Time for another round of coffee. I was driving back to Oakland when I noticed this outlet at Live Oak, CA. I decided to wave the construction team flag and say hello to the troops. Temperature was a bracing 102F, but the line was still a long one. People were walking up to the window and placing orders as well. Full marks to the Operations team for serving customers quickly and with a smile. Love the synergy between real estate development, construction,and operations which enables delivery of a complete product. The crew had no time to chat. A quick wave later, it was time to say cheers and carry on. Happy Fourth to all! #construction #coffee #restaurants #environment #teambuilding #careeradvancement #change #experience #business #future #mindfulness #design #artificialintelligence #customerexperience #ai #consultants #leadership #leader #leadershipfirst #europeanleadership #management #qsr # #development #changemanagement #futureofwork #machinelearning #technology #empathy #culture #team #innovation #collaboration #strategy #digital #peoplefirst #motivation #transformation #environment # #restaurantdesign #work #career #ecornell #cornelluniversity #managementdevelopment # #opportunity #customercommunication #dubai #executivesandmanagement #successfulmindset

Life is a Highway part 6. I was on my way to inspect a site and decided to stop at the Dutch Bros Coffee located off the freeway in Santa Maria. A brief chat with our intrepid operators later, I decided to throw them a curveball and get an old school Americano. Nothing like a sip of piping hot coffee to energize your senses. After a brief Sojourn, it was time to heed the call of the road. How’s your end of the year going? Do tell. I look forward to hearing your thoughts, as always.

Car distribution group NVD has plans to build huge logistics hub in South Dublin 🚗🚙🚘 National Vehicle Distribution (NVD), a company that transports new and used cars to garages, is looking to build a huge logistics hub at one of its facilities in south Dublin. NVD Trading submitted plans to change the use of lands near one of its vehicle distribution centres in Baldonnel from a car park to a logistics warehouse campus. The proposed development includes four new logistics/warehouse units with a combined gross floor area of over 20,000 sq m. Each of the warehouses would include office and staff facilities. Using construction consultant Scollard Doyle’s estimates, developing a logistics warehousing hub of that size could cost around €20m. NVD’s project planners said a new logistics campus would increase employment opportunities in the Dublin region. #Cars #LogisticsHub #Dublin #Warehouse #Employment Anne Hanley Catherine Casey https://lnkd.in/espNMDMq

What I Learned Running a Home Service Business (and How It Can Help Others) When I ran my landscaping, hardscaping, and irrigation business, I learned some tough lessons—ones that ultimately propelled my business forward. Here are a few of the biggest: 1. Hire for Values and Vision: It’s tempting to prioritize experience, but I found it was far better to hire people who shared my values and bought into my vision. Skills can be taught, but alignment ensures adherence to your standards, saving time and frustration in the long run. 2. Use Checklists Everywhere: Checklists became indispensable—vehicle load-outs, equipment maintenance, tools required for each job, and material delivery instructions. They eliminated excuses, reduced errors, and saved time. 3. Optimize Routing: For recurring jobs and bigger projects, efficient routing was a game-changer. Early on, I used Google Maps to create logical routes that saved fuel, time, and reduced crew frustration. Later, I invested in software, but even basic tools made a difference. 4. Never Pause Your Sales Funnel: Twice, I paused sales because I felt overwhelmed with work. Both times, it caused a lag that hurt profitability. Keeping the sales funnel active while figuring out how to handle the workload was the better path forward. 5. Hold Your Team Accountable: Hire, promote, and terminate based on your values. Clarity and consistency here are key. It’s better to be short-staffed with aligned team members than to struggle with a full crew making avoidable mistakes. The Big Lesson: When I worked alongside my crews in the field, I lost strategic momentum. But when I committed to staying in a leadership role—solving problems, creating systems, and fostering accountability—my team and business grew exponentially. Here’s Where I Need Your Help: This is NOT a sales pitch! I know there are home service business owners out there dealing with these same challenges. I’ve developed a program to help solve these issues, but before I roll it out, I want to ensure it addresses all the pain points owners like you are facing. Who I’m Looking For: Home service business owners, such as landscapers, electricians, pest control providers, cleaning services, HVAC technicians, etc. You’ve experienced growth but are stuck hitting ceilings because of a lack of structured frameworks for scaling your team. You’re hands-on in the field while trying to manage and grow the business, leading to burnout and missed opportunities. You’re ready to break through this stagnation and shift into a strategic, leadership-focused role. What I’m Asking: If this sounds like you, or you know someone it applies to, I’d love 45 minutes of your time for an interview. This is not a sales pitch—I’m gathering insights to make sure my program addresses your real challenges. You can schedule a time with me here: https://lnkd.in/e4gbTZnm

✨EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT✨ When we first introduced you to Gavin, he started as Rental & Distribution Manager. In the 15 months since, he has proved his weight in gold and quickly progressed to oversee all operations of our Richlands Facility. Quizzing Gavin on the best career lesson he has received, he reflected back to his first career as a chef in Melbourne saying “mise en place” (French pronunciation: [mi zɑ̃ ˈplas]). A culinary phrase often used in professional kitchens meaning "putting in place" or "gather" and refers to the setup and organisation of ingredients required before cooking. Gavin says, ‘If your “mise en place” is not right you’re setting up to fail’… as true in the culinary world as it is in Oil & Gas!👌 Here’s more on what Gavin had to say about working at Sharpe®… ✨What does your job entail?✨ I look after all that goes through the service centre and warehouse side, ensuring we have good levels of stock to provide our customers with fast turnaround times on spare parts. Plus rental quotes and sales orders, making sure all rental equipment is ready to go and looking good. ✨The best part of your role?✨ Meeting customer requirements even if it’s a 1-day turnaround to help them out and the great feedback from them for going the extra mile. ✨What do you enjoy most about working at Sharpe®?✨ The last 15 months have been fun, I like how Sharpe® makes every employee feel part of the family. It’s a lot different to work for a corporate business compared to Sharpe® that’s for sure, we’re not a number here. ✨When not at work, what are you most likely doing?✨ Driving lol. (Referring to his 1+ hr commute each way to work!) 🚙 At the moment setting up my new shed and gardens around it. ✨What’s the coolest thing you are working on right now?✨ That’s the best about Richlands… everything we do is cool, from weld repair to customer property, to doing shear tests for customers. ✨What does your perfect weekend look like?✨ Glass of Sauvignon Blanc, football on TV, and my wife by my side, that’s after a game of golf when I don’t beat by my wife. Plus having the Weber filled with some kind of pork dish. ✨Got any favourite sayings?✨ ”Is it ready yet” Thanks Gavin, keep up the great work mate! 👍 It won’t be long before we help you shave that commute time in half! #WeAreSharpe #SharpeEngineering #ResourceIndustry #MeetTheTeam #EmployeeSpotlight #SharpeSolutions #WorkFamily #OzOilAndGas #AustralianManufacturing #CompanyCulture
