From early on Ben Walker has had a flair for being an entrepreneur and much of his early work revolved around helping corporations revitalize the way that they did business. Before becoming the owner of Capital Tile, he originally worked for the State of Texas as a Recycling Coordinator. This experience led him into becoming the Southwest Regional Manager for the Steel Recycling Institute where he represented the steel industry on environmental issues about recycling in eight Southwestern States.

Later in 2001, Ben left his job to join Abitibi-Consolidated, a Fortune 500 Company known for being the largest newsprint manufacturer in the world,  where he was responsible for managing communications and government affairs between the US and UK until his cousin Pat Hathaway reached out to ask for help in taking his tile company to the next level.

Eager to help his cousin and ready for a career change, Ben moved to Kansas and joined forces with Pat to establish a strong foothold in the Kansas City market as they began to expand their services across the country. Ultimately, Ben crafted a vision for reforming the company to have a strong culture of investing in its employees, developing strong relationships with their customers, and creating beautiful tile work that could stand the test of time.

His persistence in creating this future led to him becoming the CEO of Capital Tile in 2013. Now he uses his experience to coach others in how they too can build their business.

Passionate about finding the hidden potential in employees, Jenna Bottolfsen has used her talents in Performance Management, Leadership Development, and Coaching to help companies like Boeing and Koch Industries re-connect and engage their employees.

During her time as a HR leader, her greatest motivation was supporting others to discover their hidden strengths and see that even their most ambitious ideas were within reach. This dedication to development has led into her breaking out into a full time role as the founder of Purposeful Developments, a consulting firm committed to making personal growth an intentional process.

Energized by seeing people succeed, Jenna loves to inspire others to discover their unique qualities and how they can make a greater impact within their organization. She specializes in assisting managers in developing hiring strategies to optimize their talent mix, cultivating owners’ leadership capabilities, and providing support for team leads to maximize their team’s performance.

Local to the Wichita area, Jenna’s three children are attending the same schools that she did. She studied Business Management at Wichita State, and graduated from Webster University with her MBA. She enjoys SCUBA diving with her husband Nick and leading her daughter’s Girl Scout troop to teach girls about the courage and confidence needed to become future leaders.

Miranda Jolly’s entrepreneurial spirit has been strong since the young age of 13 when she with her sisters and her dad set up their first ever business engraving metal and plastic plate designs. Creating these legend plates indicated how different switches and levers operated on complex machines ignited her interest in analytics and deepened her connection to her family’s business background. Together they were able to grow the business by serving the needs of the electrical and manufacturing industries throughout the city of Wichita. Nowadays she uses that same dedication and drive for helping small businesses grow into sustainable, successful organizations.

In 2017 she saw her success caused a poor work and life balance when her family grew into a husband, two daughters, and one son (not mentioning the farm animals). She decided to go off in a dramatically new direction by joining a women’s clothing company to explore her interest in creativity, supporting women, and getting back into small businesses outside of the corporate environment.

Currently, 5 years later, she continues to launch new seasons of attire and apparel to help women feel confident in their own bodies. Miranda translates these skills she has refined over the years into her role as a Tab Contract Facilitator to show businesses the path towards effective development and sustainable growth. She strives to help every client she works with find the joy and meaning within their careers, lives, and organizations so that they can pour into others to help make a significant impact in the Wichita community just like how her family originally poured into her to launch her into the success she has today.

When Miranda isn’t helping business owners find a path to success, she loves spending time with her family especially when they have the opportunity to travel or when she can engage with her kids’ extracurricular sports activities.
