Four lessons learnt in four years 💡 As we celebrate our 4th birthday today, we’re reflecting on some key lessons that have guided our success: 🧍♀️Prioritise your team and suppliers: Treat your staff and suppliers like your most valued clients. Celebrate small wins, prioritise mental health, and invest in professional growth. A strong team is the foundation of any thriving business. 🚶♀️Know when to walk away: As a small business, it may feel counterintuitive to turn down work. However, if there’s no mutual respect or a client is making your job unnecessarily difficult, it’s better to part ways. Your team’s worth is undeniable—you hired them for a reason. 👑 Value your worth: In the early days, it’s tempting to take every opportunity - but don’t undersell yourself. Be selective and confident in the value that you bring. 💪 Maintain strong relationships: While it’s not always possible to avoid burning bridges, it’s crucial to nurture the relationships that matter. Word of mouth is a powerful tool, and our growth has been fueled by the recommendations of partners, clients, and suppliers. Thank you for being a part of our journey and here’s to what the next four years may bring 💫 Kirsten Samantha Roos | Samantha Thomas | Lavina Naidoo | T.Y Hlangwane

Gratitude isn’t just for the long tenured —it's a daily business practice that brings joy. Izaic W. your gratitude for the new hire is amazing! If someone shows up and is welcomed with joy into an organization, the likelihood of that person engaging, showing up and staying increases. I hope anyone thinking about how to bring more joy to the workplace is putting - "Find more ways to express my gratitude" on their to-do list everyday!

Several weeks ago our Downing Team started a Friday morning off together as we do a handful of times throughout the year. Rarely are we not missing at least one, but it continues to be a great space to simply come together, spend time together, learn about continued efforts being made to make us better, and hone in on specific challenges (or as I like to refer to them....opportunities!) we're faced with in the moment and what's yet to be figured out. On that particular Friday I took them through a barrage of teambuilding exercises. I grouped them and gave them a task with very little instruction or time to understand it before making them complete it. I paired them and made them build a paper airplane with their non-dominant hands and didn't care who's flew the farthest. I ran them through ripping a piece of paper exactly as I did in 5 steps and 8 seconds flat without stopping to show them the last step one more time. None of these exercises were about the end result. They were all about identifying ways we lack in our abilities to effectively communicate with one another in the rapid fire world we live in and how we react to it. I saw frustration, I heard nervous laughter, I witnessed some SO competitive, and some who didn't even try. It's funny how all of it shows up in so many interactions we have... all the time... at work... at home... in this relationship... and that one too... I also saw people helping one another, some slowing themselves down so the group could go faster. I heard people encouraging others, and celebrating together. I saw people being the best versions of themselves and it encouraged me! As Chief People Officer at Downing, I get to be focused on our people. I get to spend the time to understand them individually as professionals and more importantly, humans so that as our Team of 49 is headed in that many different directions, they can feel supported. Each one unique and a specific part of the whole. It's weeks later and I'm still thinking about what our Team did that morning. It's time to create more Friday morning opportunities like this and watch as the responsibility we have to each other becomes our biggest focus and factor of true success! #TeamDowning

🎄 This year, No Bounds Digital is breaking the trend towards smaller and low key corporate Christmas parties with one that promises to be our most memorable yet tomorrow. We're hosting it at Ambar (👋 Street Guys Hospitality) complete with a Secret Santa gift exchange. Why go big? As a fully remote and multinational team, it's not everyday that we get to spend time together in person, and when we do, it's an opportunity to celebrate. 🤝 Team Bonding: Nothing beats the laughter and shared stories when we're all in one place. 🌟 Special Occasions: Our gatherings are rare, making them much more special. 🎉 Celebrating Wins: We toast to our successes and the hard work of our team. Being remote makes these moments of togetherness all the more important. It's a chance to reinforce our bonds and celebrate what we have accomplished together. So, here's to coming together and raising a glass to the year that was and the year to come! #RemoteWork #TeamCelebration #ChristmasParty
