Alliance for Women in Media’s Post

Ask any sales or marketing professional… Launching new products and building new territories is not easy. Over a year ago my husband, Dean Peaple , joined this company to launch a new division of window coverings. Through operations and production challenges, changes in leadership and the minimal marketing support common with ‘startups’ - my husband never gave up! I have watched him be tenacious and creative, using common sense, guerilla tactics, and teamwork- always finding a way. I know the road is long, - and I admire my husbands patience and perseverance. When you work hard and see a reward with a Win like this- you have to celebrate! Most of us are so busy doing the work we do- we forget to take time to celebrate the wins. It’s as easy as 123… 1. Take a moment to reflect on your wins 2. Be proud of your accomplishments, 3. Share your gratitude with those that helped you achieve your goals. Celebrate the Wins!

Celebrating a big win today! 🚀 It’s a reminder that consistent effort and a strong team make all the difference. Here’s to even bigger milestones ahead! How do you celebrate your team’s victories and keep the momentum going?

Peer Training I find such a training as the best training platform. It is also the best environment to thrive without fear of failure knowing fully well that your mentor will guide you through the process while letting you chart your own path to specialized field.

🌟 Canto SKO left an indelible mark on my career journey, standing out as THE best #SKO experience. It wasn't just about enduring a typical PowerPoint parade and being talked at; it was an immersive blend of reward, inspiration, and genuine camaraderie. No checkboxes here—just real, impactful team building in one luxurious and stunning location. The schedule struck the perfect balance, allowing us ample time for both learning and leisure. The cuisine whispered, "You're worth it," echoing the sentiment of appreciation from our leaders throughout our time in Austin, Texas. We departed feeling more than just colleagues; we were a tight knit family with a shared purpose. This photo, with our stunning daily view, captures the magic of unity and achievement. It exemplifies how investing in company culture and morale yields tremendous results. This is what effective team building looks like—more than just a checkbox, it's about delivering tangible outcomes and fostering genuine connection. What a phenomenal time indeed! #Canto SKO #TeamBuilding #CompanyCulture #bestcompanytoworkfor #leadershiplessons

Morning Brief: Last one picked. Was it you? It certainly was me. Always the last one to get picked. Often times, by virtue of being last, I wasn’t even picked, just defaulted into one team or another. Typically to the dismay of those already on it. Today… well, today I am the one doing the picking. How did I go from last to first? I will tell you what I did’t do. I didn’t quit.   I didn’t let it get to me. I didn’t stop dreaming. I didn’t leave my fate for others to determine for me. So this one is for all of you who don’t get picked at first draft. It is ok. Arguably, if framed correctly, it is the biggest advantage you’ll have later in life. Sure was for me. It will teach you lessons nothing else could. Go make your own team. Pick your own players. And dominate the field you are playing on. Cheers to all you future winners out there! (Photo: this was yesterday. This is my tribe. My team. Some work for me. Some are coaching clients. Some are members. All people I can influence positively now because I didn't allow the naysayers stop me.)

Those big-time winners you admire so much? They were once exactly where you are right now. At some point in their journey they faced the same -> doubts -> fears -> challenges But here’s the thing— comparing yourself to them won’t get you there any faster. In fact, it’ll only slow you down. Because when you focus on what they have and what you don’t you miss out on something crucial. ✔️your own progress. ✔️how far you’ve come. The wins, big and small that have brought you to this moment. The growth you’ve experienced along the way. And the incredible runway you still have ahead of you. Your journey is unique. Your story is yours to write. So, instead of comparing start celebrating. Celebrate how much you’ve accomplished already. Celebrate the lessons you’ve learned. And celebrate the fact that you’re just getting started. The path to living your ideal life is still wide open. Keep going. Focus on you. And remember: you’re on your way to becoming the person others will one day admire. 🙌 [or…you might be there already! ] —— do you celebrate your wins and your accomplishments? you should!

It's a new Monday, so it's time to highlight a new member of our Leadership Team! ⭐ Meet Adrienne Taylor, our JLP Secretary for the 2024-2025 League year. 🌺 How long have you been a member of the Junior League? I joined the Junior League of Honolulu in 2011 🏆How do you define success? Success is not defined by outcomes, but how you feel about them. Sometimes you have to remember to take the time to celebrate small wins! ⚡What advice would you give to someone who is interested in or about to start a leadership role? Don't be afraid to try something new (like chair a committee that has nothing to do with your professional experience). Learn from anything that didn't work the way it was intended/planned to work--That's where the real learning lies (about ourselves and others). 🎶 Who is your favorite underrated musician? Tori Amos 🎥 What movie do you wish you could watch again for the first time? The Princess Bride 💪 What is your hidden talent? Crokinole (a traditional dexterity game-- it's played on a circular wooden board, with wooden circular disks as playing pieces)

Sometimes just taking a deep breath and engaging in our playful sides is exactly what we need to reset and reengage in news ways in the business. Love this reminder Hayley that laughter, creativity, teamwork, and play can have a significant impact on our connections and our joy. #wellness #joy #teamwork #impact #BusinessPerformance
