If you work(ed) in the premium space in professional sports you are familiar with the ALSD. The Association of Luxury Suite Directors is a community of premium professionals looking to learn, grow, and innovate to push the premium space forward with the ultimate goal of creating one-of-a-kind experiences for their clients and supporting their organizations with incremental revenue. Once a year the ALSD hosts a 3-day conference. The conference dates are jam-packed with content, speakers, breakout sessions, tours of venues, and industry-specific meetings. I looked forward to the conference every year, not because it would get me out of work (in MLB we were always in season during the conference), and not just because I knew I was going to have a handful of key takeaways to bring back to my team, but because the people I met at the conference became my people. These became people I knew I could reach out to when stuff got tough. I knew I could ping any one of them and say, 'Hey, this might sound crazy, but' and they wouldn't judge me. This community formed as a result of working through challenges and commiserating over things others outside of our world didn't and couldn't understand the same way. If you are a part of the Women's Rising Leadership Academy and you feel that our community has become "your people" please give a some love ❤️ below and a repost ♻ if you feel so inclined.

What a wonderful point of view on how to encourage a team and unity within it.

Is the world better off because your business is in it? So at the moment I'm am doing the work for a qualification in sustainable leadership by participating in the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership course. The more and more I get to learn about and understand the global challenges facing business around sustainability the more I understand how very different business is going to be in the future. It's critical that business leaders are going to have to operate their businesses very very differently from the way their businesses have been run to date. There are so many opportunities for sustainability to be the core driver in all types of business and for those businesses to be radical in their innovation. Are you a business leader with a purpose? You can start from learning more about some of the issues which businesses face by attending Business As A Power For Good: B Corp Fest on Thursday 28 September 2023. I can guarantee you will walk away thinking 'I'm so glad I went to that event and I feel equipped to face up to some of the sustainability challenges and for my business to do so much more for society'.... Don't miss out and if you want to attend, please dm me for a special discount on the ticket price... https://lnkd.in/drqphXHC #sustainability #bcorp #bcorpfest #sustainableevents #sustainablebusiness #impactreport

Last week, was the culmination of the Cannes Lions International Festival, which for a normal human is, in short, the proverbial Oscars of marketing. The epicenter of global advertising brilliance. 🏆 Yes, it is exactly as dramatic as it sounds. A Cannes Lion victory is not just any accolade; it is the proclaimed pinnacle of the industry. The entire week is a whirlwind of creativity, learning, and networking set against the stunning backdrop of the French Riviera. 🌊🌞 Here are three key insights from the week passed: 1. 🎨 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲, 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐭: The most impactful campaigns demonstrated that breaking the mold and pushing creative boundaries can lead to groundbreaking results. Whether it was a poignant social message or a humorous take on everyday life, the winners showcased the power of thinking outside the box. 2. 🌍 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞: Brands that aligned their campaigns with a greater purpose and not just for profit stood out. 3. 🤝 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Many of the award-winning campaigns were the result of the fusion of varied skills and perspectives for seamless collaboration between diverse teams. Here’s to another year of inspiration and innovation! 🚀✨ #CannesLions #Marketing #Creativity #PurposeDriven #Advertising #Innovation #Leadership #BrandStrategy #networking

Another amazing event with the #Atlanta #AWWC in the books. Each year, the Alliance chooses a theme- a phrase that events and meetings will be centered around. This year, the theme is "Ignite Your Potential". Yesterday's event, "Overcoming Obstacles to Success", was all about igniting potential. It was also the first AWWC Event honoring #Blackhistorymonth. We were lucky enough to listen to a panel of strong, confident, and real leaders in the space. Sharee Tumbling, Mercedes Miller, and Kathy Rivers shared stories about their challenges and obstacles and how they broke through the ceiling to become successful leaders in their space. Here are just a few of the many things that resonated with me: 🌟 If you go up in the elevator, send it back down. Don't forget the people that helped you on your path. Help those that helped you along the way. 🌟 No doesn't mean no, no means not right now. It's a delay, not a denial. It can be discouraging to hear no. Don't let it be. If there's something you want, be it a title, a project, a raise, etc, don't give up. Keep working toward your goal, and you will get there. It might not be on your time schedule, but it will happen if you make it happen. 🌟 Whenever we (as women) are faced with a challenge, we start running through the list of things that we aren't. Change the mentality! When faced with a challenge, instead saying "I'm not smart enough", "I'm not qualified", "I'm not experienced", run through a list of strengths. Remind yourself of the times that you were met with a challenge and you succeeded. Figure out what strengths you can parlay into this new challenge. Reach out to experts and find out how they dealt with similar situations. Find a way to succeed at anything that is placed in your path. 🌟 Know your crazy. Be your authentic self. Don't ever apologize for who you are. Know that you might have "a crazy", but so does everyone else. Own it and learn how to work with it. Know when to show it, and when to control it. 🌟 If you're the smartest person in the group, you're in the wrong circle. Always challenge yourself. Surround yourself with people that love and support you, but who are willing to call you out and push your boundaries. Have people in your corner that challenge you, and that you admire. Be around people that you can learn from. 🌟 Whatever you're going to do, be tenacious about it. Don't get up from the table. Never. Give. Up. Find a way. If there isn't a path - make one. If there is a wall - break it down. If there's a mountain - blow it up. No matter what, don't give up on your dreams. I am so grateful to be part of a group of such strong, independent, kind, funny, real, and amazing women. This was by far, one of the best events I have been to, and I left feeling energized and inspired. #Allianceofwomeninworkcomp #Igniteyourpotential #overcomeobstacles #goals #goalsetting #goalachievement #tenacity #grit #women #womeninleadership #community

https://lnkd.in/gdnbDzyE "Can the joy that is so apparent in championship athletics be replicated in business?" Yes! I've played competitive sports throughout my life, and nothing has been more rewarding than the joy of winning together. The teams I played with that performed the best were the ones that had harmony, where we made an impact together and prioritized the acknowledgment of each player's contributions. I've also been fortunate to be part of a few exceptional corporate teams. When I reflect on the crew in this picture, what stands out about great teams is their ability to not just survive, but thrive together through uncertainty and risk, instilling a sense of confidence and resilience. So how do you do that? Be an inclusive leader and value the feedback from your team. Make teamwork a part of your culture and share the success and the fun. Celebrate your wins and acknowledge the players. Josh Wilkie Cari Perez Emad Al-Marzoog

GreenSquareAccord has announced receiving 254 nominations for their Gold Star Awards, describing this as an impressive 42% increase over last year’s entries. However, this claim seems somewhat underwhelming, especially considering their workforce size and the upcoming expenditure for the awards ceremony. To put this in perspective, with an employee base ranging between 1,000 and 5,000, the 254 nominations represent only about 5.08% to 25.4% of their total staff. Last year’s nominations, calculated to be around 179, indicate a low participation rate. Moreover, it is important to note that these nominations are solely from staff members, with no input from customers or residents. This exclusion is disheartening, particularly considering the crucial role that customers and residents play in the organisation’s operations. Their feedback and recognition would provide a more comprehensive and authentic measure of performance and service quality. When considering the costs associated with organising and hosting an awards ceremony, including logistics, venue, awards, and lost productivity, one must question the efficiency and impact of this exercise. The expenditure seems extravagant and not necessarily reflective of broad recognition across the organisation. Given these figures and the lack of customer/resident involvement, it's crucial to consider whether the awards genuinely enhance morale and recognition or if they simply serve as a costly tradition with limited reach. In light of these numbers, the resources allocated to the Gold Star Awards might be better invested in more impactful employee and customer engagement initiatives, or better yet spent making the homes of their residents safe, warm and dry.
