Using her business for the force of good, Jillian Ryan is the founder of a “give back” company, Marie Mae. Marie Mae Company produces sustainable, corporate gifts that give back because every purchase provides an hour of business school for one person around the world. In the United States, she works with non-profits who refer women who were involving in trafficking or were abused to find their right place in the business world through the education arm of her company. She is doing virtual classes and helping them to learn how to do a virtual interview.
It is a particularly difficult time for women in these vulnerable situations. They are either in group homes or an apartment. Their resilience and outlook is amazing, but, when you peel it back, you can see how scared they are.
Jillian has had some typical business problems with the pandemic. Her supply chain completely shut down, but they still had demand from corporate clients. So they had to get creative. She put together a productivity gift bundle for people working from home that companies could send out as a thank you. She also put together a wellness kit with essential oils and worked with a local candle company.
You can go to her website, Mariemae.com, and send a gift to someone who is working from home, whether you are company or an individual. It can be themed such as Easter or another holiday.
