Together, they challenged norms and elevated each other's performances, proving that success can be shared. 2. 🌟Integrity Always Wins🌟: Their exemplary integrity reminds us of the importance of upholding ethical standards in our professional endeavours. We build trust and foster a positive work environment by prioritising honesty and fairness. 3. 🌟Celebrate Unity🌟: Let's embrace moments of unity and connection in our workplaces. We create stronger, more resilient teams by celebrating each other's successes and fostering a culture of support.

We struck GOLD in Santiago! These pictures mean more to me than just a trip to the Pan Am Games. They are proof that there are “Breakers” in your organization. As Breaking (Breakdancing) makes its way onto the global stage, I can’t help but think about where we started and what Breaking really represents. This isn’t just about an art/hobby turned sport; it’s about the unexpected. It’s about the ‘underground Hip Hop culture’ shining when given the opportunity. In every organization, there are ‘breakers’... talented people beneath the surface, overlooked and misunderstood, waiting for their stage. They’re innovators, disruptors, and creators, often thought of as people who ‘don’t fit the culture’, because they don’t look or sound like the typical employee. You might see them as unprofessional, but I promise you, if we listen, and really see what they’re about, and if we gave them their stage, just like the Olympics did for Breaking, they would thrive! Look for those people who seem a little odd, or don’t think the same way and help them grow in your organization. Cultivate an environment where the unconventional can become the gold standard. Before they even announced Breaking in the Olympics, B-Boy Phil Wizard was already great as he won around the world a few years ago. And him being chosen as the flag bearer was extra special. It meant he represented the entire country and all of sport, by being true to himself and showcasing his art. Identify, nurture, and elevate the hidden breakers in your team. Their gold medal performance is just an opportunity away. #BreakingBarriers #Teamwork #Innovation #GoldMedalMindset

We decided very early on that Excellence was going to be one of our core values at More than Equal. We discussed and debated these values at length (and if you haven’t condensed your corporate core values down to four words then try it - it is very revealing about who you are and who you want to be). You might think that excellence is something that is a universal value and is too vague to be meaningful. Not so. Remember, you have only 4 values to choose as your guiding and defining values so to include one is to exclude others. This core value has come to life in many ways. In the way that we conduct our research, in the way that we present ourselves, in the way that we execute projects - but most importantly in the way that we have recruited. The quality of the team that has been put together is a testament to this core value (and it is my good luck to be working with them!) And….not forgetting the absolute essence of Excellence that comes with our founders; Karel Komarek and David Coulthard Thanks to you all for giving up super comfortable positions to come and work at what is a small start up with a big mission.

On Friday, as part of Annual Business Meeting, we heard from an incredible guest speaker, Veronica Shanti Pereira. Shanti, a track and field superstar, the fastest woman in Asia, and now Olympian, shared with us her recipe for a success race: 1) 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: She trained for months, with the guidance of a coach - twice a day with a strict diet. 2) 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: Together they developed a race plan for the day of the race. 3) 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭: Before the race she had already decided that she was going to win. 4) 𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐞: She executed her plan to perfection. 5) 𝐖𝐢𝐧: She won. 𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐟𝐭 𝐮𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐠 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲: 💥 “Focus on what you can control” 💥 “Love what you do” 💥 “Big Goals require Big Commitment” #inspiration #goals #planningforsuccess #singapore

🌟 Reflecting on Memories and Celebrating Achievements 🌟 One year ago today, we embarked on an incredible journey, an event that pushed boundaries, challenged us, and ultimately, led to remarkable achievements, including being a finalist in the Shopping Centre Council of Australia awards for 2023. Today, I found myself reminiscing about the amazing International Table Tennis Federation 5 day event, that saw us convert a 2,000sqm concrete shell into a world champaionship approved arena which was live streamed to over 20 countries. It reminded me of the importance of celebrating our successes, both big and small. In our fast-paced lives, it’s easy to move forward without taking a moment to acknowledge how far we’ve come. But reflecting on that event served as a powerful reminder that celebrating our achievements is not just a luxury; it’s a necessity. It’s a chance to appreciate the hard work, dedication, and collaboration that went into making those accomplishments a reality. It’s an opportunity to express gratitude to the incredible individuals who stood by us every step of the way. Moving forward, I’m committed to making celebration a more integral part of my journey. I believe we should all take a pause, look back, and cherish our accomplishments. It fuels our motivation, builds a positive mindset, and strengthens our bonds as a team. So, let’s remember to celebrate our achievements, no matter how big or small. It’s not just about looking back; it’s about powering forward with renewed energy, passion, and determination. Here’s to many more memorable events and countless reasons to celebrate together! #Achievements #Reflection #Celebration #OneYearAgo #Gratitude

There are so many lessons that can be learned from these two amazing athletes! - Your competition makes you better. - Accept and move forward with constructive criticism from those "on your team." - Find people who inspire you and learn from them. - Great achievement requires great dedication. And my favorite message - WHO YOU ARE is much more important and can have a longer-lasting impact than WHAT YOU DO! I'm so grateful to have many mentors who focus on the WHO instead of the WHAT! #LearnFromLegends #InspirationEverywhere #MentorshipMatters https://lnkd.in/gsJTz68q

Have you ever found yourself caught in the “buy-in” Bermuda Triangle? It's that moment when you have a brilliant new idea, but you need everyone's agreement before it takes off. 🤷♂️ Ever sought a thumbs-up from someone you've never even met? 😆 Why not embrace the “Get-In & Jump-In” mentality? Picture an environment where we champion a culture of trust and initiative rather than chasing after endless approvals. 💪 A setting where the response to new ideas is “How can I assist?” rather than “Convince me.” A spirit that encourages us to dive right in, team up, and bring those fantastic concepts to life! 🚀 The next chapter of collaboration in our interconnected world won't cater to the stamp collection mindset. It's reserved for those who relish the adventure of exploration, innovation, and creating collective magic. So, are you ready? In the new slang that I just learned from my daughters, "Go slay, kings."👑✨
