It's hard to believe that just at the beginning of 2023, I started my journey at #Gartner. Today, I'm humbled to call myself a Senior Account Management Specialist after months of preparation and support from my amazing manager Kelcy Niccum, and my lovely team. Reflecting on this whirlwind adventure, five key lessons have emerged: 1. Vulnerability trumps perfection: I learned that sharing my struggles and failures got me closer to my success stories. 2. Curating a 12-week year: 1-2 big goals, break down your overall goals and objectives into smaller, more manageable quarterly plans. This involves setting specific goals, outlining key initiatives and tasks, and assigning resources for each quarter. 3. Community thrives on giving: Don't just consume, contribute. Share your knowledge, offer support, and celebrate others' wins. Kelcy Niccum & Keily J. Vasquez has been key to developing this culture on our team. 4. Stories paint vivid pictures: Facts tell, stories show. Active listening and understanding of the pain points. Matthew Petek, Emily Ayres, & Chandler Kennedy--- thank you for your support along the way. 5. Consistency is the backbone of trust: Show up, engage, and deliver value regularly. I wouldn't be here without the unwavering support from an Employee-centric culture at Gartner. Thank you, Matthew K. Mullery and Michael Kirsten. Forever grateful to be on the R&D team supporting top innovation leaders. Here's to a strong start in Q1 of 2024. #CareerGrowth #CommunityBuilding #NewBeginnings #Grateful

As a #community leader, this is the best #birthday gift I could ask for...*cough*... if you've yet to send me something, I guess a comment on this post will do!😉 What could be better than waking up to the following update from Gartner Peer Community team members Liz, Jada, and Michelle?!?! 🎉Eight of our Product Management Ambassadors registered for a group discussion yesterday, all eight showed up! 🎉Together they covered in detail over 10 questions from their peers on the #GartnerPeerCommunity (GPC) platform! 🎉Everyone got a chance to participate and contribute - the discourse was polite, professional, and informative - but as you can tell by the photo - some fun was had too! 🎉The feedback from our attendees afterwards was positive, but also included some great suggestions on how to improve future discussions! 🎉Their Ambassador-grade contributions will be posted on GPC so that thousands of other verified #productmanagement peers can learn and also join the discussion!

The company with the best leadership in the U.S. isn’t a tech titan or hospitality giant: It’s management consulting firm Bain & Company. That’s according to Glassdoor, which released on Tuesday its inaugural 50 Best-Led Companies ranking. The list measures how effectively bosses communicate and foster healthy company cultures, based on the workplace review website’s anonymous employee ratings. Beyond Bain, the tech industry does occupy much of the list — 12 companies, more than any other sector. Consulting, finance and retail are the next-most represented industries, with six companies appearing from each. Tap here to see the full list. ⬇️

⚠️ SPOILER ALERT: cheesy post ahead! 🧀   Last week, the P&G UK Sales Organisation got the chance to spend two days training, learning, and celebrating together. It was great to catch up with so many colleagues, old and new - especially those you don't get to work with day-to-day.   A common theme was how fast the years have gone by, for all of us, and what it is that keeps us coming to work each day. 🗓   Three things kept coming up: 👥 The incredible and inspiring people at P&G. Everyone I know has made lifelong friends here. That's not something you find everywhere. 💡 The innovative brands, product launches, and cutting-edge technology that you get to work on every day. ⏱ The rapid pace of change and the fact that no two days are the same.   When I joined P&G 11 years ago I had no idea what to expect. Honestly, I just wanted to get my first pay check, learn fast, and grab every opportunity that was available.   More than a decade later it's a privilege to still be working at a company recognised for being #1 in our industry for five consecutive years and one of Fortune World’s Most Admired Companies!   Congratulations to our employees around the World for their focus on serving consumers and making their lives a little bit better every day – and thanks to Fortune #MostAdmiredCos for noticing!   Learn more about our workforce: https://us.pg.com/blogs/ #PGemployee #FMCG #fmcgindustry #recognition
