Williams Racing’s Post

Wisdom, Experience & Exposure has a Price ....

Turning Setbacks into Success: The Resilience of Lewis Hamilton In this remarkable video, we witness Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton facing a challenge that would unsettle even the most seasoned of drivers. Hamilton inadvertently stops at the wrong pit crew, a potentially race-altering mistake. However, what truly sets Hamilton apart is not the mistake itself, but his remarkable response to it. As the video unfolds, we see Hamilton's swift acknowledgment of the error and his immediate action to rectify it. With unwavering focus and determination, he quickly navigates back to his own pit crew, minimizing the impact of the setback and keeping his race strategy intact. This moment serves as a poignant reminder that setbacks are inevitable on the journey to success. However, it is not the setbacks themselves that define us, but rather how we respond to them. Hamilton's ability to remain composed under pressure and turn a potentially disastrous situation into a mere blip on the radar is a testament to his resilience and mental fortitude. #Resilience #OvercomingObstacles #Inspiration #LewisHamilton #SuccessMindset

I don’t normally write posts like this. For those that know me, my posts are pragmatic and straight to the point. It’s the Yorkshire man in me! However, I was at Silverstone this weekend and a few thoughts struck me that I wanted to share. I have long been a fan of F1, particularly of Lewis Hamilton and watching his win this weekend at Silverstone, after 945 days without a win, was quite special. Following the race, he spoke about the difficulty to maintain his training and belief in himself, questioning whether he (a 7-time world champion) was good enough to win again. I have seen this mentality many times in F1. Drivers winning races against the odds, pushing themselves and their car to the limit to get over the line before anyone else. Having a bad day in qualifying yet turning it around the next day to come from behind to win a race. In therapy I often reference F1, to illustrate that anything is possible. Not letting your past influence your present, realising that the future is not written, and anything can happen. If you put the work in, with determination and self-belief, anything is achievable. There will always be moments when life gets life tough, and we struggle. This is normal, everyone feels this way, even an incredible sportsman like Lewis. But it’s not how you feel in these moments that define you. It is what you do next. It is okay to feel negative emotions, but they don’t have to influence our thoughts negatively. Lewis held onto that self-belief, however shaken by past race results, and chose to see each day as a new opportunity. Using those emotions to drive him to that win on Sunday. Emotions whether positive or negative can be harnessed to help us achieve many things. Nothing is set in stone. Whether it is in business, our career or life. With hard work, determination and self-belief we can realise our dreams.  

At The Security Group, we are always looking for ways to push ourselves, to do better and offer the the best experience. That inspiration comes from all kinds of places and one elite sportsman that keeps inspiring us is our sponsored F2 driver, Ollie Bearman. Ollie's unwavering determination and resilience have propelled him to incredible achievements, most recently as he became the youngest British driver to ever drive in F1. We understand the importance of resilience in reaching new heights. In the fast-paced world of construction, challenges are inevitable, but it’s how we respond to them that truly defines our success. Whether it’s navigating through tight deadlines, overcoming technical hurdles, or adapting to unforeseen circumstances, resilience is the driving force behind every triumph. As we witness Ollie’s remarkable journey, let’s be inspired to embrace resilience in our own endeavours! Let’s go! #Resilience #Success #WorkplaceTechnology #ConstructionExcellence

Before drive 2 survive there was #rondennis and #michaelschumacher... teaching us #careerlessons - sticking to the plan and finishing what you've started..... Ron Dennis, team manager at McLaren, tried to woo Michael to join his team at a fashion show no less. Michael, a relatively new driver showing massive potential, was partway through his journey with the up-and-coming BennetonF1....and responded with class. This is something we all deal with at some point in our careers. If you're facing short-term frustrations, remember your plan and what you wanted to achieve when you took on that new position. Have a list of measurable goals and choose a realistic point in the future to objectively evaluate how you're tracking. Try not to listen to all of the noise between those points in time.... and don't let a bad Monday followed by a snap decision derail long-term plans.

Yesterday, Lewis Hamilton made history by becoming the first F1 driver to win on any track nine times, extending his incredible F1 record to 104 race wins. If you caught the race, you probably felt a tug at your heartstrings watching his emotional celebration at the end. Who knew a multi-millionaire could be so relatable!? 🏎 In his post-race interview, Hamilton got real about "the constant challenge we all have to get out of bed every day and give our best shot." Now, I’m not saying recruitment is quite like driving a car at 200+ mph for 90 minutes, but the struggle is real! During the rollercoaster ride that is talent acquisition, whether you're in agency or in-house, it often feels like there are "so many times when you feel like your best shot is not good enough." But let's take a page from Lewis's playbook: stay resilient, keep pushing, and remember that even when things get tough, giving our best shot every day is what eventually leads to those big wins—whether it’s on the track or in the office! #talentacquisition #recruitment #f1 #resilience #mentalhealthawareness

The worlds greatest F1 driver does this one trick to stay winning 👇🏼 When you’re chasing a win, it’s easier to keep pace. When you’re out in the lead, it’s hard to keep pushing. Lewis Hamilton imagines himself out in front and chases a better version of himself. It keeps him straight. Focused. It’s easier hunting down someone or something because you have something to aim towards. It’s harder keeping pace when you’re out in front because you don’t have as much driving you. ***** What helps you to stay focused?

How Lewis Hamilton's Journey Can Inspire Your Job Search Recently, I was introduced to F1 by my superior. Today, I saw a lot of excitement in the F1 community about Lewis Hamilton's victory at the British Grand Prix. As a job seeker in the international market, his journey really inspired me. Success doesn't come overnight; it requires patience and hard work. Here are some key takeaways from Hamilton's journey that resonate with me: - Never Give Up: Hamilton ended a 56-race streak without a win. - Breaking Records: He now has 104 victories and is the first to win the same race nine times. - Consistency is Key: 12 consecutive podiums at Silverstone. - Experience is important but learning attitude matter:Victory after 344 starts. - Age is Just a Number:Oldest driver to win an F1 race in the 21st century. - Longevity in Success: Winning in 16 different seasons. Hamilton's journey reminds me that with passion, resilience, and relentless pursuit of our goals, we can achieve greatness in our careers. #Inspiration #CareerGoals #Perseverance #LewisHamilton #JobSeekers #Motivation #NeverGiveUp #F1

What are the Educational, Health, or Economic Benefits to these Players and their Families for that kids uncompensated participation in any additional “NON-SCHOLARSHIP” private third-party postseason football games that pay the Universities and the Conferences for the use of their free labor to put on these highly profitable Bowl events. The answer is ZERO! These additional 1-5 POSTSEASON games are also above the Players’ 12 game athletic scholarship agreement? Our Proposal offers Major Benefits in all three Categories to the Players and their Families! Scholarship Football Players are owed Hundreds of Millions of dollars from this year’s Media contract that uses these Players’ Name, Image, and Likeness NIL without any equitable financial consideration to the Players or their Families! This lost Money could have a major impact on these Players lives, the lives of their current and future family members for generations? We do not support, or agree with the House vs NCAA Settlement or the current covert attempts to extend and expand this Antitrust exploitation of our young (mostly minority) FB & BB Players' labor that the US Supreme Court and Federal District Court have recently struck down as illegal and implausible.

Sainz to Williams?! On the face of it, not many teams on the grid share such a rich history as Williams, they are one of the few teams (on paper at least) that are somewhat comparable to Ferrari. However, if you are a fan of F1 and have been following it for the last few years, you will know this represents a huge step down, and is a rather shocking move. With the rules changing in 2025 and James Vowles at the helm, who knows what will happen. Williams returning to form and winning would be historic, maybe Sainz knows something we don't, either way, I wish him the best of luck! The job market can be tough, how do you know if the move you are about to make is the right one? It can be almost impossible to judge a business until you work there yourself. At Howett Thorpe, our priority is finding you the right job, we take the time to understand what you want and what is important to you. Every business is different, just as every candidate has unique requirements. As Sainz is taking a leap of faith with his move, you might be contemplating your next career step.
