Pallas had our 3rd annual Christmas party last week. And it gave me the chance to reflect not only on my colleagues and the law practice we have created together, but more broadly on the experience of working together in a company. We were of course only one of tens of thousands (hundreds of thousands?) of companies having Christmas parties in Britain. Most of us do it because we want to, and most of us enjoy it (sometimes too much – must stay out of Roll on Friday…) Which is to say, we enjoy simply spending time with the people we work with – almost as if they’re friends. Which is a weird and a wonderful thing, since most people would say the main reason we work for a company is to make a living, hopefully doing something we like. We don’t says we work for companies to make friends, or to be with our friends. And yet, maybe we do. If not, we’d be a strange sort of species to spend so much time in such circumstances. And if you think back to Covid, one of the things that was so horrible about it – at least for me – was that work was only about WORK. There were none of the pleasant interactions with colleagues (friends?) that played such a part in making work enjoyable (or at least bearable). So I guess all I’m saying is, Merry Christmas to companies, colleagues and friends alike! (The picture is 7 years old, BTW.) #xmas #bahhumbug #backtolawtomorrow

🌟 Why Team Building Matters 🌟 In today’s fast-paced work environment, successful companies understand that growth is built on strong teams. That's why investing in team-building activities is more important than ever! Here are a few reasons why team-building initiatives can make a difference: 🔹 Enhanced Collaboration Team-building exercises break down silos, encouraging people from different departments to connect and work together. This helps bridge gaps, creates open communication channels, and fosters a collaborative culture. 🔹 Boosted Morale and Engagement Happy teams are productive teams! Engaging in fun, non-work-related activities can refresh and re-energize employees, making them feel valued and motivated. This often leads to improved job satisfaction and higher retention rates. 🔹 Increased Trust and Empathy Through challenges and activities, colleagues can understand each other's strengths, weaknesses, and working styles. Building trust within teams is key to creating a positive work environment where people feel comfortable expressing ideas and giving feedback. 🔹 Better Problem-Solving Skills Team-building often includes activities that require creative problem-solving, pushing employees to think outside the box. This can lead to enhanced critical thinking skills that benefit projects and client solutions down the line. When a company invests in its people, it shows! Team-building isn’t just a “nice-to-have”—it's a strategic advantage. 🌐 How has your organization benefitted from team-building?

While (almost!) everyone is aware that people are different and that most seasoned professionals are trained in different personality styles, what is less obvious to grasp are our different motivational styles. In fact, the motivational core - what gives a person energy and drives them forward - is not the same for everyone. Knowing this is important because what energises a person has an impact on so many important things. The aim is to get to know each other and find out what fuels each of us. Mélissa Paij Séverine L.

How do you deliver 5-Star service? Think about it. 5-star service means different things to different people. 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐞, 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐚 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐠𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐈 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐬𝐤, 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞, 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐈 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬. But for others, 5-star service might mean something entirely different. So how do you deliver 5-star service when the definition changes from guest to guest? 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐬. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐩𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨. For example, at a recent event, I knew my client cared about creating lasting memories with her friends and family that traveled to be there for her special day! So, I volunteered to take photos of their group at key spots around the venue, moments they’ll now have forever. The truth is, the days of “nothing went wrong” being enough ARE OVER! The new standard isn’t just avoiding mistakes, it’s delivering something unforgettable. 𝑺𝒐, 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔 5-𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓 𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒊𝒄𝒆 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒏 𝒕𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖? #service #hospitality #sandiego #venues #events

"The Best Party Ever!" Pulling together an unforgettable 60th birthday bash is all about the details—and it’s the behind-the-scenes magic that makes everything run seamlessly. Jen + Tim’s incredible party was a true highlight for me in 2024, and hearing their guests rave about it being “the best party ever” was the cherry on top! From finalising the run sheet to coordinating vendors and even booking extras like Green Jersey shuttle buses to get guests home safely, every little detail came together beautifully. Communication, logistics, and those ‘invisible’ tools like site maps and schedules are what transforms events into extraordinary experiences—and they’re my bread and butter! It was such a joy to step in and take the reins so Jen + Tim could focus on the fun stuff (like celebrating!) while leaving the juggle and queries to me!
