Meet the Team 🙍♀️ This week we interviewed an important member of the team who works hard in the background! Kayleigh Bishop What’s your role in the company? Operations Manager How did it all start? Following completion of a BA(Hons) degree in Animal Welfare and Behaviour at the Berkshire College of Agriculture, I started my professional career in sales and advertising. At that time, I had a small holding with various horses and other animals of my own and the reality of working with animals, whilst having your own, brought many logistical and financial challenges. Therefore, I made the decision to find work that would help me fund and live out my passion! My sales career was a successful one, even winning a few awards, but as time went by, I soon realised that pure sales just wasn’t the right fit for me. I was more focused on people and planning, so I stepped away from sales and dived into the world of business operations! Over the next 12 years, I worked for both SME and corporate organisations in various industries, overseeing everything from the global shipments of thoroughbred racehorses, implementing company processes and policies to managing teams of 30+ members of staff. I haven’t looked back! I am now incredibly lucky to have my own consultancy practice specialising in Operations and HR solutions and work with incredible people like John Parr (MSc, CQSW,CMT) and his team. What do you love about being part of the EAI team? The respect, trust and ambition the people within the company have for each other and the business. What are you most passionate about when it comes to your work? Improvement. I thrive on improving business activity and seeing the positive impact it has on my clients both personally and professionally. What’s your favourite food? Tough one – bit of a foodie! South American and Italian cuisine are my absolute favourites I’d say! What’s your favourite holiday destination? Again, a tough one – I really enjoy exploring the UK from the end of Cornwall up to beautiful Scotland. I’m fond of Greece though, having had a tremendous time snorkelling and lapping up the food and culture! What do you enjoy doing in your spare time? This is simple…Spending quality time with my family and animals! That's our Kayleigh. Keep an eye on our page for our next team member introduction 👀 What do you love most about the work you do? #emotionalintelligence #emotionalassertiveness #team

When do we spend too much energy on the things that do not sustain us? I read this insightfully short post from Tim Ferriss that reminded me that as we put off the important tasks to handle all the little asks, we will starve our ambitions and purpose along the way. #priorities #focus #strategy

Professional wisdom coming at you! Og Mandino said it best, 'Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.' In the business world, these words are golden. Keep striving and planting seeds of excellence! #BusinessGrowth #OgMandino #SuccessMindset

This is not a political post. This is a post about leadership. That’s something I know quite a bit about. While researching my book, I read two fascinating books about power. The first was called Why We Elect Narcissists and Sociopaths by Bill Eddy and the second was Corruptible: Who Gets Power and How it Changes Us by Brian Klaas. I feel like they should both be required reading for every citizen on the planet. Both authors say that we need to get much better about identifying sociopaths (people who cannot feel empathy) and keep them out of positions of power. We often think those who can “do the hard thing” like, say, lay-off a thousand employees, are strong leaders. But for a sociopath, these decisions are as easy as deciding what cereal to buy. Sociopaths aren’t dangerous by default. But when they’re put in positions of power over people they can be. We don’t want sociopathic police officers, doctors, or politicians. And we don’t want them running our companies. Yet it’s estimated that 8% of senior executives are sociopaths. So why the disclaimer about politics? Read this article now that you’ve read my piece.

I truly appreciate the warm welcome and your kind words! Being part of the CARRHURE team is incredibly exciting, and I'm eagerly anticipating the chance to contribute to the company's growth and success. As a Talent Acquisition Specialist and Global Talent Consultant, I find great privilege in joining impact-driven organizations like Carrhure. So I am excited for the journey ahead! #newbeginnings #TeamCARRHURE"

Next up for the Employee Spotlight is Stuart Wymant. How long have you worked at Walpole Partnership? I joined Walpole in February 2019, so early next year I will be celebrating 5 years. What’s your role at Walpole Partnership? My core role is heading up customer success, however I also run our company objectives and continual improvement programmes, develop all brand assets and oversee our EPM business. What did you want to be when you were growing up? An artist, but despite having good technical ability I never really had the creativity for it. What do you consider to be your greatest achievement? An achievement I share with my fiancée, Lisa, is our IVF miracle daughter Layla Rose who recently turned 2 years old, proving that persistence does in fact pay off! What can you be found doing in your spare time? Seeing family, enjoying great food and drink, watching sport and playing golf whenever I get the chance. What one skill would you love to have or learn to do? A good golf short game - those who have played with me will all know... If you could time travel, where would you go? Next weekend and back again, giving me just enough time to capture all the weekend's sporting results and then return to place a large accumulator bet (a basic variation on Biff's plan in Back To The Future). What one thing really annoys you? Arrogance. What is your favourite film of all time? It's tough to choose one, but Wolf Of Wall Street is definitely up there, alongside many Christopher Nolan films. If I had been asked that question in my early teenage years it would have definitely been Rocky IV. Sweet or savoury? Savoury…I'm a starter and main guy with my desert more likely to be another pint.

An Emotional Journey Recollected Looking back to that memorable moment in April, I'm still overwhelmed with gratitude for being honored with the Milestone Award. This recognition was a surprise I could have never anticipated. The emotions that swept over me were beyond words. To be recognized in this manner by the organization kemsan Acres Global Limited , brought about a blend of happiness and overwhelming emotion. It was a proud moment that highlighted the power of consistent effort and determination. I'd like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to KEMSAN ACRES GLOBAL LIMITED for this incredible recognition. This award has not only boosted my motivation but has also reminded me of the profound impact that commitment and a relentless pursuit of excellence can have on our journey. For aspiring sales professionals, let's remember that results aren't just numbers; they are a reflection of our attitude and determination. Embrace a results-oriented mindset and watch how it propels you toward your goals. As we move forward, this year promises to be equally remarkable. With a significant focus on transforming potential opportunities into realities, I am excited to see smiles on the faces of numerous individuals as we make them proud property owners. Stay connected, as this journey has just begun! Here's to a year filled with growth, shared successes, and endless possibilities. #ThrowbackThursday #MilestoneAchievement #SalesSuccess #Gratitude #NewBeginnings #DreamsRealized

Thank you for your kind words and appreciation. Indeed, discipline is key, and effective time management plays a crucial role. Here are three quick tips by me: 1. Prioritize tasks: Identify the most important tasks and tackle them first, ensuring you allocate time according to their significance. 2. Set deadlines: Establish realistic deadlines for each task to maintain focus and ensure timely completion. 3. Minimize distractions: Create a conducive work environment by minimizing distractions, allowing you to concentrate fully on the task at hand. Starting work promptly sets a positive tone and fosters enthusiasm ✊ #employeeoftheyear #2024 #startup #discipline
