🎉 Shoutout to Domonique Townsend, InFlight alumni for this awesome win! 👏 #EntrepreneurWins
Award Winning Change Management and Innovation Expert | TEDx Speaker | Author of Inspired to Innovate
I am beyond thrilled to announce that We Optimize Work has been recognized as the Supplier of the Year - Class I by WBEC South! This prestigious award honors Women Business Enterprises (WBEs) for excellence, growth and it highlights our dedication to providing top-tier change management and organizational development consulting services to our corporate partners. This recognition means the world to me, as it represents not only our team's hard work and commitment to making work feel good, but also two key pillars of our success: our pursuit of excellence and innovation, and the unwavering support of WBEC South leadership and the supplier diversity community, who have championed our connections to executive decision-makers in the corporate world. Receiving this award in front of supplier diversity and organizational leaders who believed in me from day one was truly surreal. These leaders saw my early pitches and proposals, heard my personal stories, and witnessed my growth as a business owner. They sponsored my attendance at conferences, introduced me to invaluable connections, and shared wisdom that accelerated our success. Their belief in me and our mission has been shown through their actions, not just words. From the early days of shaping the mission of We Optimize Work to celebrating this incredible milestone with our top corporate partners in the room, it truly felt like a full-circle moment. For any small business owner, getting in the door with key decision-makers is one of the biggest challenges. After gaining that access, proving our qualifications and ability to deliver consulting services that are comparable with Big 3 firms is essential in securing our role as suppliers. We Optimize Work helps leaders align with their teams, gain stronger buy-in from stakeholders, and accelerate transformation during times of change or transition. When you partner with us, we prioritize values like trust, excellence, collaboration, integrity, and fun. Our strategy planning and development clients see an average 175% increase in employee engagement within 12 months. Our vision is to contribute $10 billion in added value to corporations by improving productivity, profitability, and retention by 2029. If your organization needs change management, organizational development, or stakeholder engagement solutions, We Optimize Work is here to help. Message me directly or use the link in the comments to schedule a call. I look forward to connecting! #makeworkfeelgood #weoptimizework #wbecsouthturns30 #wesummit Phala Mire Kya Moller

Yesterday, we hosted a productive lunch & workshop on Scaling Your Business & Planning for Growth. The event featured insights from guest speakers Beth Chase and Katherine McElroy, the Entrepreneurs-In-Residence for our InFlight Accelerator. Here's a few takeaways that can apply to any business 👇 1️⃣ "Do more of the things that work already." 2️⃣ "What kind of people do we want to hire, and what kind of culture do we want? Build and nurture that." 3️⃣ "Even if you don't intentionally create a culture, there will still be one." 🔗 Want to see your business grow?
