🌟 Reflecting on Memories and Celebrating Achievements 🌟 One year ago today, we embarked on an incredible journey, an event that pushed boundaries, challenged us, and ultimately, led to remarkable achievements, including being a finalist in the Shopping Centre Council of Australia awards for 2023. Today, I found myself reminiscing about the amazing International Table Tennis Federation 5 day event, that saw us convert a 2,000sqm concrete shell into a world champaionship approved arena which was live streamed to over 20 countries. It reminded me of the importance of celebrating our successes, both big and small. In our fast-paced lives, it’s easy to move forward without taking a moment to acknowledge how far we’ve come. But reflecting on that event served as a powerful reminder that celebrating our achievements is not just a luxury; it’s a necessity. It’s a chance to appreciate the hard work, dedication, and collaboration that went into making those accomplishments a reality. It’s an opportunity to express gratitude to the incredible individuals who stood by us every step of the way. Moving forward, I’m committed to making celebration a more integral part of my journey. I believe we should all take a pause, look back, and cherish our accomplishments. It fuels our motivation, builds a positive mindset, and strengthens our bonds as a team. So, let’s remember to celebrate our achievements, no matter how big or small. It’s not just about looking back; it’s about powering forward with renewed energy, passion, and determination. Here’s to many more memorable events and countless reasons to celebrate together! #Achievements #Reflection #Celebration #OneYearAgo #Gratitude

We decided very early on that Excellence was going to be one of our core values at More than Equal. We discussed and debated these values at length (and if you haven’t condensed your corporate core values down to four words then try it - it is very revealing about who you are and who you want to be). You might think that excellence is something that is a universal value and is too vague to be meaningful. Not so. Remember, you have only 4 values to choose as your guiding and defining values so to include one is to exclude others. This core value has come to life in many ways. In the way that we conduct our research, in the way that we present ourselves, in the way that we execute projects - but most importantly in the way that we have recruited. The quality of the team that has been put together is a testament to this core value (and it is my good luck to be working with them!) And….not forgetting the absolute essence of Excellence that comes with our founders; Karel Komarek and David Coulthard Thanks to you all for giving up super comfortable positions to come and work at what is a small start up with a big mission.

If brands can be some of the world's most powerful narratives, then the #Olympics must be one of the world’s most powerful brands.   Throughout modern history, the games have been a signal for optimism, progress and the human spirit. Through the course of its history, the brand has united people around a love of athletic prowess, culture, and the arts.   Today, the Olympics transcends sports entertainment, actively contributing to global solutions through initiatives promoting sustainability, inclusivity, and community engagement. That’s why, in this year’s #BestGlobalBrands report, Interbrand pays homage to the Olympics’ commitment to building a better world through sport by delivering on the extraordinary, encouraging effort, preserving human dignity, and contributing to global harmony.   It was fascinating to learn about what it takes to build brand leadership with the Managing Director of the International Olympic Committee – IOC, Anne-Sophie Voumard. In this journey, partnerships with private companies enhance the potential of impact through meaningful initiatives that drive positive change.    You’ll find the full interview in Interbrand’s 2023 Best Global Brands report: https://lnkd.in/dbAxv27F #PlayArena #BestGlobalBrands #Olympics #BGB2023 #BrandLeadership

#ParisOlympicCalling: From Corporate Cubicles to Olympic Torch Bearer   Dreaming of watching the Olympics? How about becoming a part of it? Well, that's precisely what happened to me! As the world gears up for the grand spectacle of the Olympics 2024 in Paris, Bridgestone, a proud sponsor, opened the doors to an extraordinary opportunity within its own ranks.   An internal competition spanning across Europe, the Middle East, India, and Africa, arranged by none other than my company, #Bridgestone. The challenge? Nominate a colleague, manager, or mentor who has been a guiding light in your career journey. Little did I know, that this seemingly ordinary act of appreciation would catapult me into the spotlight as a torchbearer for the Paris Olympics 2024!   They say the journey to success is paved with selfless acts and unwavering support. My story is a testament to just that. Countless moments spent uplifting and empowering my colleagues, without expecting anything in return, have now culminated in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.   Gratitude floods my heart as I extend a heartfelt thanks to every colleague who believed in me, who saw beyond the confines of our workplace and envisioned me carrying the Olympic torch through the streets of Paris. This victory is ours to cherish!   As I embark on this exhilarating journey, I'm reminded of invaluable lessons learned along the way. Here are a few nuggets of wisdom I'd like to share with aspiring professionals:   1) Support your colleagues relentlessly, for in their success lies your own triumph. 2) Foster collaboration across departments to broaden your horizons and expand your network. 3) Seize every opportunity to showcase your skills and talents through company-sponsored competitions or others; you never know where they might lead!   Join me as I carry the torch of inspiration from the corporate corridors of Bridgestone India to the global stage of the Paris Olympics 2024.

On Friday, as part of Annual Business Meeting, we heard from an incredible guest speaker, Veronica Shanti Pereira. Shanti, a track and field superstar, the fastest woman in Asia, and now Olympian, shared with us her recipe for a success race: 1) 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: She trained for months, with the guidance of a coach - twice a day with a strict diet. 2) 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: Together they developed a race plan for the day of the race. 3) 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭: Before the race she had already decided that she was going to win. 4) 𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐞: She executed her plan to perfection. 5) 𝐖𝐢𝐧: She won. 𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐟𝐭 𝐮𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐠 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲: 💥 “Focus on what you can control” 💥 “Love what you do” 💥 “Big Goals require Big Commitment” #inspiration #goals #planningforsuccess #singapore

What a fantastic afternoon full of insights and learnings. Great content from all speakers, especially an amazing discussion between Angela Tangas Dentsu's UKI CEO and William John from Santander. Loved the conversation with #dentsu CMO Azlan Raj, Neil Robinson from Salesforce and Pauline Miller on "Knowing your Customer". Neil made some great points, especially one basic one...simply "Listen", be curious and how important implicit vs explicit data is. Finally, Mark Foster, GB Olympian and 8x World Champion, gave an incredible speech on developing a winning mindset. Loved his "E + R=O" framework - Experience + Reaction = Outcome. If you experience something negative, how you react (and the speed of that reaction) leads to an outcome. You can decide if that outcome is positive or negative. Great event. #dentsu #seicho #merkle
