A few weeks ago, Monica Maldonado and the Xelsior Empowerment Group had the joy of attending CelebrASIAN! This is the biggest, most important and longest-running business development conference for Pan Asian Americans, hosted by USPAACC. 🚀
The 3-day event brought together the highest order of individuals from non-profits, corporate, and government industries. Speakers shared their stories through seminars, workshops, and 1-on-1 networking opportunities. It was a great opportunity to re-connect with other founders and develop new relationships with the Pan Asian American business community. 🤝
Thank you to USPAACC for creating an incredible event that invited people to connect and build relationships, to many more! 🎯 🎊

I Won! 🚀🚀🎁🎊
Yesterday, I attended an ecosystem event focused on showcasing female founders and entrepreneurs in Sierra Leone.Upon entering the venue, I noticed a raffle stand where every participant was encouraged to dip their hand into a basket to see if they had won the grand prize.
Not particularly interested, I casually dipped my hand into the basket and hurried to meet my friend who had invited me to the event. To my surprise, he and the co-host urged me to open the paper I picked.
I never participate in raffle draws or anything of such because all the times I had don it in the past I have never won😭😂 but I just grudgingly obliged.
Lo and behold—I had won the grand prize!
I was shocked! Especially since I arrived four hours after the event started, and many people had tried before me without success. This experience taught me a few valuable lessons:
1. Embrace Unexpected Opportunities: Sometimes, the most surprising opportunities arise when we least expect them. Even if you're not initially interested, give it a try—you never know what might happen.
2. Persistence Pays Off: While many others had tried and failed, persistence and patience can eventually lead to success. Keep trying and stay hopeful.
3. Timing Isn't Everything: Even if you feel like you're late to the game, it doesn't mean you can't succeed. Your moment can come at any time, regardless of when you start.
4. Positive Attitude Matters: Keeping an open mind and a positive outlook can lead to amazing outcomes. Approach situations with optimism and be ready for pleasant surprises.
5. Celebrate Small Wins: Every achievement, big or small, is worth celebrating. Recognize and appreciate your successes, and use them as motivation for future endeavors.

Kindness and generosity, of heart and soul, are linked to various neurobiological processes in the brain, primarily involving neurotransmitters such as oxytocin, serotonin, and dopamine.
Oxytocin: Often called the "love hormone" or "bonding hormone," oxytocin plays a crucial role in social bonding, trust, and empathy. Acts of kindness, such as giving or helping others, can trigger the release of oxytocin in the brain. This hormone promotes feelings of connection and enhances social interactions.
Serotonin: Serotonin is known as the "feel-good" neurotransmitter and is associated with mood regulation and well-being. Engaging in kind and generous behaviors has been shown to increase serotonin levels, leading to a sense of satisfaction and happiness.
Dopamine: Dopamine is involved in the brain's reward system and is associated with motivation and pleasure. Acts of kindness and generosity can activate the release of dopamine, creating a positive feedback loop that reinforces these behaviors.
Endorphins: Kindness and generosity can also trigger the release of endorphins, which are natural painkillers and mood enhancers. This can contribute to the "helper's high" phenomenon, where individuals experience a sense of euphoria after performing acts of kindness.
Additionally, engaging in altruistic behaviors has been linked to reduced levels of stress hormones such as cortisol, further promoting overall well-being and psychological resilience. Overall, the neurochemistry of kindness and generosity involves a complex interplay of neurotransmitters and hormones that contribute to positive emotions, social bonding, and overall mental health.

How much better would our businesses be if we paid attention to the little people, those in most organisations who are sometimes seen but seldom heard?
A great example is the catalyst that catapulted Nando’s into the UK market.
Bruce McInroy, who worked in the central kitchen at Nando’s, approached co-founder Robbie Brozin with an idea. Instead of getting brushed aside, he was taken seriously.
“You need to meet family friends of my parents. You share similar values. If you are thinking about expanding to the UK, you should talk to them, they are South African but are there now,” McInroy told Brozin.
It was thanks to this very conversation with McInroy that Brozin set up a meeting at outlet number 3 in Savoy, ultimately leading the founders to Dick Enthoven, who made a speedy commitment to funding its growth.
As McInroy predicted, their values, passed down through generations on both sides, were strongly aligned. And, over three decades later, there is still no written agreement between the families whose association is based on trust.
Kindness is strategic. Being generous with your time, attention, and resources can open doors you didn’t even know existed. That’s why it’s my 7th Rule of Success.
