I heard Dame Sarah Storey’s incredible story of winning gold on Radio 4 this morning. Clare Balding, who was described as "leading the coverage of the Paralympics," quickly corrected that description—she shone a light on her team, emphasising the talent we don’t often see. For example, those signing to her co-host and how differing talents in the broader team contribute to new thinking. It was a reminder that even the best performances rely on the collective effort of others. True professionals recognise that their finest work happens with the support of a great team. As I stand at the Mall Galleries today, exhibiting my photography, I’m reminded that this moment wasn’t achieved alone. From the framers to the organisers, the gallery staff, and my mentors and supporters, everyone behind the scenes has played an essential part in bringing this exhibition to life. In business, as in photography or professional speaking, success is rarely the result of a single person’s effort. By acknowledging the contributions of those around us, we inspire loyalty and elevate the quality of the work. When everyone feels valued, they bring their best performance, and that energy drives success for all. It's crucial to understand the consequences of overlooking the contributions of our team members. Failing to acknowledge their efforts leads to disengagement, missed opportunities, and a decline in trust. A thriving business, like a masterpiece, requires every detail, every effort, and every team member working in harmony. Each is a vital part of this puzzle; without their contributions, even the brightest stars struggle to shine. Masters shine the light on those who make what they do possible. Like Clare Balding, they don't allow the limelight to pool only around them; they turn every spotlight into a floodlight. #Collaboration #Teamwork #Exhibition #BusinessLessons #PhotographyExhibition #ProfessionalSpeaking #mallgalleries

The trick to being a good photographer is: Always be prepared for the worst 💦 Even if the worst is a 5’2” tennis player pouring a gallon of water on your head. 🌊 #REphotographers #REphotography #REmediacompany #REmediacompanies #realestatephotography #pixlmob #realestatephotographers #realestateeditors #realestatemediacompanies

🌟 Have you been watching the Olympics? 🌟 The games are filled with incredible stories of courage, resilience, and overcoming obstacles to reach the pinnacle of athletic achievement: becoming an Olympic medalist. As I watch, I'm always struck by the professional photographers 📸 vying for that one epic image that captures an athlete's moment of glory. It's a powerful reminder of how much we cherish capturing significant moments in life. We often hire professional photographers for weddings or other major milestones to ensure we remember those special days. Just like the Olympics, these moments are rare and precious. The Olympics happen every four years, making each event feel special and unique. Most athletes only get one or two chances to compete, making their achievements even more notable. What events in your family happen regularly or sporadically that make you think, "I need to take pictures to remember this moment"? 📷✨ Let's celebrate and preserve these moments that make our lives extraordinary! #Olympics #FamilyMemories #PhotosStoriesGenerations #PhotoManagement #LifeMilestones

How do you create a photographic portrait that is truly collaborative?. That goes deeper to tell a story few see. How powerful is photography? I would really love it if you take a look at this beautiful short film ( 7 mins) made by the brilliant Nikon Europe and the Beyond Content team, of the journey Heather Fisher and I made to tell her story with power and truth. https://lnkd.in/eTE_X2U2

Great copywriting is the ability to say so much in so few words. Being able to do it in two words and say something so well, with a smile, is a real skill. Here is a prime example. Bravo to the creators of this. #copywriting #creativity #advertising
