Rachel talks with Munir about the challenges of starting and growing Hillberg & Berk, and what makes for good governance on a board of directors.Rachel Mielke's success story has made her somewhat-of-a Saskatchewan legend, but it isn't simply the fiscal achievements and scale-up of Hillberg & Berk that Rachel celebrates. From the beginning, her desire has been to work from a social enterprise model and to that end, Hillberg & Berk have made combatting gender-specific issues their mandate and part of the company values. Rachel tells Munir which organizations Hillberg & Berk supports, why, and how she and the board work to ensure every level of the company is infused with these same values.By forming her own board of Advisors and sitting on the boards of several other organizations, Rachel has honed a keen understanding of what makes a good board run well and what stumbling blocks a board can encounter. She shares insights that may seem fundamental but can profoundly impact a board's success and discusses with Munir what effective governance looks like in her experience. Rachel's determination to maintain Hillberg & Berk's social and community commitments is instrumental to how she and her board make decisions and this conversation shines a light on how she and her company have inspired such loyalty and success.About Rachel Mielke:Rachel Mielke, CEO & Founder of Hillberg & Berk, began the company at her kitchen table. Over 17 years, H&B has expanded to 15 retail stores across Canada, gaining recognition from Dragon's Den to the Olympics and even Queen Elizabeth. __Resources discussed in this episode:'Dragons' Den Update: Hillberg & Berk - Flagship' CBC YouTube video uploaded November 10, 200—Contact Munir Haque | ActionEdge Executive Development: Website: AEEDNow.comLinkedin: Action Edge Executive Development Inc.Podcast ProductionRecording:  PushySix StudiosProduction Assistance: Astronomic AudioContact Rachel Mielke: Website: HillbergAndBerk.comInstagramLinkedin—Transcript Rachel Mielke: [00:00:13] I will always go into a board meeting fully convicted on whatever I'm presenting, whatever my beliefs are, and I try and balance that with the reason why I am spending time with them is to learn from their experiences and their, quite often, their failures. We've always managed to be able to get to like a consensus and a good place through, like, respectful dialogue and conversation and debate. And I try and just like always balance my conviction of what to do with just hearing out advice and really thinking through feedback and advice that I'm given from my board.Munir Haque: [00:00:52] Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of The Boardroom 180 podcast. I'm your host Munir Haque, an executive coach and senior board strategist. I have partnered with Action Edge Executive Development to lead their governance and political acumen division. In each episode, we meet with governance leaders and step into their boardrooms where decisions shape the world around us. We'll hear the good, the bad and the ugly, but with a keen focus on where the gaps are, discover emerging best practices and real world tools to better evaluate, guide, and grow you and your boards. Munir Haque: [00:01:22] Today, our guest will be Rachel Mielke. Rachel is a founder and CEO of Hillberg and Berk Jewelry, an iconic Canadian company that was founded at her kitchen table in 2007. She grew her one-woman brand to a multi-million dollar enterprise that now has stores across Western Canada and customers globally. Hillberg and Berk goes beyond fashion. Rachel is using her company as a tool for combating gender-specific issues women face through philanthropy campaigns and organizing her business around a social enterprise model. Hillberg and Berk has proudly supported hundreds of organizations across the globe that uplift women, and has contributed over $10 million in cash and products. She's been recognized numerous times, to name a couple of them, she has a Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal for 2012, the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Medal for 2023, class of winning women for 2015, Top 40 under 40 2017, Canada's 100 Most Powerful Women in 2016 and 2017. She has an honorary Doctor of Law and she is an honorary captain in the Canadian Royal Navy. She is the honorary Chair of the Women's Leading Philanthropy and sits on various boards and committees which support economic development. We're happy to have her with us today. Welcome, Rachel. Rachel Mielke [00:02:40] Thanks. Great to be here. Munir Haque: [00:02:41] Yeah. No, thanks for coming on. You know, I'm from Saskatchewan too, and Rachel's a bit of a kind of a local hero there, a homegrown hero. Everybody in Saskatchewan knows who Rachel is. And I think that's evidenced by, you know, the kind of the amount she's been able to accomplish over a very short time. So let's start a little bit, well I'll tell a little bit of story about how I kind of know you. I actually bought a used car from Rachel's husband. And Rachel's husband, and Rachel contested Rachel's husband's a great guy, and he still texts me every once in a while when he comes across a hack that's good for the car and stuff like that. But I do remember when I brought the car home and I opened the glove box, he'd actually put three jewelry boxes in there, and he had left some jewelry for each of my three children. So if you get a chance, buy a used car from Rachel. It was a pretty good experience. Rachel Mielke: [00:03:39] That's funny. Munir Haque: [00:03:41] So I don't know if you, you know, maybe we can start a little bit of your, kind of your start, your background. Admittedly, I got your intro from the Dress for Success website. That was your bio. Is there anything else that you want to bring to that, or? Rachel Mielke: [00:03:55] Yeah. I mean, my story is starting this business sort of in a way that was really unknown. The industry was unknown to me. Corporate governance was something I had learned from a textbook in university, but I would say I had pretty limited knowledge on and over the course of the last almost 20 years that I've been growing this business, I've learned by making a lot of mistakes. But I think that's also the, like, richest knowledge that you can get is just really going through it and learning things. So yeah, I would say to anyone who's listening, you...

So many layers today...Hours before he was due to appear at the 10th anniversary service of thanksgiving at St Paul's, Harry was spotted leaving an event. Harry waved and said "hello" to onlookers. Holding a black folder under his arm, Harry was asked if he was "happy to be home", to which he simply chuckled and dodged the question by saying: "Nice to see you."We'll take that as no.Royal expert Charlotte Griffiths She claimed Harry made "certain demands" about who could be in the room for a meeting with the King, and who couldn't.  One wonders if the couldn't includes Camilla, the wicked stepmother.Royal expert Rupert Bell suggested to TalkTV "Maybe the King just feels like he's not ready, emotionally, as well as anything else, to have even 30 minutes with his son."Thirty minutes isn't really enough time to get beyond the small talk stage. What they really needs is some honest-to-goodness father and son time."On Wednesday, Prince Harry made a poignant entrance into St. Paul's Cathedral, adorned with four medals proudly displayed on his blazer, accompanied by another around his neck. His attire spoke volumes about his dedicated service and commitment to various causes.The medals adorning his blazer included the Operational Service Medal for Afghanistan, the Queen's Golden Jubilee Medal, the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal, and the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Medal, each symbolizing different milestones and achievements in his service to the nation.Around his neck, he wore a star, a distinguished emblem signifying his status as the Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (RVO), further highlighting his esteemed position within the royal hierarchy.However, amidst the solemnity of the occasion, Prince Harry appeared to stand alone, without any other members of the royal family by his side. While he attended the Invictus Games service at St. Paul's Cathedral, his absence was notable at Buckingham Palace, where the King hosted the inaugural annual garden party, joined by other senior royals.As he entered St. Paul's Cathedral, Prince Harry greeted the crowd with a warm smile and a wave, embodying the spirit of camaraderie and resilience that defines the Invictus Games. His presence at the event, where he was slated to deliver a reading alongside actor Damian Lewis, served as a poignant reminder of his ongoing commitment to serving those who have sacrificed for their country.Harry received a warm welcome from the Dean, the Very Reverend Andrew Tremlett, as he was escorted to his seat beneath the cathedral's majestic dome.Taking his place beside his mentor, Mark Dyer, Prince Harry engaged in a brief exchange with his uncle, Earl Spencer.Acknowledging the stark realities of conflict and its aftermath, the Dean lamented, "We lament the pain, cost, and indignity of war and terror, and pray for a world where justice shall reign and where the nations will find their longed-for unity.""We recall, with admiration, the skill and determination of those who seek to repair, rehabilitate, and reclaim the lives of those living with serious illness or injury: changing and saving lives."..Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told GB News "Mike Tindall, who is the husband of Zara, the King's niece, has been given a high position to do something about the Invictus Games."I think Harry is absolutely furious about this. It has been announced, but very quietly." The Royal Family presented a united front in support of King Charles at the first Buckingham Palace garden party of the summer season. His Majesty was joined by Queen Camilla, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, the Princess Royal, and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester for the event.Charles, dressed in a distinguished grey suit paired with a light blue waistcoat, greeted the gathered crowds with a smile as he entered the garden alongside the Queen.Buckingham Palace announced Prince William and his father would be sharing a joint engagement in the upcoming week. William will be bestowed with the distinguished title of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps.Prior to Prince Harry's decision to step back from royal responsibilities four years ago, it was widely speculated that he would assume this prestigious role, considering his deep connection with the regiment he had bravely served alongside during his time in Afghanistan until 2014.The timing of the announcement, however, raised eyebrows among royal observers. "Timing is everything," remarked one insider. Another insider noted that the King's choice to pass on this cherished role to his eldest son, coupled with the apparent lack of a meeting with Prince Harry, is likely to be interpreted as a deliberate messageRoyal Insider Deep Crown tells us, “"The timing of Prince William's appointment as Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps is no accident."  And as for the King being busy, Deep Crown quipped,  remarks Deep Crown, a seasoned royal insider. "Even I could secure 15 minutes with the King this week, if His Majesty had wanted to make time for me."

In this episode, Jim speaks about important mentors and the support that they gave him in helping him to find his true calling in life. In particular it was Dr. Bob Boucher, the former Dean of Human Kinetics at the University of Windsor, who really believed in Jim and helped to navigate and guide him on his trajectory into academic leadership. Although Jim has had a deep impact in the field of academics, his work in leadership has really been the main source of inspiration and motivation over the past several years. His book The 5C Leader-Exceptional Leadership Practices for Extraordinary Times was released in 2018 and has been widely read and well-received by both aspiring leaders and also experienced leaders in a variety of organizations and businesses. In this book Jim distills over 100 years of leadership research and theory development, couples it with his extensive research program, mixes in his consulting experience and his practical experience and delivers a leadership book rooted in what he calls the 5CsC1 – Credibility, C2 - Compelling Vision, C3 - Charismatic Communicator, C4 - Contagious Enthusiasm, C5 - Culture BuilderWe dive into a conversation about the 5Cs giving specific examples of their application in the role of leadership and also unpack some of the myths around what being a leader means. I highly encourage you to get your hands on a copy of Jim's book, the 5C leader. Links to the book can be found in the show notes of this episode. Thanks for listening and I hope you check out Jim's work.
