Build What’s Next: Step Beyond Traditional Roles, and Build Something of Your Own!

What if the next chapter of your career isn’t a promotion, but a decision?

On May 28th, from 7:30–9:30 AM at MRA, join us for a powerful morning conversation with three leaders who chose to step beyond traditional roles and build something of their own.

Starring:

• Paige Batcha-Magill, PBM Consulting Services
• Kendra Brodin, EsquireWell
• Kristin Nordling, Lakeside HR Group

Emceed by Julieta Piox, Julieta Piox Consulting

Each of these women represents a different phase of building, from launching to scaling a business, offering an honest look at what it really takes to move from idea to action.

Together, we’ll explore:

• The defining leadership moments that sparked change
• The first bold step they took before they felt fully ready
• How they navigated financial risk and stability
• Building alongside a corporate role vs. creating a runway
• What surprised them most in year one
• How to know when it’s time to leap

This conversation isn’t about abandoning your career. It’s about expanding it.

Whether you’re curious, quietly building on the side, or actively planning your next move, this is a room for women ready to think bigger about what’s possible.

If you’ve been asking yourself, “What’s next?” This is your moment to start building it.

I’m a fractional CFO and CPA who thrives on bringing clarity to complexity—helping businesses grow smarter, not just bigger. I’ve spent 18+ years across executive leadership, consulting, and public accounting, and I’m especially passionate about building strong teams and practical financial strategies that actually work in real life (not just in spreadsheets). I founded and own PBM Consulting Services, where I lend fractional or interim financial support to organizations. In addition to PBM, I own a commercial and residential cleaning company, MinTex, and an Airbnb.

Outside of work, I’m a soccer mom, world traveler, and wine enthusiast who loves a good challenge—whether that’s scaling a business or planning the next adventure. Fun fact: I genuinely enjoy digging into messy problems… the more chaotic, the better.
