Embracing New Opportunities: The Power of a Fresh Start 🌅🦋 Good morning and happy Monday! As we begin a new week, it's a perfect time to embrace new opportunities and set the tone for the days ahead. Here’s a thought to kickstart your week: Innovation Begins with Curiosity: Just as a butterfly emerges from its chrysalis, our growth and innovation come from exploring new possibilities. This weekend, a monarch butterfly my kids had been nurturing in its chrysalis emerged, and we released it into our pollinator garden. Watching this transformation reminded me of the beauty and power of curiosity and growth. Practical Steps to Cultivate Curiosity: Ask Questions: Never hesitate to ask why something works the way it does. Curiosity leads to deeper understanding and better solutions. ❓💡 Explore New Tools: Take some time to explore new tools or features in your field. For ServiceNow professionals, this could mean experimenting with a new module or script. 🛠️🚀 Connect with Peers: Engage with your network. Discussions with peers can spark new ideas and provide different perspectives. 🤝🌐 Stay Open-Minded: Be open to new ideas and approaches. Innovation often comes from thinking outside the box and challenging the status quo. 🔄🧠 Just like the butterfly’s transformation, our own growth is a journey of curiosity and exploration. As I start this week and continue my growth within the NextGen ServiceNow cohort, I am committed to being curious and open to new possibilities What new thing are you curious about this week? #MondayMotivation #Curiosity #Innovation #ServiceNow #ProfessionalDevelopment #TechTraining #GrowthMindset #ButterflyEffect #Transformation #NextGen

🎉 Celebrating a Decade at ServiceNow 🎉 Today marks a significant milestone in my professional journey as I celebrate 10 incredible years at ServiceNow as a full time employee (excludes the 9amazing months as an intern!). I was reminded of this special day via email from our incredible CEO, Bill McDermott . Such a perfect way to start this special day, which is also a company holiday to celebrate Juneteenth!! Reflecting on the past decade, I am awestruck by the phenomenal growth our company has experienced. Growing from 1800 employees to over 24k brightest minds in the industry, we have more number of customers today with north of 1M ACV than the total customer count when I joined, to significantly increased our revenue from 400M to 10B projection for the year, and watched our stock price soar… it’s been nothing short of extraordinary ride & and I wouldn’t have it any other way. My journey here has been nothing short of extraordinary, taking me through various roles in finance, IT, and now product incubation. The learning and growth I've experienced are beyond what I ever imagined. I am truly blessed to have made some incredible friends and collaborate with talented and sharp colleagues every single day. As I look ahead, I am filled with the same excitement and anticipation as I had on my first day. Here’s to the next chapter with ServiceNow! 🚀 #ServiceNow #Milestone #CareerJourney #Teamwork #Innovation #Growth #lifeatnow

Well done

4 weeks in working for ServiceNow and here's what I think: Joining the team has been nothing short of awesome! From day one, I've been immersed in an environment that fosters innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning. Here are a few observations I've made along the way: 1️⃣ Culture of Empowerment: There's a palpable sense of empowerment among employees. From team meetings to brainstorming sessions, everyone's voice is not just heard but valued. This culture of inclusivity fuels creativity and drives us to deliver our best work. 2️⃣ Commitment to Growth: One of the most impressive aspects of working for ServiceNow is its commitment to employee growth and development. Whether it's through mentorship programs (I've just signed up) training sessions (plethora of online training) or access to cutting-edge technologies, the company priorities investing in its people, empowering us to reach new heights in our careers. HOW GOOD IS THAT! 3️⃣ Focus on Innovation: Innovation isn't just a buzzword here; it's a way of life. From refining existing processes to exploring groundbreaking ideas, there's a relentless pursuit of innovation in everything we do. 4️⃣ Strong Team Dynamics: Collaboration has been incredibly refreshing to see across leadership and peers. I've been blown away by the level of camaraderie and teamwork displayed across departments. #bettertogether 5️⃣ Customer-Centric Approach: Above all, ServiceNow is deeply committed to delivering exceptional value to its customers. The client meetings I've been in have been insightful for many reason, and importantly, I can confirm they love ServiceNow! At ServiceNow's core, we strive to do good business instead of winning at all cost. This is key to fostering relationships today and maintaining them tomorrow. I'd like to say a special thank you to Stephen Gibb Nakul Gandha Grant Thomson Stuart Pike Adam Dougall Paul Starmans Madelyn Bayer Sean Spires for your support in securing my position at SN. I'd also like to thank James Burgess and Simon Bowker for the opportunity. Lastly, too many names to call out, but thank you all for making me feel so welcome.

Here's to many more exciting adventures ahead! 🚀 #NewBeginnings #CompanyCulture #Innovation #Teamwork #TechIndustry #lifeAtNow ServiceNow

As the sun rises on another productive week, I find myself reflecting on golden nugget I brought from onboarding week in Leipzig. 🤝 Face-to-Face Magic: There’s something magical about sitting across from a colleague, sipping coffee, and diving into conversations that transcend mere work tasks. During onboarding, these moments are like hidden gems—shared stories, and the genuine curiosity that spark connections. 📜 More Than Words: Employee satisfaction isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a living, breathing pulse within SoftwareOne. It’s the warmth of a welcoming smile during that first team lunch. It’s the leader who listens, really listens, during those hallway chats. 🙏 Gratitude: So, here’s to Thomai Carapali and Sandra Schnick who made that efforts and brought us to Leipzig SoftwareOne village, creating a culture where people matter🫶. ___ And last but not least - thanks SoftwareOne for giving me access to Copilot. With its help I could make my post a little bit more fancy😊 Anna Jansen Rebekka Schwarzer Ralitsa Kostova

🎉 Today I have reached 3 milestones🎉  Milestones 10 years Accenture ✅ 10 years as Consultant ✅ 10 years with the same team ✅ ❓ But wait a minute.. you didn't really work at Accenture for 10 years, did you? No - I started working for Orientation in Objects, proposed by Tanja Schmidt, hired by Dirk Sohn and Tobias Kieninger. After a few years, Orientation in Objects was taken over by Trivadis, which was finally acquired by Accenture. ❓10 years as Atlassian Consultant Not only as an Atlassian consultant, but also as a trainer and developer. I have supported customers with process implementations, customized app implementations and much more around the Atlassian universe. I have met many nice colleagues and inspiring customers and also made some new friends. Do I regret the decision to steer my career in this direction? No - the only thing I sometimes miss is having my own "baby", like a product to be responsible for. ❓10 years with the same Team Yes- I'm proud to work with the same team as I started at Orientation in Objects Matthias Niete my former teamlead, Steffen Schluff my former mentor, Matthias Born who teached me all what I know about Confluence and XML and also Daniel Hecker where a new perspective is right across the corner. 🤯 But wait - that's not the Atlassian team at Accenture? No, definitely not! Our team grew with each of the acquisitions. I'm glad that at least these funny four people are still working with me in the same area as Atlassian Consultants. Together we got to know the people from Trivadis, such as Gunnar Kalb, Nico Zinner, Torsten Hartwig and Michael Cocheteau. Michael is not only an Atlassian ambassador, he is also part of our delivery and a lighthouse for our customers in the stormy Atlassian waters. And then, of course, there are our famous colleagues we now have here at Accenture. This acquisition was a big deal for me and others around the Atlassian Team. We have so many people here at Accenture that I can't mention all of them in this post who have influenced the last years. But I would like to mention a few pioneering examples. There's Rekha Priyesh, who empowers and inspires people, or Patrick Rutke, Isabell Klose and Melissa Posselt, who make great things happen both inside and outside our practice. And, of course, together with our clients. Their curiosity and cheerfulness is always a boost to start the day. ❓ Why do you write such a post about your anniversary It won't be the last one if this kind, I promise. But I wan't to kick off my anniversary series with a huge 🎉 thank you 🎉. You weren't mentioned here? At least for now. Be sure that I'm glad we met and be sure that I also see you as my personal influencer for the journey of the last 10 years.

It has been 2 months at #atlassian and part of the onboarding is to learn the companies values: Open company, no bullshit Build with heart and balance Don't #@!% the customer Play, as a team Be the change you seek Having shared values helps with alignment during conversations. Good values inspire us to move forward instead of limiting us. And more importantly, they facilitate having a common culture that newcomers like me can understand, align to and embrace. Each company has their own set of values and it tells you a lot about the company even before joining. For Atlassian, you can read more in the link in the first comment. What are the values for your company? Which one resonates the most?
