There's a reason we use the idiom - like a broken record. Repeating the same words or applying the same action never breaks the cycle; instead your repetition keeps you turning in circles. Eighteen years in business and sixty-one years of life have taught me that much of what is important is overshadowed by what keeps us up at night. Everyone is flawed, carrying around their own insecurities and fears everyday. The courage to forge ahead is what matters. Our company is the presenting sponsor for the Apex Chamber's women’s forum tomorrow, titled Empower Your Inner Rockstar. Empowerment is less about power and more about the courage to move around obstacles; whether their roadblocks you've created or those placed in your path. I find my mind drawn to women that despite struggles in their personal life never waivered from their core. That type of strengthen makes them a rockstar. To Become A Rockstar, Lean Into What Makes You Unique. Rockstars are regular people, with famous stories. Individuals can struggle with personal grief, addiction or anxieties; yet persevere and remain resolute. Standing up for yourself and inserting your voice, even when unpopular, is also the hallmark of many legendary women in business. All of these rockstar women share a similarity, to never lose their own identity. Individuality is humanity’s gift. How we claim our space and respond to barriers will define our life. Never loose site of what makes you unique. There are plenty of voices ready to help define you, but only one you that has to live in your skin.

On February 28 th , 2023 The Town of Apex launched a year-long celebration to commemorate its 150-year history. 150 years of history provides a lot of stories to tell! Our town's communications department created activities for residents and visitors to attend. Activities were designed to capture the back story of who Apex was, who Apex is now and where Apex can go.   This website  captures the entire story of the town’s past, present and potential. What's a story, without a book? To fully engage, a passport book was distributed as a way to experience & record the town's back story. Worldwide travel requires a passport, stamped each time you land in a different country. Similarly each time participants celebrated an event they received another sticker for their book. Increasing engagement provided more opportunities to earn prizes. Reaching our potential, relies on reflection. The book provided interactive pages to reflect on your personal journey. Our team worked closely with the town’s communication team to select and craft products. Along the celebration experience, the journey for some participants reinforced why Apex is the Peak of Good Living and for others, the journey converted new peak enthusiasts. “Olivia is a trusted partner who brings our ideas to life with creativity and skill. She not only moves concepts to completion with ease, but also elevates our vision, innovating new ways to share the town’s story with our community.”- Stacie Galloway Communications Director I love the heart of a story. When I'm sucked into the story behind the people, the place or the event, I'm " all in ." Perhaps you missed our 150 stories? Catch up here, as I described in my 150 connection and Apex story.
