Have a wonderful and safe 4th of July!!! ❤️

Proud of each Grey Search + Strategy team member as this is a testament to how hard they work day in and day out. They are the reason we’ve built a solid foundation and incredible trust with our clients! Our clients deserve a huge shoutout because we could not do our work if they didn’t partner so closely with us! We LOVE making an impact and I am excited for what’s to come. We have big things happening! Cheers to being in the top 10! The best is yet to come! #grateful #grit #compassion #unity #excellence #authenticity #fun #bettertogether #greatnessingrey

What a fun night! I won’t ever forget the night when I received a few scholarships like this in High School! I felt like others saw the hard work I put in every day to overcome the many learning disability obstacles that were put in front of me! Our team at Grey surprised Lucas Henriksen and myself by creating this scholarship to give back to students who go the extra mile! It brings joy to my heart and tears to my eyes. This was the first of many scholarships from Grey! Thank you to our amazing Grey Search team as you show up every day leading with your heart! ♥️

New project is underway in NE MSP! CDT Realty Corporation is making it happen and has office space available soon! Close to everything! Check it out! Chad Tepley congrats! This is going to be amazing!

As you know...I am a dyslexic and huge supporter of International Dyslexia Association, Upper Midwest Branch and The Reading Center/Dyslexia Institute of MN. This is an event you don't want to miss on May 7th! They hope to see you there! #dyslexia #bettertogether #booksigning

Another great article that you should consider reading if you are planning to hire in the next year! Not only does thoughtful planning yield a better result but it also allows you the right amount of time to consider promoting from within! You should always look at your internal talent before going outside! We have validated assessment tools that can help you look at your strong high performers before doing an external search! No matter what, it is key to have a thought out process! If you need to go external with a search, you want to recruit the best candidate that fits the role and your culture! This does not happen overnight! Keep in mind… If you have a location in a more rural area, if you are trying to establish a brand in a new market, if you are changing a culture, if new leadership stepped in, if you are launching a new product without any historical data tied to performance…the list goes on and on! These are all challenges that can add to the complexity of a search! The two most important things to have are…time and a trusted partner that helps you dig in! ❤️

Momentum is building as more people, specifically women, are feeling the confidence to share their stories. These stories not only bring others awareness, but they are bringing them comfort in knowing they aren't alone. This is a must-read article that showcases 3 unique stories of strength and perseverance from three very successful women! Imagine being a 7-year-old girl, separated from your classmates on a regular basis to be placed in a small room to learn due to your auditory dyslexia. How lonely and isolating! That 7-year-old girl was tutored throughout elementary and high school to build a toolbox that would later help her see and appreciate her superpowers. However, on a daily basis imagine hearing that you wouldn't be able to have a normal job, do normal things, and be made fun of because of this disability! The word dyslexia would put most people into a tailspin as they didn't understand how to work with "it"! That 7-year-old girl found her voice and her strengths and later became a successful business owner! I am proud to say this is MY story. These differences make us stronger and, in the end, bring more creativity, compassion, empathy, and grit to the workplace! ❤️

Women Entrepreneurs of Minnesota has an exciting event coming up on April 25th.

I am incredibly honored to be a panelist with several other successful women! I hope to see you there!!

I remember being a young girl writing my first business plan. The business I created wasn’t what I am doing today but interestingly enough it was a business that was meant to give women a break…a place to relax, unwind, and feel appreciated! My mom worked so hard to support her dyslexic daughter as she never wanted anything to stop me from going after my dreams. I saw her work so hard and all I wanted was to give back to her! Fast forward and I am incredibly grateful and humbled to be standing next to over 100 women getting recognized for an award that not only looks at your success as an entrepreneur but it puts focus on how we are supporting women today! Together this wildly talented group has done more than I could ever imagine to support women across the globe! Last night my husband Lucas Henriksen and our kids joined me at the Enterprising Women event and cheered on those from across the world being recognized! Sharing this with them meant so much! It’s important we show our kids that anything is possible! Cheers to this amazing group of women, to Enterprising Women for your hard work over the 22 years, to my family for your unwavering support, to my husband for never letting me back down, and to the team at Grey Search + Strategy for being the best team I’ve ever had the chance to work with! You make Grey what it is today! ❤️ #bettertogether #womensupportingwomen #letsdothis #greatnessingrey
