What better way to celebrate Easter than to have our very own Easter egg hunt? 🔎 🐤 The whole team paused work to take part in the hunt, which involved searching the office for a cream egg with their name on it, after which they were rewarded with a bigger chocolate egg. 🍫 Some took longer than others to find theirs but, in the end, there were chocolatey smiles all around. 😋 #easter #team #leadgeneration #digitalmarketing

𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗼𝗻𝘂𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝘆! 🍩 Today is the perfect excuse to take a little break and savor these delicious treats. Did you know? Donuts have a fascinating history: ⦾ Dutch settlers brought the first donuts to New York, calling them "olykoeks" or oily cakes. ⦾ Early donuts didn’t have holes, they were simply fried dough. ⦾ In geometry, the shape of a donut is called a Torus. ⦾ A staggering 10 billion donuts are sold annually in the United States! Remember, happy #employees mean happy #customers and successful #projects. Let's celebrate with a donut (or two)! 😉 #employerbranding #happyemployees

A brilliant article!

Employee appreciation is crucial to business growth but also means so much on a human level.

🧐🧐You might be concerned about how others perceive you. Remember, your passion is the key to unlocking any door, while your skills keep it open. Passion comes first, and skills follow, but both are essential for success. Below is content from book of “unreasonable hospitality“: Every week, the general managers and chefs of USHG met around the big table in the boardroom at the offices in Union Square. At the end of the meeting, everyone would share their pet projects, and while I was the youngest person in the room, I was so excited about everything we were doing at MoMA, I talked more than anyone else there: "Guys, we got this amazing matte-black BUNN coffeemaker!" "I'm throwing a company-wide competition for best barista. Send your team, because I convinced a coffee company to donate a trip to Italy as a prize!" "You guys have to hear about this gelato cart— seriously, have you ever seen anything as perfect as this tiny blue spoon?" Daniel was probably irritated by how much I talked in those meetings. but he could sense a passion that made him think I might be a good match for the task ahead - the new GM for the new project. Counting on your passion, keep sharpening your skills! #unreasonablehospitality #passionfirst #skillschallenge

Storytime: When I was 24 years old, I spent four years trying to open a Brewery with a couple of my best friends. It failed to get off the ground. Four years. Down the drain. We put our hard-earned money into the project. Shed blood, sweat, and tears (minus the blood). Countless ups and downs. And no Brewery to show for it. Zero revenue earned. No customers served. Zero pints of delicious beer drank. Dream crushed. Ok, end of sob story. While my Brewery never came to fruition, several lessons were learned from that adventure. Here are a few: 1. Be sure to have an excellent support system when you're going into business for yourself. 2. Have more money in reserves than you initially planned for. Seriously, if you have access to extra capital, you might need it. 3. Improve your selling and persuasion skills. You might think you're good now, but you aren't even close to being as good as you NEED to be. Get better. 4. Understand what you're signing up for. It's not all sunshine and rainbows. It will be a TON of hard work and sacrifice. I'm forever grateful for my failed Brewery. Why? Because I learn more from my losses than my wins. Anyone out there have a failed business story? #Business #failure #inspiration #lifelessons

Inspiring to spend the evening with tech-forward COOs, sharing commonalities in ways of thinking and experiences. Including, it turns out, walking fast. Interested to hear what unique value businesses find in a COO role? In an era of rapid technological and process transformation, it can be powerful and can also take many forms. #chiefoperatingofficer #coo
