There are moments in business that feel like a dream realized—moments when all the late nights, courageous pivots, and values-driven decisions are recognized in ways you never quite expected. For Creative Dynamics Virtual Services, being named to the Entreprenista 100 by Entreprenista and Verizon is one of those moments. As we step into 2026, I’m taking a moment to reflect on this incredible journey, what this award means for our team and community, and the values that have guided us every step of the way.

Our Award Journey: From Application to Celebration

We first applied for the Entreprenista 100 at the tail end of 2024, fueled by equal parts hope and nerves. The process itself was an opportunity to reflect on our growth, impact, and the unique approach we bring to the world of virtual services. When the news came in 2025 that we’d been selected, it was more than just an accolade—it was a celebration of everything we stand for as a proudly Canadian, Métis, and women-owned business.

This award isn’t just a shiny badge for our website (though, let’s be honest, it looks pretty great there!). It’s a recognition of the heart-centered, trauma-informed, and community-driven work we do day in and day out. It’s a nod to our commitment to supporting visionary entrepreneurs, especially those navigating challenges like ADHD, burnout, and the ever-present juggle of business and life.

The Power of Being Seen

To be recognized by Entreprenista and Verizon—organizations that champion women founders and changemakers—means the world to us. It’s validation that you can build a business on values like authenticity, transparency, and empathy and still achieve growth, impact, and industry recognition. For our small but mighty team, this award is a collective win. It belongs to every client who trusted us with their business dreams, every partner who collaborated with us, and every entrepreneur who saw a reflection of themselves in our story.

Why Richard Branson Inspires Our Journey

If you know me, you know I’ve always looked up to Richard Branson. His fearless approach to business, his willingness to challenge the status quo, and his belief that business should be a force for good have deeply influenced my own leadership style. Branson’s journey is a reminder that you don’t have to fit the mold to make a big impact—you just have to be brave enough to lead with your values and vision.

On a personal note, Richard Branson was the very first public figure I discovered as a young person with dyslexia. Before I learned about his story, I didn’t really understand my own brain or why certain things felt so different or challenging for me. Seeing someone as wildly successful as Branson openly share his own experiences with dyslexia was life-changing. It gave me hope, pride, and a sense of belonging I hadn’t felt before. His example taught me that what makes us different is also what makes us powerful—and that our unique ways of thinking are assets, not obstacles.

One of my favorite Branson quotes is, “Business opportunities are like buses, there’s always another one coming.” That mindset has been a guiding star, especially in moments of uncertainty or self-doubt. It’s about staying open, resilient, and ready to seize the next adventure—qualities that have shaped Creative Dynamics from day one.

What Sets Creative Dynamics Apart

Our approach is anything but cookie-cutter. We’re obsessed with creating safe spaces for belonging, empowering clients to delegate with confidence, and building systems that support both business growth and personal well-being. We’re trauma-informed, heart-centered, and fiercely committed to progress over perfection.

Our services range from fractional operations management and virtual executive assistance to marketing, branding, and imposter syndrome coaching. But more than what we do, it’s how we do it—with empathy, clarity, and a relentless focus on helping entrepreneurs thrive on their own terms.

A Win for Our Community

This award is not just a milestone for our company—it’s a celebration of our clients, partners, and broader community. It’s for every woman, mom, and neurodivergent entrepreneur who’s ever wondered if there’s a place for them at the table. Spoiler alert: not only is there a place, but you belong here, and your unique strengths are needed more than ever.

We’re proud to serve entrepreneurs across Canada and beyond, offering personalized support, strategic guidance, and a collaborative spirit. Our clients aren’t just numbers—they’re changemakers, visionaries, and leaders in their own right. Watching them grow, overcome obstacles, and achieve their own milestones is the real reward.

Looking Back, Looking Forward

Winning the Entreprenista 100 Award is a powerful reminder to celebrate how far we’ve come while staying hungry for what’s next. In 2026, we’re doubling down on our mission to empower even more entrepreneurs, expand our impact, and keep giving back through community initiatives and partnerships.

We’re also laser-focused on building a team culture where everyone feels valued, heard, and empowered to do their best work. That means hiring an Online Business Manager (OBM) to help us scale, investing in professional development, and continuing to prioritize wellness and balance—because sustainable success is about so much more than just the bottom line.
