Happy Woman Road Warrior Day!

The purpose of this day is to recognize and honor the nation's traveling businesswomen.

Woman Road Warriors are accountants and artists, techies and team builders, entrepreneurs and educators. They cover millions of miles each year to maintain that all-important in-person presence in the often impersonal and increasingly global business world.

Simultaneously, many are also moms, coaches, wives and homework advisors, keeping busy households nurtured and on schedule, even from the other side of the world.

To excel as a woman road warrior today is to be an expert on many levels: an expert at your business, an expert at traveling, a wizard of scheduling and enough of a technical expert to stay in communication with text messaging, laptopping, PDAing and cell phoning colleagues and family.

Doing business on the road means measuring the trade-offs of time, money, flexibility and comfort on an everyday, sometimes every hour basis. A successful Woman Road Warrior knows when to make a command decision and when to delay for further thought or options.

Woman Road Warriors are masters of time--changing schedules, meeting deadlines, accommodating a working dinner, getting up early for a breakfast meeting--all the while keeping track of time zones and time frames when family and other home-base requirements need attention.

This is a day to salute their persistence, flexibility, stamina and style.

YPBCo MEMBER PROFILE: David Birdwell, Vice President and Art Director

If you didn't know already, DavidB loves cameras (and photography and photoshop)!

From his Nikon N2000 to his Olympus SP570UZ. From his mini poloroid to his 4 lens 3d camera. To his Fugi F30 and his cell phone camera, he is never without one! His theory is "you never know what you will see", so he always has at least one camera on him. And clients are asking him to handle the photography for them. Everything from MicciMicci bags to Alumni marketing to special events with clients, DavidB can be seen with his camera in hand... and his photos wind up on the web.

"Creativity is a mental and social process involving the generation of new ideas or concepts, or new associations of the creative mind between existing ideas or concepts. (thanks wikipedia)" And DavidB does just that and more! From winning a create-a-character with Warner Bros to having his pin designed for a special interest group to being chosen as the official alumni photographer for Beloit College's annual homecoming events, he is our go-to-guy for mock ups, designs and layouts....and photos!

Your Plan B Company is proud of our team, our artists. Each one of our team members exercises their creativity not only in the office but outside of it as well. We believe it is essential to problem solving, design and development. You can see more of DavidB's creativity through the YPBCo client portfolio, as well as his ongoing uploading of thousands of photos at his Flickr site!
