New month, new me? More like new month, same me, but with a fresh dose of gratitude and a whole lot of coffee" Hey friends! As we dive into this new month, I'm feeling grateful for the wild ride that's been my life so far. I mean, who needs a smooth road when you can have a bumpy one that teaches you resilience and patience, right? Looking back, I'm thankful for: - The wins (because who doesn't love a good celebration?) - The challenges (because they've made me stronger and wiser) - My network (most especially my accountability group and my LinkedIn family because you guys are the real MVPs) And looking ahead, I'm excited for: - New opportunities (because who knows what amazing things are waiting for us?) - Growth (because I'm not done learning and evolving yet) - Positivity (because life is too short for anything else) So, what are you grateful for this month? Let's share our thoughts and inspire each other to make this month one for the books! #NewMonth #Gratitude #Blessings #Goals #Opportunities #Growth #Inspiration From you fav HR❤️

Celebrated my birthday few days ago and I couldn’t help but reflect on the journey so far: career switching, navigating challenges, celebrating wins, and embracing growth. I still don’t have it figured out but I am grateful for the opportunities and connections that have shaped my life and career. 🥂Cheers to continued growth, learning, and seizing new opportunities! Also, 🥂🥂 to my first post on LinkedIn 😁😁 #firstpost #reflection #gratitude #professionaldevelopment #careerjourney

With the rise of AI, many fear it will take away our jobs. However, one thing AI cannot replicate is tacit knowledge—knowledge gained through personal experience. Even for humans, tacit knowledge is challenging to codify because it is deeply rooted in individual experiences and specific contexts. The best way to transfer tacit knowledge is through human interaction such as 1-on-1, or a knowledge-sharing communities. Such communities foster an environment where people can share, learn, and collaborate to create richer knowledge—something AI cannot achieve. I believe AI never will, as it operates on the assumption that it is always right, whereas only humans can identify and correct their errors.

Challenge: Start your day with 3 things you are grateful for and it will transform your perspective in both your business and personal life. Gratitude is more than just a feeling - it’s a guiding principle in both my personal and professional life. I’m grateful for my supportive family and the opportunities that have shaped my journey. I’m also thankful for my team at WRL, who prioritise gratitude and foster a positive work culture and stronger client relationships. Practising gratitude has taught me resilience, empathy and the importance of acknowledging others’ contributions. How is gratitude guiding you in your career? 👇

I developed a habit of setting goals both from a professional standpoint and on a personal level. There's that feeling that comes when you look back and realise, you 'did' it. I also realised that at this stage of my life, every moment counts and I don't have another 30 or so years to go back around the career circle. That's why everyday counts. No experience is wasted. Goals and goal setting is a big deal. Setting goals keeps you accountable, responsible and focused. It builds character, and develop your determination muscle. This month in particular is very special to me. It is my 21st wedding anniversary month, and also my crossing over and taking possession month (more on this later.) Do you set goals? No judgement really, but my recommendations are: - Write your vision, and make them plain on tablets. - Verbalize what you desire to see happen for you and for others. - Ask a trusted friend to hold you accountable. - Take personal responsibility for your actions. Trust me, by the end of the year, you will see notable changes in you, your accomplishments, and possibly in those around you. #happynewmonth

According to my recent LinkedIn notifications, I've just had my 22nd anniversary at Firstsource, 16 years of which have been in the collections sector, so I thought I’d share a thought for the benefit of anyone in the formative stages of their career in collections. The industry and world in which we operate have shifted massively over this time, but some age-old truths remain as relevant today as they were back then. When things are good, and you feel like you’re flying, don’t let it go to your head. Enjoy the moment but prepare yourself for the tougher times ahead, and the tough times won’t feel so bad when they come. And when things are tough, and you’re struggling to see how you could turn it around, don’t let it weigh too heavy on your shoulders. In our sector, this is especially true. The collection market is cyclical and subject to macro-economic conditions that we have no personal influence over. That can feel daunting for some at times, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned throughout my career it’s that focusing on the things you can personally influence, and facing up to and riding the inevitable waves heading your way is a far better policy to embrace. Thank you to everyone who got in touch – I’m already looking forward to my 23rd anniversary 😃    Image from Jeremy Bishop, via Unsplash #Resilience #Leadership #Wellbeing #MentalHealth
