Why do we get thank yous wrong? Because we are moving too fast. Believe me, I'm guilty of it sometimes too. ❌ "Thanks. I appreciate it." ❌ "Thank you for everything." ❌ "That was great. Loved it." We stop short. The intention is good. It's right there! But we fail to bring it all the way home. So, if we truly want to communicate their value and provide fuel... 1️⃣ State what you are grateful for specifically. 2️⃣ Connect your thank you to their limbic brain. Our limbic brains do not understand language, and yet they are responsible for driving behavior. What does the limbic brain react to? Feelings. So, not only do we need to express with clarity what we liked, but we need to... s l o w d o w n... to express real appreciation by adding the WHY. So here's the formula. Thank you for x, y, z... (then highlight one or more below): ➕ Why do you appreciate it? ➕ Why is it good for business? ➕ Why is it good for the team? ➕ Why is it good for their personal brand? If you want people to feel your thank you and continue to do good things more often, slow down for clarity and connect them with the why.

In challenging situations, it's common to quickly consider tough decisions like letting go of team members due to performance issues. When faced with this, I decided to try a different approach. Although coaching wasn’t the primary focus of my role as a project manager, I was inspired by a video by Aya E. about the GROW Model and felt it could benefit my team. The GROW Model (Goal, Reality, Options, Way forward) offers a structured way to support individual growth. We applied it by setting clear quarterly goals, assessing current challenges, exploring solutions, and planning actionable steps. Regular check-ins helped us track progress and adjust as needed. Even if things are running smoothly, implementing the GROW Model can still be valuable for fostering continuous improvement and development. Although I left the company before seeing the full results, I believe this model can drive meaningful improvements. If you're facing similar challenges, consider giving the GROW Model a try. I'll share a link to the video in the comments if you’d like to learn more. A special thank you to Aya E. for her positive influence and valuable insights. Your impact has been incredibly helpful and inspiring.

I don't like hitting people and I don't like getting hit. But I still played rugby in college. For a brief semester. It was an intramural team and a college friend asked if I wanted to join. "You don't need to know how to play. We will teach you." And I was SCHOOLED in rugby. I grew up playing tennis. The closest thing I had to getting clotheslined "for fun" was growing up with older brothers. But I loved the team. The ladies were fun, colorful, and we rooted for each other on and off the field. Watching women's rugby in the Olympics was a blast from my past. Not just their athleticism but their honest-to-god team mentality. 🥉 When one person messes up, they own it and the team moves forward together. 🥉 When the team wins or loses, collectively they react together. They uplift each other constantly. 🥉 They have a lot of fun. 🥉 They are respectful of each other and their competition. Today's competition may be tomorrow's teammate, yesterday's teammate, or today's friend. 🥉 They put in the work days, weeks, months, and years before the game starts. The freakishly hard work of prep and training is not glamorous and happens when no one is watching. Business is a lot like rugby. It is rough. It is fun. No one sees the hard work you put in leading up to the win. But a team of people helped you get there. That team may be your co-workers, industry peers, business partners, friends, and/or family. In business, you can learn what you don't know. Your team will teach you. Your team will celebrate with you. Your team will pick you back up. Your team will root for you. When business clotheslines you for fun, who is on your team?

Sometimes, You’ve Got to DIY. I’m someone who thrives in teams—collaborating, co-creating, and sharing ideas has always been where I feel most alive. Recently, a dear friend and coach shared an experience that left me with a profound insight: there are times when teamwork shines, but there are also moments when you simply have to roll up your sleeves and DIY. Anna De Boer thank you for sharing your experience🙏 This isn’t about doing it alone to prove a point. It’s about recognizing that certain parts of our journey require us to take full ownership, trust our instincts, and lean into the work ourselves. Whether it’s personal growth, tackling a challenging project, or stepping outside your comfort zone—there are moments when no one else can take that step for you. While I’ll always cherish the power of collaboration, I’m learning that some milestones are crossed only when we show up for ourselves, by ourselves. I’m in a place like this and I need to fully honour that mindset to DIY. What about you? Have you ever had a moment when you realised it was time to “DIY”? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

In times of uncertainty or anxiety at work, repeating motivational quotes to yourself can help foster a positive outlook and propel you forward with your tasks. Moreover, experiencing fulfillment in your work can boost morale and enhance job satisfaction. Positive thinking in the workplace has the power to uplift spirits and deflect negativity. Building a repertoire of motivational quotes serves as a valuable resource to invigorate and inspire you throughout the day.

"No gree for anybody!" That was a popular slogan at the beginning of this year. Six months in, I decided to evaluate my progress, reflecting on the goals and plans I set at the start of the year. Through this evaluation and self-reflection, I realized I had barely scratched the surface. With this realization, I decided to take my personal development more seriously and be intentional about it. I started by purchasing two new books: "The 10X Rule" by Grant Cardone and "The 48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene. Recently, I discovered Dr.Philip Babalola's 3-day seminar on personal development, which starts today! It's themed "Personal Development with Philip Babalola" and you can bet that I will be joining this seminar. I've made a personal decision to be more intentional about my growth and will be taking it seriously for the rest of the year. At the beginning of the year, "No gree for anybody" was merely a slogan. Many of us took it as a joke and were "catching cruise." Even now, many of us still laugh when we hear it. But for me, I'm going to adopt it as a personal mantra for the rest of the year. I'm excited for this journey and look forward to seeing how it all unfolds. If you're on this path to personal development and would like to join Philip Babalola's seminar, click the link below. Trust me, it's going to be packed with valuable insights. https://lnkd.in/eD4Ztgfu PS: The seminar has started already As we're all on this journey of personal development, I'd appreciate book recommendations that could help me along the way. Please share any books that have inspired you. Let's grow together. Thank you! 🙏🏽

On Monday, I hopped on the Peloton after work, chose to unwind to some Disney+ and cycled for half an hour. When I mentioned this at the office, people were surprised I didn’t follow a high-intensity fitness class or burn over 300 calories in 30 minutes.🚴♀️ But you know what? Sometimes just showing up and doing something is better than not showing up at all. Not every day can be a 100% effort day, and that's okay.💗 In recruitment every interaction, every outreach, and every follow-up counts. It’s not about being perfect every single day; it’s about showing up and putting in the effort, even when it’s tough. But this doesn't solely apply to recruitment; in all lines of work, consistent effort and dedication are what drive long-term success and growth.💪 But rest-assured with 2 months until the end of the year, I'm cycling extra hard to generate some opportunities for my Test network. If you're a Contract Tester looking for an opportunity or a hiring Manager looking for an extra set of hands to get you over that finishing line than drop me a line on here or a.sloan@computerfutures.com Mahdi Rafinia Jordan Brown Natasha Tak Gabriella T.

Constructive Criticism > Fluffing an Ego I just had a captain reach out via Direct Message, specifically about a potential negative aspect on one of our recent videos. He was offering some constructive criticism which I extremely appreciate! He was referencing a large gap between the vessel and the step in one of our video posts, he thought it might not be the right presentation for our product. Ironically, while the filming was happening one of the crew members had made a comment about how sturdy the step was while making the leap of faith from the boat to the step compared to their other plastic step alternative. We often ask for negative feedback or constructive criticism. I am a very critical thinker, and often concentrate on the negatives before the positives. I prefer hearing the bad (the good doesn't suck either). I think real learning is from hearing about areas that can be improved. Everything can be improved. Just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has shared constructive criticism. We're working hard at improving. We can't do it without you. Have a nice labor day weekend. Safe Sailing.

The twin killers of success are impatience and greed. Parents—If your club is linked to a pro club and you are being told you are in a professional club academy or you are signing your child up to soccer camps that have a European club name associated with them and then told that your child has made the residential camp team, you can go to Europe or companies that promise your child the chance to play college, or even the college invites you to an ID camp. The red flag to look for is the $$$$. We all know that pay-to-play can be an issue. If your club does not add value, by: * Having a game model (long-term development plan, principles of play, style of play, player ID roles, etc.) * Coach evaluations * Player evaluations * Great communication * Scholarships for less income famillies * Servant leaders * Gives back to the members - Webinars, club gatherings, safe environment, quality equipment * Accountability Then, you should do your research and find a club with a servant leadership culture and a focus on long-term development. When living in a society that values sports and winning, we are vulnerable to programs that see an opportunity to make money. AS LONG AS GREED IS STRONGER THAN COMPASSION, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SUFFERING.
