The signs were there all along (literally). What a trail running event made me realise about helping your team deliver a brilliant experience for customers. I recently posted about my out-of-work passion of trail running and volunteering for Maverick Race to help deliver events across the country. My job last weekend was to check the course route before the runners to ensure it was clear, correct and still in place (having been laid the previous day) - important in making sure participants successfully made it to the finish. All of this got me thinking about the recipe for success when it comes to delivering great experiences for customers. It turns out that I didn't have to look very far. The answers were staring me in the face in the form of the very course signage I was checking. So, here's my simple 4 rules for success when it comes to enabling your team to deliver brilliant experiences for your customers: #customerexperience #experienceiseverything #humanconnection #3HNA

🏃♂️ On September 28th, I took on Melissa’s Half Marathon in stunning Banff, with my ambitious goal of finishing in 1:40. After four months of training, I felt like I had this in the bag. My good friend Devon K. —a.k.a. human metronome—was there to keep my pace on point over the 21.1km. But of course, in classic fashion, life threw a curveball—or rather, an elk. 🦌 Just 5 km in, the race came to a halt because a bull elk decided to make a surprise appearance on the course. Apparently, he didn’t get the memo that we were kind of in the middle of something. So there we were, stretching and waiting, while this guy took his sweet time sauntering by. Three minutes later, we were back on track. Thanks to Devon’s pacing, my watch time still hit 1:39, even though the official bib time was 1:42. Not too shabby, considering the guest appearance! Big shoutout to Melissa’s race organizers and the town of Banff (Banff & Lake Louise Tourism & Parks Canada) for putting on a fantastic event and for keeping things safe—even if it meant sharing the road with the locals (antlers and all). Honestly, this whole experience reminded me of working on utility-scale solar and storage projects. Just like in a race, there’s always something unexpected—a regulatory change, supply chain hiccup, or maybe even a metaphorical elk—popping up to slow you down. But with the right preparation, a good team (thanks again, Devon), and the ability to adapt and be flexible, you’ll get back on course and hit those goals. So, how do you adapt when life throws you a curveball (or an elk)? Let’s hear those stories! 🦌 #MelissasHalfMarathon #Banff #UnexpectedChallenges #ProjectManagement #SolarAndStorage #RollWithThePunches #ThanksBanff

Bringing Orange Halls and GAA Clubs together   In the spirit of ongoing progress and peace building, 23 participants completed the #NetWorks23 Communities in Partnership pilot programme supported by the International Fund For Ireland (IFI) and led by Community Finance Ireland in collaboration with Rural Community Network.   Offering participants, the unique opportunity of mentoring and workshops that support the development of their local social enterprise the programme brought many benefits and smiles all around as the group shared ideas, challenges and opportunities with each other.   This unique programme was the brainchild of Community Finance Ireland CEO, Dónal Traynor MBS LIB QFA, who said: “As we all know people get involved for a range of reasons in local community groups and more often than not want to enhance the quality of life or society in their local area. This project has shown how sharing ideas across community divides can support sustainability and fresh ideas”.   Supported by the International Fund for Ireland (IFI), Chair Paddy Harte had this to say: "Here at IFI we want to support things that are more challenging than what statutory funders are in a position to do. I wondered whether this project could be brought off because GAA Clubs and Orange Order together on the face of it is a major challenge because culturally, they are diametrically opposed. Except once you pass the cultural bit, they’re actually doing the exact same thing".   The project delivered a series of workshops during a 10-month period covering aspects such as finance, mentoring and marketing. The project is now completed but there are many requests for another one to be introduced. In the meantime you can hear more about this unique collaboration from both the organisers and participants here: https://lnkd.in/erwJRhZr #NetWorks23 #CommunitySupport #socialenterprise
