The Savoy’s Post

Unfazed, Unbothered This morning, while waiting for my coffee at a hotel’s garden café, I noticed a cat resting peacefully on a sofa. Its head rested gently on the cushion, shielded from the sun by the garden umbrella. Around it, there was the hustle and bustle of the café, people chatting, servers moving quickly and the faint noise of traffic in the distance. I thought of my own life, juggling work pressures and constant deadlines. The past few weeks had been filled with internal chaos as I tried to find answers to ongoing challenges. Yet here was this cat, unfazed, finding its peace amidst the storm. It reminded me that being unbothered is an art, a practice of pausing, breathing and finding calm even when everything around us feels overwhelming. Peace is a choice. Being unbothered isn’t simply a passive state; it’s a conscious decision to embrace calm in the midst of chaos. It’s about letting go of what we can’t control and staying grounded despite the noise. Mastering this art requires emotional awareness, self-control and the ability to focus on what truly matters. In just half an hour at the café, sitting across from the cat, I was able to put things into perspective. Nature has a unique way of guiding us toward clarity. Sometimes, all it takes is a moment of stillness to help us find the peace we’ve been searching for. #somethingtothinkabout #findingpeace #pause #clickoftheday #lessonsfromnature

Hey all! 🌟 Just wanted to take a moment to reflect on the incredible dinner I joined last Monday! It was truly one of those nights where time seemed to fly by as we shared stories, ideas, and tons of laughter. From conversations about personal growth to creative outlets, and even a dive into the psychedelic mushrooms topic (courtesy of Burning Man week vibes 😉), every moment was inspiring. A massive thank you to Ha Nguyen for being the ultimate host and to Maddie Kahn Deamer for facilitating such meaningful conversations. We touched on so many interesting topics that night, and each one seemed to spark a deeper connection: ✨ Creativity – We explored how we express ourselves beyond our work, with stories of poetry, TikToks, retreat hosting, painting, and community-building. It was refreshing to hear how each of us taps into our creative side in such different ways! 🚀 Personal Growth – There was a lot of talk about what’s next for us, both personally and professionally, and how we can support each other through this journey. From starting new ventures to building more balanced lives, I felt so inspired by everyone’s openness and ambition. 🌍 Sustainability – We had some thoughtful discussions about the state of the planet, from food tech innovations to climate solutions, and how we can contribute to creating a better future. The passion in the room was contagious, and I can’t wait to see where these conversations lead! 🌱 Mental Health & Wellbeing – This came up as we shared tips for balancing high-performance careers with taking care of ourselves. Whether it was through mindfulness practices, traveling, or dancing (yep, there was some talk about dancing!), it was a great reminder to prioritize our mental and physical health. 🎉 Community & Belonging – Sidebar really brings together such a diverse, creative, and growth-minded group of people. It was incredible to see how quickly we connected and how comfortable it felt to be vulnerable and share authentically. We covered so much ground, and I know there were many more amazing conversations that I didn’t get to be a part of — so let’s keep the energy going! Let’s grab coffee or connect on something specific — whether it’s creativity, sustainability, mushrooms 🍄, or anything else that lit you up during the dinner. I’m looking forward to continuing the conversations we started and building on these connections. Special shoutout to Sidebar for creating such a space for all of us to grow together. 🎉 Let’s keep the vibes alive! 💫 P.S. Don’t forget to share your creative outlets — I’m always curious to learn what new projects or passions you’re diving into! 🙌 https://lnkd.in/gTC3kRgz

Good Monday Morning, I hope you had a great weekend. We had a fun busy and relaxing one. Ben Philpot came over early Saturday morning and we drove an hour to meet some friends to do a trail run. We got between 14-15 miles with around 3200' elevation. Here in Kentucky the temps have been brutal for our area and definitely made it tougher. We then met Korey Philpot and Reena Philpot for lunch. One of the best things about the weekend was going on a date with Reena to Italx restaurant . Its a great Italian restaurant in Lexington when you get a chance to visit. Then after church yesterday all of us met to go over Korey and Kate's wedding plans to finalize some logistics. So this is why balance is such a big deal. I've talked about this before but we all have the same 24 hours a day. It's how each of us plan it out that makes the difference. Balancing between life and business is tough enough but add in training for a race and a wedding can really make it tough. This is where planning and communicating is huge because we can not do it by ourselves. It may take getting up at 4:30 or moving somethings around in the calendar but it can be done. If you're not a planner, get up with someone that is and if you are maybe offer to help someone that needs it. So if you feel like you're juggling today what do you do to get it done? Let's keep praying for the people around us and be a blessing to someone. Let's spread some positivity today and see if you can be the positive vibe that the world needs. Everyone have a blessed and wonderful week. #planning #motivation #positivity

Cloudy and #drizzlingevenings create the perfect backdrop for a cozy retreat, paired with a steaming #cupofcoffee. You settle into your favorite chair, savoring the rich aroma, the gentle patter of raindrops serenading your senses. Just as you take your first blissful sip. Ding... It's your manager’s message lights up your screen, #shattering the tranquility like a bull in a china shop. You stare at the #screen, coffee in one hand, existential dread in the other. With a resigned sigh, you dive into the email, mentally noting that rain is nature’s way of mocking your work-life balance. The rain keeps its steady #rhythm, almost as if it’s cheering for your managerial heroics. You dash off a quick, efficient reply, trying not to spill your #coffee in the process. Email sent, you reclaim your chair and #coffee, feeling like you’ve just won a small battle. The rain resumes its #soothing melody, and you take a triumphant sip, feeling the warmth spread through you. As you chuckle at the #absurdity of it all, you can’t help but appreciate the humor in balancing serenity and sudden chaos, all within the embrace of a drizzly evening. Even amidst #chaos, cherish the moments of tranquility and find humor in the absurdity of life.

#MattersMostMonday After a long weekend, and before a trip next weekend, with a friend's birthday lunch AND an Alignment session today, Monday feels a bit hectic! ALL the more important to focus on what MATTERS MOST. Which is my relationships. I didn't get to see my mom as planned this weekend, so thinking about how to get some quality connection with her this week before I travel. We share the desired outcome of a close, trusting, loving, and fun relationship, so I'm trying to keep that goal in mind, in the midst of other complexity, busy lives, and each of our respective feelings and moods. And there's some external challenge in a relationship with a colleague that we're trying to navigate delicately, so that we can get on with the important work we have to do. Again, we share the goal of helping leaders align their efforts with the outcomes they care about, so we're working on addressing the logistical challenges efficiently to focus on what matters most! My husband and I are trying to make progress on some redecorating at the house, to make it the most comfortable for us as well as our loved ones when we gather. That has proven to be challenging in the past, so I'm focused on making our conversation and negotiations tonight as light and productive as possible, recognizing that the stakes are low, all things considered, and focusing on our common objectives (creating a fun, comfortable, engaging space to be together) rather than any personal bias or attachments. This week is all about highlighting common goals to bolster relationships, ultimately serving to get things done AND sometimes delaying the satisfying task-accomplishment in favor of focusing on the people and feelings involved. What are YOU focused on as we re-enter from the holiday (in the US at least) and face 3 quick weeks before the big year-end quiet..?! 

Monday - the eternal rival. ☕️ We all know how it goes: Manchester United lost… again. Honestly, at this point, it feels like they’ve made losing part of their game plan. It’s almost like they’re handing out free wins as a public service. But we move on - some of us with a little extra spring in our step. Meanwhile, City stumbled with a draw, Liverpool and Arsenal marched on to victory, and Chelsea seems to be finding their feet again. And Aston Villa? They’re not drawing strength from black coffee like the rest of us - but from Black Sabbath, apparently! But for everyone else, the remedy for Monday blues remains the same - coffee. For years, my answer to those tough mornings was Optimist Coffee, a local gem right by Ampang Park LRT. Supporting local coffee shops has always been important to me, and Optimist delivered every time. I’d stop by daily for my black coffee, no sugar - just pure strength in a cup. Each brew came with a motivational sticker, reminding me: “You have to fight through some bad days to earn the best days of your life.” And let’s not forget - coffee isn’t just a delightful morning ritual, it’s a legitimate health booster too. A humble cup can sharpen focus, improve your mood, and supercharge productivity - the ultimate Monday survival kit. Beyond its magical powers, coffee has brought me some of my best professional moments. No, not those formal coffee talks in the office, but real, unscheduled sit-downs with mentors - moments of wisdom, laughter, and connection over a simple brew. Of course, coffee also takes me back to my days as a barista. Smiling through tough shifts, no matter how rough the day - now there’s a life lesson! Coffee has always been more than just a drink; it’s a ritual, a mood-lifter, a reminder that even Mondays have their bright side. So, here’s to coffee - and to the local shops that serve it - the ultimate wingman in the endless Monday struggle. What’s your go-to for surviving the start of the week? #MondayMotivation #SupportLocal #CoffeeLover #TheOptimist #HRwithaTwist #NewWeekNewGoals
