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 😉

What would you say if you could go back in time, to the early part of your career, and talk with your “younger self”? What advice would you give?

As the parent of a preschooler, I’ve watched every episode of Bluey more than once. This Australian kids’ show about a blue heeler puppy and her canine friends and family is a staple in our household. If you’ve ever watched an episode of Bluey with your child, you'll know it's more than just a show for kids—it's a goldmine of wisdom that applies to our grown-up lives. This got me thinking: how can we take lessons learned from Bluey to help us level up at work?
