you will hear her enthusiastically promoting local organic farmers. Most recently, she took that love of growing to another level and traded her traditional classroom for a unique farm and field experience at Mingle Hill Organic Farm. In her newly created role as Experience Facilitator, she creates and leads one-of-a-kind interactive workshops, and corporate retreats for folks looking to embrace a healthy lifestyle. Get in touch with Jennifer Wilhelm: Website: www.minglehill.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iso_jenniejoy/ Email add: jwilhelmrose@gmail.com Topics Covered: 01:49 - Taking it all back to Niagara College, where everything started for Jenn and where she and Laurel met 04:31 - How building solid relationships with people creates a domino effect 07:06 - Becoming one among the first graduating class of the Canadian Association of Professional Sommeliers [ after that terrifying and intimidating experience ] 09:38 - Her strength and the critical factor in building her reputation and credibility in the industry 12:32 - Not just about the wine; it's about the people and the connections you make 14:14 - Finding the time to get connected with past students and colleagues 15:04 - A book she authored that speaks of appreciation and gratitude towards the women who started it all and made wine a flourishing industry that it is now 21:02 - More reasons to look forward to Jenn's book 22:40 - Talking to the Jenn of 30 years ago [ advice she would give herself then] 24:03 - Would she have thought then to end up where she is now? 26:47 - Focusing not just on a bottle of wine; but also on the passion, love, and dedication that goes into winemaking Quotes from Jennifer Wilhelm: "I was quite intimidated by the fact that I hadn't traveled. I didn't have money, so I didn't have a wine cellar." "The truth is that in my early twenties, wine terrified me. It absolutely terrified me." "We said we'll work for wine. And we did." "The more we worked together and the more we tasted, the more we learned and the more passionate we became." "We now in the industry have so much experience, but back then, in the seventies, and early eighties, selling Ontario wine and even using the words premium Ontario wine in the same sentence was unheard of." "We are all more than our career and our profession that people see." "There's so much passion and love and dedication in each wine bottle."

How to Return to What Brings You Joy  with Terri Hines When you were a kid, dabbling in what brings you joy with no expectations is easy. You enjoyed arts, sports, or play because they made you happy. But as you grow up, what brings you joy gets locked away to give space for other matters. And, in the process, you lose sight of who you are. In this episode, master storyteller Terri Hines invites us to tap into our creative selves and wake up from this self-induced sleep. She explains that finding a way to reconnect with that dormant part of ourselves can help us stay grounded against worldly and inner chaos. Terri also emphasizes the importance of looking within and checking on yourself daily. When your heart, soul, and spirit are healthy, you can better love other people. If you want to know how to reconnect with your creative spirit and rediscover what brings you joy, then tune in to the full episode. Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: Find out how to wake up your sleeping passion.  Learn to check in with yourself daily and practice self-compassion.  Discover how Terri feels radically loved.

Episode Highlights Lessons from 2020 Despite 2020 being chaotic, Terri remains optimistic that 2021 is a chance for rebirth. 2020 may have been a cocoon, but 2021 can be a butterfly. In the past year, Terri shed old layers, tapped into her creative spirit, and rediscovered her true self. Go Back to What Brings You Joy Being a media professional for live TV, Terri is used to that always-on lifestyle, so stepping out of that was a real challenge. Terri grew up in a musical family; she learned how to play an instrument, sing, and play sports. Today, Terri is rediscovering her forgotten talent for singing with the help of a voice coach. She also plans to take up piano lessons again. Terri feels reborn as a new woman. Catalyst for Change During her birthday in August, Terri went on a trip to Cabo with friends. The trip offered an opportunity for reflection. Terri started reassessing what she wanted to do and what she wanted her life to be. Along the way, she met her current voice coach, who set her on the path to rediscovery. On Stifling Terri gave up on singing and playing the piano to focus on building her career. Her dad encouraged her to attend a performing arts school, but she refused. If she went to the school her father wanted, things might have been different, and she wouldn't have to stifle her passion. When her communications career took off, Terri's passion went to sleep. She's waking up now. Going Inside Although some people find introspection scary, Terri didn't mind it at all. The pandemic forced everyone to look at the mirror and recognize how life has turned out. What do you do well, and what should you eliminate? What layers should you shed to get in touch with your authentic self? Meditation was a great way to go inward. She was initially skeptical, but Terri rediscovered the power of meditation through Insight Timer. Guided meditation has been a life-changer for Terri. Looking Within In our fast-paced world, we tend to forget ourselves. We can easily ask others how they're feeling, but we fail to give ourselves that same courtesy. If your heart, soul, and spirit are not healthy, how can you love other people? There are more triggers and stressors than ever, which is why you have to find a way to stay grounded. Whether it's exercise, yoga, or journaling, find something that helps you check in with yourself and look within. Nourishing the Soul Coming from a demanding corporate career, Terri found it challenging to stop self-judgment and criticism. Terri's slowly learning to bring the walls of judgment down and embrace vulnerability. When her voice coach asked Terri about her purpose, she responded that her calling is to give love. Even though she felt like she didn't know what to do with her purpose, her niece echoed the sentiment. Terri is a natural motivator who gets people to listen. Terri found that her purpose is to give love through motivation. Radically Loved Terri feels radically loved by showing up and greeting the day with a smile and an open heart. As an optimist, she chooses to focus on the good. She feels radically loved by her girlfriend circle and family, who support and challenge her to grow. 5 Powerful Quotes [04:47] “You know that butterflies just resonate for me just generally speaking, because I feel like butterflies for me represent a rebirth.” [07:51] “So I sang, I played the piano, and I ran track. So I never knew, I never knew there was an option not to do that.” [09:57] “You know, listening to the rolls of the water and the ocean. Just to really think differently about what I want to do, and what I want my life to look like and what I want my niece and nieces to think about, thereon. [14:50] “And so I always think back--even before the career, before college--like if I had, if I had I had chosen to go to school for performing arts, what would my life look like?” [17:27] “But anyway, I, um, you know, it really forces you to look in the mirror, and really see what's in the heart and hat propels you? What wires you? What motivates you? What things you need to get rid of, right?” About Terri Terri Hines is the Executive Vice President for Communications and chief spokesperson for FOX Sports.

Talk to me about that experience. How did you get his attention? What inspired you to become a leader in Canada regarding business and marketing?  I love how you have a full-time job at a Credit Union, but yet have your side hustles in becoming a LinkedIn influencer, speaking, and building and influencing a community. How do you manage all that time? As we all know that your heavily engaged on LinkedIn and reaching millions of people, how did your LinkedIn influencer journey start? At the end of the day, most of us want to help and inspire others, so can you provide any thoughts, processes, or tips on what worked for you in terms of reaching so many people, connecting with them, and building an online community? Do you feel that LinkedIn encourages more quantity in terms of content or more quality with purpose? Sometimes I hear both from different people.  In your experience, do you think all social platforms are getting harder to not be a needle in a haystack in terms of standing out and receiving engagement? Where do you think social media is headed, primarily LinkedIn? I know you speak lots about leadership and building community, what tips can you give future and even current business leaders on how to be a leader?    Three How's: How do you define failure?
