🎉 Celebrating one year of hygge associates! 🎉 It’s hard to believe it’s already been a year since we launched hygge associates. Balancing starting a new business whilst doing the day job has had its challenges, but it’s been absolutely worth it. This year has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows, teaching us that persistence, resilience, and self-belief are key. Now we’re beginning to see the rewards of our hard work. Would we have done things differently? Perhaps. We’ve talked to other people who have left their jobs entirely to start their businesses, who have told me they wish they’d taken our path. What we’ve learned is that there’s no right or wrong way—just different approaches, each with its own merits. As we look ahead, we’re excited about what the next year will bring. At hygge associates, people development and wellbeing are at the heart of what we do. We'd also like to thank everyone who has supported us as well as our clients. We offer training, coaching, and consulting to workplaces as well as private individuals. Want to learn more? Visit our website at www.hyggeassociates.co.uk or contact us at hello@hyggeassociates.co.uk.

How about that? Four years straight! Culture is king and consistency is paramount to the mission.

Let Cuppa help you create the right conversation for your next event or conference.

Grateful for the Best Places to Work recognition for the FOURTH year in a row! Highlighting two of our defined Core Behaviors I feel strongly lead to employees thriving day after day and year after year through the minutes to moments to milestones. 1- BUILD UP - We value leadership that equips others and want all employees to ask themselves daily how they can help increase the capacity of others. 2- UP A NOTCH- How am I setting the bar and improving personally and professionally? We desire to do excellent, bar-setting work because our colleagues, participants in the mission, corporate partners, volunteers, nonprofit and community partners, benefactors and the community are worth it! Do good work and do it with excellence!

I love this article and quote from Frank Day, “Keep getting better. Keep that saw sharpened, There is no final destination; it’s about giving your best every single day.” There are so many ways to keep the saw sharpened....books, seminars, videos, classes AND being in a peer group! I am in a Vistage Worldwide, Inc. peer group, our values are Trust, Caring, Challenge and Growth. In this group, we CARE about each other and are committed to each other's success. Because we TRUST and CARE, we have the courage to CHALLENGE each other which drives GROWTH! #Vistage #peergroups

Today, we celebrate the incredible contributions of workers and embrace the dawn of a new month, let this occasion serve as a medium for self-reflection, a time for us to appreciate our accomplishments and identify areas for growth and improvement. As we set on this new chapter, let us grab the power of strategic planning, refined approaches and ensure we operate at our highest potential. 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐲! 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡!

𝗜’𝗺 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲! This week, I quietly celebrated the 3rd anniversary of my company, CarpeLux Coaching, LLC. In the context and fallout of last week’s election, it felt strange—even a bit inappropriate—to celebrate anything at all. But taking a moment to recognize and reflect on this journey still feels important...or perhaps is 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵. Here's my brief reflection... 𝗔 𝗳𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗜’𝗺 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗼𝗳: 🙌🏽 𝑪𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒚– Even as a solopreneur, I'm blessed to be surrounded by talented, driven colleagues who are all aligned in their commitment to impact and purpose in the DEIB space. I've developed connections with mentors and colleagues who lift each other up and want each other to succeed. 🙌🏽 𝑪𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝑾𝒊𝒏𝒔 – It's been an honor to witness clients transform and realize their full potential, knowing that I played a part in guiding them there. This is at the core of why I'm doing this work and I whole-heartedly love it. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴: 🚧 𝑩𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒃𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒉𝒂𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒂 𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒋𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒚. Navigating self-doubt, being a team of one as life happens, finding the niche and messaging that feels right for me—every small step, forward, back or sideways, is part of the process. 🚧𝑩𝒂𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒆𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝒈𝒓𝒐𝒘𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒃𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕. I've learned that it takes constant intention to avoid burnout while staying committed to the purpose. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜’𝗺 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿: 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒎𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒑𝒖𝒓𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒆-𝒅𝒓𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝑩𝑰𝑷𝑶𝑪 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒇𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒔 are in the works, and I can’t wait to bring them to you. The work behind the scenes is ongoing. Stay tuned for more in the coming weeks and months. Thank you for being part of this journey—here’s to many more years of growth and impact! 🌟 Photo credit: Diana Levine
