Platinum Recruiting Group’s Post

Had an amazing breakfast with a friend and mentor— he’s an RVP that still personally produces because he enjoys helping the “right client.” We chatted about titles and how everyone has different perspectives about them. We chatted about ideal clients in both of our spaces. (We’re in different industries.) We chatted about the feeling of validation and the sense of accomplishment you get after closing a deal. It made me realize, that I too, enjoy the same thing. Winners like to know they’re winning. How do you know you’re winning? And even further— How does your team know they’re winning?

Ready for Q2? Let's crush those goals!  Take a moment to review what's been working for you over the past 3 months, and tweak what isn't.  But remember, it's okay if things didn't go exactly as planned.

We talk about why it's important to focus on the plan rather than just the goal. The goal is the desired outcome, but the plan is the key to actually achieving that goal. Celebrate the small wins along the way, as that builds confidence for the bigger win.

To any leaders in tech reading this, remember this today: your team's success is your success, and your success is your team’s success. We all need to celebrate the wins more. It can be too easy to just wait and then the time has passed! What's one thing your team nailed recently?  Share it proudly! It's these moments that build team spirit and drive everyone forward.

What’s worth celebrating? Any and all progress. Seriously - it all counts. These days, we’ve been conditioned to only celebrate “big wins:” - Losing a certain amount of weight - Making a certain amount of money - Building a successful business There’s nothing wrong with celebrating big wins. After all, we’ve earned them, and we deserve to celebrate. But we ALSO deserve to celebrate all the tiny wins along that way that got us there: - The workout you completed even though you weren’t “feeling it” - The successful project meeting that you facilitated that moved things forward - The extra time you invested in your personal passions, even when it was hard to find Any progress you make in any area of your life that’s important to you deserves to be celebrated. By doing so, you create a positive feedback loop that keeps you focused on taking one small step at a time. What’s something you want to celebrate today? Feel free to share so we can all celebrate with you. Have a great day today. Love you lots. <3 Ian

When you pay attention, you will find that there are many little wins that lead you to the grand finale.

He was doing the work. Now, he's leading the team! Did you miss the release of my interview with Eric Armour? If so, there's a link to watch it down below. But first, here's a bit about Eric. In the interview, Eric discusses how he faced the challenge of transitioning from a technician servicing and repairing heavy equipment in the shop to leading techs working in the shop and the field (on the road working out of a service truck). Learn about the trying times Eric and his team went through during the 10 months when they didn't have a service manager (before he became the service manager). Discover how Eric overcame the odds being stacked against him with the field techs because he had no experience as a field tech. Develop an understanding of how Eric learned that applying leadership principles to develop your team can be much more challenging than applying them to develop yourself. In this interview, Eric shares a bit of the path he's traveled to be where he is today, how choosing to become intentional about personal development has helped him personally as he's become much better at unleashing his team's potential, and how it's helped him professionally as he continues his climb up the corporate ladder. Eric is the Service Manager at Yancey Bros. Co. leading a team of service technicians in the shop and in the field. He and his team focus exclusively on maintaining heavy duty Caterpillar equipment.

Today, coming in hot after a busy weekend! I'm taking a moment to celebrate the small wins – those little victories that often go unnoticed but deserve to be celebrated nonetheless. In a world that's constantly moving at lightning speed, it's easy to get caught up in the pursuit of big goals and forget to acknowledge the small victories or moments along the way. But here's the thing: those small wins? They add up. They're the building blocks of success, the milestones that mark our progress, and the moments that remind us why we do what we do. Whether it's landing a new client, mastering a new skill, or simply making it through a challenging day, every small win deserves recognition. It's about embracing the journey, finding joy in the process, and celebrating the moments that make our professional and personal lives meaningful. Take a moment to acknowledge your achievements, no matter how small, and celebrate the progress you've made. I'd love to hear about your small wins lately! Drop a comment below and share the joy. Remember, every step forward is worth celebrating!
