🎉 This December, Evia Solutions celebrates 8 incredible years of operations! What a journey it has been—full of highs, lows, lessons, and blessings. 🙌🏾 For far too long, I’ve hidden behind my business, but no more. It’s time to share my story—my why, my struggles, and my wins—as Dr. Tracel Lockhart, Founder & CEO of Evia Solutions. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing a series of short videos, opening up about my entrepreneurial journey. From sleepless nights to moments of pure joy, I’m bringing the raw truth of what it means to build something from the ground up. This is for the dreamers, the doers, and the believers who need a reminder that they are capable of anything. 💪🏾 To every entrepreneur and leader, current or aspiring, you are not alone. Let’s walk this journey together💃🏽💕💫 Stay tuned for inspiration, motivation, and real talk. Let’s grow and break barriers together! #entrepreneurshipjourney #womeninbusiness #leadership #shareyourstory

Just one week to go before our interactive session and panel event: Playing the Long Game in Entrepreneurship: Scaling Beyond the Product! Co-hosted with SGlobe and joined by expert speakers, we can’t wait to offer valuable insights and practical knowledge for entrepreneurs and leaders in the tech ecosystem. Together, we'll discuss key topics including: • The significant connection between personal health, wellbeing, and organizational performance. • What do investors look for beyond the product and business model when investing, and how do they support entrepreneurs on this journey? • Support mechanisms you need on your journey, before and after investment. • Practices that foster both an internal journey and connection with yourself, and trigger deep, meaningful external relationships. We believe that progressing with high energy and motivation in this long-term game is crucial for both individual health and company performance. Join us this 5 June > https://lu.ma/fyw4fs9j #beyond42 #techevent #leadership #founderjourney #entreprenurship

Last week, by the kind invitation of Vistage UK Chair Neil Stewardson, I had the pleasure of presenting the Scaleup Blueprint Workshop to his group of intrepid business leaders. You are the actual engines of growth in our economy, representing diverse sectors such as steel trading, wool, built environment services, events, robotics, foam supply, jointing technology, polythene products, and health and medical services. The workshop covered scale, growth and value, including: > Identifying barriers to scale, growth, and value. > Designing a business architecture to overcome these them. > Building value levers to enhance performance, team engagement, and productivity. > Building as an MD to design and deliver your company's purpose. > Leading as a CEO to define and deliver your company's intent. Extensive conversations on critical topics that emerge from the coalface of seasoned business owners generate growth outcomes for us all, both as individuals and for the companies we lead. We can continue to drive economic growth and create lasting value together. #BusinessGrowth #Leadership #Scaleup #Entrepreneurship #EconomicGrowth #Vistage #BusinessValue

"The Entrepreneur's Dilemma: Should I Take My Company Public?"This compelling first-person narrative chronicles my journey from tragedy to triumph, providing essential insights into the tumultuous world of public company leadership. From my early days at Healthdyne to my dynamic tenure at MiMedx—recognized by Fortune Magazine as the 5th fastest-growing public company in 2017—I share hard-earned wisdom and strategies that every business leader needs to navigate today's complex legal and business landscapes. In this brief video, I share an excerpt from a chapter in my new book that delves into how a personal tragedy in my early days ignited my journey as an entrepreneur. As you watch this video, you will learn that I was driven by a deep desire to prevent other parents from experiencing the same devastating loss that I had, and I set out to create a product that could possibly make a difference. Please join me as I recount the emotional beginnings that shaped my path and inspired my mission.
