Bring Out Your Best Self - The Resiliency Group
Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in personal development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Eileen McDargh, founder and CEO of The Resiliency Group, located in Dana Point, CA, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
The Resiliency Group. Through coaching and facilitation, we help individuals and organizations to unleash energy that brings their best selves forward. We offer a better way to craft work and life by design and not default, to build resilience, inspire hope, and find joy in the process.
Tell us about yourself
I started my parent company, McDargh Communications, in 1980. Over time, lecturing and counseling, I realized that communication with oneself and others is really an energy exchange. Energy is the critical component of resiliency. When I see people smile, nod their heads, and become recharged, I feel inspired!
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
For over five years, the British Research Firm of Global Gurus has ranked me in the top 5 communication consultants worldwide—following a survey of over 25,000 business professionals. I have also written 8 books.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
"Trying to do it all"... being stretched thin.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Develop flexibility.
- Get the support and backing of those who will be impacted by your work (spouse, kids, etc.).
- Do a test run on your concept or offering.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
At the core of any successful enterprise is a willingness to be both a mentor and a constant learner. The older I get, the more I need to learn. And don't be afraid to hire talent for work that is definitely not in your "wheelhouse."
