"No gree for anybody!" That was a popular slogan at the beginning of this year. Six months in, I decided to evaluate my progress, reflecting on the goals and plans I set at the start of the year. Through this evaluation and self-reflection, I realized I had barely scratched the surface. With this realization, I decided to take my personal development more seriously and be intentional about it. I started by purchasing two new books: "The 10X Rule" by Grant Cardone and "The 48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene. Recently, I discovered Dr.Philip Babalola's 3-day seminar on personal development, which starts today! It's themed "Personal Development with Philip Babalola" and you can bet that I will be joining this seminar. I've made a personal decision to be more intentional about my growth and will be taking it seriously for the rest of the year. At the beginning of the year, "No gree for anybody" was merely a slogan. Many of us took it as a joke and were "catching cruise." Even now, many of us still laugh when we hear it. But for me, I'm going to adopt it as a personal mantra for the rest of the year. I'm excited for this journey and look forward to seeing how it all unfolds. If you're on this path to personal development and would like to join Philip Babalola's seminar, click the link below. Trust me, it's going to be packed with valuable insights. https://lnkd.in/eD4Ztgfu PS: The seminar has started already As we're all on this journey of personal development, I'd appreciate book recommendations that could help me along the way. Please share any books that have inspired you. Let's grow together. Thank you! 🙏🏽

It’s not always easy to address the challenges that come up when collaborating in multicultural teams. How do we address some of the intangible obstacles that can hinder progress? This was one of the questions on my mind when I designed my latest workshop. Using LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®, we were able to explore the role that seeking help plays in the way we work together. The use of metaphors allowed us to express ideas and feelings that aren't always easily communicated in regular conversations. Encouraging employees to ask for help is a great first step, but it's not enough. We must establish a relationship with our colleagues that allows us to confidently say, “hey, can you help me out here?”. Seeking help must be clearly defined within our teams. When we do reach out, we should establish consensus around the meaning we attribute to asking for help. Is it a sign of resourcefulness or a last resort when we fall short? To build high-performing teams, we must look beyond strengthening the individual parts and focus on how much we can achieve when we really come together. I want to give a big shoutout to our Finance Team @ flatexDEGIRO for being so open and collaborative during this workshop. Thank you for your participation! #LEGOSERIOUSPLAY Dr. Thomas Lindner Niklas Grimm Thomas Windisch Dennis Tilanus RA Marina Varbanova Christiane Geißler Benjamin Kim Berna Sertel

These are great tips when you have to speak, whether impromptu or prepared. Audience and Structure take the lead for me but all four are great to keep in mind.

After going through another move across the country, I've been reflecting on the early stages of starting a company. It's been an intense learning curve during these past four months, and I thought I'd share in case you're thinking about starting a company. TL;DR: DO IT A few lessons I've learned: 1️⃣ Vigilance is key. Many will offer assistance, but not all intentions align with your company's success. It's your company, and the success/failure is on you, and you alone in the early stages. (Always keep this in mind) 2️⃣ There will always be critics and doubters (myself included), but if you don't try you'll never know - the mantra for HomeTrendAi is: Not Trying is Failing. 3️⃣ Be easy on yourself, breathe/go for a walk/exercise, it doesn't happen over night. Anything that is worth it does not come fast or easy. Hopefully this will light the fire in at least one person to follow their passion. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

One more FB-like post for LinkedIn. I had a tough time writing on business this weekend, yet we had a wonderful weekend with my family putting together this Lego model of C-3PO 😂 . Overall, we are a family of huge Lego/Star Wars fans. Besides just having fun, I find Lego to foster some essential traits in kids that are important in many areas of their lives outside of the game: 1. Teamwork and collaboration (while working on your part of the model, you must remember that every mistake you make while building will impact the result for your teammates.) 2. Patience and focus (one little piece in the wrong place can make you revisit the whole model to "fix a bug." Therefore, persistence, patience, and focus are the core.) 3. Ability to learn quickly(reading, understanding the big picture) 4. Motivating themselves(some models take days to build, so it's important to keep yourself engaged for long enough to benefit from the results of your work.) All the above traits are crucial to success during long Lego weekends 😂 , and to success in the business, the workplace, and inside of your teams every day.

🙏🏼 Importance of Your Support System In Business Whether it is running your own company, managing a team, or continuing to excel within your role at an organization, the stress of your every day professional life can be overwhelming. How most of us combat the stress is having a person or group of people we lean on as our support system in business. Whether we realize it or not, we all have a person we rant to, celebrate wins, work through losses, run ideas by, or bring some joy into a busy day. Very easy to take these people for granted, so showing some love to a few of the members in my support system today: Michael Palumbo | Jahangere Jam | David Aaron | Eric Kelley | Justin Titchenell Show some love and gratitude to your business support system in the comments below ⬇️⬇️

My first book story time :) Yesterday, I attended an event with a few copies of Beyond Coincidence. Initially, I was hesitant to bring all my books, fearing they were too heavy and inside doubting if people would be interested in receiving them. Because I’ve never done this before. It is new. Learning more and more to choose excitement in the new instead of fear. My mindset was fixated on selling each book. However, my friend encouraged me to see things differently. He reminded me that nobody knows me yet and suggested that I simply give the books away. His perspective was that my stories might perfectly align with someone’s needs and could become an answer for them. This shift in perspective was powerful. Instead of focusing on sales this time, I embraced the idea of sharing my work with the intention that it might touch someone’s life. It was a beautiful experience to stamp the candle wax with my initials, sign the books, and gift them to those ready to receive them, hoping the stories would bring answers and inspiration. This experience taught me the profound impact of sharing perspectives and encouragement. My friend’s support helped me see beyond immediate gains and focus on the potential to positively impact others. If you choose to buy Beyond Coincidence from Amazon, know that your investment goes to an Australian organization supporting women who have suffered from domestic violence, creating a ripple of positive impact. Thank you for your support and for believing in the power of stories. I encourage every reader to share their feedback with me. I see myself writing more books and your expressions about your experience would truly help me see and understand different perspectives. Thank you for reading.

The statement from the Bhagavad Gita, "The people who focus on nothing are diverted by everything," features the significance of commitment and concentration. It recommends that without a reasonable feeling of direction or responsibility, interruptions effectively steer one of course, forestalling significant advancement. Throughout everyday life, laying out objectives and committing oneself to them is fundamental for progress. Without responsibility, we may continually move our consideration, leaving many assignments inadequate and our energy scattered. To keep up with center, laying out clear objectives and priorities is significant. Break undertakings into more modest advances and limit interruptions by sorting out your work area. Restricting openness to advanced interruptions, like web-based entertainment, can likewise assist with keeping up with focus. Also, creating care through contemplation or brief breaks can work on mental clarity and spotlight on the main jobs. By playing it safe, one can commit completely to their goals, guaranteeing consistent advancement without being overpowered by interruptions. THANK YOU EVERYONE
