Last night I saw Billy Joel in concert. Billy sounded amazing at 75 years young. You may wonder why I am posting this on Linkedin?? The reason…Billy is still touring and performing at 75 because he loves his job, it is his passion, not because he needs the money. The moral of the story: if you work is your passion, it won’t feel like work. I see and hear so many complain about their jobs. Many are not fortunate enough to have their passion be their work. If I am not passionate about a job task, I will complete it but not with the enthusiasm as if it was a task I am passionate about! #passion #work #jobsearch #passionate #findyourpassion

I’ve been hearing Eddie Murphy’s 1986 single “Party All the Time” (a little too much frankly) on the radio lately and instead of thinking how crazy it is that a comedian released a pop single (OK I did think that), I thought about how it probably took some guts and chutzpah for him to do that. And of course some producer somewhere paid him a pile of dough but that’s not the point. There is definitely risk in going outside of your proven capabilities - whether you are a comedian or an actuary or a doctor. Personal and possibly financial. I’m sure there’s a story behind “Party All the Time” - I’m not privy to it and I don’t really care. The point is, I love seeing people try something new and being successful at it. Most of us aren’t going to make a ton of money trying something new the same way Eddie Murphy did because we don’t have existing fame to leverage off. But we can still reap some pretty great benefits from branching out. After 21 years of hiatus, someone pulled me back into golf a few years ago and it has been the most fun aspect of my work life since I started my career. I once turned down an opportunity because I was told I would need to play golf with the client at least once a week. I would definitely give that job a second look today! Is there something you have been meaning to do or try that could potentially bring you joy and open new doors for you? I’m thinking now is the time! #career #opportunities #leadership

I can’t believe this is the last working week of the year for us at Bunker Creative. As we strive to finalise projects and plan new ones for next year, this year has taught me so much about myself, other people, and running an agency. Here are a few of the lessons I’ve learnt this year: - Well-intentioned people can make poor decisions – that doesn’t mean their intentions are bad. - Personality dynamics can make or break a project. Staying committed to the objectives and communicating effectively is key to minimising any damage. - Creative individuals always seem to find a way. - Consistency wins. - Accountability can be lacking when things aren’t going your way. The people I admire most are those who take ownership, stand up, and are willing to be counted. - The best projects don’t necessarily stem from the best briefs – they come from the best people. - A decisive leader can inspire confidence and elevate team performance. How has this year been for you, have you learnt anything about yourself your team or business in general?

#Celebrating the wins" is a common phrase used in various contexts, such as business, sports, personal #achievements, or any situation where success or accomplishment is #recognized and acknowledged. It refers to celebrating or acknowledging #achievements, #milestones, or successes, whether big or small. Mine was the birth of my grandson. Celebrating the wins is essential at work for several reasons: 1.#Motivation and morale: #Recognizing and celebrating achievements can boost morale, motivate individuals or teams to continue working towards their goals, and inspire them to strive for tremendous success. 2. #Building #camaraderie: Celebrating wins can foster a sense of camaraderie and teamwork among individuals or teams, creating a #positive and supportive #work environment. 3. #Acknowledging hard work: Celebrating wins acknowledges the hard work, dedication, and effort required to achieve success, reinforcing the importance of #perseverance and commitment. 4. Encouraging #growth and improvement: By celebrating wins, individuals and teams can reflect on what led to their success, identify areas of strength and improvement, and use those insights to grow and develop further. Celebrating the #wins can take many forms, such as team outings, recognition ceremonies, awards, bonuses, or even simple praise and appreciation. It is a way to show #gratitude, boost morale, and #inspire continued success and #achievement. I was in NYC when the towers went down. As my son and I stated, it will be a day we will never forget. My heart broke that day for the families that lost the ones they loved. I did not know who survived until days afterward.
