“Work hard, play hard!” Sounds like the motto of the winners, right? After trying it for years, I can clearly state that this is not my thing. And I was not even good at working hard and playing hard, for two reasons: 1- I did not like the idea of seeing the “play hard” part as a reward and encourgament to work hard. Particularly during the times when I did not feel like working hard. 2- I was never good at “play hard” part because it always felt like an obligation. I felt stupid that somebody else was deciding when should I have fun… and even the degree of fun “play hard”. Additionally I have realized that people working hard are the ones who complain the most. Then I decided to do the things in my own way without a specific method. I chose to work joyfully as much as I could. I chose to play lovingly as much as it felt like. And one day, I have seen the “3 Dimensions of the Peak Performance” of Tim Gallwey (and Jeffrey Lipsius who integrated it into sales) 1- Performance 2- Learning 3- Enjoyment Today, for work or for play, I pay attention to all of those three dimensions and seek the best balance. #learningforperformance #theinnergame Performance Consultants International

4th soft skill to enhance that promotion... Work Ethic: • Take responsibility for your work • Always show up and deliver on time • Always keep your commitments. • Never deflect blame on to others

In the face of being unnoticed or overlooked at work, it's important to maintain a high standard of excellence. Doing your best isn't solely about receiving recognition; it's about personal integrity and pride in your work. Your efforts contribute to your growth and the overall success of the team, even if they go unacknowledged. Persevere not because others are watching, but because you are committed to your own values and professional development. Excellence is a habit, and staying true to it, regardless of external validation, ultimately shapes your character and future opportunities.

Share an interesting learning from your work experience that elevated you to your current role. ✏️ 1. Team collaboration 2. Understanding the roles and requirements and fulfilling what the work demands, one step ahead 3. Being empathetic 4. Self reflection 5. Taking feedbacks and growing 6. Giving feedbacks and letting people also grow 7. Supporting each other

What makes a #team you want to be and stay a part of? For me, shared goals are absolutely crucial. Bonus points for reflecting on these periodically and gold star if we can document these somewhere so we know we're all on the same page ⭐ Respect. Feels obvious but trust is easily lost if you don't maintain it. I'm full of admiration for my colleagues' skills and experience, respect gives us the opportunity and comfort to share and learn from these more ❤ FUN. Learning about each other's lives in whatever way people want to share, makes me want us to smash those shared goals together and arrange more lovely opportunities to get to know each other like the one below 🍽 What are your must haves to create #teamsuccess?

You need to work super hard

This sign is a great reminder that celebrating others' successes paves the way for your own. In the professional world, it's easy to get caught up in our own goals and ambitions. But taking the time to acknowledge and celebrate the achievements of others can be incredibly beneficial. * It fosters a more positive and supportive work environment. * It shows that you're a team player who's happy to see others succeed. * It can motivate you to work harder and achieve your own goals. So next time you see someone achieve something great, take a moment to give them a shout-out. You might be surprised at how good it makes you feel. #success #motivation #teamwork #positivevibes
