"When the trust account is high, communication is easy, instant, and effective.” - Stephen Covey Building trust forms the cornerstone of Semco Style, and thus, this ideology is the starting point of every change. - It is all about treating adults as adults. - It’s also about the belief that when people have the right information, they will make the best decisions for both themselves and the organization. A low power gap, horizontal as well as vertical, also makes it easier to build trust. Small actions, like sharing information openly or encouraging team members to voice their opinions, can significantly boost trust within your organization. Here's something to ponder: What small steps could you take today to start building a stronger foundation of trust in your team?

“Purpose fuels passion. Use your passion to make an impact.” Practicing what we preach, the Semco Style Institute Global ‘took it outside’ the screen and went to Phuket, Thailand, to meet offline! It was an inspiring few days looking back on how SSI began, revisiting our purpose, and realigning our goals to create more impact as we approach our 10th-year milestone. In this digital age, meeting people anywhere has become more convenient, but nothing beats personal interaction every once in a while. Through this team retreat, we were able to look each other in the eye as we asked ourselves, “What impact do we want to make through Semco Style Institute?” The conversations, realizations, and discussions were priceless. We share the same passion. Now, it’s time to use that passion to make an impact on the community! Farouk el Kodady, Daphne van Beek, Nick Sijmens, Christiaan Grové, Kaiz Ambrocio-Llamanzares and special shoutout to Puck Algera, PhD for walking with us through the week!
