As we approach the grand opening of our new Indianapolis office next week, it’s a moment to pause and reflect on the journey that has led us to this point. Relocating an office is far more than just shifting desks and chairs; it’s about evolving with the times, embracing new possibilities, and learning from every challenge.  

We started this search in 2019, when we had less than 10 people in our Indy office. Fast forward to June 2024 when we finally moved into our new space – and we are just under 40 employees! Reflecting on this five-year journey made me realize there were some key leadership lessons learned along the way, that really apply to any team working together… well, the last point may be specific to moving offices 😉

How transparent would you be with the ups and downs you experienced, and would you do anything differently? This is the discussion I’ve been having with hundreds of people via a leadership talk that I give called, “Dear Younger Self.”
