I Celebrate Your Success Like It's Mine (And You Should Too!) A close friend shared her fantastic news with me—she received a much-deserved job offer. In that moment, amidst the hustle of our fast-paced business world, where personal achievements often overshadow collective joy, we shared a genuine celebration. I hugged her and expressed how thrilled I was, whispering a hopeful prayer that soon, I might share similar news. Guess what? Just a week later, I received my own job offer. It was surprising, yet it felt like the universe conspiring in our favor. This experience taught me that success truly isn't a solo journey but a shared adventure. Lesson learnt: 🚀 **Celebration over Competition** Be genuinely happy for others and don't hate them. It's not about 'me,' but 'us.' It's about pushing forward together, not pulling each other down. Celebrating other's successes instead of hate. 🤝 **Trust the Process** Each of us is on a unique journey. Comparing your chapter 1 to someone else's chapter 20? It serves no purpose. Instead, trust your own process and know that your time will come. 📈 **Win Together, Lose Together** In a truly collaborative environment, we all win together. And yes, sometimes we lose together too. Don’t pull others down to reach the top; extend a hand and climb together. Together, we can transform our environments into hubs of positivity and productivity. Here’s to more shared successes and the unstoppable power of genuine joy!

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 You’ve probably heard this: ⚠️“Don’t work too hard.” ⚠️“Don’t do more than you’re asked to.” But let me tell you this—when you’re just starting out, that extra effort matters. ➜ Go beyond your daily tasks. ➜ Learn something new after work. ➜ Volunteer for that challenging project. These aren’t sacrifices; they’re investments. When you put in more effort today: ✅ You grow faster than your peers. ✅ You gain confidence in tackling challenges. ✅ You build a reputation that speaks for itself. 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗱𝗱 𝘂𝗽.

October is my favorite month of the year. 🎃 For some people, it can feel like a spooky month beyond ghost stories and misty nights. At this point in the year, I usually start hearing from others: - "I didn't accomplish everything I wanted to this year." - "I'm not looking forward to performance reviews." - "I have no idea why I'm in this job." - "My boss doesn't like me." - "My business is a failure." We are our own worst critics and when we're in our echo chambers, we're more likely to think in extremes. Before we can support others, self-compassion has to come first. Let's make space for the fears, but also for the courage, resilience, and ambition you possess. Let's embrace the fact that pleasing everyone is a losing game; if you live in alignment with your values both in your career and life, you're going to vibe with the people who matter. Be kind to yourself. You've done a lot more than you think. 🧡 𝗜'𝗺 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 1:1 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀.

The return often brings fresh challenges, as the hero now sees the world through a transformed lens. This is where we start to apply what we've learned in our daily lives. What insights have you gained from your journey, and how can you bring that wisdom into your own world? Let’s take that journey home together.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ♦️After the victory comes the return—and it’s not always easy. Coming back to the familiar world with new knowledge and strength can be challenging, as it often requires us to reshape the life we left behind. On the Road Back, we may face new obstacles—resistance from others or doubts from within. Yet, this phase is essential, as it allows us to bring our experiences full circle, not by reverting to the past, but by integrating a new perspective into our everyday lives.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣#herosjourney12stages⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

Are you truly taking the reins at work and in your life? We often think that the power to make decisions and act on them is given to us by someone else. But that's not the case. Every moment of every day, we have the chance to make meaningful decisions and act on them. We decide where to focus our attention. We choose where and how to listen. We control what to say and how to act. These personal, internal decisions are the root of all our agency. Mastering this means we're not held back when it comes to making the big decisions and taking big actions in our work and lives. So, are you ready to claim your full agency at work? Let's start making those decisions that matter.

Or perhaps a personal achievement you worked hard to reach? Pride can often sneak up in the quieter moments, the ones where you step back, take a breath, and realise just how far you’ve come. Yet, in all the busyness of life, it’s easy to rush past these moments without fully appreciating them. I recently came across something I had written a few years ago and forgotten about. It was actually very good and I was both pleased at the quality and proud of my earlier self, at the same time. Celebrating your achievements, big or small, isn’t just about looking back—it’s about fuelling your confidence to move forward. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐚 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐩𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐚𝐲, “𝐈 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭”?

✨ The mark we leave on the people we work with In our professional journey, we don’t always achieve everything we set out to. A specific role, an ambitious goal, or even a dream may slip out of reach due to choices, unexpected obstacles, or unforeseen circumstances. But does true success lie solely in the position, status, or salary we achieve? Or is it found in the most valuable thing we leave behind: the mark we imprint on the people we work with (colleagues, leaders, clients, suppliers, etc.)? 🤔 Have you ever stopped to reflect on the mark you’re leaving? Are you the kind of person who, through small daily actions, inspires, supports, and helps others believe more in themselves? Or are you so focused on your own goals that you end up leaving marks of insecurity and pain on those you encounter? ⏳ Remember: everything is temporary. One day, the position, power, and status we value so much (as a reflection of the society we live in) will be mere memories. What will truly endure is the impact you had on the lives of others, how you made them feel, and the emotional legacy you left behind. There is still time to choose the type of impact you want to leave. Choose the path of empathy, respect, and mutual growth. After all, being a good professional isn’t just about what we do but about how we touch the lives of those who cross our path. 💛
