At Launchpad Coworking, we celebrate the incredible journeys of women who inspire, lead, and grow within our community. This Women’s Month, we’re highlighting two remarkable women in Launchpad—Kath and Chelle—whose stories embody resilience, determination, and the power of believing in oneself.
Finding Their Paths: From Uncertainty to Opportunity
For Kath, the road to Launchpad was unexpected. She didn’t even know what coworking was until a friend referred her. Initially rejected for lack of experience, she was later given a second chance interview. Nine years later, she’s still here, having grown alongside the company and proving that hard work and perseverance pave the way for success.
Chelle’s journey was different yet equally inspiring. After a decade in sales and retail, she found herself at a crossroads, questioning her next steps. Rejections during her job search tested her confidence, but she refused to settle. Then, an opportunity at Launchpad changed everything. Through doubt and uncertainty, she pushed forward, realizing that stepping out of her comfort zone was the best decision she ever made.
The Joy of Meaningful Work
Both Kath and Chelle find deep fulfillment in their roles. For Kath, it’s about witnessing the success of their clients, knowing that Launchpad plays a role in their growth. The relationships she has built—with coworkers and clients alike—make her job feel like more than just work; it’s a family.
Chelle thrives on the connections she forms daily. Interacting with business owners, freelancers, and professionals has expanded her knowledge and strengthened her skills. Every day brings new experiences, fueling her passion for continuous learning and growth.
Overcoming Challenges and Growing as Leaders
Like any journey, theirs hasn’t been without obstacles. For Kath, self-doubt crept in as her responsibilities grew. However, through learning, mentorship, and perseverance, she gained confidence, proving that challenges are stepping stones to growth.
Chelle faced a major challenge when she was promoted to Administrative Supervisor. Leading a team was new to her, and the transition was daunting. But with the support of her mentor, Kath, and a willingness to learn, she embraced leadership and found strength in the process.
Advice for Women in the Workforce
Both women have invaluable advice for those seeking the right career path. Kath emphasizes the power of self-belief, adaptability, and stepping beyond comfort zones. Chelle encourages women to push through setbacks, keep learning, and trust that the right opportunity will come at the right time.
Celebrating Women’s Strength and Potential
Kath and Chelle’s stories remind us of the incredible strength women bring to the workplace. They prove that with determination, support, and a commitment to growth, success is within reach. This Women’s Month, we celebrate not just their journeys but the journeys of all women striving to make an impact in their careers and communities.
To all the women out there—keep going, keep growing, and never stop believing in your potential!
