Stacy Taubman is driven by one thing: helping people achieve. She is especially passionate about empowering teen girls, women and minorities. For more than a decade, she worked in secondary education as a math teacher, but a tragedy involving a student became a tipping point for Stacy to take her natural aptitude for leadership in a drastically different direction. In 2017, she founded RISE Collaborative - a community and workspace for all women to grow and achieve. RISE isn't just for start-ups or entrepreneurs, but also for women who work in corporate environments, small businesses, and nonprofits.  Additionally, it's a place where teen girls can do homework, receive mentoring and surround themselves with inspiring female role models. With weekly events designed for members to learn and inspire professional development, RISE Collaborative has quickly grown in both Denver and St. Louis. In this interview, find out more about Stacy’s journey and the enterprise she has built.

Having a work environment that is conducive for doing business is just one part of what makes a business successful.  Do you have enough space to be organized?  Is it comfortable?  Does it reflect the company’s image and values?  One of our recent clients, MeetMindful, is a company that brings together like-minded people who value mindfulness and wellness so that they can make meaningful connections for dating, friendship, networking and more.  We recently visited them in their new space and were so excited to see how beautiful and cozy their space is that we wanted to share it!  They not only relocated to a space that was a better fit, but they have designed a space that promotes the very thing they are providing to their customers; a mindful experience.
