🌟 Know Your Worth: A Lesson from L'Oréal 🌟 In a world that's constantly evolving and challenging our boundaries, one thing remains vital: knowing your worth. This message is beautifully encapsulated in L'Oréal’s iconic tagline, "Because You’re Worth It." It’s more than a slogan—it’s a powerful affirmation that speaks directly to our professional lives. In our careers, it's easy to second-guess ourselves, to feel overshadowed or undervalued. But let’s remember that this tagline is a reminder that our skills, experiences, and unique qualities are invaluable. Just like L'Oréal’s commitment to celebrating individuality and excellence, we too should embrace our own worth and stand confidently in our professional journeys. 🔹 Believe in Your Value: Your contributions are unique and significant. Don’t underestimate the impact you have on your team and organization. 🔹 Advocate for Yourself: Speak up about your achievements and the value you bring. Your voice is a powerful tool in shaping your career trajectory. 🔹 Seek Growth and Development: Investing in yourself—whether through learning new skills, seeking mentorship, or pursuing new opportunities—reflects the belief that you are worth the effort. As we navigate our professional paths, let L'Oréal’s message be a daily reminder: You are worth it. Embrace it. Own it. Let it drive you to reach new heights and to champion your own value in every aspect of your career. Here’s to celebrating our worth and striving for greatness! 🌟💼 #CareerGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment #KnowYourWorth #Inspiration #Leadership

My L'Oréal Ignite journey in September 2024: Life as an MT L'Oréal I would like to share my thoughts and reflections after joining the first event - Life as an MT L'Oréal. First, my top 3 takeaways are Be yourself, Take the challenges and diversity. Second, I understand L'Oréal culture more in diversity. L'Oréal encourages all backgrounds of employees no matter what university you are coming from and even not concerned about what major you graduate from because L'Oréal just wants to attract talents who are passionate and talented. Working in L'Oréal, just enjoy yourself and explore more with fun. Therefore, towards my career aspirations, I learned to try something more out of my learning areas. Then, I will be able to explore more as I don't limit myself and I can always find something new and fun. Something more L'Oréal MTs inspire me to be myself. Their educational backgrounds are different from what they are working on now. However, they consider the processes as opportunities to learn and uphold their mindset of ''I can do!''. So, their inspiration to me is just to be myself and trust myself and my ability. Eventually, this strengthened my belief in facing challenges and not fear after networking experience with the MTs. How to grow up? Is to face the challenges and not escape. For me, I consider challenges as one of the ways of continuous learning and enhance my mindset. Challenges are not horrible, really horrible is when you look down on yourself and just simply think of escape. Finally, I would rather say push me out of my comfort zone after the meeting with L'Oréal MTs, instead encourage me to continue to push myself further and take the challenges. Because I want to see how far I can go and where my ability borders. #lorealIgnite #wearloreal #lorealforyouth #empowered #beautytech #futureofbeauty #careergrowth #upskilling @Jade Lui @Alan Lau (He/Him) @Eunice Lam @Vicky Lau

Kicking Off My L'Oréal Ignite Journey! I’m excited to begin my journey with the L'Oréal Ignite program! The first webinar, 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞 @ L'Oréal, was an eye-opener and provided valuable takeaways on how to thrive at L'Oréal: ✨ 𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲: Being yourself is key to standing out and making an impact in your work and the team. ✨ 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧-𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝: L'Oréal encourages diverse perspectives, which fuel creativity and growth. There’s a place for everyone, regardless of their background. ✨ 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: Every task, no matter how small, contributes to growth. Being curious and proactive in learning is essential for success. One moment that stood out was Jimmy’s go-to mantra: “𝐿𝑜𝑣𝑒 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑑𝑜, 𝑑𝑜 𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒.” It reminded me that passion is what transforms a job into a purpose. When you genuinely love what you do, it not only enhances your performance but also inspires everyone around you—something I hope to embody as I move forward in my career. The speakers' personal journeys profoundly inspired my career goals, particularly as someone from a tech background. Their experiences illustrated the integral role of 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 across various industries, including beauty and consumer goods. This event challenged my assumptions that '𝑏𝑒𝑎𝑢𝑡𝑦 𝑖𝑠 𝑒𝑥𝑐𝑙𝑢𝑠𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑠𝑒 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ 𝑖𝑛𝑑𝑢𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑦-𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑓𝑖𝑐 𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤𝑙𝑒𝑑𝑔𝑒', highlighting the value of 𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬-𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 and demonstrating how my technical expertise can contribute to creative, customer-centric innovations. This experience truly pushed me out of my comfort zone, encouraging me to rethink how I can integrate my skills into a business like L'Oréal. I’m excited to continue stepping outside the box and exploring uncharted territories in this journey! A big thanks to the amazing L'Oréal team: Jade Lui Alan Lau (He/Him) Eunice Lam Vicky Lau and MTs: Anna Yip Alex Bhisitkul Jimmy Li Chak Wang Nicholas Ng for sharing their experiences!

🌟My FMCG Journey at L'Oréal 🌟 I am thrilled to share that I have joined L'Oréal this family as an igniter! As a leader in the beauty and cosmetics industry, L'Oréal's commitment to innovation inspires me every day. With over 40 iconic brands across 150 countries, it’s a vibrant community celebrating beauty in all its forms. Throughout my previous experience in financial institutions, family offices, tech startups, and NGOs, I’ve developed a profound understanding of financial markets and strategic investment. These experiences have sharpened my analytical skills and risk management abilities—key competencies that I am eager to bring to the FMCG sector. In the initial sessions, I’ve been captivated by L'Oréal's vibrant work culture and innovative rotary systems. They’re not merely discussing sustainability; they’re actively educating on the circularity of both financial and non-financial aspects within their supply chain. This deep commitment to making a tangible impact truly touches my heart! ---------------------------------------------------------- ✨Key Insight: Every Role Holds Value✨ I firmly believe that no task is too small; every single one is vital to our shared journey. Our experiences serve as essential building blocks, offering invaluable opportunities for growth and transformation. For example, a mere 1% improvement in operational efficiency can save a company with $10 billion in revenue around $100 million. This powerful insight highlights the significant influence of even the smallest contributions. By embracing each responsibility with a proactive spirit and a heartfelt dedication to continuous learning, I can turn routine tasks into meaningful actions that foster both my personal development and the organization’s success. Seizing every opportunity is essential, as our collective efforts can lead to extraordinary achievements. Together, we have the potential to create something truly remarkable! Lastly, thank you Chak Wang Nicholas Ng Anna Yip Alex Bhisitkul Jimmy Li for sharing invaluable insights, and Jade Lui Alan Lau (He/Him) Eunice Lam Vicky Lau for organizing this and upcoming events. #LOrealIgnite #WeAreLOreal #LOrealHongKong #LorealForYouth #Empowered #BeautyTech #CreateTheBeautyThatMovesTheWorld #CareerGrowth #Upskilling

What Does It Really Mean to Work at L'Oréal? ✨ Working at L'Oréal’s Paris office is far from the glamorous stereotypes you might see in movies. It's not a carefree adventure through picturesque streets like in “Emily in Paris”. The reality is closer to the intensity of “The Devil Wears Prada” — but even that doesn’t capture the full scope of the L'Oréal experience. Yes, the office offers stunning views of the Seine and the Eiffel Tower, along with cafés, terraces, and an oxygen room. However, behind this beauty lies demanding work that requires full commitment and a deep sense of responsibility. 💭 At L'Oréal, we don’t just create products; we create experiences that touch millions of lives. This level of impact demands attention to detail and a passion for excellence. Every project, every presentation reflects the hard work and dedication poured into making a difference. It’s incredibly rewarding when that effort is recognized and celebrated. What truly sets L'Oréal apart is its culture of collaboration. There's no room for toxicity here. Informal interactions, like grabbing coffee with leadership, are encouraged, and everyone is on a first-name basis, even with top executives. This reflects a workplace where every individual is valued and respected. 🫂 Working at L'Oréal is not just about professional growth — it’s about being part of a team that’s influencing global trends. For me, it’s more than just a job; it’s a privilege. Follow me to stay updated on what life inside L'Oréal really looks like! 💌

My L'Oréal Ignite Journey This Month: A Webinar Full of Insights💡 I'm excited to kick off my L'Oréal Ignite journey by participating in the first webinar, Life as an MT @L'Oréal. This webinar gave me deeper insights into L'Oréal's culture and philosophy, as well as a comprehensive understanding of the MT program. I would like to share three key takeaways from the webinar: ⭐️ Be yourself, not who others want you to be. Everyone is unique with their own talents. The MT emphasized that there is no single ideal candidate for the company, so we shouldn't change ourselves based on societal norms or others' expectations. Instead, we should confidently embrace who we are and showcase our strengths. ⭐️ Your major doesn’t define your career path – step out of your comfort zone. Before hearing from the MTs, I assumed they all came from business backgrounds. Surprisingly, Nicholas’s story shows that students from various academic backgrounds can become MTs and apply their knowledge in the workplace. This reminded me not to be afraid of stepping into unfamiliar areas. ⭐️ Keep a growth mindset. The sharing inspired me to stay open to feedback and never stop learning, especially in a dynamic, fast-paced, and innovation-driven work environment. Learn as much as you can, as knowledge is the master plan. Constant self-improvement and reflecting on feedback are key to successfully facing new challenges and seizing more opportunities. Additionally, MT Nicholas shared a quote from the founder: "A company is not walls and machines, it’s people, people, people.” This quote left a deep impression on me, making me realize how much L'Oréal values its employees and is committed to creating a diverse and supportive work environment. A huge thank you to the L'Oréal TA Team Jade Lui Alan Lau (He/Him) Eunice Lam Vicky Lau for organizing this insightful session and to all the MTs for sharing their valuable experiences and tips with us.💖 Looking forward to the upcoming events!✨ #lorealIgnite #weareloreal #lorealforyouth #empowered #beautytech #futureofbeauty #careergrowth #upskilling
