Every rally, I make it a point to ask the Team: "What’s the good news?" It might seem like a small thing, but to me, it’s crucial. When you’re tackling high-priority issues and running in the red, it’s easy to overlook the victories—both big and small. But taking that moment to celebrate together does more than just acknowledge a job well done. — It lifts our spirits — It strengthens our connections — It reminds us why we’re all here Because when we share our wins, it’s not just about success itself. It’s about the people who made it happen. And I’ve seen how this simple question has impacted our culture. It turns our focus from just hitting targets to valuing the journey and the teamwork behind every achievement. So, the next time you’re with your Team, try asking: "What’s the good news?" You might be surprised at how much a little celebration can do.

Last month I facilitated Zest's team retreat, and it truly sparked so many things within. Here are some reflections: 1) It's refreshing to see how vulnerability can spark deeper connections within teams. 2) Culture of giving: The team deeply inspired me here, especially the leadership. I learned to make myself more available to those around me, prioritize their needs, and expand my capacity to give. 3) I get excited when people start opening up about team dynamics they've been feeling within their team. It's very uncommon to have a team that is tension free. And it's such a relief to witness these conversations happening. 4) Verbal appreciation creates magic. A few things are as fulfilling as feeling seen and recognized within your team. Sometimes a "good job" on the go isn't enough, sometimes we need to PAUSE, and say it loud and clear: I appreciate your effort, I appreciate you! While facilitating / being present for +12 hrs a day for almost a week is hectic for my body, my mind and heart were very full with all the connections, learnings and joyful moment's I've experienced.

In our journey, we’ve learned the value of celebrating small wins every step of the way. These moments of recognition keep the team motivated and push them to go that extra mile, doing things others might not. From my perspective, celebrating and appreciating efforts—no matter how small—creates an enthusiastic, driven team. This energy not only boosts morale but also fosters a positive work environment, leading to impressive results. It's the small wins that lead to bigger successes in the long run.

🌟 Feeling Grateful for the Power of Teamwork! 🌟 Today, I want to take a moment to express my deep gratitude for the incredible team I am privileged to work with every day. 🙌 It’s often said that a team is more than just a group of people who work together. It's a community where each member feels supported, valued, and inspired to bring their best selves to the table. When we create an environment where collaboration, trust, and genuine care for one another thrive, we unlock the true potential of every individual. 💡 Why is this so important? Because when we feel valued and connected, we are not just more productive but also more creative, more resilient, and more committed to achieving our collective goals. Being surrounded by such talented, driven, and compassionate colleagues pushes me to strive for excellence. I am constantly inspired by the way each team member brings their unique strengths and perspectives, creating a richer, more dynamic environment where everyone can grow and succeed. 🌱 Here’s my invitation to all of us: Let’s continue to lift each other up, to be the best versions of ourselves, and to create an environment where everyone feels empowered to excel. When we support one another and cultivate a space of mutual respect and encouragement, there’s no limit to what we can achieve together. To my amazing team—thank you for the positivity, the collaboration, and the constant inspiration. Let’s keep driving forward and making great things happen, together! 🚀 #Gratitude #Teamwork #Leadership #Culture #GrowthMindset #Inspiration #TogetherWeAchieve
