Adaptation is one of my favorite words and the executive-in-residence positions at EarlyWorks are a direct result of my desire to adapt and learn. I have had periods during EarlyWorks’ lifespan when I had an ideal of what growth and success looked like based on what I “should be doing” or how I “should be growing”; and invariably, I have found that the real success is when you can learn from everything; especially when things don’t go your way. We’re faced with constant change and how we respond to it matters. Allowing room in my mindset for adaptation unlocks so many possibilities. And one of those possibilities was a creative idea for how to tap into executive talent as a microbusiness.
