You have to celebrate your wins! Out of office is on, holiday notes have been sent out and I have logged off, but time for one last semi-work related post for 2023. The picture (censored slightly) below is our team's "deal bell". We realised that sometimes you are so quick to move to the next deal that you don't take time to celebrate the deal you have just completed. The deal bell reminds people how important is to take time to celebrate a win even if it's only 30 seconds. It sounds corny, but every time someone does a deal, they ring the bell (a couple of times if it was a tough deal) and the team around give out a loud cheer. It takes less than a minute, but everyone (including the person ringing the bell) takes time to celebrate the win before we move on to the next one and we celebrate it as a team. This is just a very small work related example of creating that space to give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done. It applies to every aspect of life too though. Going into 2024, I would encourage everyone, who doesn't already do it, to try and create that space at work or in life generally to celebrate a win and not to let the moment pass before you move on to tackle your next goal.

What makes a company truly great to work with? Is it just about skills and results—or could it be something more? Let me challenge your thinking: Look for a team that genuinely enjoys working together, that knows how to work hard and have fun. At Blue Compass, we believe in that balance. Every year, we break into smaller teams to compete, collaborate, and just have fun together during our Blue Circle Games—an afternoon filled with food, drinks, and activities that test our problem-solving, teamwork, and even our competitive edge. Last Friday’s event was no exception. I had the honor of inviting some friends and old colleagues to help out, and they all walked away with the same impression: our team is connected, collaborative, and truly enjoys one another’s company. It's something you can feel, whether it’s in a game or at work. Great weather, great competition, great teamwork—and most of all, great relationships. When choosing a partner or vendor, don’t overlook the value of a team that loves working together. That’s what makes a company stand out.

Get out of the heat, grab a cold drink, and take a trip down memory lane with me. Along the way we can talk about your accounting needs if you’d like 🙂 Bridgepoint Consulting

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

I want to take a moment to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the amazing sponsor, #Commsworld, for their support. I couldn't be prouder of this young team and all they've accomplished this season! Watching these young footballers grow and excel on the field has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Coaching them provides a wonderful escape from the daily grind of life and work, and it's a joy I cherish. Interestingly, coaching football has many similarities that apply directly to my professional life. Here are a few: #Teamwork Success in football, as in business, relies on effective teamwork. Coaching has reinforced the importance of collaboration, communication, and working towards a shared goal. #Builing Positivity: Whether on the field or in the office, frosting a positive environment is crucial. Encouragement and support help’s build confidence and drives success. #Grit & Determination: The resilience and determination these young players show is truly inspiring. Their ability to persevere through challenges reminds me that with grit, we can overcome any obstacle, both in sports and in our careers. Coaching these amazing kids has been a source of great joy and inspiration. Here’s to many more victories on and off the field! ⚽️🙌 #YouthFootball #CoachingLife #Teamwork #Positivity #Grit #LifeLessons #ProudCoach

What are we celebrating you ask? Just another day in the office. 😉 Okay, so maybe we're about to celebrate the big 1-0 next month, but only because of the dream team you see here. Here's to another 10 years of getting to work with the most phenomenal people you'll ever find. 🥂 #eventplanners #meettheteam #behindthescenes #eventplanning

It's Friday and we are on our way to celebrate St. Patrick's Weekend, and maybe even find that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.🌈 Happy St. Patrick's Day, everyone! 🍀 . . . #StPatricksDay #MarketingAgency #NickelBronx #DigitalMarketingVirginia #SocialMedia #DigitalMarketing

As much as I love to celebrate St. Patricks Day and we've all heard the Luck of the Irish☘️, I believe we need more than luck to succeed. In most goals, fitness, financial, sales we start with an ideal outcome. From there we create daily activities that bridge the gap 🌉over time between current and future state. The daily commitments are what moves the needle. Can we experience a bit of luck? Sure. Difficult stakeholders retire, change organization, deal criteria changes, competition doesn't meet minimum requirements. Many of these happened to me in my career. ✅ Although, they may help, we can't bet on these. We can however bet on ourselves.💪 So as much as I would like some leprechauns helping out with my deal, I think I will stick with the process and automate the daily activities to guarantee my success. Happy St. Patrick’s Day! #salesprocess #dailyactivities #bridgethegap #luckoftheirish #sales
