Igniter of the Year 2016. Well I know that I'm an optimist. I'm an idealist. I see a world different than the one we live in today. Imagine a world where the vast majority of us feel inspired to go to work, feel safe when we're there, and return home at the end of each day feeling fulfilled. I believe fulfillment must not be a luxury for the lucky few. Fulfillment is our human right. When I come across someone who, not only shares in this vision, but they advance it in a hugely meaningful, significant and impactful way, I want to recognize, honor and thank them. I'm so delighted to present the Igniter of the Year Award to Garry Ridge, CEO of WD-40. Some of my team members and I got to surprise him with the award this afternoon in San Diego. Inspire on!!

Fact: More men need to support women. We're a part of Women's Entrepreneurship Week in Milwaukee this year for three main reasons. ▪️ Change needs to happen. ▪️ We're super intentional about our culture and as we grow we want to have diverse voices on our team, so that we can be better as a team. We need more women to do that. ▪️ Reread the first sentence of this post. At events/weeks like this men often feel like they're not included and I want to challenge every dude out there (especially if you're in Milwaukee) to do the following: ▪️ Go to more female organized events (I'll put the link to the week below) ▪️ Take a minute or two to send your appreciation out to the women in your network that are absolutely crushing it out there.

Our company has officially more than doubled in size. We have a team of 10 (eleven if you include my pup). It's awesome looking back to see how far we've come in a short time... but even cooler looking to the future. Here are some things that we've done differently than my previous ventures that failed in the past. - Being intentional about the culture we have/intend to build. This will turn off many people from working with you, but will attract the RIGHT people. - We & I. We work as a group and we help everyone individually as well. One of the first questions we ask when hiring is "how can we bring value to you?" - Being honest even when it hurts. This took me a while to figure out a balance. But I'm a very blunt person. We make less mistakes that way and grow closer as a team when we just say it as it is. - Going to the talent... not relying on the talent coming to us. We get resumes and requests to work with us every day. Which is incredible. But one thing we learned early on is that [typically for us] the people that are the best fit are already employed or not looking. You have to be proactive & patient. There isn't anyone on this planet that I'd rather be building this company with. What are you most excited about in 2019? #justQ 🖤 📸 Rob …see more

I want YOU to know about THIS amazing woman. Jennifer A. Garrett, JD, LLM, MBA is a single mother of FIVE beautiful children with SEVEN degrees, and TWENTY+ years of experience with Fortune 100 organizations. She's a former Army lawyer and author of the book I'm holding in this picture called, Move The Ball. Despite naysayers and judgement, she used her obsession of football to push her corporate training and hunger for success and teamwork forward. So let me tell you a little secret... She's one of my BIGGEST inspirations... When I'm exhausted from hospital treatments, speaking engagements, pressing client deadlines and family obligations... I think of her and her many accomplishments and I'm reminded that anything is possible with determination. She's always got a smile on her face and a can-do attitude. If your organization is seeking a contract lawyer, negotiation expert or cultural transformation pro, she needs to be the first one on your list! Keep shining, gorgeous!
