Congratulations to Co-Owner and COO Robin Kocina, will receive the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Association of Women Business Owners – Minnesota Chapter (NAWBO-MN). The award recognizes Robin’s legacy of achievement in business, and her passion for volunteerism and civic involvement. It will be presented during the NAWBO’s ACHIEVE! Awards ceremony at the Graves Hotel in Minneapolis.
After 23 years in business, Kocina Branding & Marketing Companies (KBMC) remains one of the nation’s top performance-based marketing companies. “Robin is, first and foremost, an outstanding role model for how to run a successful business. She has shaped her company’s inspiring corporate culture which is based on identifying and acknowledging every staff member’s personal strengths – including her own,” comments Jennifer Brigham, the chief executive officer of Brigham Group Staffing, who nominated Robin for this award. “When people work within their strengths, they enjoy what they do – and they are good at it. As a result, doing business with KBMC is an incredibly positive experience. Energy, enthusiasm and drive are apparent in everything these companies do.”
Robin’s drive is also evident in her local business community involvement. She actively seeks ways to commit her time and talents. She has traveled the country, and met with local politicians and business leaders, as a member of the National Federation of Independent Business’s Leadership Council (NFIB) to advocate changes for Minnesota business people. Robin has also been an active member of NAWBO and Women Presidents Organization (WPO), and is constantly looking for ways to help members network and reach their business goals.
“That drive has been evident in everything she does,” says Brigham. “Robin has dedicated much of her time to helping other women succeed and live their best lives possible. She believes that each of us has our own unique talents and skills, and that it is our responsibility to determine our life’s purpose while best utilizing those unique attributes for the good of others. Robin helps other women discover and use their talents so that they can improve their lives, and the lives of those around them.”
Robin, your entire staff is so proud that you are receiving this much-deserved honor.
