📝 𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐉𝐨𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 As I reflect on my journey with Moussechoco, I am reminded of the profound joy that comes from the simple act of gifting. Whether it’s a meticulously crafted chocolate, a beautifully designed dessert, or a thoughtful token of appreciation, the true value lies in the smiles and happiness it brings to others. One memory that stands out is from a corporate event we catered for a leading financial services firm. The CEO, a well-respected figure in the industry, personally thanked me, saying, “𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔 𝒃𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒂 𝒕𝒐𝒖𝒄𝒉 𝒐𝒇 𝒔𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒕𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒄𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒃𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔, 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒄𝒄𝒂𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒍𝒚 𝒎𝒆𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆.” Moments like these reaffirm why I embarked on this journey - to create moments of joy and connection. In the dynamic industries of financial services, IT, pharmaceuticals, real estate, and beyond, it's easy to get caught up in the hustle. But let's not forget the importance of appreciation and the power of a thoughtful gift. It's these little gestures that foster stronger relationships, boost team morale, and create lasting memories. As we approach another busy week, I encourage you to think about the last time you gifted something meaningful. 𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒅𝒊𝒅 𝒊𝒕 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒑𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍? 𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒅𝒊𝒅 𝒊𝒕 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍? 🎁 𝐉𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐣𝐨𝐲: Let’s make gifting an integral part of our corporate culture. Whether it's for a milestone celebration, a team achievement, or just because, let’s commit to making those around us feel valued and appreciated. 👉 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: If you’re planning a corporate event or looking for unique ways to appreciate your team, let's connect! I’d love to help you bring a touch of sweetness and joy to your next event. #SaturdayReflections #CorporateGifting #TeamMorale #MousseChoco #FinancialServices #IT #Pharmaceuticals #RealEstate #Healthcare #InvestmentBanking #ManagementConsulting #EventPlanning #BusinessGrowth #Leadership #EmployeeEngagement

"A Cup of #Inspiration: Lessons Learned from My First Corporate Job" Coming from a lower-middle-class family, the concept of "coffee" was #foreign to me. For us, it was always about tea. I still remember my first day in the #corporate world on 1st November 2011—a world of suits, ties, and an overwhelming amount of #data. It was then that I realized how crucial data is to business success. During my initial months, I noticed a trend: most of the #CXOs were drinking black coffee. Curious and wanting to fit in, I decided to try it. My #first experience? Not great. The taste was bitter and strong, unlike anything I'd had before. But I thought, "If the #CXOs are drinking it, there must be something good about it." So, I persisted. What started as a "style statement" eventually became a daily habit. It's funny how we often adopt behaviors by observing those we #look up to, believing that it might lead us to #success as well. Life has a way of #teaching us in #unexpected ways, and sometimes, it's through something as simple as a cup of coffee. #LifeLessons #CareerJourney #BlackCoffee #CorporateLife #Inspiration

☕ Life is Like a Cup of Coffee: The Non-Linear Brew of Success ☕ Just like the perfect cup of coffee, our journey to success is never just straight espresso. It’s a complex latte art of experiences, with a blend of highs like the frothy top of a cappuccino and lows like the bitter grounds at the end of a French press. 📈 Imagine your progress graph as a coffee stain on a napkin – it’s not a tidy line but a series of splashes, each telling a story of a spill, a sip, and a savoured moment. It starts with “I started…” like the first sip in the morning, awakening your senses and ambitions. Then comes the “I grew a little…” phase, where you add a bit of sugar, learning and sweetening your skills. But beware, “Things went downhill for a bit…” as sometimes you overestimate how much sugar you need, and the taste gets overwhelming. Yet, like adding a splash of milk, “I learned things got better.” You balance out the flavors, and your progress smoothens out. Sure, “Then I struggled,” because who hasn’t spilled their coffee while juggling a dozen tasks? But remember, “And I’ll keep going because I picked myself up.” Just like how we wipe the spill and refill our cup, we learn from our mistakes and pour ourselves another chance to succeed. So, coffee cups up to the messy, beautiful, and non-linear journey of growth. Here’s to embracing every spill and every refill, because that’s how we brew the rich tapestry of our careers. Cheers to the grind! ☕💼 #TomCoffee #caffeinatedwriting #creativewriting #progress #motivation #SuccessIsABrew #keepgoing USG Professionals Belgium RGF Staffing Belgium

One month done and the team's blowing up (with an honourable H/T to the rest of the London, Manchester and Glasgow teams). So, what have Gill Huber and I learned from this posse of hyper-bright over-achievers, who have unashamedly challenged and pushed us from Day 1? Talent wins. Every time. Every day. - Hire the people who want to make a difference. Then let them make the difference. Believe the hype: Culture eats strategy for breakfast. - Build it strong from the inside. Nurture it, grow it, celebrate and release it to make it your unfair advantage. Embrace 'being helpful'. - If you're punching above your weight with people who are already smart, creative and nice make sure you bring at least one thing to the party. Then commit to over-deliver. Know you're all in or all out. - Focus on what's making the biggest difference, then rinse, repeat and go again. Let everyone in - In Real Life is real life. Take down the barriers to working at work and make it the place people want to be. Food, drinks, dogs, friends, speakers, clients, partners all working and not working in the same space leads to bigger ideas and better outcomes for all. And that's where the return comes. Big thanks you wonderful people. We'll be back making the tea next week. And to Miguel Mollasgo, fly high my friend. Go set the world on fire because you will be the biggest thing in fashion in the next few years. You read it here first. #connectingthemarketingworld

As we reach mid-December, it's a pivotal time in the professional calendar to both reflect on the past year and look forward to new opportunities. This period is not just about festive celebrations but also about recognizing the collaborative efforts and achievements within our professional networks. December serves as a reminder of the collective journey we've undertaken in the professional sphere. It's a time to celebrate the perseverance, innovation, and teamwork that have characterized our year. These moments of achievement are akin to the shared experiences we often associate with social gatherings in bars, where items like beer towers, purchased by brands for promotional purposes, become focal points of connection and celebration. In our professional lives, these beer towers can be seen as metaphors for the networks and relationships we build. They remind us of the importance of collaboration and the shared experiences that strengthen our professional bonds. As we gather, whether for end-of-year celebrations or casual meet-ups, these symbols of hospitality and communal enjoyment mirror the spirit of unity and cooperation in our work environments. As we look towards the end of December and beyond, let's embrace the chance to fortify our professional relationships and lay the groundwork for future successes. This month is an opportunity to share insights, celebrate each other's successes, and set ambitious goals for the upcoming year. Let's raise a metaphorical glass to a year of hard work and collaboration and to the exciting possibilities that lie ahead. Join the conversation: How are you commemorating your professional achievements this December? #TheBeerGiraffe#BeerIndustry #YearEndCelebrations 🍻💼🌟

As part of our work culture at EMD International A/S, we have “Friday GetTogethers” - time for breakfast followed by engaging presentations on diverse topics. This Friday, my colleague and I are preparing a presentation about a topic close to our hearts 😉 Boosting our company's presence on LinkedIn by encouraging our colleagues to contribute to promoting #EMD by writing their own posts. You may or may not realize how big of an impact each of us can have on the business account’s performance (the picture below speaks for itself). However, I got to the point in the presentation where I would like to show my colleagues some examples of well written LinkedIn posts. And what have I realized? That I almost never do it myself! Of course, I post from our business account, but not so much from the private one. Why is that? It is simply not that easy 😥 I am very much aware of that. Many of us fear expressing opinions or making mistakes that could be quickly pointed out. So, before I urge my colleagues to dive into promoting the company on LinkedIn, I thought it would be unfair if I don't practice what I preach. Starting with this post! And more to come 😊 #b2bmarketing #linkedinstrategy #companyculture

"Coffee" ☕ Hellooo! It's been a while, rightt?! But here we are with story #4 of #thingsilearnedatworktoday! It's a new month, a new day, and I hope everyone's having a good week so far 🫶🏻 Did you know that I'm the only one among my friends who doesn't like coffee? It's crazy. They love coffee from the bottom of their hearts, and here I am like, "Ew, I hate that smell." Anyway, it doesn't mean I've never had coffee, but very rarely, and I have a fair idea of what a REALLY GOOD coffee smells and tastes like. And if you look around, you'll see a hundred and one coffee shops because, guess what, everyone's a barista! So, I usually go to this coffee shop, only for their vanilla milkshake, which is so good. For once, I decided to have a cappuccino there, and it was HORRIBLE! It tasted like water and milk, and I don't know, it just wasn’t right. This made me think about how one can call themselves a barista, but only if you're good at what you do, know what you're doing, and are a specialist in it, will you get your coffee right. Similarly, in whatever we do at work, everyone has to play a different role, big or small. I believe that it's important for you to be a specialist in what you're doing and do what you do best. Of course, it takes time to learn and get there, but it's crucial that we know the ins and outs of everything we do. This applies to leaders too. Only if they know what they are doing can they lead, guide, and inspire others. Makes sense? #worklife #careerjourney #linkedinlearning #experience Disclaimer: Although this series is titled "things I learned at work today," the content is not solely based on my activities at my workplace and does not reflect my daily tasks.

High growth companies put purpose {passion or cause} at the core of their strategy and regularly assess their alignment to their purpose. While purpose remains static at the core, the work to stay focused on it intentional. EOS Worldwide

As entrepreneurs and business leaders, recognising purpose as the pivotal element of business strategy can drastically reshape our approach and trajectory toward success. Embedding purpose at the heart of entrepreneurial vision not only energizes and aligns team but also strengthens trust with customers, sets us apart in the industry, and fuels sustainable growth. It's the game changer that can accelerate performance and cultivate a legacy of impact. Revisiting the strategic blueprint with purpose as your cornerstone, and watch as it casts a new light on every aspect of your business. #StrategicPurpose #BusinessGameChanger #EntrepreneurialSuccess

I get it defining a companies purpose can be imparative to internal and external messenging. However, how about going deeper to gain understanding of the purpose. If you understand a companies and the Person’s Values you can get there. We should be measuring and making all our decisions, goals and work choices based upon our values. A consistent connection to values (your personal and the companies) will deliver increased retention rate and employee happiness. #values #goalsettting #employeeretention #happiness
