BNI G.A.I.N.S.

Hi, I’m Jo Rawald, founder of Queen Kong Consulting. With over 25 years of leadership, business tax, and strategic management experience, I'm a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and certifications expert who helps ambitious women entrepreneurs secure their Woman-Owned Business Certifications, and more importantly, teaches women exactly how to turn that certification into massive corporate partnerships, lucrative government contracts, and high-value grant funding.

If women truly knew the goldmine of opportunities America offers women entrepreneurs - they'd ALL be lining up to start their businesses yesterday!

Goals

My "Totally Serious" Business Goals for the Next 6–12 Months

01

Blow Up my CertifyHER program (Not Literally)

Scaling my CertifyHER program like crazy, because let’s face it, seeing women entrepreneurs succeed in certifications and grab juicy contracts and grants gives me life - and also pays for my taco & caffeine addiction.

02

Make Queen Kong Consulting the AI Wonder Woman

03

Become More Famous (Professionally Speaking)

Boosting my visibility by appearing everywhere: stages, podcasts, workshops, webinars... soon, people will start wondering if I’m following them. (Spoiler: I totally am.)

04

Write My Next Best-Seller (Watch Out, Amazon!)

Turning my stories, strategies, and endless wisdom (sprinkled generously with humor and sass) into a must-read business book that'll hit shelves, transform businesses, and secure my dog's gourmet lifestyle for years.

Accomplishments

Celebrating the Big, Small, and Seriously Miraculous

01

Surviving a Head-On Collision

Overcame breaking both arms, both legs, a paralyzed eye, significant brain damage, and a coma - basically, a full-body reboot. Had to re-learn how to walk and talk again, so yes, waking up every day counts as a pretty epic accomplishment in my book.

02

CertifyHER VIP Accelerator

Successfully launched my CertifyHER program. My clients are happy, I'm happy, and now my cats are eating gourmet.

03

White River Rafting Adventure

Survived 4 days with no running water, electricity, wifi, or cell service. I can now confirm that survival without Instagram is possible, but definitely not recommended.

04

Public Speaking (Despite Stage Fright)

Every time I get on stage and deliver a keynote or training is a massive accomplishment. Sure, I've got serious stage fright, but that just means I’m extra brave…or maybe just stubborn.

Interests

Stuff I Love & Won’t Shut Up About

Empowering women entrepreneurs to scale their businesses with certifications, AI, and smart marketing - nothing makes me happier (except maybe tacos…and rescuing animals).

Speaking of rescues, I'm virtually running a mini animal-rescue: we adopted our 110-pound Doberman-Rottweiler (Rotterman), Adelaide, in January 2024 (think cuddly bear meets guard dog). Plus, we have four cats who all wandered into our lives - Spooky, Mr. Pickles, Lucian, and Grayson (who, yes, was actually acquired as payment in a business tax deal…true story!). I'm also borderline obsessed with resilience. Curveballs? Bring 'em on - they're like vitamins for bold living.

Networks

Where I Hang Out & Pretend I’m Working.
Quick Fact: I average about 8 networking events per week. Send caffeine.

01

BNI Broward

Officially a Chapter Success Coach for 7 chapters (BNI Abundance, BNI Legacy, BNI Parkland, BNI Tower Club, BNI Wealth Builders, BNI Wilton Manors, and BNI World Class).

02

NAWBO (National Association of Women Business Owners)

Because networking with smart, driven women is cheaper than therapy and way more fun.

03

The Daily Drip

Where coffee and thought leaders collide. Seriously, need I say more?

04

Fem City

My favorite space for high vibes, big dreams, strategic plotting, and occasional wine sipping.

05

6 Degrees of Golf

Mostly there for breakfast and golf cart rides but, my "serious golfer" nod is Oscar-worthy.

06

National Speakers Association

Give me a microphone, and watch out, world - I’ve got things to say.

07

Monday Business Meats

Who doesn't love potluck dinners paired with solid business networking?

Skills

My Secret Weapons

01

Certifications

Helping women get certified faster than Amazon Prime delivery.

02

Lean Six Sigma wizardry

Making businesses lean, mean, profit-making machines.

03

AI & Automation

Basically, I’m teaching your business how to run itself, minus the coffee breaks.

04

QuickBooks Pro Advisor

Turning financial chaos into clarity because, knowing your numbers is way more fun than guessing.
