When you love who you work with… Every day feels more fulfilling Every task seems more manageable And every goal appears more achievable. It’s not just about having fun, it’s about celebrating together. Celebrations bind us, reminding us that our efforts have meaning beyond the bottom line. They reinforce our connections and energize us to push forward, together. So, take a moment to look around at your team. These are the people who battle alongside you in the trenches, who share in your struggles, and who cheer on your victories. And remember, celebrating doesn’t require a fancy gala or big party. Small acknowledgments can have a big impact. A spontaneous lunch, a team shout-out in a meeting, or a simple thank-you note can uplift spirits and strengthen bonds. Do what works for you, but most importantly, remember: Celebrate every win, big or small.

We are half way through this year. What do you plan to achieve in the next 6 months??? ➡ Are you on track to celebrate that achievement in 6 months’ time? ➡ What actions do you need to take to make sure that happens? ➡ Who would you like to be celebrating with?

It's Friday, and it's time to celebrate! But not just any celebration today, we're focusing on celebrating each other.

Sometimes you don't see the progress you are making because you are constantly raising the bar. Focusing on small, incremental goals can have incredible benefits to your learning and career. It can have the side effect of being hard to see just how far you have come. Make a habit of noting down the small wins on a regular basis and celebrating yourself for the good times. A lot of us give ourselves a hard time if something doesn't go right. So when it does, no matter how small, make a note and celebrate that.

As we conclude our theme of the month, "Living in Your Purpose: How I am doing it," we've explored discovering passions, setting goals, building a supportive network, and embracing continuous learning. However, it's crucial to take a moment to pause, reflect, and celebrate the milestones achieved along the way. Celebrating these milestones extends beyond mere joy; it's a strategic and integral part of our journey. By recognizing and applauding our achievements, we not only acknowledge the hard work and dedication invested in each step forward but also gain motivation. It serves as a tangible reminder that our efforts are meaningful, propelling us in the right direction. This positive reinforcement boosts confidence, fosters a resilient mindset, and sets the stage for even greater accomplishments. So, as we navigate our "Living in Your Purpose" journey, let's wholeheartedly embrace the significance of celebrating every milestone, irrespective of its size. It's these moments of acknowledgment that fuel our determination and propel us toward continued success. Let's start celebrating these milestones now! Share with us in the comments something you're proud of! #Womeninbusiness #WOTW #Livinginyourpurpose

Why are we bad at celebrating? Celebrating has become a lost art. Often, we're immediately moving onto the next goal, achievement, or project without pausing to reflect on how far we've come. This never-ending cycle can leave us anxious, depressed, and burnt out. Taking the time to celebrate is imperative to fostering a mindset of gratitude in all things. Celebrating achievements fuels motivation and creates a healthier mindset for everyone. Hear more about how to celebrate well ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gg3tXHHH

Last week I shared that I had been revisiting my values, and looking at how my personal values align with my business values. As part of that process I realised, even if I hadn't previously consciously named it, that deep down I value hard work. And even though that seems to have served me well in the past, it means that I sometimes work too hard and not so smart! It also means that I never stop to celebrate, I just keep going onto the next thing and the next. Recently I've had several reminders from various sources of the importance of celebrating both major and minor achievements, yet I still struggle to prioritise it. So, I'm intrigued about how to incorporate celebrations and would love some ideas please: 🏆 How often do you celebrate? 🏆 What type of achievements do you celebrate?  🏆 How do you celebrate, and do you schedule it to ensure it happens? In writing this post, I have realised I'm not the greatest at setting goals, which makes measuring what to celebrate a little more difficult! But I'm working on that too, and it ties in with my questions above so I welcome your thoughts 🙂

Monday reminder.... "If no one acknowledges or values your worthwhile contributions, it might not be you; it’s who are you choosing to be around.” Remind yourself... 💡 What are your key strengths at work? 💡 What contributions make you proud? 💡 What will you celebrate this week? #SelfAwareness #PersonalDevelopment
