Big moves, tough talks, and zero limits, Team GORM's week was anything but ordinary! Chief Operating Officer Beatriz Gómez Moreno: "Back in Dublin, and it’s been a full-on week! Busy with events and in-person meetings , but getting to work with Mamobo every day has been the best part. Really excited for what’s coming next week!"💙 The Wideshot Programme Coordinator Ayesha Syeddah: "I'm in the era of using my voice - yet difficult conversations can sometimes make me question and reflect on whether I am fully trusting myself with speaking my truth - whether personally or professionally. I want to rebrand difficult conversations as necessary conversations. This week I had a necessary conversation - it was honest, raw and conducive. I know both of us walked away from it feeling lighter and better - which means an even healthier and positive work space." 🗣️🙂👏🏽#winwin Digital Marketing and Communications Executive Eilís Walsh: Puzzle pieces are coming together for my work to prepare for the GORM Gathering and what was once something I was nervous about is now something that brings me excitement. Every week I am amazed by how much our little company is growing and there seems to be no LIMIT! Automation has been a massive asset to my work too ;)" #WeeklyRecap #ProfessionalDevelopment #SocialEnterprise #TeamWellbeing #WorkCulture #Ireland #TeamSkills #DiversityInclusion #InterculturalManagement #InternationalTeam #GORM

Ever seen a CEO sell tomatoes by the roadside? Let's dig into why this could be our reality check. In the bustling streets of Lagos, where dreams are as vivid as the bustling markets, it's easy to get caught up in the race to the top. We all have ambitions that drive us, visions of making a mark and changing the landscape of our society. But in this journey, how often do we pause and reflect on the reality of those around us? How do we ensure we don't lose touch with the everyday lives of the people who make up the heart of our communities? Staying grounded isn't just a catchphrase; it's a vital practice, especially for those of us who aspire to lead and innovate. Remembering where we came from serves as a compass that guides our decisions and actions. It's about maintaining a connection with the majority—those regular folks we interact with every day. These are our customers, our employees, and our partners in progress. They are, in every sense, the backbone of our economy and the pulse of our nation. For those who teach our children, for the parents raising the next generation, and for all of us who are part of this vibrant tapestry, embedding values such as community and collaboration into our lives is crucial. Aristotle wasn’t wrong when he said that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. By fostering a sense of unity and working together, we achieve more than just individual success; we elevate our entire society. So, let's commit to staying connected to our roots and to the real world. Let’s teach our youth to reach for the stars while keeping their feet firmly planted on the ground. Let’s remember to improve not just our circumstances but also those of the people around us. By doing so, we don’t just achieve our dreams—we expand them to include the dreams of others, making our collective aspirations a tangible reality. Together, we can ensure that as we climb, we lift others with us, creating a community that thrives on empathy, understanding, and mutual respect. 📽 one of the ways I stay grounded; with my lover Esther Ekele Ikyanyon -------------------------------- I invite you to join me on this #journey as we explore the #EssenceOfLearning to #OptimizeHumanPotential. #PhDofLife #AfricanExcellence #DoctorateOfLearning #LearningJourney #LearningToLearn #EducationForAll #LinkedforAll

🌍 Our Cape Town Adventure🌍 Last week, the entire ingredient brothers team came together in Cape Town for our annual company conference, where many of us met in person for the first time. The experience was truly transformative, filled with reflection, connection, and a deepened sense of purpose. I am still processing this experience, so here are just a few reflections from our fantastic team: 💬 Francisco Schiariti: "Being part of Ingredient Brothers feels just like being at basecamp with a mountain of opportunities ahead. Every day, the team proves that the impossible is within reach." 💬 Kristel Marquez": "From sharing breathtaking views and late-night conversations in Cape Town—this is truly my dream job! The opportunity to connect with the team in such a vibrant setting has strengthened our bonds and deepened our collaboration." 💬 Victoria Albornoz: "Meeting the global team face-to-face felt like reuniting with old friends. Our sessions were both business-focused and personal, seamlessly blending to create an atmosphere of trust and empathy." 💬 Allyza Joyce Mercado: "This wasn’t just a trip, it was a collision of dreams, hustle, and good company. Cape Town was more than an Instagrammable moment—it was a surreal adventure that I'll never forget!" The trip was a powerful reminder that we are not just colleagues. Together, we're working towards a shared mission of putting our customers first and supporting each other professionally and personally. 🎥 Check out the video to get a glimpse of our incredible week in Cape Town! #Teamwork #Leadership #CompanyCulture #Growth #CapeTownAdventure #GlobalTeam #IngredientBrothers

A new school year for our daughters, New faces joining our team (big announcement coming next week!), And most unexpectedly, I’m stepping into a new sector for consulting work. If you’d told me four years ago I’d be advising veterinary practices on business systemisation, I wouldn’t have believed you. They say, “Never work with your family, musicians, or animals.” They say, “Pick one thing and just focus on that.” They say, “Never mix business with pleasure.” Well, it seems I’m breaking all the rules. #BusinessDevelopment #CareerGrowth #EntrepreneurLife #FamilyAndBusiness #Innovation #ConsultingLife #Systemisation #ProfessionalGrowth #TeamExpansion

𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐃𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐬: 𝐀 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐚𝐭 𝐀𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐨𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐚𝐦𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐚 (𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑) As the Cambodia Country Manager for Animal Doctors International, Cambodia, I still remember the excitement (and maybe a hint of nervous energy!) when our boss/founder announced we would open on April 17th, 2023. Looking back, the construction site might have told a different story. It felt like a monumental task, but that's the ADI spirit, right? "No" was never an option, and our boss embodies that perfectly. He inspires you to believe, to push yourself, and is always there to support the team. Every single day, our team dug in. We problem-solved, tackled challenges head-on, and put in the extra hours (and then some!). We knew the animals needed us, and there was no way a little (or a LOT of) construction dust was going to stop us. The payoff? We were ready to welcome our first patient the very moment we opened our doors. This whole experience was a masterclass in grit and teamwork. It taught me a powerful lesson: when you have a clear vision and a supportive team by your side, there's almost nothing you can't achieve. These days, I walk into work with a different kind of excitement. It's not just about the challenges, but the incredible journey we've been on together. We may not have known it then, but a year ago, we were laying the foundation for something truly special, and I am so excited for what is yet to come!

Wednesday (3.4.2024) was my 1-year anniversary at Adven – The leading partner in the energy transition. Let's sum up the past 12 months. When I started at Adven, I knew the learning curve would be steep. Little did I know how steep: 🧡 I have literally had to dig up my old university books to remind my self of some basic physics rules I had completely forgotten during my IT career. 💚 My colleagues have been endlessly patient in explaining me what certain terms mean, how our solutions work, what an MVR does, how lactose is retracted from waste water and so on. Special cudos to Pasi Kolehmainen and Antti Tuominen for always being there for my stupid questions. 🧡 I have had a crash course on how pricing of long term, asset heavy, solutions is done. The contracts in this business are 15+ years, which means that there are quite different risks than with IT's 3+ year software contracts. The basic elements of outsourcing are still there though. 💚 I now know how beer malt is produced, what is needed to make ready-made-foods, how frozen vegetables are done in a way that they don't loose their color and what is needed for milk to become lactose-free. All this I have had to learn quickly to talk with my customers how we can best help them on their sustainability journey. And my customers are always ready to teach me the specifics of their business, which I am so grateful for. What I want to become better at in the next 12 months: 🧡 Like in IT, also the energy solutions are ever evolving and becoming more complex. I want to know what are the next up and coming energy efficiency solutions that can make my customers production even more sustainable. 💚Articulating the benefits of our business model even better. I can still see that some of our customers do not see the benefits of EaaS. How we take full responsibility for the value chain from development through construction, and investment to operation and maintenance. How the tailor-made solutions help reach sustainability as well as financial and operational goals. What I hope I have been able to bring to the company so far: 🧡 New ways of utilizing tools and methods on sales and work in general. 💚 How social channels are used today to support the more traditional ways of selling. 🧡 Celebrating small wins, holidays, special occasions and even regular Fridays. 💚 Understanding customers business on even more strategic level. 🧡 Joy and laughter. So to sum it up: 🧡It has been fun. 💚Every now and then frustrating (because of the speed of the business compared to what I'm used to). 🧡Definitely challenging. 💚Meaningful. 🧡Hopefully in the long run impactful. 💚New. 🧡Different. 💚But above all it has been a pleasure to work with such an amazing people around me. Thank you advenians for making me feel as part of the team every day. And special thank you to Kristaps Greidāns for taking the chance on hiring me ❤ #workanniversary #1year #energyindustry
