A week ago I started my Slush journey by Group Lead onboarding. 💡 We learned many essential things about recruiting and building our own volunteer teams; how to spot potential, building diverse teams and why diversity is important & how to communicate with the applicants. – I’ve never done any recruitment before, so this was truly something new (but definitely interesting) for me. ☕️ Today we had our first team meeting with other customer success Group Leads. And as do we know: Finnish people really do love their coffee, so what else would’ve been a better place for a meet than a café? We had some great discussions and shared our tips & worries, what came to recruiting the volunteers or the event in general. ✨ I hope that this whole experience will teach me much more about leadership and build up my confidence. I don’t (yet) consider myself as someone, who can call themselves a leader, even though I’ve been tutoring and working as a student active for a few years. That’s why I’m really looking forward to upcoming leadership events, from which I hopefully get good supplies for the future. Even though my original role as a Group Lead got little spices (as I like to call the changes) and I didn’t experience the recruitment & building my own team -phases, I’m more than excited about upcoming fall. My mentality with Slush was (and still is!!) that ”Don’t pass any opportunities!” – And this time I surely won’t. Really looking forward what this Slush fall has in store! Super excited to meet you all at Slush 2023! 🫶🏻 P.S. It’s only about 2 months until SLUSH!!! Stay tuned for updates! 🤩 #volunteering #customersuccess #slush23

Three reasons why I love working with Pitcha Sillapasuwan our Southeast Asia Regional Lead and Content Marketing Manager. 1. Super reliable I learned the beauty of delegation owing to her reliability. 2. Analytical mind Give her any research or management task. She’ll get you hooked to her data-backed report with brilliant local insights or a granular Gantt chart of a tactically dissected project. 3. Aligned with Culture Flipper’s mission She decodes culture beyond language (proves to the world that we, cursed impractical minds from Humanities and Arts backgrounds, can make it in business because we deeply understand humans).

What does this picture say about Bolt culture, and why did the honey badger become the face of it? 🚀 I’ve posted a couple of job opportunities here lately, so today I wanted to touch on something that, based on my experience, is particularly important when choosing our work environment: company culture. 👩💻 Corporate culture is something that all organizations like to think they have, but only some truly embody. It's because it's not about the values we declare and hang on the walls - it’s about the principles people really live by. And here comes the honey badger - the symbol of Bolt culture and, reputedly, the most fearless animal in the world. 💪 Over the last decade, I’ve noticed two types of corporate cultures and leadership styles: fearful and fearless. In some organizations, fear still seems to be a management tool. But the thing is, you can’t expect your people to be fearless towards the competition or business challenges while being fearful towards you and the organization. Overcoming business challenges requires a mindset of courage, which, in turn, takes empowerment, consistency, and other honey badgers to cheer for you. 🧠 So, what are the things that can help you build a strong culture and make your teams fearless? 1️⃣ Start with clarity – Know what the most important values are for you and simply tell your people about them. Include qualities like ownership, educated decisions, and calculated risks, which enhance the experimentation and learning curve. At Bolt, we operate with 10 easy principles that help us lead and make decisions daily. Everyone knows them. 2️⃣ Add context – Ensure your teams understand both the why and the impact. And then, be open to having a conversation about it or being challenged. Yes, having fearless teams means that as a manager you’ll face a regular feedback loop, which is great. 3️⃣ Finish with consistency – Follow the principles and lead by example, with no exceptions. Consistency is the glue that holds everything together long-term. Slipping here takes you back to the starting point. P.S. I took this picture last year during the annual Bolt Summer Summit, and I kept it because it’s a great representation of the culture we embrace at Bolt. And, since having fun is yet another principle we consistency follow, stay tuned, as we're just getting ready for the 2024 Summer Summit edition. 🌅 #bolt #corporateculture #mindsetofcourage #teamempowerment #leadership

Day 1 of strategy talks is a wrap! 🚀 Had some awesome brainstorms with the recruitment and training team combined. Now, we're off to grab dinner together.

As someone who orchestrates corporate retreats, I've seen firsthand how powerful these events can be in aligning a company's vision with its culture. Our latest post at Campfire Company explores practical strategies to effectively bridge this gap. From my experience, the key is integrating core values into every aspect of the event, making sure every detail speaks to the company's identity.

📣 FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER: ON-DEMAND Managing people effectively, fostering strong communication, and enabling team members to perform at their best can often seem like an insurmountable challenge. It's easy to feel like a supervisor rather than a leader, which is ultimately counterproductive. Peter Melby, CRO of New Charter Technologies and Greystone Technology Founder (DBJ 40 Under 40, ColoradoBiz Top CEO), shares how you can break free of the babysitter's club and facilitate authentic communication across your organization in this on-demand presentation!

Here is my second #satire, published in The Daily Star. This one is about #corporateculture. #Culture is one of an organization's most crucial driving elements, yet it is also one of the most overlooked roles. When discussing innovation, change, values, or collaboration, everyone appears to be an expert on corporate culture. However, when you see them, all you will know is the culture of pleasing the boss. Saying, "Yes, Sir," is the simplest method. It's time to take a closer look at what we value in our workplaces and how we can create a culture that fosters success. Check out the full article for a satirical yet thought-provoking take on corporate culture.

Poppulo’s SKO is officially a wrap! There is nothing more motivating than gathering together to align on our strategies for the upcoming year and celebrate the successes of the last. This year, with it being in person, seeing people IRL and being a part of a growing global footprint left me with some thoughts: - In person engagements are not going away. - Communications are more important than ever. - Transparency and consistent engagement with your team in all forums lends itself to a more engaged and educated workforce. - The impact that you can drive with one communication channel is always outdone by meeting folks where they are at and continuing to drive a message home through multiple channels. - We do some cool stuff for employees, leaders, companies, travelers and guests! I just had to say it! ;) We did some amazing things last year and I cannot wait to see what this new year will bring! #poppulo #sko #employeecommunications #employeeengagement #guestexperience
