Love this : I think I’ll have a go at this for my QuAlms Haus idea to tackle U.K. plc ‘s 136,000 16-24 young homeless through modular construction on surplus local / public authority land within U.K. plc’s 12 Freeports Idea would be to work as a collective of SoloPreneurs / Micro (1–11 employees) using the Bartercard system as a way of recording your contribution.

As usual our motto is “ INW” …. “ it’ll never work but something needs to pdq as far as the 136,000 young homeless are concerned. First thing to do is to sign the Parliamentary petition so as to get a debate in the House of Commons - I’ll share in a moment. Let me know if you are interested in participating in any of the following Freeport: Greenport areas …. In effect as a “ social entrepreneur”:- Humber Felixstowe Plymouth Liverpool East Midlands Edinburgh

The Programme

🎓 Reflecting on an enriching journey filled with growth, I'm thrilled to share the completion of my Master's degree from Cardiff Metropolitan University! 📚 It's been a whirlwind two years of intense study and hands-on experience, and I'm immensely proud of the learnings and self-development that have transpired. One of the highlights of my academic journey was undoubtedly the unforgettable placement at West Ham United FC. Being immersed in the dynamic environment of the West Ham United Academy was an experience like no other. Under the guidance of David Johnson and Toby Griffiths, I had the privilege of delving deep into the intricacies of athletic performance and coaching methodologies. Their mentorship was truly invaluable, shaping my perspective and providing me with a solid foundation for my career ahead. Key Reflections: -      WORK HARD, SOMEONE'S ALWAYS WATCHING o  All your actions are viewed upon, whether someone is in the room or not. How you prepare and deliver will always be acknowledged so put yourself in the best position possible and prepare properly. This also applies to getting jobs done, there are always ‘cupboard jobs’ that aren’t pretty but to still carry them out to the best of your ability shows a lot about who you are. -      ENJOY YOURSELF AND HAVE A LAUGH o  Sometimes you can get so caught up on chasing results and ensuring everything is absolutely perfect that you lose sight of the little laughs and enjoying yourself. Be able to let the laughs flow and have fun while still getting after the required performance. -      BACK YOUR ABILITY o  Imposter syndrome is very predominant in life and the more you delve into a subject area there is a higher chance of feeling this way. You may not think it at the time but its key to remember you haven’t got to where you are for nothing, your knowledge, skills and experiences will set you up for the success you have achieved (and will achieve). As I look to the future, I'm filled with excitement and anticipation for the potential of my current job at Collegiate School and other opportunities that lie ahead. I'm eager to continue contributing to the industry, leveraging my newfound knowledge and experiences to help athletes unlock their full potential and achieve their goals. Here's to embracing the endless possibilities that the future holds, and to the journey that has brought me to this point! 🌟 #StrengthAndConditioning #MastersDegree #AthleticPerformance #SportsScience #WestHamUnited #Gratitude

The best part about The University of Sheffield's MBA program is the real-world experiences and perspectives along with academics. The London Career Safari was one such journey for me—an opportunity to connect with industry leaders, gain firsthand insights, and broaden my understanding. I have summarized my reflections through a blog. Read here - https://lnkd.in/gJVRerMK

As I enter my 19th year at Lloyd, my tenure has officially become an adult! With this new milestone, I feel more empowered and ready to voice my opinions. Today marks a significant moment for me as I celebrate 18 incredible years with Lloyd, a journey filled with learning, evolution, and growth. I am deeply grateful to all the stakeholders, management, colleagues, and students who have been and continue to be a part of this journey. From starting with 8 employees and 100 students, we have grown to an institution with 800 employees and 9,000 students. Together, we have achieved quality accreditations, conducted high-impact research, and produced university rankers. We've created robust processes and systems that have become the foundation of our success. Working at Lloyd has been my passion, and I have poured my heart into building this institute brick by brick. Along the way, I have built invaluable connections within the industry, political, bureaucratic, and regulatory spheres, and made lifelong friends. While the journey has had its bittersweet and challenging moments, it has been immensely rewarding and fulfilling. I firmly believe that it is by God's grace, destiny, and the Almighty's blessings that all of this has possible. Most importantly, I have learnt that positions are temporary and organisations move on, just the mark you leave by the work you do and the relations you build along the way, remain. I have learnt to stay calm during storms, and matured to believe that there is always something to learn. I have realised that perfection is a myth and we have to let go, for peace of our own mind and those working with us. For me, other than the growth of the institute in all ways and the skilling of the students, maintaining a good culture and a cordial atmosphere for all individuals to thrive has been crucial. I believe together we can, and together we must. #Growth #Learning #Gratitude #Milestone #HigherEducation #Blessed Lloyd Institute of Management and Technology Pharm.
