We're proud to have Brandon as a President's Award winner! Not only has he grown on the job, but his dedication to doing the job right, and growing in patience proves true character that we're glad to have on our team. "In this job there can be overwhelming amounts of numbers you are dealing with at a given time, so I’ve enjoyed the patience that is required to double or even triple check that whatever function you are executing is correct and can be traced in the system correctly. That was overwhelming when I first started, but you get a sense of satisfaction when everything goes as it should." #employeeappreciation #bestplacetowork #businesservices #businessoutsourcing

I think the biggest key to success is surrounding yourself with people who inspire you. Last night I was in a room full of people that inspire me every day to be better not only for myself, but for my clients. This past year with New York Life has developed my professionalism in ways I never imagined, and I can’t wait to see what my team and I accomplish in 2024. We’re just getting started ✨🏆 #newyorklife #2024kickoff #financialservices

Are you ready to trade who you are for who you need to be? 🤔 Having goals and going after them is about consciously transforming so that we can be and have those goals in our lives. We must make space in our lives to receive that which we truly desire. And in all cases where we are brining new things into our lives it's about tradeoffs. I have made many tradeoffs in my life. And some were harder than others. When I was a young Airman, I worked part time at American Eagle. I loved it because it was a way to keep up my wardrobe while making a little extra spending cash. Getting to know some great people, some I still stay connected with today, and learning how to talk and sell to people were some of the best things I took from that experience. When I was promoted into a leadership position, my supervisor sat me down and said my off-duty time would be better utilized by going to college (rather than working at American Eagle). It would help in my leadership development and would broaden my skills as a radiologic technologist. It was a tradeoff - letting go of one thing in order to pursue another. It wasn't easy. I realized it was something I wanted, but I had to push through the fear of the unknown to make it happen. I had to work for it. Sometimes we can get stuck between wanting to change and taking action towards that change. And what most often holds us back is fear. Realize that fear is a normal reaction - it protects us when we feel unsafe. However, to become what we need to be, we must push through fear to embrace what we truly want for our lives. Join us at Live2Lead to be surrounded by others who are leaning forward to become what they need to be in order to bring the things they want into their lives. 👉 https://lnkd.in/g2GcPdSQ

Luke Littler's phenomenal success in getting to the World Darts Championship Final this week resonates with me in so many ways. Believe it or not, the young Robert 'Newt' Newry, was on the oche in front of a Birmingham crowd over 30 years ago with none other than the 'Crafty Cockney' himself, the late and great Eric Bristow. Unlike Luke The Nuke, I have no real talent for darts and was utterly destroyed, but like Luke, Eric was humble and generous with his post match encouragement. I knew though that my skills lay elsewhere! This is what as TA professionals and hiring managers we can, and should, take away from this week's championship final: 1. Skills come in many forms. Luke clearly has incredible eye-hand co-ordination (hard skill) yet what got him to the final was as much his ability to handle pressure, quick thinking, and self-belief (soft skills). Add to that, his humbleness, unpretension and determination (more soft skills), all of which meant he rapidly became an audience and media favourite (key to sponsorship). Once again we are reminded that experience and hard skills alone do not equal success. 2. He gave hope and belief to thousands of people who have potential that you can make it to the top by demonstrating what you are capable of. This is the joy and brilliance of an 'open' competition. It's not just for the top seeds with lots of experience. If we approached hiring in the same way, how many Luke's would we discover and give opportunity to? 3. Potential needs nuturing. Luke has a great coach and received lots of encouragement. There is talent and capability out there and the role of a hiring manager today is not simply to 'manage' but also to 'develop'. In a world short of digital skills and growing social inequality, hiring for potential and developing skills should be the goal of every organisation. So as you prepare for 2024 and new goals, skills-based hiring will be on many of your company plans - think carefully about how you can open up your talent pipeline to the 'Lukes' of the world. There are pioneers already out there too: Siemens, Molson Coors Beverage Company, Brakes UK #skillsbasedhiring #scrapthecv #hiring #arcticshores

I conducted our company's town hall meeting yesterday to foster alignment and ensure unified progress. From the feedback from our staff, it was evident that the event was well-received and beneficial. Here are some reasons why regular town hall meetings could be advantageous for your organization: 1. Enhancing Transparency and Fostering Trust 2. Boosting Employee Engagement 3. Encouraging Cohesion and Unity 4. Shaping Company Culture 5. Acknowledging and Celebrating Achievements 6. Facilitating Immediate Feedback As a leader, the most significant value emerged from gaining direct employee feedback. Their perspective on our mission, vision, core values, and future trajectory was enlightening. These insights help pinpoint areas of improvement by bringing to light any potential frustrations or suggestions for enhancement. One of our core values is "Every Voice Matters." We take this very seriously. Whether you're a newcomer or a veteran within our organization, your voice matters and is heard. If this isn't a priority for your company, I'd run. With all that said, I am proud of our team and what we've accomplished so far in 2023 at 3PL Systems, Inc! #corevalues #3plsystems #teamgrowth #neverstopimproving #alignment

Last week - the Valiant Events team headed off to Hobart for our new financial year conference. We spent four days, learning, sharing and laughing a lot. Spending this time with my team; three things really stood out about the incredible people that make up the Valiant team: Bravery - while sharing our personal branding pathways; I learnt so much about the brave decisions and scenarios each and everyone of the team have faced in their own ways. All of us have made bold choices and overcome many hurdles to end up together in that room in Hobart - and it was incredibly inspiring. Vulnerability - the entire team presented their true selves and were so open and honest with their stories, their strengths and their struggles. Above all else; it makes me incredibly proud to be a part of fostering an environment that allows the team to feel as though they can be their authentic self. Friendship - Every minute we spent together can only be described as joyful. Cliché as it sounds; or connections in so many ways surpass that of collages. There were so many laughs and so much support. I am excited knowing that in my team I know I have friends for life. In four days - I really understand we have something special. The Valiant - Hire with Style point of difference at it's core is our people. When you work with our teams, you are working with Brave, Authentic and Experienced individuals; that have a passion for what they do; and are extremely invested in seeing you succeed.
