Pike Construction Services’ Post

1 whole year... Not many words can adequately describe how much I've grown since starting at Big Red Jelly In this time, I've had the privilege of forming valuable relationships and learning key lessons that have begun to shape both my professional and personal future: 1️⃣ Communication and Words are KEY: Building strong relationships hinges on clear and effective communication 2️⃣ Growth is in Our Hands: Every individual's growth is a personal journey and responsibility. Our efforts, dedication, and mindset are what drive us forward 3️⃣ Never Lose Wonder and Curiosity: Those who continuously seek knowledge never stop opening doors and progressing – often in leaps and bounds! 4️⃣ Overcoming the Uncomfortable: "Uncomfortable" is just a state of being. With practice and effort, we can change and overcome it, much like training for a sport I'm excited to share the partnerships I've formed and the amazing projects I've closed over the past year. Thank you to everyone at Big Red Jelly and all our partners for making this year so memorable. Here's to many more years of success! 🚀 #Anniversary #BigRedJelly #ProfessionalGrowth #ContinuousLearning #Partnerships 🦅John Adams Ari Monkarsh Senia Kirk Mark Freier Paul Burgon Carson Eagan Chris Forbes Kami Howard Vaughn Cook Scott Gentry Jason Kidman Valentina Mendoza Chloe Cleveland Ryan Elmer Clairissa Cooper Travis Sheridan Palak K.

What a great local business going from strength to strength.

We work at PepsiCo

Today, I stopped by the Corning Pizza Hut, wearing my custom Estornes&Boor #NoOneOutPizzasTheHut shirt, and noticed the team sporting some great new hats. I casually mentioned how much I’d love one, and to my surprise, Alecia, one of the amazing staff members, kindly brought one out for me! It was such a thoughtful gesture. But what truly stood out to me today wasn’t just the hat—it was the sense of community and teamwork in action. Despite the challenges of a hectic day and a few impatient customers, the entire CPH team remained friendly, apologetic for any delays, and worked incredibly hard to keep things running smoothly. As someone who’s worked in service and who currently has the privilege of leading a team, I know how important it is to remember that no matter how much planning goes into a day, unexpected challenges will always arise. And that’s where the importance of patience, respect, and community shines through. In moments like this, we should lift each other up. Whether you’re a customer or an employee, we’re all human, and a little kindness goes a long way. Instead of frustration, let’s show appreciation for those who work tirelessly to serve us. Supporting each other—especially on tough days—is what strengthens our communities. #CommunitySupport #ServiceIndustry #KindnessMatters #Gratitude #Leadership #Teamwork #NoOneOutPizzasTheHut

Great to see a brand PepsiCo to listen to their customers and #thinkdisruption. Embracing the basic idea of the sachet economy, from other informal (Base of Pyramid) markets like India, Indonesia, China et al., to help customers that are having month left at the end of the money. How refreshingly different and customer-centric compared to the more common approaches of the formal sector (Top of the Pyramid)? To my mind, offering price-offs, multi-buys, Buy 2 for XX Rand, Buy 3 get 1 free or buy 2 and get 20% off does NOT get a cash-strapped customer to buy more. Talifhani Banks Selby Gumede

Today I’m celebrating one year at Tyson Foods. In only 12 months, I have been fortunate enough to experience 3 different roles each one with a bigger and more exciting scope than the other. My hard work didn’t go unnoticed and I am grateful for the trust of our leaders and for the recognition I have received. Some of my highlights from this reflection: *winning the MAD performance award 🥇 *heartwarming performance feedbacks from managers and leaders♥️ *being encouraged to get creative with solutions, challenging the status quo! 🧠 *getting pushed outside of my comfort zone & encouraged to make mistakes we can learn from✨ *leading key initiative & transformational projects ✍️ *building tools, processes, dashboards & resources that our teams, worldwide, rely on daily for their work to be done efficiently & reported back on💻 *being HEARD and INCLUDED 👂 *meeting incredible bright minds all over the world 🌍 *2 back to back promotions 🎉 Comparing my knowledge, skills and ways of thinking YTD, I realize that while significant progress can’t be seen on a daily basis, we shouldn’t give up. It’s important to work on incremental improvements daily as over a 1 year duration, the compounding effects are quite significant.

Chipotle: Webster Tx. Have you ever wondered if the employees featured in TV commercials are actual employees or perhaps actors? Me too. Today, at one of my favorite place for lunch, I met Christina - the manager and actual Chipotle employee who's featured in a recent commercial. In our brief conversation, I mentioned how awesome it must be the face of a franchise and asked if this was something she applied for, volunteered to, or was asked to do?! She said her boss helped push her name through the process, but wasn't sure she'd get the opportunity because of - in her own words, an occasional stutter. As an affirmation, I said the commercial was spot on and she was great! I even doubled down by sharing that some of the most influential people we know - had an occasional stutter. ... the likes of Ed Sheeran to Elvis, Kendrick Lamar to the voice of the The Lion King, even in biblical terms for Moses who went to the Pharaoh. What a nice reminder of a modern miracle, in my opinion. - Disfluencies won't keep us from being an influence. - Opportunities are abound. - The value of seeing greatness in others, and to help see them through.

Celebrating 1 Year at RDJ Bakeries! 🎉 Though this post comes slightly overdue, it's never too late to acknowledge and appreciate milestones worth celebrating. Over the past year, RDJ Bakeries has weathered numerous challenges, emerging stronger and more successful than ever before. In the dynamic and fast-paced environment that defines RDJ, every moment presents an opportunity for growth and learning. In this whirlwind of a first year, I've witnessed firsthand the resilience and dedication that define our company culture. I know that every company likes to claim that they are a fast paced environment, but when I say RDJ Bakeries is fast paced - it definitely is. However, the rewards both personally and professionally are immeasurable. Reflecting on the past year fills me with gratitude for the opportunities I've had to contribute to our collective success, to forge meaningful connections with colleagues, and to chart a course for the future. It's been a year of learning, of overcoming obstacles, and of setting ambitious goals. I owe much of my growth to the incredible leaders and mentors within RDJ Bakeries, whose guidance has shaped my journey and expanded my horizons within the realm of Human Resources. Here's to many more successful years ahead at RDJ Bakeries! 😇 #Milestone #1YearAnniversary #growth

It’s time corporate pizza parties got a facelift 🍕 Once upon a time, this was enough to say thank you to your employees. It was enough to make them feel valued and maybe even enough to get them talking to their friends about their awesome corporate culture! Fortunately (for us), times have changed! And as much as I appreciate a satisfied belly, there’s something different about meaningful recognition. One that truly says “Thank you. We see you. And we value all you bring to this team”. For example, you wake up on the day of your one year milestone to an abundance of congratulatory messages from your colleagues. Or maybe you’re surprised with heartfelt messages on the day of your birthday or for the birth of a new baby. What if we took it a step further and celebrated both big and small wins at work? Like that 6 month project you finally completed or maybe that one time you went out of your way to help someone on a different team? This type of recognition creates real impact. And if you want that impact aka a boost in employee morale and productivity to last, throw in a bit of cash 😉 The data doesn’t lie! So if you’re interested in learning more about channeling that pizza party investment into something new and exciting, let’s chat. #employeerecognition #employeeappreciation #monetaryrecognition #employeeengagement #corporateculture
