Piovan UK’s Post

I launched Mync Boutique while sitting alone in my car, across from a post office, with nothing but a vision and determination. The road was filled with obstacles, but each struggle reinforced my commitment to my dream. Today, Mync Boutique is a thriving symbol of female entrepreneurship and empowerment. For all the women out there who feel alone in their journey, remember: your solitary beginnings can lead to extraordinary achievements. Keep believing in your dreams. 🌟 #WomenInBusiness #EntrepreneurialSpirit #Empowerment

Thank you to everyone that said “No” along the way. Such an important moment to reflect when someone says no when an opportunity presents itself. No can mean a lot of things. It may mean you aren’t ready, you don’t see the big picture, or it can mean you have the opportunity to grow by reflecting and responding with positive results that allow the growth necessary to elevate your success at the next level. Seek the feedback. Lean in. And growth will be the result when you get outside your comfort zone and level up. Keep pushing. #growth #leadership

HAPPY DAY to all of you! Thank you all for being wonderful humans that have supported me and opened themselves up to the changes I and others bring into the world. We are all beautiful and unique beings and without each one of us, the other doesn’t exist. Each day, I will celebrate and appreciate your beautiful life and energy by being the best human I can be. This is how real change happens in this world. The beauty is once we unlock this power within, the outside world will reflect and receive it. The more we use it and embody it, the more powerful it becomes and the bigger its wave. Upon reflection of today, I am choosing to celebrate another beautiful moment on this earth by sharing this reflection: How are you enabling the most value with your resources? A company is similar to a bunch of cogs (gears) working together to deliver a vision. Are you taking care of the “machine” so it takes care of you? Can the process be simplified? When I walk through the stores nowadays, I am amazed by the number of products for each category. The amount of effort that goes into each product from conception to consumer is huge. Is everything you are doing and putting into the product adding value (supporting you and your customers to be healthier, happier, and more resource efficient and abundant)? What we create is what we receive. Each one of these products comes with a sizable footprint. From conception and maintenance energy (hiring, training, development, investment, regulatory, documentation, sales, marketing, certifications) to ingredient and packaging supplies and storage, to spare parts and storage, to final product staging, warehousing, and distribution, and the sustainability opportunities that exist within each one of these stages. How much food is tied up S/C? Each time a new or enhanced product hits the shelf, it impacts all the other products in some way (from conception to acceptance). ✨ How efficient is your company’s machine currently? Are stakeholders part of your product and project rationalization process? What is the impact of your product or project on the world? I’ve witnessed that the “right” decision is the one that ensures a sustainable foot print. It is also the one that maximizes profit and creates a healthy work environment. Each decision within a company has a ripple effect on every other person. Are you aligning yourself to your company’s vision and goals with each breath? Sometimes this includes a regeneration period. When you invest in making the “machine” run, it runs itself and you can redirect resources to creating “new”. Have you ever tried adapting a machine when it needs some TLC (putting a brand new modification when the machine needs cleaning, alignment, and/or replacement of wear parts)? This can be correlated to new products or packaging. A strong vision, strategy, transparency, and aligned action board is a beautiful way to create a path for creating a well oiled “machine”.

When you decide to celebrate success and give your team an incentive for their contribution, make it relevant and make it worthwhile. They are the core of your organization.

As they say picture speaks a thousand word..it is already articulating everything but would like to add some of my thoughts on this topic.. *Fair Share: Time to Rethink Profit Distribution* As we celebrate corporate successes and soaring profits, let's take a hard look at the elephant in the room: *Why aren't hardworking employees sharing in the wealth?* When companies rake in billions, but employees struggle to make ends meet, something's amiss. It's time to question the status quo and prioritize fairness. *The Issue:* - Record profits, but stagnant wages - Lavish executive compensation, but meager employee benefits - Disproportionate wealth distribution, fueling income inequality *The Solution:* - Transparent profit sharing models - Performance-based bonuses for all employees - Fair compensation and benefits packages - Investing in employee development and growth *Let's Break the Silence:* It's time for corporate leaders to recognize the value of their employees' hard work and dedication. Share your thoughts: How do you think companies can better share profits with employees? What benefits or incentives would you like to see? *Let's spark a conversation that drives change!* #FairShare #ProfitDistribution #EmployeeBenefits #CorporateSocialResponsibility #IncomeInequality #Leadership

When Your Company Strikes Gold and You Get... Pizza? 🍕💰 Alright, gather 'round for a tale of two companies! Company A (let's call them "Dough-verload Inc.") just had a record-breaking quarter.  The CEO's grinning like he won the lottery, and the shareholders are doing backflips.  So how do they thank their hardworking team? drumroll With a pizza party! 🎉 Now, don't get me wrong.  I love a good slice as much as the next person.  But when the company's swimming in cash, and you're drowning in pepperoni, something doesn't quite add up! 🤔 Meanwhile, in the land of "We Actually Appreciate Our Employees": 1. Google once surprised their staff with $1000 cash bonuses and 10% raises across the board.  Talk about a "Google search" worth doing! 💻💰 2. Airbnb gives employees an annual $2000 travel stipend.  "Sorry, can't come to the meeting, I'm busy appreciating my job from a beach in Bali." 🏖️ 3. Tesla has been known to reward top performers with actual Tesla cars.  I guess "employee of the month" parking spot just doesn't cut it anymore! 🚗 4. Amazon offers to pay 95% of tuition for employees to train for in-demand jobs.  Because nothing says "thanks" like investing in someone's future (and potentially creating your own competition). 📚 5. Twitter (pre-Elon era) once gifted custom-made Tiffany & Co. glass bird ornaments to all employees.  Because nothing says "we value you" like breakable tchotchkes, right? 🐦 As the great Richard Branson once said, "Clients do not come first. Employees come first.  If you take care of your employees, they will take care of the clients." Now, I'm not saying we all need to start handing out luxury cars (though I wouldn't complain).  But maybe, just maybe, when the company hits the jackpot, the celebration could involve more than just extra cheese. So, what's your take?  Are you team "pizza party" or team "thanks-a-million"?  Share your most memorable (or hilariously disappointing) work appreciation story in the comments! #EmployeeAppreciation #CorporateCulture #WorkplaceHumor #GennadiyVaksman #GV #MrG #Gennadiy ------------------------------ ✅️ I share content that I find unique, inventive, and distinctively cool.  ✅️ Follow me for more updates: Gennadiy Vaksman ✅️ Stay tuned for my latest content by ringing the bell icon (🔔) at the top right corner of my profile. ------------------------------

Feeling very proud to share this! :) Dr. Geetanjali Jha who heads our Digital Parenting program, is about to launch her book "Digital Parent Transformation", which is an authoritative work on the subject! Wishing you all the best, mam :) #DigitalParenting #Book

Was just reading the foreword by Doug Tallamy...WOW! Here's a small sample... “Every once in a while, a book comes along that meets an important need most people don’t know they have. Sarah Jayne’s Nature’s Action Guide is such a book. Sarah could have called her book Conservation for Dummies—not that she wrote it for true dummies, but because she has identified a subject everyone needs to know but almost no one was ever taught: how to share our spaces with the natural world.” … “Sarah wrote Nature’s Action Guide as a complement to my book Nature’s Best Hope. My last chapter suggested 10 things homeowners could/should do to help share their property with nature. After reading my book, Sarah set about trying to enact each of these suggestions in her own yard but quickly realized that, even as an experienced gardener, she didn’t know enough to be successful. And if she didn’t know enough, many other budding conservationists were likely to struggle as well. Sarah’s solution was to write Nature’s Action Guide, a step-by-step, easy to use manual that explains how each of us, regardless of our background or gardening experience, can accomplish all of the goals I propose in Nature’s Best Hope, as well as several I only hinted at! Restoration biology is a relatively young scientific discipline a few decades old. Practicing restoration in human-dominated landscapes, in comparison, is in its infancy and we are still learning what works and what doesn’t work. One of its many distinguishing features is that Nature’s Action Guide is current, explaining state-of-the-art conservation in suburbia with the most up-to-date best-practices available. Even a half-hearted attempt to follow Sarah’s action items is guaranteed to improve the biodiversity potential of your landscape and thus the productivity of your local ecosystem. For this, we all owe Sarah Jayne our heartfelt thanks and gratitude—because, whether we appreciate it or not, we all depend on those same ecosystems.” Douglas W. Tallamy
