I believe in discovering business opportunities when everyone else looks away. Financial markets off public markets has been stranded for quite a while. Investors are hesitant on valuations as transactions are low and businesses struggle to find a way to continue an extensive growth. Hence an exit has been distant into the future, but how to navigate the current investor landscape to prepare for exit opportunities to get the wheels turning again. We look into this topic at our upcoming Feminvest event with RareWine Invest and Porsche AG in April.

Hey Champs, Last week marked the first anniversary of my business, and I took the opportunity to celebrate by visiting the Grottes de Han in Belgium. It’s a place of natural wonder, where the timeless beauty of stalagmites and stalactites serves as a powerful reminder: no success is achieved overnight. I apologize for not having the skills to fully capture this beauty with my phone’s camera, but trust me, it was breathtaking. Just like these formations have been sculpted over ages, enduring success in business is built step by step. It’s not about quick wins; it’s about creating exponential growth that withstands the test of time. Champions aren’t born in a moment; they’re shaped through dedication, persistence, and resilience, driven by a clear vision. Building a lasting, successful business demands the same approach. Think about companies like Gillette, Nike, or Mercedes-Benz. They all started small, faced their share of challenges, and yet, their strong vision and perseverance have made them enduring giants. Today, it feels like they’ve always been with us—and they will be for generations to come. If you’re ready to become a champion with your business, I’d love to help you get there. I’m offering a free 2-hour conversation to discuss your Game Plan. Just DM me to book your call. Let’s build something that lasts. Stef. #SelfLeadership #BusinessCoach #Resilience

Looking for growth? Hire GALE.

So many cool things about these organizations and this video. Love Sherwood leads with "Believing in Abilities." An organization who provides services to those with disabilities can spend alot of time on the negative which is the "disability." Sherwood believes in the potential, sometimes hidden abilities, in EVERYONE. They have found some partners who feel the same way! #marketing #believing #nonprofits #sherwood #branding #jobsearch #resume #coffee

May the 4th be with you... Can you believe it's been 25 years since we met little Anakin Skywalker in Phantom Menace? Can you also believe it's been 25 years since Moira was learning her trade at BBC Worldwide? The publishing arm responsible for massive magazine brands like Radio Times, Top Gear & BBC Gardeners World. Flashback to 1999 and Moira was just beginning her career changing journey, working with huge brands like Renault, Boots and Unilever. When asked what her favourite memory was from those times, Moira said... "I feel like I grew up when I was at the BBC as I was young and living away from home, so all my colleagues felt like family - Paul Kombou, Sarah Akhust, Avril Murray, Lorna Ko. My favourite deal was and still is the deal we secured for Renault Scenic - Scenic Days out. It ran across several of our brands and was, at the time ground-breaking as it also included sponsored bumper ads on UKTV. This had never been done before and was the first time we worked in partnership with another media owner. It was the first Multi-Media campaign the BBC had run. The client chose us time and again as they loved the collaborative way we worked with them."

🔈 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐮𝐬: 𝐒𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐆𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐢 - 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐊𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐃𝐈𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐎𝐑 - 𝐇𝐓-𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐫𝐥 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐠𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐬𝐲𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐬𝐚𝐲𝐬, “𝐘𝐄𝐒, 𝐈𝐓’𝐒 𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐄”: 𝐚 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐫𝐮𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐇𝐓-𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠’𝐬 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬? We aimed for a message that was clear and direct because we wanted to maintain the clarity and transparency that has characterized HT-Cooling since its foundation, just two years ago. My predecessor did an excellent job in this regard, which I fully support. We are simply communicating what is happening, without filters. If telling the truth is disruptive, then we undoubtedly are. 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐇𝐓-𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠’𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲? Anyone familiar with the cooling market knows the Galletti Group, whose long history speaks for itself. With Galletti we share the approach to the market so, despite having different objectives, we immediately found ourselves aligned on the guidelines. Obviously, for a company of HT-Cooling’s size, being able to count on the support of a company of this type is certainly a benefit and I would say that rather than increasing, it enriches the value of our positioning on the market. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞? Joining the group does not change the quality and content of our value proposition. In fact, it enhances them. We will continue to emphasize the importance of dialogue and listening, which, combined with the experience and know-how of our technical and sales staff, have proven to be winning arguments in the market. We clearly understand who we are and who we can become, especially now with a group like Galletti by our side. 𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐚 𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐞? Definitely «We will rock you» by Queen. An energetic song born because Queen first understood the importance of people involvement to turn a concert into an event where audience is almost more central than the performers. A point of view we share. #htcooling #coolingmadetomeasure #cooling #raffreddamento #galletti  #gallettigroup #siètuttovero #yesitstrue #futurestartstoday

Do you know why Orry was seated in the first row whereas Vikrant Massey was placed on the third at a Filmfare award? Because even though Vikrant Massey is more talented than Orry, Orry has built a strong brand for himself through marketing. Same goes for you. You may be more experienced and deserving, but your competitors are not only stealing the limelight but also the business because their marketing strategy is on point. Think about it! #NicheDominanceWizard #SocialMediaMarketing
