Reflections on #BrauBeviale2024: Key Takeaways After several follow-up discussions post-event, here are my quick impressions: 1. More empty space than last year. 2. Fewer international customers, especially from the US. 3. Discussions were more detailed and focused. 4. A new partnership for VIPOLL D.O.O. with LIQUINOVA , marking a successful first-ever joint showcase at the tradeshow. One big question remains: Should #BrauBeviale consider shifting to a four-year rhythm like Drinktec to reduce the number of shows and allow for more impactful, innovation-driven events? 🤔 What do you think? Let’s discuss in the comments!

This was my first time attending the The Culture Factor Group annual conference, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity! To connect with culture-drivers from around the world was a unique gift. On our panel we chatted about how to drive organizational culture across global teams; the importance of DEI and intentionality on building diverse skill sets among teams; and what the advent of AI could mean for organizational culture & structure. A big thank you to Marc Jacobs for hosting the discussion, and to Jina Couture and Benoît Malric for sharing their expertise. There was lots of insightful content throughout the day; here were a few of my other key takeaways: 💡 Short-term decisions are made based on rationality; long-term decisions are made based on emotion. To relate this to branded merch specifically: building #brandlove will help you emotionally encode your brand with your target audience. 💡 Insights on the dimensions of national culture will enable you to optimize messaging and adoption of behaviours across global audiences; knowing how to marry these with your organizational culture is where the magic happens. 💡 We know rapid organizational change is now the norm; bringing your teams along on the transformation journey, and hiring for resiliency, adaptability and optimism is key. So to anyone looking to future-proof their careers: how are you building your skills? And are you actively contributing to your org culture to help drive success? Or are you simply passive? Thank you, Alex Gallacher, for the invite, and kudos to you, Egbert Schram and #TheCultureFactor team!

Let’s discuss the latest trends and innovations in the beverage industry at #BrauBeviale2024! See you there!

A Decade at Expo West! It’s that time of year again. When I first began attending Natural Products Expo West a decade ago in 2014, I was blown away by the excitement, the enormity and the elegance of what appeared to be hundreds of thousands of people coming together for one cause, providing the world with better-for-you natural products. This is the place to get your finger on the pulse of industry trends, statistics culled from tens of thousands of products, buyers and sellers, and learnings from industry leaders for every part of your business.  Let’s not forget sampling everything in natural products under the sun. I’m looking forward to seeing the usual suspects of friends and colleagues I’ve made over the years and making new friends. Also, a big shout out to Carlotta Mast, Jenna Fitch and the entire New Hope Network team for putting on a great event year after year. I will be walking the show and would love to connect with anyone looking to learn more about how to best develop, launch and scale their natural product brand. Feel free to schedule time to meet up and walk the aisles here: https://lnkd.in/eGxum-Za. I'm also co-hosting an event this year, 4th Annual Plant-based Investor Summit (see profile for details). And if our paths don't cross, have a blast, try out more plant-based goodies, and soak in all the natural goodness! 🌿✨ #ExpoWest #Natprodexpowest #plantbasedsolutions #veganbusiness #cpgindustry #mentoring

Surpass 70 topics - Final round of Viettel Post ❤️❤️❤️ 3 top topics go directly to Viettel Group’s first round

💪 Did you know that resilience is a skill that can be developed by anyone? I had a BLAST teaching people how to use their past experiences of overcoming adversity to make them stronger at FitFest, Florida's largest Fitness Expo, this past weekend! I led people through a simple resilience exercise based on past research, including my dissertation research. 🔽 Here is the super-simplified version you can practice in your journal (if you have been wanting to pick up journaling but don't know what to journal about, here is your first prompt! 😉)🔽 1️⃣ Journal about an experience of adversity you have already overcome. 2️⃣ What was the challenge? 3️⃣ How and when did you know you have overcome it? 4️⃣ What perspectives did you gain from this experience? 5️⃣ What skills did this experience teach you? Whenever you've had a tough day, pick that journal back up to remind yourself of what you are capable of 💪 _______________________ I am founding Nourish not only as a platform for nutritional nourishment, but also as a platform for psychological nourishment, as I TRULY believe one without the other is useless.

Who doesn't love pie and Vegas?? Register today- https://lnkd.in/gBgb5Qdi Fun fact- In middle school, my class competed for an unknown prize to see who could list the most digits of Pi. I memorized and proudly recited 100 digits for my class only to win a small pin-back button with the Pi symbol on it. Still have about 45 digits memorized 😂 #mrx #marketresearch #piday #SCIAVegas #SCIAInsights #insights #networkingevent

Some of you may know I have a saying, “pie makes everything better”. But what’s better than pie? Free pie!! You know you were already planning on going to the Vegas event (because it’s going to be our best year yet!), may as well register today and get some free pie too. 🥧🥧🥧 #mrx #marketresearch #marketresearcher #inpersonevent #vegasbaby
