Not a perfect 1️⃣0️⃣⁉️ 🚀 Just wrapped up our 75th mangers meeting since we began this journey over two years ago! 🎉 At our recent gathering, we delved deep into mindset, skill development, and habits—core pillars of our team's growth. 💡 With a sprinkle of operational matters, we dedicated ample time to refining our unique process and exploring the exciting realm of AI. 🤖 What truly sets our meetings apart is our commitment to gratitude. Starting or ending each session with a moment of appreciation fuels our values and strengthens our bond as a team. However, I must admit, in the whirlwind of discussions, I overlooked this crucial ritual in our latest gathering. We rank our meetings from 1-10 with 10 being the best score. Needless to say I received a not-quite-perfect rating of 9.75. 🙏 Why? I was so excited at what I was presenting I forgot the gratitude part of the meeting. 😞 I loved that they called me out on it! It only underscores the importance of gratitude in our meetings—it's not just an add-on; it's at the core of our success. Here's to many more enriching sessions ahead! #TeamCulture #Gratitude #ContinuousImprovement

Some days are more challenging than others, with never enough hours to get everything done. But then there are those productive days when I can look at my to-do list and see significant progress, ticking off tasks one by one. It’s often the little things that make the biggest difference—a simple “thank you,” some recognition, or seeing the positive impact on a colleague after a visit. Moments like these remind me why I love what I do! Receiving a recognition email from a colleague via the Vivup reward and recognition platform midweek has given me that extra push to tackle even more of my to-do list, arrange more one-on-one meetings, and schedule site visits to connect in person with my colleagues. Looking forward to continuing to support them and driving positive change together! #vivup #highfive #recognition #MyOhana

Success isn't just about the big milestones – it's about the small wins along the way. Whether it's finishing a project on time, learning a new skill, or getting positive feedback from a client about your new hire, these moments matter. Celebrate them! What small wins are you celebrating today? #CelebrateSmallWins #EveryWinCounts #TeamSuccess #PositiveFeedback #SmallStepsBigImpact #EssenceRecruitment 

There’s a special kind of joy when you receive an email that says: “Glad to have you onboard. PFA the signed agreement. Look forward to working with you.” It’s more than just the start of a new project—it’s the beginning of a shared journey toward growth, creativity, and impact. 💡 Each time a client places their trust in MADnext , I’m reminded of the true power of collaboration. It’s not just about agreements, but about aligning visions and setting the stage for meaningful change. Our onboarding process focuses on more than paperwork—it’s about listening, understanding goals, and laying the foundation for real results. 🌱 Here's to creating something extraordinary together and embracing the potential of every new beginning! 🙌

#Winning #Wednesday: Celebrating Our Midweek #Successes! What are your wins so far this week? Take a moment to reflect—your to-do list is a great place to start. What tasks have you checked off? While having a to-do list is essential, let’s not forget the power of a not-to-do list.  This helps you avoid distractions, say no to low-priority tasks, and #focus your energy on what truly matters. It’s better to accomplish 2 things well than to juggle 5 things poorly. Success isn’t about doing it all—it’s about doing the right things right. Let us know in the comments: What’s your win this week? #WinningWednesday #FocusOnWhatMatter

A short story of how I ended up on stage with our founder and CEO, Markus. L&D team: "Evert, you’re introverted, right?" Me: "Yes, very." 😶 L&D: "So you wouldn’t want to be on stage in front of a lot of people, right?" Me: "Not unless I really have to." 🤔 L&D: "Great! You’ll be perfect for facilitating our onboarding session for new joiners - and interviewing our CEO! See you on Thursday." Me: "Cool. Cool." 🫣 Alright, maybe that’s not exactly how it happened. But honestly, facilitating sessions and entertaining people you've never met is tough! For me, it’s much easier to present on specific topics and share my knowledge. Then I remember how crucial onboarding is when starting a new job. It’s important to have someone who makes the time for you, making sure you feel like you belong. So, I take on the challenge to step out of my comfort zone - because I know my team would do the same for me. 🫡

Take a guess...what percentage of new hires do you think attribute whether they stay with their company to ONBOARDING? 20%? 50%? Would you believe that the Gallup Poll reports 93% - no matter the tenure of your organization's new hire! At Insight Global, we know that onboarding and the candidate/consultant experience MATTERS, and we go above and beyond to make it great, helping our clients increase productivity and retention and helping our consultants feel engaged and cared for.

🌟 Gratitude Post: Celebrating Last Week’s Wins! 🌟 Every week brings its own blend of action, emotion, and reaction. It’s always a good idea to step back, reflect, and give yourself a pat on the back for navigating another week—whether it was routine or extraordinary! 🎯 Embracing the Multi-Faceted Marketer’s Role: This week at my incredible workplace, Zeotap - I kicked off a major event scheduled for later this month, achieved strong LinkedIn engagement, and fostered powerful cross-team collaboration. 💡 Learning from Fellow PMMs: This week was particularly enriching as I absorbed insights from LinkedIn and the Product Marketing Alliance and GTM Alliance Slack communities. I enjoyed virtual coffee chats with some amazing PMMs - Div Manickam and Chandan Deka; Also the lovely Harshil Boparai - who is nailing it as a Community Manager 😊 A special highlight was connecting with Michele Nieberding 🚀—working with and sharing ideas with such a leading PMM is a real pleasure! 🙏 Appreciation for Support and Positivity: Huge thanks to Javier M. for your unwavering support, motivation, and trust. You always inspire me to reach higher. I completely resonate with everything Ayush Agarwal mentioned about working with you. Every day brings not just new learnings but also a fresh dose of positivity! #SoloPMM #ProductMarketingManager #AmazingWorkplace #Gratitude #TeamCollaboration #CommunityBuilding
