The Executive Centre

Recently, at our Collins Place Centre in Melbourne, our TEC Community™️ held an engaging lunch and learn session called "People Pleasing—Breaking the Cycle." This event was led by Joanne Hay (Li), our Director of Leadership Development, who shared valuable insights with our Members. Her presentation focused on our need to seek approval from others and offered practical advice on how individuals can break free from this pattern to embrace their authentic selves and unleash their maximum potential. Here are some key takeaways: 🔎 Understand your root cause: People-pleasing can stem from various things, such as your upbringing and want to meet social and cultural expectations. However, you can initiate change by identifying your triggers and patterns through self-reflection. 💪 Techniques to break the cycle: Learn how to set boundaries and say no. Start with small requests and recognise that you can decline politely but firmly. If refusing outright isn't an option, create a list of compromise strategies you can use. 🥰 Embrace your authentic self: Seek out relationships and communities with supportive individuals who embrace you for who you are and provide you with a nurturing environment that allows you to grow and express yourself freely. #Australia #TipsForSuccess

Our TEC Community™ recently hosted CoreNet Global Australia Chapter’s CRE Tech Event at our Collins Square Centre in Melbourne. The enlightening session led by John Corbett, Country Real Estate Manager, ANZ for ABB, focused on measuring digital performance and effectively scaling the modern workplace inventory. The event provided Members with essential insights and practical advice on making strategic investments in technology to improve operational efficiency. Here are the key takeaways: 📱Electrical efficiency & scaling digitally: Digitally integrated companies can reduce device dependency over time while meeting the increased digital demand, allowing them to scale effectively and meet ESG goals. Companies can assess their technology infrastructure by conducting a thorough inventory audit, identifying gaps, and spotting outdated equipment. Based on these findings, companies can outline scaling steps while accommodating growing digital demands. 💡 Strategic technology investments: Investing in smart devices that are effortless, multi-functional, and scalable in multiples can help companies achieve efficient long-term scalability. These devices are often more secure, efficient, and self-healing, benefiting the business financially. Additionally, implementing energy-efficient devices is crucial for reducing power consumption and enhancing sustainability efforts. 🗃️ Modern workplace inventory: Companies should prioritise investments in wireless access points, video endpoints, LAN networks, and network switching technologies to support efficient scaling. Regularly monitoring and measuring digital performance metrics is vital for tracking progress and identifying areas for further improvement. #Australia #Innovation #Technology

“The rise in demand for ESG-compliant buildings is evident as MNCs and GCCs become more stringent about their ESG goals, emphasising occupancy in green buildings across their global real estate portfolios. However, the availability of green buildings in India will take some time to match the global average.” In a recent article published by Business Standard, Manish Khedia, MCR, our Managing Director of West India, South India, and Sri Lanka, shared his insights on the growing demand for and investment in ESG-compliant buildings in India. Manish emphasised that addressing the gap between the demand and supply of green buildings is crucial for India to remain competitive in attracting and retaining global businesses committed to ESG standards. TEC will also be increasing our investments in ESG initiatives and will allocate 5-8% of our total investments to meet the rising demand for green buildings from our Members.

Our TEC Community™ is excited to have recently partnered with the Bank of Queensland to host the “Economic Insights, Analysing Year-end and New Federal Budgets” event at our Sydney Place Centre in Australia. During the session, Peter Munckton, Chief Economist and Head of Market Strategy, provided invaluable insights into Australia's economic and financial market landscape and a clearer understanding of the dynamics needed to navigate the challenges and opportunities ahead. Here are three key takeaways: 💸 Strengthening Cash Flow: Australian households have been experiencing a challenging cash flow situation, which has constrained their discretionary spending and necessitated careful budgeting and prioritization of essential expenses. However, recent economic forecasts paint a more optimistic picture, projecting an improvement in the cash flow situation soon. 📈 Navigating Economic Boundaries: The Australian economy has reached a critical juncture. The local market is declining despite grappling with higher inflation compared to peer economies. Decisive actions by individuals and businesses to stimulate economic growth and diversify sectors can help prevent further decline and create new opportunities. 💼 The Potential of Federal Budgets:  The new federal budgets aim to stimulate demand and drive economic growth. However, this may be underestimated due to the masking effect of high commodity prices. These inflated prices temporarily boost revenue, potentially leading to complacency and a delay in necessary reforms.
