Back in 2019, I joined my current firm, Blankenship Change Consulting as a project and change management consultant. Our company is based out of Dallas and made up of seasoned female professionals looking for meaningful work with flexible scheduling so that we can juggle all of our other responsibilities outside of work. One of the first things I learned about our firm was the standing incentive each year for a trip to Mexico, available to any consultant who works over a certain number of hours. Once hitting that threshold, we become eligible for an annual reward trip with our owner and colleagues to Puerta Vallarta for a long weekend of fun and bonding with our team.
Due to Covid, our 2020 reward trip was postponed time and time again. But in November 2021, it was finally time to cash in our reward. I joined about 30-40 of my colleagues, many of whom have become great friends, for my very first Blankenship incentive trip. It was also my first time to Puerta Vallarta, and the weather and views did not disappoint! Although I ended up working from my room for a portion of the trip, I was also able to get out and enjoy some beach/pool fun and some nice relaxation and catching up with some of the ladies I hadn't seen since before Covid hit. Each night we enjoyed lovely dinners with our full team, and I was able to meet some new work friends and make good connections for many of our projects ahead. It was a great trip and I felt so thankful for the ability to get a few days away while Jeff kept everything running smoothly at home!
