The Power of Coming Together Last week, I had the privilege of being in Amsterdam, surrounded by remarkable leaders from across the teams. Every conversation was an opportunity to learn, share stories, and grow. At Highberg, we’ve been steadily building capabilities over the years, and this gathering reminded me why we are stronger together. The highlight of my week? Attending the 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐠 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥, where over 400 professionals gathered from all corners of the Europe. As a management team, we reflected on market trends and strategized for the future. But the best part wasn’t just the work—it was the human connection. 🙌 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬: In today’s digital age, real connections are more valuable than ever. Eye contact, shared laughter, spontaneous conversations—these moments create bonds that emails and online calls simply can’t. When we come together, we don’t just exchange ideas, we amplify them. 🌀 𝐅𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐬 & 𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 serve a bigger purpose than we realize. They remind us to pause, reflect, and celebrate our collective journey. At the Highberg Festival, it wasn’t just about work—it was about celebrating our 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐰𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐠𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲. Oh, and let’s not forget the fun! From thought-provoking discussions to full-on excitement—I even joined a group performing the 𝐇𝐚𝐤𝐚, an unforgettable moment that symbolized unity and strength. It reminded me how crucial it is to embrace the spirit of play in 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤. 𝐀 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲: No matter how busy we are, there’s real strength in knowing when to pause, reflect, and celebrate the people around us. 💡 As leaders, it's easy to focus solely on the future growth, but moments of connection are what truly transform us—individually and collectively. Tagging the incredible leaders who made this experience so special: Han Driessen, Niels Groen, Eelco Rustenburg, Miranda Goossens, Walter Lutz, Gido van Puijenbroek, Irma Doze, Ralph Hofman, Koen Harbers, Samantha Rosich, Florence Colonne, Kimberley Boot and many more.

We've been messing around as a studio and wanted to share some fun bits with you all. For us, it's about showing the process as much as the perfect. Collaboration is one of our key tenets that allows us to create bold brands. It's not just about a 'ta-da' moment in our projects, it's about thought-provoking conversations, no-ego debates, and co-creating greatness. Check out a snippet of our exploration below - what do you think?

True leadership shines through adaptability, evolving with every challenge and opportunity. At Inventya, we recognise the importance of staff days in fostering collaboration 🤝 and building stronger connections 🔗. These gatherings are essential for bringing colleagues together, enabling the sharing of ideas 💡, celebrating achievements 🎉, and cultivating a deeper sense of unity 🤍. By focusing on team building, we create an environment where creativity flourishes ✨, communication strengthens 📢, and everyone feels empowered to contribute to our shared goals 🎯. These days are vital in reinforcing the foundation of our success and driving future growth 📈. Here are the standout moments of the day: A key highlight was the introduction of Maxine Adam, who has recently joined Inventya’s board as a Non-Executive Director. Many of us were already familiar with her influential work as Deputy Director for Business Growth at Innovate UK, and her address more than met our expectations 👏. Maxine spoke with great admiration for the work being done at Inventya, and her warm, engaging manner exemplified true leadership 🌟. She shared how deeply Inventya’s mission and values resonate with her, which is why she chose to join the board. The team-building exercise brought a playful yet competitive spirit to the day as we embraced the challenge of constructing the tallest tower 🏗️ using pasta, marshmallows, and tape. However, the true lesson wasn’t in the height of the towers—it lay in the strength of the foundations. In the end, only one team’s tower stood tall, underscoring the fact that, just like in our work, solid teamwork is the key to success 🏆. We closed the day with a heartfelt show-and-tell session 💬, where colleagues shared personal items that revealed hidden talents 🎨 and unique histories 📜. From cherished family heirlooms to childhood newspaper features, it was clear that we are a team full of remarkable individuals, each with a story worth sharing 📖. As the day came to an end, one message resonated: Inventya isn’t just a company striving for professional excellence. We are building a future rooted in inclusion, diversity 🌍, and personal growth 🌱. Together, we are not only constructing towers but also laying the foundations for lasting innovation 💡 and connection 💫. #TeamBuilding #StrongerTogether #CollaborativeSuccess #BuildingConnections #EmpoweringGrowth

This post from Leadership First resonates so much with my little team. Our team isn't just that small group of people who work at the same time in the same place. All of us are so different, in terms of cultural backgrounds, educational backgrounds, how we were raised, hobbies, interests, etc. We definitely are not equal on experience, talents, education, knowledge. However, we are passionate about what we do and how we do our work to ensure amazing outcomes. We are committed to work cohesively to achieve our goals. We are equal in our commitment. We respect each other, we care about one another, and to top it of, we trust each other. TRUST is something that binds us together, as a team. In our line of work, it would be quite difficult to work together if we don't trust each other. The harmonious presentation of festivals and events for event attendees is the result of trust. Is "trust" your number one thing that binds your team? Or is it something else in your case?

Recently, Erika attended the International Communications & Tech Conference in the beautiful Baltics. A key theme that resonated throughout the event was the importance of lifting each other up and creating value together. Check out her post below to learn more about her experience!

Collaboration is a powerful force that has the potential to propel us much further than competition and comparison ever could. When we choose to work together, we tap into the collective wisdom and strengths of our team, creating a synergy that is greater than the sum of its parts. By choosing collaboration over competition and comparison, we can unlock our collective potential, foster innovation, and achieve greater success together.
