One of the hardest decisions I ever made was leaving OtterBox. I had worked tirelessly to build a wonderful career, a high-performing team, and I had climbed that proverbial ladder. But for some reason, I had this pull, almost a calling, to do something more. In 2012, I officially made the leap to start my own marketing and PR agency, WildRock Public Relations & Marketing. Despite so many successes, my journey was often marked (and still is) by setbacks and sometimes feeling so alone with my aspirations. Like you, I’ve done “all the things” to continue to level up: ✅ Attended business retreats and conferences where I networked the heck out of the room - only to be left exhausted and overwhelmed without tangible outcomes. ✅ Joined groups for professionals to help me navigate the complexities of life as a career woman but found it was never packaged to address both the business and personal sides of our lives. It was simply one or the other. ✅ Read all of the books and listened to the right podcasts in my “free-time” to figure out what was next, but had nobody to bounce ideas off of or a plan for what to do with the information I had gathered. Does any of this sound familiar? Not being able to find the community, helpful resources and space to think made me realize that other women might be feeling the same way, and I made it my life’s passion to support others in ways I had always dreamed of finding. So whether you’re engaging in a women’s retreat or business coaching and consulting, you’ve come to the right place. This is why Trailblazers was born.

🏈 Turns out, I'm not the only Green Bay Packers fan in here...It's game day spirit at Crombie as we celebrate birthdays and Crombieversaries. Suuuuuuper happy to see another 🧀head in town. Just like in football, building a great company and being a good Tech Partner is all about teamwork and strategic plays. Let's keep pushing forward together and scoring big wins in tech! 🚀 Here are three value points on the importance of a well-rounded team like the 90’s Brett Favre era: 🏈 👀Diverse Perspectives: A well-rounded team brings together individuals with diverse backgrounds, skills, and experiences. This diversity fosters a range of perspectives and ideas, leading to more innovative solutions to complex problems. Each team member contributes unique insights that collectively enhance decision-making and creativity. 🏈 😎Efficiency and Collaboration: When everyone works together cohesively, tasks are completed more efficiently. Each team member understands their role and responsibilities, leveraging their strengths to contribute effectively to shared goals. Collaboration minimizes duplication of effort, speeds up project timelines, and ensures that projects are completed on schedule and within budget. 🏈 🫂Resilience and Adaptability: In today's dynamic business environment, a well-rounded team is essential for navigating challenges and adapting to change. Team members with varied expertise and skills can pivot quickly when faced with unexpected obstacles or market shifts. This adaptability allows the team to stay agile, innovate in response to emerging trends, and maintain a competitive edge in the industry. These points underscore how a diverse and collaborative team can drive success by fostering innovation, efficiency, and adaptability in achieving organizational goals. 💻 #Teamwork #SoftwareDevelopment #GreenBayPackers #TechInnovation

Culture at #Vincular and its importance for me Reflecting on my 12-year journey in building Vincular, I realize how much I've learned and still learning. Running a business is vastly different from working in a large corporation. In a startup, you are involved in various functions, from billing to customs, and you learn how to manage and grow a business. This experience has made me more responsible and has given me a broader perspective on not just business but also how to lead a fulfilling life. My corporate career taught me the importance of clear communication and mutual respect in the workplace. This helped me understand the value of workplace culture and influenced how we shaped the culture in the organisation. At #Vincular, it’s about open communication, ethical practices, and respect for each other’s contributions. We’ve created an environment that fosters personal and professional growth for each team member. Our approach isn’t just about creating a positive workplace; it’s about building a space where everyone can excel and feel fulfilled. The culture we’ve built reflects our commitment to one another’s growth and success. I’m thankful for the dedication and passion of the team and excited for the continued journey ahead. Onward and forward. VINCULAR
