Last week I watched a video from Lara Acosta and she made a great point "Most people on LinkedIn don't actually know who you are" I've been on LinkedIn for over 10 years, but I've never introduced myself - so here it is Hi! I'm Bobby 👋 → A proud father, husband and son → An Iranian immigrant, raised in London and living in Hong Kong → I work for the best global workplace advisory and innovation company - The Instant Group → I am a community advocate ❤️ → I run Heroes Of Hong Kong, which raises awareness for charities and social enterprises in the city I have fallen in love with → I am undergoing my International Coaching Federation ACC qualification to become a business leadership coach through Institute of Executive Coaching and Leadership (IECL) → I donate 100% of my coaching proceeds to Spiral Skills CIO UK based charity that supports under privileged youths in London → I write blogs and make videos around sales, business development and leaderships topics Think Big Coach → I love my rescue dog Pretzel, who will often be part of my content → In whatever spare time I can squeeze out after all of the above - I DJ across various clubs and festivals in Hong Kong 💫 Who Do I Help? As you can see, I take pleasure in providing service to others. I therefore won't put myself in one category bucket. But these are perhaps the people that may find value from me: ↳Young people starting out their career in sales ↳Managers of sales teams struggling to get the best results ↳Businesses that need help to explore better office space solutions ↳Charities in Hong Kong that would like a spotlight on social media Things you won't see from me ❌ Gym selfies ❌ Captain obvious advice ❌ Random life quotes on billboards Things you will see from me ✅ Structure, detailed and specific content around sales, business development and leadership improvements ✅ Videos of me having a laugh at my own expense ✅ Photos of the beautiful landscapes in Hong Kong Last and slightly sad point I've had an overwhelming amount of support and positive accolades over the past few months from people who value my content, but I've also had some feedback about being 'cringe' or 'attention seeking' I welcome all feedback on how I can improve both as a creator and as a human, but I am genuinely putting my heart and my late laaate nights into everything you see (remember, I have a newborn too!) So, more love and less hate is all I ask for in return Thank you!

Support Your Network Saturdays #5 Joel is a friend of mine from Uni and for the past 12 years he's been working with some of the most underprivileged boroughs of London. His mission statement is something I feel deeply connected to. It was organisations such as Spiral Skills CIO that helped people like me and my friends to stay on the straight and narrow growing up. I would love to see how my LinkedIn community can take a moment to learn more about the great work this guy is doing, and support through a simple click of the button 'share' - come on guys, let's make LinkedIn a place to give back! 💫 Name: Joel Balkwill 💫 Location: Brixton, London 💫 Services offered: Skills & Leadership development Programmes, Mentoring & Wellbeing support, Job Brokerage and Community Connecting 💫 Mission statement: As an expert educator and community developer I have worked to connect underserved young Londoners to the people, support and experiences they need to thrive. Through Spiral we have built the upward pathway to fulfilling futures that harnesses the assets of the community to provide a safe and nurturing ecosystem. 💫 Example of a client win: Enabling a young person to make the journey from the fringes of the education system, through a bespoke package of support, to realising their aspirations and fulfilling their potential. We enhance established social systems by developing interventions that are designed by and delivered by the community. In turn this work informs research and policy decisions that improve service delivery and socio economic outcomes for local and national government. Our corporate partners can engage directly with their target demographics and prepare them for opportunities and gather insights through our bespoke experiences. By diversifying their workforce and attracting amazing early entry talent organisations enhance their overall performance and ensure they meet their HR and CSR goals. 💫 Fun fact: For ten years I organised the Retro Football Club, bringing back the jumpers for goalposts and big tackles philosophy to British football. 💫 Pet hate: Educational spaces with no wifi. 💫 Favourite Sports Team: Fulham Football Club
