Having a good Manager is nothing short of a blessing.

A good boss can make your work life significantly better, and the impact of a good boss extends far beyond just work.

Firstly, a good boss can make a huge difference in your day-to-day work life.

A good boss can provide you with clear expectations, feedback on your work, and support when you need it.

They can also help you develop your skills and provide you with opportunities for growth within your role.

With a good boss, you can feel more confident in your abilities and more motivated to do your best work.

In addition to the benefits to your work life, a good boss can also impact your overall well-being.

Studies have shown that having a supportive boss can lead to lower levels of stress, greater job satisfaction, and better mental health.

A good boss can create a positive work environment, where you feel valued, respected, and supported.

Furthermore, a good boss can be a valuable mentor and role model.

They can offer guidance and advice based on their own experiences, and they can inspire you to be your best self.

A good boss can also help you navigate the ups and downs of your career, providing you with a sense of stability and direction.

Finally, a good boss can create a sense of community within the workplace.

A good boss can foster a positive team dynamic, encouraging collaboration, open communication, and mutual respect.

This can create a workplace culture where everyone feels connected and supported, which can lead to greater productivity, creativity, and success.

In conclusion, having a good boss is truly a blessing.

It can make a huge difference in your work life, your overall well-being, and your career trajectory.

So if you have a good boss, be sure to appreciate and thank them for all that they do.

And if you don't have a good boss, remember that there are always opportunities to find a better fit.

💙❤️ Leave a heart... ❤️


It's all about HAPPINESS .

Happiness is the way, not the other way around. 
This is also true when it comes to living a purposeful life. It's not something you find; it's how you live your life, serving others and giving meaning to your work.

5 Reasons Culture Beats Salary Every Time

(And how to build it)

Have you noticed this?

A salary increase makes you happy once a year.
But a healthy culture keeps you happy every day 😊

Sure, paychecks matter.
But culture?
That’s where real happiness comes from.

A healthy workplace isn’t built overnight.
It takes effort.
Every single day.


So, what does a healthy culture look like?

1️⃣ Open communication
→ People feel heard and respected.

2️⃣ Recognition that matters
→ Celebrating wins, big or small.

3️⃣ A focus on well-being
→ Supporting mental health and work-life balance.

4️⃣ Teamwork and trust
→ Building real connections beyond job titles.

5️⃣ Growth opportunities
→ Helping employees reach their full potential.


Why does this matter?
Because culture defines everything.

When employees feel valued ➨ they give their best.
When teams trust each other ➨ they thrive.
When well-being is prioritized ➨ productivity soars.

Leaders, take note:
➢ A healthy culture isn’t a “nice-to-have.”
➢ It’s the foundation of success.


Here’s the real question:
What are you doing today to build a culture that keeps your people happy?

Magnificent! Barcelona's Alex Roca Campillo made history as the first person with a Level 5 severe disability to complete a marathon, when he finished the Barcelona Marathon on the weekend in a time of 5 hours and 54 minutes.

The 32 year old has cerebral palsy due to contracting encephalitis when he was six months old which rendered 76% of the left side of his body immobile and he communicates in sign language.

In the Spanish disability grading system the 5th level being over 75% - meaning a very severe disability with the individual unable to perform most daily tasks by themselves.

The doctors were not confident that Alex would survive, but his hard work, determination and perseverance has allowed him to take on life and not be defined by his disability.

After the race he posted on social media: “I HAVE NO WORDS!“

Alex's mantra is “You set your own limits, they are set by us individually.“

A wonderful perspective reset and a reminder to do what you can with what you have.

This is so true.

I was a terrible manager when first given the opportunity.

Leading by example came naturally to me, but quality management is an art and science that wasn’t prepared for.

Although i’m not as terrible as I was before, I’m still learning everyday and trying to share what i’ve learned with others going through the same boat.

Here are a few things i’ve learnt along the way:

* Promote Work-Life Balance: Encourage employees to take breaks, use their holiday entitlement, and set boundaries between work and personal life. Lead by example by respecting these boundaries yourself.

* Provide Clear Expectations: Clearly communicate goals, expectations, and timelines to reduce uncertainty and stress. Ensure that each team member understands their role and how it contributes to the overall success of the team.

* Offer Support and Resources: Be approachable and available to listen to your team members' concerns and provide guidance. Offer resources such as counselling services, mental health days, or flexible working arrangements to support their well-being.

* Recognise and Appreciate: Regularly acknowledge and appreciate your team members' contributions and achievements. This can be done publicly or privately, depending on the individual's preference, to boost morale and motivation.

* Encourage Open Communication: Foster a culture of open communication where team members feel comfortable sharing their thoughts, concerns, and ideas without fear of judgement or reprisal. Actively listen to their feedback and address any issues promptly.

* Provide Opportunities for Growth: Offer training, professional development opportunities, and career advancement paths to help employees develop their skills and reach their full potential. Recognise and celebrate their progress and achievements along the way.

* Promote Collaboration and Team Bonding: Encourage collaboration, teamwork, and mutual support among team members. Organise team-building activities, social events, or volunteer opportunities to strengthen relationships and foster a sense of belonging.

* Lead with Empathy and Compassion: Take the time to understand your team members' individual needs, challenges, and strengths. Show empathy and compassion in your interactions and decisions, and be flexible and accommodating when necessary.

* Create a Positive Work Environment: Foster a positive and inclusive work environment where diversity is valued, and everyone feels respected, heard, and appreciated. Address any conflicts or issues promptly and promote a culture of mutual respect and support.

* Monitor and Address Burnout: Keep an eye out for signs of burnout, such as decreased productivity, increased absenteeism, or changes in behaviour. Take proactive steps to address workload issues, provide additional support, or adjust expectations as needed to prevent burnout and support employee well-being.

Hope these help! Your team will thank you for it ❤️

I interviewed someone with a 17 month gap on their resume.

Me: I’m just curious, why the gap? Did your employer lay you off?

Him: No, I quit. My fathers health declined. So I relocated to take care of him and spend as much time with him as I could before I had to say goodbye.

Me: That says a lot about who you are. We can always start a new job but we can never get our time back with the people we love.

He will get the chance to work with us.

WHY? A person who knows when to leave a job to be there for their family is the type of person I want to work with.

Who agrees ? 👇👇👇

I once hired an employee 5 minutes into their first interview. They ended up being a great fit.

I could have asked for more interviews, a case study, or had them wait two weeks for an answer.

But I wouldn't want someone to do that to me.

The hiring process today forgets that each resume is from a person with dreams, a family, and bills to pay.

Interviewing 100 people 6 times each for your entry-level job wastes everyone's time.

Here's my advice:

If someone is a good fit, just hire them.

In 2008 we applied to Dragon's Den & got as far as a screen test and we pitched our hearts out before the producers rejected us.

They deemed Martin & myself not investment worthy.

We were totally crushed.

We were prepared to offer the Dragons 20% for £100,000. Based on our latest BrewDog valuation, that investment would now be worth almost £360m meaning the Dragon's missed out on by far the best deal in Den history.

We got over the rejection eventually. But it took a while.

STOP ASKING CANDIDATES:

1. Why do you want to work here?
2. What's your greatest weakness?
3. What would your last boss say about you?
4. Why should we hire you?

WHY ARE THESE BAD QUESTIONS?

1. The candidate doesn't know whether they want the job yet. They came to the interview to learn more; you invited them to learn more about them. You wouldn't like it if the candidate asked you, “Why do you want to hire me?“ so don't ask “Why do you want the job?“

2. It is just an opinion that people have “weaknesses;“ it is not a scientific fact. Even if they do have weaknesses, why would it be any of your business what a candidate's weaknesses are? You are not about to share your failings, so don't ask for theirs. Ask what they bring to the job, instead.

3. Some managers are amazing leaders and some are terrible at their jobs. Just because someone is a boss doesn't mean their opinion matters.

4. The candidate isn't going to meet the other candidates for the job. YOU know what you're looking for; they don't.

ASK THESE QUESTIONS INSTEAD:

1. What interested you in the job? (By the way, here's what we liked about your resume.)

2. How do you think your background & talents suit this job?

3. What else would you like to know about the job?

4. How would this job advance your career?

BEING A DAD MEANS EMBRACING THE JOY

Being a dad sometimes means setting aside pride and being willing to look a little foolish—all for the sheer joy and laughter of our kids. A dad’s role in a child’s life is more than providing guidance or discipline; it’s about building moments that let a child feel loved, secure, and confident. The kind of moments that make kids feel like their world is filled with warmth and laughter.

These small acts, where dads don’t mind making a fool of themselves, have a long-lasting impact. They show children that love isn’t always serious or quiet; it can be goofy, loud, and lighthearted. Mark Twain once said, “To get the full value of joy, you must have someone to divide it with.” And who better to share that joy than a dad who doesn’t take himself too seriously?

Hopefully, these children grow up with cherished memories of a dad who wasn’t afraid to dance around, make silly faces, or tell funny stories just to see them smile.

Hopefully you enjoy my posts and will follow me on LinkedIn.

Someone shared a post saying she was looking for a job. There were 0 likes and no comment. So I liked, commented and tagged a couple of recruiters. Last week she sent me a message:

“Brigette, thank you so much for taking the time to comment on my post. The views on my post went to 300,000. Recruiters contacted me. Someone even volunteered to review my resume for free. I now have 2 interviews and I did not have any for the last 3 months. I am so excited! I only wish there were more people like you.”

Job searching is emotionally draining. So whenever you see such posts, share or drop a like or comment. It only takes a few seconds but could be a lifechanger for someone.

You may not be able to get them a job, but someone who might be able to, may see it. This is what LinkedIn and true networking is about. Let's help each other out.

Stop ghosting candidates.

It takes time to respond to job applicants. But it took them even longer to apply.

A little communication goes a long way.

Asked the team if they prefer working in the office or from home… 🤣 (watch til the end)

But seriously… As leaders we have a duty of care to our team to have them around one another, experiencing life as it’s supposed to be, connected (and not through the internet) but real connections with real people that aren’t just the ones we live with.

My neighbor lost his corporate job two months ago. To make ends meet he started cleaning cars, painting homes, and even cutting grass. Some of his colleagues laughed. They thought it was “beneath him.”

His only focus was to provide for his family.

Fast forward, people are happy with his work and have referred friends. He’s making almost as much money as he was before.

Defeat is a choice. He made a choice to not accept defeat. Never down someone who refuses to give up.

I still remember I was 7 months pregnant while appearing for my masters exams. I felt I was ready to sit for 3 hours as I was regularly going to the office back then. But sitting in an AC office was completely different from sitting in a third-floor room of a government school. I would go to the ground floor every 20 mins to use the washroom. (Moms can imagine) I thought I would be okay.

In the next exam, I was all prepared with a water bottle, fruity, and lots of bananas. My family told me to quit the exam the moment I don't feel good.

But the determination to complete my masters and the attitude to never give up helped me show up for every exam.

Remembering that time today to remind me and all women that there will always be challenges in our journey but our actions in such situations define our story.

This tweet went viral.

But the reason isn’t as obvious as it appears.

Yes, Chewy delivered great customer service. That deserves praise.

But this tweet went viral because tons of OTHER people had similar experiences — so when they saw it, they replied and shared with their own experiences.

Consider:

🎨 Chewy makes 1,000 oil paintings of its customers’ pets PER WEEK, and sends them out as gifts!

🌸 Chewy regularly sends flowers to people when their pets die.

😊 Chewy has a team of more than 2,500 trained customer service reps who respond quickly and kindly.

Delighting one customer is great. But when you delight ALL your customers, they'll join together to shout your praises.

THAT is how you go viral.

Making employees feel valued and APPRECIATED is the best thing you can do every day. In today's world where everything moves at 100 miles /hr in a company, it is easy to forget to stop and do this. Even the slowest employee will work to the best of their ability if they know their efforts are being appreciated. Appreciation coupled with incentive rewards is a great morale and productivity booster. Don't just tell me how much you appreciate me. Show me! Actions speak louder than words! Agree?

Your ABILITY is GREATER than any disability.

One day, Thomas went to school dressed as Superman.

The teacher asked him, “Why are you wearing that? You aren't allowed to wear that to school?’

He replied: “Because Superman is my uncle.“

The teacher explained that Superman wasn't real, but Thomas insisted that he was.

Later, at school pick-up, the teacher approached Thomas' mum and said,

“We don't encourage our kids to tell lies and you shouldn't either. Your son has been telling everyone his uncle is Superman.“

“Oh!“ she replied with a smile, “He's not lying. It's true.“

Here is little Thomas with his uncle... Henry Cavill.

10 simple yet transformative lessons:

1. The Power of Walks
↳ According to a study by Stanford University, walking increases creative thinking by an average of 60%.
↳ Next time you're feeling stuck, take a 15-minute walk.

2. The Biggest Failure is Never Trying at All.
↳ Embrace challenges as opportunities to learn. 
↳ Failure is an inevitable part of the learning process. The key is to embrace it as an opportunity to grow.

3. Micromangers hurt Productivity
↳ Micromanagement stifles motivation. 
↳ Having someone constantly looking over your shoulder hinders your productivity.

4. True Leadership is Empowering Others
↳ Being a leader means creating an environment where others can thrive. 
↳ Being a leader isn't just about telling people what to do; it's about helping others grow and become leaders themselves.

5. The Power of Mindset
↳ Your thoughts shape your words, influencing your actions and becoming habits. 
↳ A positive mindset makes you feel more motivated and confident to take action.

6. The Benefits of Sleep, Nutrition, and Exercise for Peak Performance

↳ Make self-care a priority, and you'll see the benefits in your personal and professional life.

7. Overcome Procrastination
↳ Break your tasks into smaller, manageable parts, focusing on one thing at a time. 
↳ The key is to take that first step. Use tools like the Pomodoro Technique or the Eisenhower Matrix to prioritize your tasks and manage your time effectively.

8. The Recipe for Career Success
↳ When you work with great people, you push each other to improve. 
↳ Collaborating with talented individuals inspires you to reach higher.

9.  Learn from Your Mistakes

↳ Extroverts often excel in group brainstorms and networking.

“Neha, don’t hire freshers, they don’t have experience.”

I’m sorry, but where will they get the experience if we don’t hire them?

I decided to hire freshers, many of whom are just done with their bachelors.

Today I stand at a place where some of them pursue their higher education,

These days, people underestimate the importance of a good education. However, education has played an essential role in my life, especially in molding me into the person I am. The exposure, the networking, the independence, and the life lessons you get from being away from your family.

So, yes, I feel bad because these are kids whom I trained and who are pillars of my company, but at the same time, I feel I am not the one to come in their way to fulfill their dreams, and I’m proud of them for taking this step under my guidance.

What do you all think about hiring freshers?

#hiring #education #people #highereducation #freshers

Humanity begins with an initiative, then why should we as a human being shy ourselves off from taking that vital step by being humane to everyone around us.

Searching for a JOB? I saw a post someone shared seeking employment. He had been recently laid off. There was 0 likes. So I liked and commented. This happened last week. Friday he emailed me to say how grateful he was for my support and he got and accepted an offer.

Many individuals here are searching for jobs and when no one likes or comments on their updates, it feels like added rejection. Job searching is emotionally draining and discouraging. And It takes guts to share, “I am out of work and need a job...”

So when you see such posts, share or drop a like or comment. Every little bit counts. It will boost their visibility and will give them encouragement to keep pressing on. You may not be able to get them a job but someone else who might be able to, may see it.

This is what LinkedIn and true networking is about. Let's help each other out.
