Скачать или смотреть The Presentation Company: Janine Kurnoff & Lee Lazarus; Sisters and Business Partners

People ask us all the time what it's like working together as sisters because most say they could never work with their sibling but, we love it and we are really different. I (Janine Kurnoff) manage product development and global training, definitely the perfectionist in the family. I do have a tendency to get mired in the details but when you are working with clients like Apple and Facebook and Microsoft the details matter.

I (Lee Lazarus) am on the other side of the business focused on our custom solutions. What really keeps me up at night is making sure that are our offerings are mapping to our client's needs and that we are constantly listening to their challenges and pain points.

Working Together
Working with your sister is definitely not for everyone but we share a lot of the same core values that are parents instilled in us. I mean sure we were like any other siblings we would argue a ton. But our parents always told us "You are on the same team". So we learned quickly to work together to solve problems as sisters and now as business partners. We relish the idea of going on a business trip and sharing a hotel room because we talk work, we talk life, we talk family, we talk work again and it kind of all blurs together, but it's fun.

Starting The Presentation Company
A while back we discovered a major disconnect in business communication. Business professionals are responsible for presenting critical information to management, to customers, to stakeholders and they were lacking the ability to effectively use presentation technology to tell their story.

Working Virtually
We do a lot of virtual meetings and we train our customers, now virtually we don't always go into a classroom to teach them. Working virtually has had a profound impact on our business as women, as entrepreneurs and as mothers. Working virtually has allowed us to reach more customers globally as well as really attract new talent that we otherwise never would have had access to. It allows us to a better work-life balance and still do what we love. It's really changed the way we work.

(Janine) Success to me is about listening to your customers, staying current and being relevant.

(Lee) I would add it's about management and growth of a healthy company and keeping check of what's really important to us, which is our families.

Our Culture
We really do consider ourselves lucky to have our amazing families and such a powerful team at TPC. The company culture at TPC is based on a team of highly motivated, hard working and incredibly smart people. We work hard and we play hard. And I think our customer's really appreciate that about us. They see that we are real people who don't hide the fact that we have real lives outside of our work. We are so passionate about what we do and honored to be making such an impact with our customers, our community and our family.

We are sisters and we are The Presentation Company.
