My guest this week on “I HAVE TODAY with Diane Forster” is the incredible Felena Hanson. Felena calls herself “unemployable” after her position was eliminated in 2003.  She became an entrepreneur back then…and she's never looked back! When Felena launched her first business, Perspective Marketing, she found her passion for supporting other female entrepreneurs through leadership roles with several professional women's organizations, including Women's Global Network and Ladies Who Launch. In 2010, Felena recognized the trend of the gig economy and the rise of coworking spaces. After nine months of research, she saw a gap in the market for a space that was especially welcoming to women. She launched her first coworking space in San Diego, California, in 2011 and has since built six additional locations across the country. Hera Hub, named after the Greek Goddess of Women, still stands out in the sea of thousands of coworking spaces. This is not only due to its spa-inspired elements but also because of the robust business support.  In addition to in-person, community-building events, the online platform provides members with daily mentoring, accountability, and educational sessions to keep them connected and productive.  Over the last decade, Hera Hub and its family of brands have helped over 13,000 women start or grow their businesses.  Felena is on a mission to reach over 20,000 women. Felena is a published author and international speaker.  Her book, “Flight Club – Rebel, Reinvent, and Thrive: How to Launch Your Dream Business” is available on Amazon. And…on top of all this…Felena had a catastrophic accident in her twenties that it's a miracle she is alive talk about today! Join us for a lively conversation as Felena shares her wisdom and advice to being a women business owner TODAY!

Nous ne sommes pas tous faits pareils. Ce qui nous motive, ce qui nous passionne, nos valeurs, nos priorités dans la vie, tous ces traits font de nous qui nous sommes, avec notre style particulier, avec nos besoins particuliers, avec nos tocs particuliers. Cette semaine sur Au-delà de la thèse avec Papa PhD, je t'apporte un autre trésor de la voûte – ma conversation avec Mrim Boutla, où l'on trace des liens entre la neuroplasticité, les différentes approches à l'expérience du doctorat, et les stratégies gagnantes d'exploration de carrière et de recherche d'emploi après le doctorat. Mrim Boutla est une docteure en neuroplasticité devenu coach de carrière. À l'Université de Brown et à la Kelley School of Business (Université de l'Indiana), Mrim a encadré avec succès des centaines de diplômés en arts, des MPA, des MBA et des docteurs pour qu'ils obtiennent des emplois leur permettant de maximiser leur impact et leurs revenus. En tant qu'entrepreneure social, Mrim a reçu le prix AshokaU/Cordes 2013 pour avoir lancé More Than Money Careers en partenariat avec le Dr Mark Albion (professeur fondateur de Net Impact). Le logiciel MTMCareers a permis à plus de 5 000 diplômés de se familiariser, de réseauter et d'être embauchés pour des stages et des emplois qui allient compensations financières et impact social et gestion de l'environnement. Mrim fait office de mentor pour les startups par le biais de I-Corps, HeraHub, NETVA et AccelerateDC. Mi-Suisse et mi-Marocaine, Mrim a été la première de sa famille à suivre des études au-delà de la 9e année. Elle a commencé son parcours aux États-Unis en tant qu'étudiante F-1 et est devenue citoyenne américaine en 2015. Mrim a obtenu une licence/maîtrise en psychologie à l'Université Catholique de Louvain, en Belgique, une maîtrise et un doctorat en sciences cérébrales et cognitives à l'Université de Rochester, et a effectué son stage postdoctoral en neuroplasticité à l'université de Brown. Au-delà du travail, Mrim aime les voyages à l'international et regarder les matchs de la NBA avec sa fille. Ce que tu apprendras dans cet épisode : L'intérêt de bâtir ta mosaïque de passions durant ton doctorat ou au moment où tu commences à explorer tes choix de carrières possiblesChoisir un domaine d'activité professionnelle, c'est shoisir une tribu qui reflète tes valeurs et tes passionsLe chemin vers ton emploi de rêve n'est pas une ligne droite, mais un ensemble de moments souvent inattendus tissés ensemble par tes choix à chacun d'entre euxLes quatre piliers du transfert de compétences développées au doctoratLes perles de sagesse de Mrim:« Je trouve que vraiment qu'on est des êtres très, très sociaux et, donc, trouver ta tribu de personnes comme Papa PhD ou autre, ça te donne un tramplin vers l'espoir, ça te donne un tramplin vers le chapitre prochain. Et c'est ça, en fait qui me donne ma motivation à moi quand je vois dans les yeux ou dans la posture des gens que d'un coup, d'un seul, ils trouvent "Ah, oui! C'est ça dont j'ai besoin pour bouger le Schmilblick un petit peu plus." Et c'est très individuel, mais dans les articles LinkedIn que je partage, je donne beaucoup de ces ressources pour qu'ils puissent un petit peu regarder qu'est-ce qu'il y a d'autre et qu'est qu'il y a ailleurs. »« J'ai découvert autour de moi qu'il y a des gens qui sont fascinés d'accumuler données pour découvrir et comprendre. Et ça, c'est vraiment les académiques. Mais moi, j'étais fascinée de découvrir pour comprendre, mais ma compréhension devait donner place à de l'action, à du changement, à traduire cette découverte dans quelque chose de tangible qui va aider les gens à se comprendre, à comprendre les autres, et puis à bâtir ces ponts de compréhension mutuelle et de résolution de conflits. Et je sais que si je reste dans le domaine académique je peux faire du beau boulot, mais je serai 80 % de mon temps devant MATLAB à analyser des images d'IRM. Et je déteste ça.

Felena Hanson is the Founder of Hera Hub, a spa-inspired, shared work space and business accelerator centered around female entrepreneurs. Felena takes us through her journey founding Hera Hub as an entrepreneur. Rewinding back to 2010, she was running a small marketing and consulting firm as well as teaching students part-time at a fashion institute. One of her prime goals at the time was to host an eco fashion show, and while searching for the perfect location, stumbled upon San Diego’s first ever coworking space, The HIVE. She fell in love with the idea and almost immediately realized that she wanted to launch something similar of her own. So, in 2011, she founded Hera Hub.  Her main purpose in creating a co-working facility was to foster a greater sense of community among entrepreneurs around the country. Though female focused, the company is open to anyone interested in meeting like-minded individuals in the business world. With COVID-19, Felena has introduced a virtual membership to ensure community growth and support amidst the pandemic.  Listen in with host Neal Bloom as Felena details her life as an entrepreneur driven to have an impact on her community, and her plans moving into 2021.   Felena’s favorite local tacos: City Tacos   Connect with Felena: LinkedIn   Keep up with Hera Hub: Website: https://herahub.com/ LinkedIn Facebook: @herahub   Thanks to our partners at Cox Business for their support in enabling us to grow the San Diego ecosystem.

Interview with Felena Hanson, Founder of Hera Hub and San Diego based entrepreneur. Part of a podcast series by Patricia Kathleen who interviews female and female-identified entrepreneurs, founders, business owners, and gurus across all industries to investigate women (and women identified individuals) in business today.

In this episode of Turning Lemons to Lemonade, you are going to hear from Felena Hanson.  Felena is a serial entrepreneur who has run marketing agencies, been a professor, and most recently launched a number of companies such as Hera Hub, Hera Labs, and Hera Venture Summit.  In Greek Mythology, Hera was the Queen of the Gods.  Hera serves as the inspiration of the Hera Companies. I met Felena in 2011, just after I launched my second San Diego fitness studio.  We were sitting at a networking event, chatting over wine, when she told me a bit more about what she was doing!  Felena was launching her first Hera Hub women’s co-working space in Sorrento Valley San Diego, but was running into struggles locking down her location. Felena spoke a lot of some of her biggest struggles being a women who is building out brick and mortar locations, and dealing with landlords, contractors, and other very male dominated professions – and the fact that she was often marginalized as a woman!  This truly fueled her push for even more resources for women who want to grow businesses of their own! As we chatted, Felena said that she had recently been asked if she had founded Hera Hub in response to the #MeToo movement.  She explained that Hera Hub had been around for years.  Although it is a women focused co-working space, they have men members.  She described how Hera Hub was created so women could invite men to their table – and we could have needed dialogue about business. If you are a woman business owner in San Diego, you must visit Hera Hub.  If you’ve been looking for a women’s co-working space in your town – maybe you’re the right person to launch one!  Hera Hub is licensing new locations!

En nuestro programa “Mundo Coworking” hacemos un repaso de las tendencias que se han consolidado en el sector de los espacios de trabajo colaborativos, ¿qué es lo que más se lleva este año? ¿Cuáles son las tendencias que se están consolidando? Te lo contamos todo en nuestro nuevo podcast MÓNICA A ver cómo funciona este cacharro, uf, qué de botoncitos y lucecitas, esto parece el Enterprise… MÓNICA Bien, ahora pongo la fecha, le doy a la palanca… ¡y nos ponemos en marcha! ¡Viajamos al futuro! MÓNICA Amigos de “Mundo Coworking”, estamos viviendo un auténtico hito, nos encontramos en pleno viaje al futuro para descubrir, en exclusiva, cómo serán los coworking de la próxima era. MÓNICA Uy, ¡esto se ha parado! ¿Qué ha pasado? Esperad, ¡que no cunda el pánico! Voy a salir… Allá voy con mi micrófono, al filo de la noticia. ¡Qué emocionante! Ya estoy fuera. Ah, pues estoy en una calle normal y corriente… No veo replicantes ni naves espaciales… Interesante… Debemos estar en un futuro bastante cercano. Ay, mira, un kiosco, a ver qué fecha pone en los periódicos: diciembre de 2018… Bueno, no somos Marty McFly, pero es más que suficiente para analizar las últimas tendencias en coworking. ¡Vamos allá! A ver qué datos me da la máquina del tiempo de esta nueva era a la que hemos viajado… Por lo que veo en la pantalla, 2018 ha sido un año de crecimiento. La Coworking Spain Conference de 2017 cifró en 1500 el número de espacios colaborativos en España, lo que es una barbaridad si tenemos en cuenta que en 2010, solo había 50 y la tendencia sigue en alza. Voy a localizar algún coworking para ver qué se cuece en él y qué cambios se han consolidado respecto a otros años. Ah, mira, ¡qué casualidad! Ahí hay uno… Voy para allá, qué reportaje me está saliendo, al filo siempre al filo… Ya estoy entrando… Efectivamente es un coworking y, por lo que veo, está a la última… Vamos a ver qué tendencias sigue. Por lo que veo en la pantalla, 2018 ha sido un año de crecimiento. La Coworking Spain Conference de 2017 cifró en 1500 el número de espacios colaborativos en España, lo que es una barbaridad si tenemos en cuenta que en 2010, solo había 50 y la tendencia sigue en alza. Voy a localizar algún coworking para ver qué se cuece en él y qué cambios se han consolidado respecto a otros años. Ah, mira, ¡qué casualidad! Ahí hay uno… Voy para allá, qué reportaje me está saliendo, al filo siempre al filo… Ya estoy entrando… Efectivamente es un coworking y, por lo que veo, está a la última… Vamos a ver qué tendencias sigue. La primera salta a la vista: se trata del diseño en la experiencia del usuario, lo que se conoce como UX. En estos tiempos, si te quieres diferenciar, tendrás que hacerlo desde el primer contacto del cliente con tu coworking… O incluso antes de que el usuario entre en el espacio. La clave está en diseñar el recorrido de la persona desde que se interesa por el lugar hasta que se hace coworker. Y este viaje consta de tres partes: Una: el primer contacto Dos: la presentación del espacio Tres: la introducción a la comunidad cuando la persona se hace usuaria. Voy a ver las instalaciones de este coworking tan moderno, tan de 2018. Está claro que se han preocupado de todos los detalles… El espacio está bien distribuido, es atractivo e invita a trabajar. Para tener contentos a los clientes hay que cuidar lo que ven y oyen mientras hacen sus tareas. Ahora que me fijo bien, ¡qué grande es este coworking! Efectivamente, esa es una de las tendencias del futuro más próximo. Las grandes empresas como WeWork, Spaces o Talent Garden, han entrado de lleno en el mercado y ya se están haciendo un hueco en España. Está claro que cuanto más grande sea el coworking, más rentable. Pero entonces, ¿qué ocurre con los pequeños? Que tienen que especializarse y marcar la diferencia apostando por nichos concretos del mercado. Así tendrán un negocio estable y se distinguirán respecto a la competencia. Un buen ejemplo es Herahub, en Estocolmo, que está dedicado exclusivamente a las mujeres emprendedoras. La idea es que compartan equipos de trabajo con un precio muy alto como material artístico o de odontología. Así pueden ahorrar costes y trabajar en lo suyo. Por lo que veo, en este coworking todo el mundo parece trabajar en algo interesante, con impacto social. Por ahí, hay unos chicos trabajando en una revista sobre ética, por allá, unos arquitectos diseñan una construcción sostenible… Está claro que esa es otra tendencia que se ha consolidado: los coworking que acogen a los promotores del cambio que la sociedad necesita. En el pasado, ya hubo algunas iniciativas interesantes. Me viene a la cabeza, el caso de Coworking Spain Solidario, una iniciativa de varios espacios de trabajo colaborativo que acordaron, en plena crisis, ceder un lugar a los profesionales en paro a cambio de sinergias, proyectos y compromiso. Esto refuerza otra de las tendencias del coworking moderno: el fomento de la comunidad a nivel local. En este espacio en el que me encuentro, la gran mayoría de los usuarios son de la zona y el coworking se encarga de potenciar las relaciones entre ellos. Por lo que veo, las previsiones que se hicieron sobre lo que iba a pasar este año se están cumpliendo. Actualmente, España se encuentra en el puesto número 3 en número de espacios coworking en el mundo, solo por detrás de Estados Unidos (que supera los 300 millones de habitantes) y Alemania (con más de ochenta millones). La proporción está clara. La competencia es alta por lo que los coworking tendrán que adaptarse al mercado laboral que no para de evolucionar y adaptarse a todos los cambios que vengan. Ahora que lo pienso, a la chita callando hay otras tendencias que se van abriendo camino. Por ejemplo, cada vez hay más grandes empresas que optan por instalar a parte de sus plantillas en un coworking para que compartan ideas, colaboren y trabajen motivados en un ambiente que les enriquezca. Y también están los espacios colaborativos en el mundo rural que, como os contamos en otro programa, contribuyen a atraer emprendedores y evitan el éxodo a la ciudad. Por no hablar de los horarios tan locos que tenemos los freelances, a los que probablemente los coworking tengan que dar respuesta abriendo las 24 horas, ¡qué le vamos a hacer! La conclusión a la que hemos llegado, después de este viaje al mini futuro es que, lo que se mantiene en el tiempo es la necesidad de contar con espacios colaborativos en los que podamos trabajar y entrar en contacto con personas que nos aporten nuevas visiones y enfoques. ¿Qué nos deparará los próximos años? No lo sabemos y, con lo escacharrada que está nuestra máquina del tiempo, vamos a tener que esperar para averiguarlo. ¡Y hasta aquí nuestro viaje en el tiempo con “Mundo Coworking”! Dentro de quince días volveremos con un nuevo programa en el que te seguiremos contando cosas apasionantes de este sector que tanto nos gusta. Además, cada mes publicaremos una entrevista en profundidad con un coworker de The Shed Co para que nos cuente los entresijos de su profesión, los aspectos más interesantes de su trabajo y cómo vive su experiencia en un coworking. Por cierto, si te ha gustado el programa. ¡No te cortes!

More and more women today are stepping up as entrepreneurs. What will it take for them to succeed? The world of entrepreneurs has largely been dominated by men. Now, that's beginning to change. According to the U.S. Census, there's been more than a 30-percent jump in female business owners. Still, their path to success might be somewhat different than that of men. On this episode, the second of two focusing on entrepreneurship, we speak with author, marketing expert and serial entrepreneur Felena Hanson. She's the founder of Hera Hub, a shared workspace and community for female innovators. With six locations around the world and growing, it supports hundreds of aspiring business executives in more than 16 industry segments.

Felena Hanson was just another woman working from home when she came up with a brilliant idea. While working at home for eight years, she missed having a sense of community and often time struggled to focus. The options in the market at the time, while uber-hip and high tech, were lacking an environment that felt beautiful and clean to her. She realized she was craving a coworking space designed by women, for women, so Felena embarked on creating what she couldn’t find.   And now, five years later, Hera Hub is the first international coworking and shared office space for women (though open to men as well) from Washington, D.C. to Stockholm, Sweden. And although the company specializes in providing inspired spaces for women to work from, the company also hosts training sessions on planning, accounting and other business services – providing continuous support and advice for its members. They also offer an endless supply of coffee and wine! After all, Felena says, in Hera Hub spaces women are truly trying to help one another. “I wanted to create something that was bigger than myself, and bigger than the city that I’m in,” Felena says. “ … It’s an ecosystem of support, collaboration and community.” In episode 31 of I Want Her Job: The Podcast, Editor and Host Polina Selyutin speaks with Felena about launching a business, making mistakes and building a community.

Welcome to Episode 22 of Products of the Mind. On this episode, I speak with lifelong entrepreneur and founder of Hera Hub, Felena Hanson. “It’s not about segregation, we have men in the space every day. It’s about creating that environment and that community where women can flourish.” What do you do when you experience three layoffs before the age of 30? Unleash the “entrepreneurial spirit” and become a solopreneur! Today we chat with Felena Hanson, founder of Hera Hub: a spa-inspired coworking space for female entrepreneurs. Felena tells us about growing up in an entrepreneurial family; the decision on whether or not to go to college; and the struggle of being a professional marketer in the tech industry. We’ll learn about how Felena’s trials and tribulations as a marketer initiated her desire to create something new, and how her successful “something new” brought more trials and tribulations. Felena discusses the challenges associated with franchising, and how commercial real estate can be a roadblock for entrepreneurs and startups. What is a coworking space? How does Hera Hub differ from executive suites and other office environments, and why is this such a valuable need? There’s a “prediction that 50-60% of knowledge-based workforce will be independent by 2020…where will all these people work (besides Starbucks)?” Tune in to find out!

Join us today on Women Leading the Way Radio, as Barbara Eldridge, your host of Trend Setting Women, interviews Felena Hanson, Founder of Hera Hub. Felena will talk about how many women running small businesses also have to juggle family life, and therefore feel an affinity with other women in the same situation. A supportive environment where women feel they easily relate to others helps get to that point in the relationship where they know, like, and trust the other person and are therefore more likely to ask for feedback or refer business. Hera Hub is set up to provide a supportive, female focused environment. Barbara Eldridge is your host of Trend Setting Women, a show that is intense, informative and always interesting. Trend Setting Women focuses on showcasing women owners who play the game of business and never give up.
