How to use colour to elevate your impact, influence & income with style. I have shared previous that I use style as a strategic tool in my business. But let me share with you how I use colour to lift my mood, boost my confidence and express myself. 💚 It isn’t a coincidence that I am wearing GREEN in all these photos 💚 Here are the reasons… I got sick just after Christmas and I was knocked for 5 weeks. My energy was depleted and was I having various tests to get to the root of it. (Happy to report I got the all clear and I’m slowly returning to myself B.C.(Before Christmas). I had a number of of events that I committed to and I didn’t want to let them down and I was really looking forward to: 🥂 Guest Speaker at Cork Simon Women’s Little Christmas luncheon for a sold out event with over 350 women. 🎤Panelist at Local Enterprise Office Cork North and West ‘Fit for Business’ event. I actually had an ultra-sound hours before hand but I was determined to make the event. I rewrote my speech in the waiting room and shared how vulnerable I felt being self employed and being UNfit for business. I shared lessons learnt & what had gotten this scary time personally and in my business. Let’s just say 90% of the room related. 👩🏻💻 Delivering a Pitch at Network Ireland Cork event. 🏆 Awards ceremony where #getinthepicture was shortlisted in the best use of Creative Marketing in the West Cork Business Awards. I wore GREEN as it is associated with the heart charka and HEALING. 💚 projects an image of stability & security (when things were very uncertain). 💚 conveys a sense of down to earthness & practicality. 💚 it’s soothing relaxing your muscles, nerves & mind. 💚 balances our energy to give a feeling of peace & harmony Use colour to elevate your mood and confidence and watch your impact, influence and income skyrocket 🚀. DM if you are ready to look and dress like the leader you are. #womeninbusiness #colourconfidence #styleitsafeeling #getinthepicture #elevateyourstyle #brandyou

Strategy and the City by Matthew Waksman// "Trends and data📊 that tell simple stories are enticing. But it’s our job✏️ as strategists and marketers not just to bring the voice of the consumer🤵 into the room at face value, but to put what we hear on the Freudian couch. Because, when we pay attention🔍 to what is missing, whether on the dance💃 floor, in the living room, or in houses of worship🛕, then we ask better questions, grow our ability to solve bigger problems, and even, start to grow ourselves." In a monthly column for Creative Salon Worldwide, Ogilvy UK's head of advertising strategy explains why it's a strategist's job to pay attention to what's missing in our lives.

As we count down to the New Year, business owners must pivot their focus to the year-end wrap-up of their business!

A Fine Bordeaux or White Claw? Ever notice how so many things in life take years to accumulate value? Take a vintage Bordeaux, for example; it doesn’t reach its peak for close to 20 years. The same goes for the hands of a skilled surgeon, steady as a rock, with wisdom etched into every line of their palms. Or entrusting your journey 36,000 ft in the air to a pilot whose logbook is as thick as a Proust novel. We're quick to applaud the value of aged wine, the deft decisiveness of an experienced medical professional, or the calm command of an aviation veteran. Yet, there’s an elephant in the room we tend to tiptoe around in advertising and marketing – the topic of ageism in the workplace. Let’s chat about that, shall we? Age and experience in the professional realm come with an unjust stigma. The assumption is that the more seasoned members of the job market are past their sell-by date in the ad tech, data-driven world, unable to sit at the table with someone raised in the digital age. Someone who, by their youth alone, is assumed to have more answers because they belong to the TikTok generation rather than the VHS generation. It’s a costly assumption. Imagine you’re up against the ropes, with a business crisis looming like a storm outside the 30th-floor conference room window, cleverly named after an English punk band or concert hall. Who would you rather have in your corner? The spry, fresh-out-of-school hopefuls, with theories as bright as new pennies? Or the seasoned pro who's weathered countless storms, who can not only bring sunshine after the rain but also predict it before the first drop falls? This isn’t a call to pass over the youthful zest of newcomers. Youth brings tremendous value and perspective. It's about striking a glorious balance, recognizing that sometimes the depth of experience that comes packaged with a few gray hairs [or no hair] might just be the secret ingredient your company desperately needs. The next time a résumé lands on your desk, with years of hard-won expertise, remember this: The candidate might not be eyeing a corner office, a fancy title, or a hefty compensation package. Maybe they simply want to roll up their sleeves, add unmatched value, and contribute to the company's growth and success that only someone with a well-worn Thomas Guide [IYKYK] navigating through life's twists and turns can envision. In the end, choosing experience isn’t just about playing it safe – it’s about investing in a proven track record. It’s about picking the brain surgeon whose hands know the rhythm of the scalpel, or the calm captain who holds steady in the face of turbulence. That’s age-old wisdom you can't put a price on. Here's to celebrating the vintage vibe of the workforce! Cheers to experience, cheers to diversity in age, and cheers to the incredible impact that only time can season. Lets Chat. #ExperienceMatters #AgeDiversity #ProfessionalWisdom #WorkplaceCulture #advertising #marketing #adtech

knowing the conventional rules - and knowing when it is “best” to break them To illustrate this post, on not using selfies to develop and promote a personal brand, I used the front cover of the book titled “Banksy: Art Breaks the Rules”, by Hettie Bingham, a hardcover edition of which one can buy for $14.07, through Amazon ( https://lnkd.in/dD2wh7-j ). On LinkedIn at least, many seem obsessed with developing and promoting their personal brand - with many on LinkedIn offering to help you do that (so that you will become rich and famous). One of the bits of advice offered by the Personal Branding specialists, gurus, consultants, advisors and experts is: illustrate every post with a stage-managed selfie - with the requisite "stage prop" (e.g., holding a coffee mug). But as Banksy has clearly demonstrated, the best way to develop and promote a Personal Brand is by NOT illustrating your posts with a selfie. The “best” (and most impactful) Personal Brands are developed and promoted by the quality of the “creator’s / originator’s” work and offerings. This is known as the “Banksy Paradigm” (i.e., example). It’s about knowing the rules – and knowing how (it is best) to break them. For example, the author of the book I used to illustrate this post, talks about “knowing the conventional rules” and “knowing when it is best to break them”. BTW, I do not illustrate my articles and posts with a selfie. #Rules #BreakingTheRules #Banksy #BanksyParadigm #HealthTourism #ht8 #ContemporaryHealthTourism #InternetCenturyHealthTourism #Constantinides #EMVIO #Health #LinkedIn #LinkedInArticles #LinkedInPosts #Tourism #Travel #Hospitality #ExCtu #ContemporaryMedicalTourism #ConventionalMedicalTourism #MedicalTourism #MedicalTourismLite #DentalTourism #SpaTourism #WellnessTourism #SportsTourism #CulinaryTourism #AccessibleTourism #AssistedResidentialTourism #Wellness #MedicalTravel #TreatmentAbroad #OutboundMedicalTourism #CriticalEye #CriticalThinking

Maxed out on time Maxed out on headspace Maxed out on energy. How do you grow a business from there? I was chatting with my hairdresser at the end of last year. She got talking about her business, how she needed to reassess because she was maxed out on capacity. She felt the only way to make more money was for her to sell more of her time doing hair and she had nothing physically left in the day. I noticed she was advertising a Xmas event and she proceeded to tell me about it. It sounded unreal! I started giving her a few tips; her poster was too vague. It’s lacked the key details she spoke to me about that would really ‘sell it’. It was also a free event, with giveaways, tutorials and complimentary drinks and nibbles! But what was the goal of this? She couldn’t sell anymore time because she is at capacity. So what was the aim? I asked her to rethink it as a revenue generator on a quarterly basis. A small ticket fee redeemable against a purchase to cement commitment to attend and value. Give it a purpose, a goal to raise awareness of the other passive services and retail products she sells. An opportunity to seek online or in person events/tutorials in the future. A fresh perspective and she is buzzing again about new ideas and ways to grow without killing herself in the process. Are you in need of some fresh revenue generating ideas? Hair cuts not mandatory.
