HAPPY DAY to all of you! Thank you all for being wonderful humans that have supported me and opened themselves up to the changes I and others bring into the world. We are all beautiful and unique beings and without each one of us, the other doesn’t exist. Each day, I will celebrate and appreciate your beautiful life and energy by being the best human I can be. This is how real change happens in this world. The beauty is once we unlock this power within, the outside world will reflect and receive it. The more we use it and embody it, the more powerful it becomes and the bigger its wave. Upon reflection of today, I am choosing to celebrate another beautiful moment on this earth by sharing this reflection: How are you enabling the most value with your resources? A company is similar to a bunch of cogs (gears) working together to deliver a vision. Are you taking care of the “machine” so it takes care of you? Can the process be simplified? When I walk through the stores nowadays, I am amazed by the number of products for each category. The amount of effort that goes into each product from conception to consumer is huge. Is everything you are doing and putting into the product adding value (supporting you and your customers to be healthier, happier, and more resource efficient and abundant)? What we create is what we receive. Each one of these products comes with a sizable footprint. From conception and maintenance energy (hiring, training, development, investment, regulatory, documentation, sales, marketing, certifications) to ingredient and packaging supplies and storage, to spare parts and storage, to final product staging, warehousing, and distribution, and the sustainability opportunities that exist within each one of these stages. How much food is tied up S/C? Each time a new or enhanced product hits the shelf, it impacts all the other products in some way (from conception to acceptance). ✨ How efficient is your company’s machine currently? Are stakeholders part of your product and project rationalization process? What is the impact of your product or project on the world? I’ve witnessed that the “right” decision is the one that ensures a sustainable foot print. It is also the one that maximizes profit and creates a healthy work environment. Each decision within a company has a ripple effect on every other person. Are you aligning yourself to your company’s vision and goals with each breath? Sometimes this includes a regeneration period. When you invest in making the “machine” run, it runs itself and you can redirect resources to creating “new”. Have you ever tried adapting a machine when it needs some TLC (putting a brand new modification when the machine needs cleaning, alignment, and/or replacement of wear parts)? This can be correlated to new products or packaging. A strong vision, strategy, transparency, and aligned action board is a beautiful way to create a path for creating a well oiled “machine”.
