The Power of Mentorship is real and a true career springboard. Invest in yourself with GBTA WINiT 1:1 Mentorship.

Applying for a vacancy is the most frustrating thing next to playing or watching people play golf. You either have what it takes or you don’t. Does it not sometimes feel people look at your CV trying to find the reason why you should not get the postition? Lack of experience, language, software and last but not the least…age. The more you apply the more difficult it becomes to stay positive and staying focused as the “unfornately” start to a sentence taps the emotional energy out of you. There are no rules to how many times you must try, how many times you will fail but there is a global philosophy that winners never quit. All I can say is…Don’t quit. Soon…very soon.

Guess who’s at the top of the leaderboard? 😀 I competed in the general trivia quiz this afternoon and had an exciting come from behind victory! 🏆 While it was all in good fun, it got me thinking about the role competition plays in our professional lives. 🏅 Striving for Excellence Competing encourages us to push our boundaries and strive for excellence. Whether it's a trivia contest or a challenging project at work, competition fuels our drive to improve and succeed. 🧠 Continuous Learning Trivia contests require a wide range of knowledge and quick thinking, just like our professional roles. Embracing competition means constantly learning and staying sharp. It keeps us on our toes and helps us stay ahead in our field. 💪 Resilience and Adaptability Winning isn't always easy. It requires resilience to overcome setbacks and adaptability to new challenges. These traits are invaluable in our careers, helping us navigate the ups and downs with grace and determination. 🎯 Goal Setting and Achievement Setting goals and working towards them is a key aspect of both competition and professional success. Celebrating wins, no matter how small, reinforces our motivation and commitment to achieving our larger goals. 🔄 Continuous Improvement Finally, competition encourages us to evaluate our performance and seek areas for improvement. It's about more than just winning—it's about growing, learning, and becoming better each day. I also won the bean bag toss this morning, but there wasn’t a lot of competition. 😂 The prize closet now has a phone pop-knob and a usb stick. #ProfessionalGrowth #Competition #ContinuousImprovement #Learning #TeamSpirit #GoalSetting #Resilience #ImOnABoat #TriviaAce

As many of you know by now, I had to opportunity to take stock of where I am at this stage of my career and where I want to go. Having faced the challenges life throws at you, I've come to learn that rather seeing the challenge as a setback, taking the positive approach of seeing setbacks as an opportunity to transform and learn serves one much better. Below is a picture of the 100m final for men at the most recent Olympics that I've always enjoyed watching. You may recall that Carl Lewis won the controversial 1988 100m event in a time of 9.92. This year the slowest of the 8 individuals, Oblique Seville from Jamaica, finished with a time of 9.91.... All 8 finalists would have won gold in 1988 and would have beaten the famous Carl Lewis. This leads me to the importance of continuous learning, re-evaluating your habits, and adapting your ways by CHOOSING to transform into a better and improved version of yourself. By embracing the challenges, despite the discomfort they present, it allows you to learn, grow, become more resilient and stronger on the other side. You learn to become more compassionate and adaptive as individual. If you don't embrace them, you may face the reality of no longer being included in the finals despite good historic reputation or credentials..... I would encourage each person that goes through a challenging time to try and remain positive and adaptive in seeking opportunities to self-observe, self-evaluate, to self-improve. I call this process as transforming from survival mode to thriving mode through adaptitude.
