Brigit McPherson’s Mother’s Day Reflection: Leading with Heart at Work and Home
Brigit McPherson’s journey here at HOLT Industrial Rentals is shaped not only by her professional expertise but also by the heart and perspective she brings as a mother.
For over 30 years, Brigit has shared life with her husband, Scott, raising two sons, Taylor and Hunter, who have been her inspiration throughout her career. Taylor, now 30, is pursuing a path in the medical field, while 25-year-old Hunter has built his career in computer science. Brigit describes her sons as the heart behind her professional drive, reminding her to stay resilient when life takes an unexpected turn — and reinforcing one of her favorite sayings: “This too shall pass.”
At HOLT Industrial Rentals, Brigit’s passion is helping people succeed. She finds no greater joy than watching her team members reach new milestones and hearing the pride in their voices. Her children would describe her as nurturing and supportive, qualities that naturally carry over into her leadership style. She’s always checking in, ensuring those around her have what they need to thrive — because to Brigit, compassion and communication are essential wherever people are involved.
Motherhood has shaped Brigit’s approach to work in meaningful ways. Early in her career, she sacrificed important family milestones to climb the corporate ladder — a choice she now works hard to help her team avoid. As a leader, she wants her employees to know they can have both: a fulfilling career and time to show up fully for their families. Her advice to other moms balancing work and home? Don’t be afraid to ask for help. “Women tend to believe that asking for help is a sign of weakness, but it shows personal awareness of what it takes to do a job successfully.”
Outside of work, Brigit and Scott recently began a new adventure, building a home on land in Blanco, Texas. Life there is filled with the charm of blackbuck, oryx, free-ranging turkeys, and three donkeys affectionately named the Golden Girls. She’s even gained a new set of skills caring for the fluffy Silkies her sales team lovingly calls “Bougie Chickens.”
This Mother’s Day, we’re honored to recognize Brigit McPherson — a mom, a mentor, and a leader!
