#Clarity is kindness! ✨ This has been a theme for us over the last few weeks. In particular, the clarity on the intention and spirit of our Walk & Talk community here in #Singapore One of our favorite books by Priya Parker 'The Art of Gathering' emphasizes the importance of having a clear purpose when gathering a group of people. She says that understanding why you are gathering and what you hope to achieve ensures that the event is meaningful and impactful for everyone involved. She advocates for specificity and intentionality to create a truly memorable and effective gathering. 🙌 So, we reflected on this a lot and came up with these 3 key principles that guide our Walk & Talk sessions: 1️⃣ Connect, not transact: This community is about reconnecting with the outdoors and forming genuine connections with those you walk with. This is a space for deep connection rather than transactions, pitching or hard selling of products and services. 2️⃣ Come as you are: The Walk & Talk experience strives to create an environment where everyone can show up as their genuine selves. We are not in formal office attire but dressed casually and appropriately to be outside with the natural elements. We are not here with job titles but as we are in our everyday lives. This way of connecting avoids the confining and stiff nature of more structured and traditional events or meetups. 3️⃣ Respect and Explore: Enjoy and respect the natural setting that fosters calmness, encourages easier conversation, and leads to deeper connections with others. Let your #Curiosity guide you as you notice the sights, sounds, and smells of nature. Be mindful of the wildlife around you and treat the natural landscape with respect. We lead a community and with it comes the responsibility of making sure everyone understands the environment that we would like to create together. 🌱 One new walker & talker shared her reasons for joining: "I'm coming to share and meet new folks outside of my usual work environment!"💚 👉 If you would like to join us, please click on the link for the schedule and to sign up.

🌟 Reflecting on the Month of Love: What Have You Learned? 💖 As we bid adieu to February, a month filled with love and warmth, it's a perfect time to pause and reflect. In the hustle and bustle of our professional lives, we often overlook the significance of the relationships we cultivate in the workplace. After all, we spend a significant portion of our waking hours with our colleagues, forging bonds that often transcend mere professional affiliations. So, as we close this chapter, I'm curious: What have you learned about your colleagues this month? What insights have you gained about their passions, their quirks, their dreams? In a world where time is our most precious commodity, investing in understanding those we work alongside can yield invaluable returns. Moreover, I'm eager to hear about how your office celebrated the month of love! Did you host team-building events, share heartfelt gestures, or perhaps embark on projects that fostered a sense of camaraderie and unity? Share your stories, your photos, your moments of connection. Let's celebrate not just the love in our personal lives but also the love and appreciation we have for our professional communities. Together, let's continue to nurture relationships, spread kindness, and build workplaces where every individual feels valued and supported. Here's to a month filled with love, laughter, and meaningful connections! 💼🌹 #MonthOfLove #WorkplaceConnections #SpreadKindness #RetroRabbit 

What's your love language? We show/give love best via Acts of Service (of course) and we receive love best via Words of Affirmation! Speaking of Words of Affirmation, I tear up a little every time a client leaves little love notes on social media. Coming from a property management background where the work is, quite frankly, "thankless" (let's be real, no one is calling their landlord saying 'hey thanks for keeping the lights on'...), it warms my heart seeing and hearing the joy people exude at one of my events. It's what fuels my creative fire! "Thank you SO much for helping execute my vision and keep the party on track all night long! I will never throw a party without calling you! I was able to enjoy a party for the first time ever! I can't thank you enough!" - Jenn Y. (private event client) "You make us better." - Miranda C. (corporate event client) "Special thanks to [Meredith] for the organization of the event, adding a ton of value to the experience." - Jorvic V. (corporate event client) "Above and beyond! You truly went above and beyond to make my daughter's birthday so special. Wow!" - Amy L. (private event client) "We couldn't have done it without you!" - Kathryn B.

Reflecting on my mixed experiences with social media, I’m eager to make it more positive and purposeful. I hope to inspire the community to connect on a deeper level—one that learns and grows together.  🙌 Each week, I’ll post a 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. It's a conversation starter designed to engage connections, learn about each other, and strengthen our bonds. I invite you to participate, share your stories, and have fun! Let's dive into this week's question: ⭐ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸? Can you integrate this passion into your work and add a dash of joy to your day? 😉 Personally, I’m passionate about food and dining! Discovering other colleagues who share these interests gives me a reason to move our meeting from the office to a vibrant restaurant - full of energy and inspiration. 💡 By bonding over meals, I have built relationships faster, strengthened collaborations, and experienced a greater sense of fulfillment. Now, I’d love to hear from you in the comments section! 🗯️ #MeaningfulMondays #NourishNetworks #CommunityQuestion #ConversationStarters #PurposefulNetworking #TeamBuilding #SocialNetworking

There's something truly magical about the art of hospitality! ✨ It’s more than just offering a warm meal or a cozy bed; it's about creating a sanctuary where strangers can feel at home. Have you ever welcomed someone into your space and felt the energy shift? 🌈 When we invite others in, we open our hearts and minds, fostering connections that can last a lifetime. Think about it: What does hospitality mean to you? Is it the aroma of fresh-baked cookies wafting through the air, or the laughter shared over a table full of food? 🍽️ Each moment spent together can turn a stranger into a friend, bridging gaps and creating memories. In a world that often feels divided, our sanctuaries can be places of unity and understanding. When was the last time you invited someone new into your circle? 🤔 Whether it's hosting a casual get-together, participating in community events, or simply sharing your story, every act of hospitality has the potential to change lives.

Step into the intriguing world of door greeters and community engagement as we explore an unconventional meetup group in New York City dedicated to embracing failure. It's a place where members gather to share their unsuccessful ventures and lessons learned. Discover how a chance encounter in an elevator led to a profound realization about the value of a door greeter at events and gatherings. In this video, Tom unpacks the three significant benefits of having a door greeter: reducing social awkwardness, serving as a social lubricant for introverts, and building powerful social bonds among attendees. Learn how this simple addition can transform your events and communities, fostering connections, engagement, and a vibrant atmosphere. Effective Door Greeters embrace the "more friends equals more fun" concept and create meaningful connections on the dance floor of life. 🚪🤝🎉 #DanceFloorTheory, #CultureOfConnection, #EngageYourPeople, #TeamHuman, #Shorts, #CommunityEngagement, #DoorGreeter, #SocialConnection, #BuildingConnections, #SocialLubricant, #NetworkingEvent, #CommunityBuilding, #SocialBonds, #EventHosting, #ConnectingPeople, #EngageTheAudience, #EventValue, #CommunityRetention, #CommunityEngagement, #DoorGreeterValue

CONGRATULATIONS on your great week, how are you going to celebrate? Twice a week, I facilitate a co-working space we call #ClubOfDone and we bookend it with self-evaluation questions, so that we get more conscious about how 'we' work to grow more capacity, more fun, and get more done ☑️ On Hump Day #ClubOfDone one question we open with is; "Does this task I'm doing in this time set me up to clear my desk on Friday, so that I can slip into something comfortable for the weekend?" Then, on POOF, Pants On the Outside Friday, #ClubOfDone we finish by asking "How am I going to celebrate what I have achieved this week?" We so often focus on what is not working, and what we actually teach ourselves is how to do more of what is not working, which we then beat ourselves up about - LOL #brainsarefunny For example, books get printed with horrible errors, and we can cry over the two typos in the whole book or, we can focus on the thousands of perfect, correct, and meaningful words, letters, and spaces… and the whole capturing, packaging and delivering of a 'baby.' I wrote my last one about walking the Camino with my sons, read it through several times, got an editor, had it proofed, and it went through the designers and their proofers and it STILL managed to publish with a factual, GLARING error - I said we walked to the Pacific Ocean when in fact it was the Atlantic .. 😱😱 The camino is in Europe!! It did not stop me getting a national inspiration speaking tour, having my face on a bus in Sheffield, being invited to a TEDx, and everything that followed. I feel your pain, but our children are imperfect and still whole Do not let this hold you back from CELEBRATING the achievement, the Celebrating teaches us how we built success, so that we know how 'we' do it and can build on that success This is one of the most powerful rituals you can do for yourself - self evaluation builds the wins, celebration builds success! CONGRATULATIONS on your great week, how are you going to celebrate? PS this is what DALLE decided celebrating the smallest things, the essence of joy found in tiny moments, looked like
