How’s your first “proper” week back in 2025 going? For me, this week has felt refreshingly different from previous years in the contact centre world. In the past, this first week back often felt like a false start. People were easing back from extended annual leave, calendars were chaotic, meetings were frequently rescheduled, and overall momentum took time to build as everyone “warmed up” to the new year. But this year feels different—in a great way. We’ve hit the ground running: - Wrapping up end-of-year reviews efficiently, - Resuming the rigour and cadence of high-performing teams with strong engagement (mentally and physically!), and - Staying on track to finalise our goals and objectives for 2025. We’re also celebrating success early. Through Opstanding, our R&R framework, we’ve been recognising and rewarding exceptional performance, and there’s a real sense of control and clarity. This isn’t about celebrating busyness, burnout, or just keeping busy for its own sake, It’s about focused, high-impact performance, great leadership, and a thriving culture—and I’m proud of what we’re building! Have you had yours? 😀

And the office is ready to roll! After the holiday break, it feels good to get back into a productive mood. Whether it’s new goals, fresh strategies, or just getting organised for the months ahead, I’m excited for what’s to come. How are you kicking off the year? Let’s make 2025 a year of action and growth! #BackToBusiness #FreshStart #NewYearGoals

Success isn’t about avoiding challenges—it’s about bouncing back stronger every time life gets messy. Let’s talk about resilience. It’s not about being unshakable—it’s about keeping it together when everything feels tough. Here’s what I’m reminding myself as we start this week: ◾ It’s okay to pause and breathe. ◾ It’s okay to stumble. ◾ But quitting? That’s not an option. Every little effort counts, even on the hardest days. So, let’s show up, step by step, and make it count. P.S. What’s one way you’re bouncing back stronger this week after the holidays? I’d love to hear it! Happy First Monday of 2025🥳 Evelyne Kioko

Yesterday was my first (official) day back in the office after maternity leave! I started the day with a head full of ideas, eager to dive into upcoming projects and new ventures. But as the day unfolded, I found myself feeling a bit overwhelmed. With so much to tackle, it felt like I was making little dents everywhere but not moving the needle on anything significant. I already had my goals and priorities for this quarter laid out in Bloom Growth™ (if you haven't checked them out yet, do it!) but I still felt a bit unfocused. I decided to go for a walk to clear my head, and sort inspiration in 'Will It Make The Boat Go Faster' by Ben Hunt-Davis MBE and Harriet Beveridge. Here's what I discovered: When I'm in 'Mum-mode,' everything feels like a priority, and needs to be tackled 𝐧𝐨𝐰! But running my business requires a different approach. If everything is a priority, then nothing is. I took a step back and shifted my focus from quarterly goals to just September priorities. Then, I broke it down further into weeks and days. Throughout this process, I kept asking myself, “but will this make the boat go faster?”. If it doesn’t bring me closer to my goals, it’s not getting done - at least not right now! What strategies do you use to prioritise tasks? #businesstransformation #organisationalhealth #changemanagement #businessstrategy

🚀 Midweek Momentum: The Bank Holiday Hustle! 🚀 Hello LinkedIn family! Here we are again—Hump Day has arrived, and despite the recent Bank Holiday, it feels like the week hasn't missed a beat. Isn't it curious how these shorter weeks often seem to demand the intensity of a full five days’ work crammed into four? I spent the extended weekend deep in the trenches at our Brentwood depot, catching up and prepping for numerous new site launches. There’s no rest for the driven! Today finds me back at the mothership—Jangro Ltd HQ in Bolton, right next to the buzzing Toughsheet Community Stadium. A quick shoutout to Bolton Wanderers for clinching a spot in the Play-off finals—what an electrifying atmosphere here! I’m in Bolton for our regular Group Development committee meeting, where we plot the future growth of Jangro. We’re brewing some exciting developments in the background, and I can’t wait to share them with you all. Later tonight, I'll be heading south to Shrewsbury, gearing up for an early morning rendezvous with Chris Martin at CMYKUK to explore some nifty new printers for our production team. Always on the lookout for tech that boosts our efficiency and creativity! And speaking of tech, I'm eagerly anticipating next week's adventure at Interclean Amsterdam. It promises to be a whirlwind of meetings, reconnecting with old friends, forging new partnerships, and diving into the latest industry tech and products. Here’s to a super-productive rest of your week. Let’s keep pushing the boundaries, embracing challenges, and celebrating every win—big or small. Keep up the fantastic work, everyone! #HumpDay #Jangro #Innovation #BusinessGrowth #Networking #ISSAAmsterdam #KeepPushing

No matter the reason you are away from work—maternity leave, vacation, medical reasons—it can be a challenge coming back to the work you left behind. (Please tell us we're not the only ones!) But take a tip from Charlotte Hartley and plan ahead by having your journey laid out for you. She used Bloom Growth™ to keep her goals and priorities for this quarter documented, making her return to the office that much smoother. 🤔 How do you stay on track with your goals when you take time off from work? Let us know in the comments! #betterwithbloom #goals #quarterlypriorities
