ONE MORE FOR THE SUMMER — NEWSLETTER Summer 2024, hit different!   Professionally, it came in waves. There were several highs and lows. Neither one too far from home base and equally as meaningful as they were learning moments.   Personally, it was emotional (in a good way). More on that later.   For now, I wanted to take pause in expressing gratitude as I reflect on another eventful and FUN summer — and share a few key moments and highlights that reflect the mission of TE&Co. to get people excited and in the know about what YOU are working on. Read the full recap! https://lnkd.in/gR5D3tGP

Labor Day is just 94 days away! As we dive into a fast-paced, demanding summer filled with professional challenges, it's crucial for organizations to maintain a clear vision. Does your team understand the what and the why behind your organization's mission? Everyone needs to know their role to achieve success by summer's end. Now is the time to create and communicate your organization's vision. And remember, reinforce it every Monday morning to keep everyone aligned and motivated. https://lnkd.in/emCHbvFx

Summertime slowdown...where? On the drive home from Costco a few days ago, I was reflecting on all the events and outings I'd been on in the last 3 weeks. I wondered what proportion of those were career-related, and so I figured I'd share a quick summary below. I was surprised to see that the split was relatively equal between my 3 categories of career (networking & development), social (outings with or initiated by friends) and personal (things my partner and I put on the agenda). 📊 If I was more inclined, I might look at assigning 'level of effort' ratings to each, to see which one had the most drain on my relatively introverted brain; and duration, to see where my time was spent the most. Alternatively, I could look at the time series overall to determine where the peaks and valleys of my events were. 🤷♀️ The chart does little to show the nuance within days, the side of desk tasks or the everyday errands; but it was fun to consider how I maintain a work-life balance, and made me proud of all the time I put toward professional development and nurturing relationships. 🗝 What's your split? 🤔

Today I had the opportunity to attend an event hosted by Futures Friends. One of the topics that came up was the concept of Rewarding Retail and the potential of retail workers providing head office with first-hand insights into the day-to-day life in the store. The discussion also considered the empowerment of retail workers, engaging them and showing both on a personal and business level the importance of staff working directly with customers. Fellow retail friends, how do you feel about this? Do you feel heard by your company? Do you feel your input is taken into account? Do you feel head office decisions are sometimes disconnected from the reality in the store? In my experience in different retail environments, I feel that the opinions of sales assistants are often not taken into account, resulting in many lost opportunities. I would venture to say companies spend more on mystery shopper feedback and other tools than on actually listening to their employees.

Have you ever found your true calling in the most unexpected places? For CEO John Gualtieri, he thought accounting was his path, until one retail job changed everything. In the work that we do, many people starting in their careers want to know what it takes to be successful. Our paths to fulfilment often take unexpected turns. What can we learn from embracing unconventional opportunities that may reshape our professional journeys in profound ways? I had the chance to ask John Gualtieri, CEO of Kmart and Target, about his journey, and it was incredibly insightful. No matter where you are in your career, John’s words can really be valuable. Here is a 24-second video. The link to his full interview is in the comments below. #Rezilium #CareerGrowth #PersonalDevelopment

It's so important in place marketing to take the time to involve your stakeholders and to bring the community along. Too often do we see people wanting to launch a brand, a website, a campaign quickly with limited research and feedback....and almost always when they do that, something comes back to bite them. This is also coming from someone who likes to activate, so I get the need for speed, but sometimes slowing down reaps larger rewards (which is probably a good motto for not just place marketing, but life in general;). #econdev #economicdevelopment
