Happy East and South East Asian Heritage Month! I was born in Ubon Ratchathani, commonly known as Ubon, located in the northeastern Isaan region of Thailand. At the age of nine, I moved to Edinburgh, Scotland with my mum. Learning a completely new language and making new friends was definitely a challenge, but I was fortunate to join a small primary school with friendly and welcoming staff and classmates who made me feel accepted from day one. To celebrate this year’s ESEA Heritage month, I’d like to share my favourite restaurant in London – Lao Cafe in Covent Garden. This cozy restaurant serves authentic and delicious Lao/Isaan food, known for its hot and flavourful dishes, thanks to the use of many herbs, seasonings, and spicy Thai chilies🌶️ The picture is of me in Lao Cafe for the first time in 2018 with some of my favourite dishes, including Tum Taad (spicy papaya salad platter), Tom Zab (spicy broth with lots of herbs) and Tub wan (pork liver salad). Although I don’t have the opportunity to visit Thailand often, a trip to Lao Cafe always helps me feel closer to my birth country. Do you have a favourite East or Southeast Asian dish? Let’s celebrate and learn more about the rich cultures and traditions of East and South East Asia together #ESEAHM2024!✨

Something I'm very passionate about - company culture. Your company culture will make or break your business. It's as simple as that. And, if you haven't been prioritising it thus far, then please use this as your reminder to do so! What else do you think makes a healthy company culture? Is there anything missing?

I was born and raised in Taiwan and took a leap of faith by moving to the UK solo in 2012. I've called this place home ever since. My Taiwanese family and I try to reunite every 1-2 years, but the miles between us make it a bit of a challenge. September always brings a wave of nostalgia for me, both culturally and personally. Growing up, the Mid-Autumn Festival (or Moon Festival) was a highlight of the year - staying up late, moon-gazing, munching on delicious mooncakes🥮, and enjoying BBQs with my family. While I won't be with them this year, I'm planning to bring a bit of that festive spirit to my British family here, sharing a taste of my ESEA heritage. Do you have any ESEA friends or colleagues? If so, now's the perfect time to ask them about their celebrations. You might learn something new - and make them smile! 😉 Oh, and here's a quirky titbit for you: In Taiwan, it’s considered bad luck to point at the moon with your fingers. Superstition or not, I’d rather not risk it! Pic: Throwback to 2016 - painted our family’s faces (and my parents' cat!) on pomelos. Happy East and South East Asian Heritage Month!

In two weeks time I’ll be exhibiting some of my photographs at the Mall Galleries in London. I’m nearly ready, the images are printed and framed, and I’m really pleased with the result. It took weeks to select them, to decide on their finished size, choose a frame style, and a host of other decisions including how to price them. There so much I’ve learned, much about photography, more about my love of it. Much that can be applied in life, it’s already been a fabulous experience and the best bit is to come. If you can be in London do pop in and say hello. I’m there most days. As well as my images there will be a wide range of imagery and techniques to see, there’s bound to be some that make you stop and stare in wonder. Let me know in the comments if you will be able to pop in. #photography #landscapephotography #london #exhibition

The value of part-time summer jobs for teens is truly remarkable!   Since my son turned 14 in July, I've seen him grow so much, especially after he started working at our local outdoor pool and ice cream shop. It all began when he asked to go on a school trip to New York next year. We agreed, but I asked him to contribute 20% of the cost—£500.   He worked hard to find a job – going to one place 5x to ask for a trial shift - and is thrilled to earn his own money. The pride he felt handing over his first pay packet was incredible, and he's eagerly awaiting the first deposit into his account for the other job.   But the benefits of part-time work go beyond the money. His confidence has soared, he's thriving in customer service, and his perspective on the world has shifted. He's not just taller than me now; his sense of responsibility and our relationship have both developed.   Teenage years can be challenging, and it's not always smooth sailing, but I’m secretly so proud of him.   What I’ve learned: I should have set the bar higher—20% was too low. Kids need responsibility and opportunities. Risk and reward are powerful teachers. It's okay for my boys to outgrow me.   #fatherandson  #teenagers #parenting #summerjobs

A high performance culture isn't a happy accident, it takes work and thought. There’s a common misconception that high-performance cultures are purely profit-focused, but that’s far from the truth. True high performance culture is people-driven and values-centred. When you cultivate an environment where teams feel motivated, supported, and clear on their roles, the results naturally follow. 🔗Here’s a great read on 'What makes a High Performance Culture': https://lnkd.in/ejGdVkDQ What does high performance culture mean to you?

Why isn’t your new defined company culture gaining traction?   I often chat with companies that have poured time and money into shaping their culture but are not seeing the behavioural change, mindset and working practices shift that they were anticipating.   They’ve crafted the ideal culture - clear purpose, strong vision, and solid values. They’ve even got a communications plan and catchy branding, with posters to match. But when the dust settles, nothing’s really changed. People slip back into old habits, and the culture remains static.   Why? Because they haven’t done the necessary work to embed it.   Real behavioural change takes more than a glossy launch; it’s a process. Don’t let your culture change stall & you people slip back to their old ways of working & thinking - embed it, live it, and make it stick.   If you need help with embedding your company culture or have any questions, DM me or get in touch via our website 👉 https://lnkd.in/gMq7UnSm   #CultureEmbedding #CultureMatters #CulturalInsights #EmbeddingCulture #CultureInnovation #InnovativeChange
