I’m happy to share that we just added a new team member to the family this week. As Wood & Co. grows, it occurs to me that it’s worth sharing a bit of my incredible journey as a founder who decided to forge her own path in the business world after more than two decades of navigating corporate landscapes. Today, I lead and am a part of this wonderful consulting company that specializes in strategic guidance, marketing, communications, public relations, and much more within the sustainability space. I can honestly say I’ve never been as happy professionally than I am today working for Wood & Co.
Embracing Change and Pursuing Passion
This chapter of my story begins with a realization: life is too short to spend it doing something you don’t love. After spending over 20 years working for various organizations, I took a leap of faith and decided to create my company. I carefully examined my career, extracting the elements that brought me joy, inspiration, and fulfillment. What emerged was a vision for a company that not only excelled in what it offers but also prioritized the well-being and satisfaction of its team members.
A Company Where Everyone Matters
One of the fundamental principles of my company is the belief that every individual brings something valuable to the table. Whether you’re an experienced professional or a newcomer to the working world, your voice matters. Creating an environment where everyone feels valued has been a key driver in our success. We celebrate diversity and encourage collaboration, recognizing that it is our differences that make us stronger.
Work That Inspires
In the sustainability sector, passion is a driving force. Our team is fueled by a shared commitment to making a positive impact on the world. Each project we undertake is an opportunity to contribute to a more sustainable future. It’s not just about delivering results for our clients; it’s about being part of something meaningful.
Balancing Hard Work with Freedom
While hard work is undoubtedly crucial to our success, I believe in providing my team with the freedom to manage their own time. Flexibility is not just a perk; it’s a recognition that life exists beyond the office “walls.” This balance fosters a sense of responsibility and autonomy, allowing individuals to bring their best selves to work.
Navigating the Sustainability Sector
The heart of our company lies in our dedication to the sustainability sector. We are not just consultants; we are advocates for positive change. Guiding businesses towards more sustainable practices is both a responsibility and a privilege. Every success story we contribute to is a step towards a greener, more sustainable future.
The Future Is Sustainable
I am proud to lead a company that challenges norms and promotes inclusivity. The journey has been so rewarding, and continues to be filled with lessons, challenges, and triumphs. I invite you to join me on this adventure, as we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of sustainability, entrepreneurship, and leadership.
Together, let’s break the mold and pave the way for a future where every individual’s potential is recognized, and businesses thrive while making a positive impact on our planet.
