🎉 Today marks my two-year anniversary in the corporate world! 🎉 Growing up, I always admired the corporate world for its sophistication, but fate led me down a different path. I found myself immersed in the vibrant world of photography, capturing the magic of wedding moments for a decade. And you know what? I wouldn't change a thing! When I moved to Dubai, it was a whirlwind adventure. As Africans, we are used to proving ourselves through actions rather than credentials(our credentials usually don't work outside our countries for some reason), a story for another day! Joining Alshaya Group was a turning point. They've nurtured me into the content editor I am Today, championing social learning through user-generated content. Here are a few nuggets of wisdom I've picked up along the way: 🗣️ Communication: Listening more than talking has been a game-changer. In a diverse environment like ours, there's always something new to learn. 💡 Embracing Challenges: It's OK not to be OK sometimes. Collaboration is critical, even with those you may clash with. Managing emotions is crucial, and I'm diving into the world of emotional intelligence to master this. 📚 Continuous Learning: Being in a corporate setting means being surrounded by wisdom. I've learned to ask myself, "What am I learning from this?" It's been a game-changer in navigating challenges and seizing opportunities. 🌟 Endings are Beginnings: Whether it's a promotion or a setback, it's never the end. It's a sign that your purpose in that place is fulfilled, and you're ready for the next chapter. Thanks to my amazing teammates and Alshaya Group for making this journey unforgettable. Here's to many more milestones and lessons learned! I've got plenty more to share. But for now, cheers to growth, learning, and making every moment count!

🎉 Celebrating Another Year Around the Sun! 🌞✨ As my birthday is the 17th of January, I’d like to share 17 insights I learned along the way—lessons learned, wisdom gained, and things I wish I knew sooner. 🎂🎁 1. Indonesians are always empathetic and patient toward people who can't speak our language. Just because it’s like this in my country, I shouldn’t expect for the rest of the world to be like this. 2. You have more control than you think when it comes to facing your life problems and becoming the person that you want to be. Dr. Seuss said in his book "Oh, the Places You'll Go": "You can get so confused, that you'll start into a race, down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace, and grind on for miles across weirdish wild space, headed, I fear, toward a most useless place, The Waiting Place." God, I love his books. 3. The electric toothbrush is very effective. My dental cleaning has been shorter and less painful after I started using one. 4. Getting rich is not about saving every penny; it's about earning more and investing your savings. 5. There are countries that make it possible for people to take a break. My friend who experienced burnout in Germany was taken seriously and given 2 weeks of paid time off work to rest, no questions asked. 6. Build a good habit faster by incorporating that habit into your routine, like putting my notebook right by my bed so the first thing I see in the morning reminds me to journal. 7. I used to think that drying my hair will cause more damage, but it has improved my scalp and hair health. I just make sure that I hairdry at a distance and with constant movement. 8. When in an argument with loved ones, it matters less whether something is right or wrong; how it makes them feel matters more. 9. Europe's quality of life is also about the simple things - being able to walk out in the streets is a luxury; you can see cool architecture, there’s less pollution and humidity, and there’s a walkway that’s not used by motorbikes.

How can gratitude help you lead a fulfilling career? #tuesdaythoughts from our director, Laura Crompton: As I prepare for my first Thanksgiving living in the US, the concept of #gratitude is front of mind. However, I would say that gratitude is actually an essential component of a happy and fulfilling career that should be embraced as often as possible:   🧡 Gratitude for the challenges and bumps in the road that turn out to be life lessons. 🧡 For the career-defining highs you can wear like a badge of honour no matter where your line of work takes you. 🧡 For the “you had to be there” moments of hilarity or insanity, and for the quiet spells when you have time to regroup, take stock and plan ahead. 🧡 For the people you meet and interact with – people from different generations, backgrounds, cultures and political affiliations, who may not have crossed your path outside of work, but who become an extended family of sorts, who you can appreciate for their strengths, their quirks and the way you coexist, despite those differences. 🧡 For the inspiration gleaned from people leading the way in your chosen field and making you feel the door is open for you to do the same.   Be grateful this week, sure. But for a life (and a career) well-lived, appreciate each day for what it brings, because there’s almost always something to be thankful for, even if you can’t see it at the time. Happy (almost) Turkey Day! 🦃

🎉 **Two Months In: A Rollercoaster of Challenges, Achievements, and Holiday Cheer! 🌟** Time flies when you're having a blast, and today marks my second-month milestone at my company! 🚀 Grateful for every twist and turn in this journey, and here's a sneak peek into the whirlwind that was my month two. 🌪️ 👊 **Beating the Odds:** Heard whispers about the predecessor who lasted only a month? Well, guess who just breezed past that mark? 💨 Proving that commitment and resilience run deep in my veins. 🎭 **"Alay" Adventures:** Second month kicked off with the infamous "alay" for the Christmas Party. A bunch of us newbies showcasing talents – talk about diving into the deep end! 😅 Good thing there were 10 of us, so the stage felt more like a talent-packed party. 🎤🕺 🎄 **Festivities Galore:** From the grand Company Christmas Party at Richmonde Hotel to department celebrations, it's been a festive ride. Won the "Calamansi Game" (who knew citrus fruits could be so competitive?), met with clients, executives, and even a Singaporean bigwig for exciting prospects in the new year. 🌐 **Networking Adventures:** Ventured out to the company of the brand I handle, soaking in a Tech Update, and expanding my network. Every connection opens a new door, and I'm ready to explore! 💼 **Sales Saga:** The struggle to conquer the sales quota is real, especially with a shipment delay throwing a curveball. Prioritizing projects like a maestro, because in the world of sales, adaptability is the key. 🎶 **Jingle Bell Sales:** Amidst the hustle, it's the season to be jolly! 🎅✨ Tralalalalalalalala... Bringing the holiday spirit into every meeting, call, and pitch. Here's to the highs, the challenges, and the victories – embracing the ride and looking forward to what the next months bring.

As we have all enjoyed the festivities of Eid to mark the end of Ramadan, let us reflect on all those positive practices that we undertook during the last month and try to continue them in a post-Ramadan period. With shortened work days, we all ensured that our deadlines were still met by setting clear goals, prioritising tasks, and managing one's time efficiently. Our ability to stay focused led to better problem-solving and helped in dealing with challenging projects. Amid the occasional bouts of road rage witnessed during my commutes, Ramadan generally brings out a greater sense of empathy, reminding us to be more considerate of others' circumstances and challenges. We foster a more inclusive and supportive team environment where colleagues are more attuned to each other's needs and can work together more effectively. Ramadan is always a time for self-reflection, it encourages you to assess your personal and spiritual growth. I'd advocate for making this reflection a regular practice, scrutinising our career trajectories, achievements, and sincerely assessing areas needed for improvement. Ramadan's spirit of generosity shouldn't end with its calendar days. Let's keep the momentum of giving, extending our hands to those in our community who need it most. It's also an opportune time to champion CSR initiatives that can make a tangible difference in the lives we touch. Balance your spiritual, personal, and social needs. There should be a high value set for work-life balance and the need to take care of one's health and well-being to maintain productivity and avoid burnout. Lastly, this month underscored the importance of honesty, integrity, and ethical conduct. Let these principles guide us in our professional journeys, ensuring our actions are marked by trust and transparency. Here's to a fulfilling year ahead! 😊 Genesis Holdings Pvt. Limited

Can you believe that the first month of the "new year" we all celebrated not too long ago, is nearly over? There were many people whom I never got around to wishing. There were many calls I never made. There were many items on my "to do" list that never got done. There were, and still are, all of the above to complete. Do you struggle with procrastination? Are there things you just "never have enough time" for? Join Sean Hunter and me, live this Sunday 28th January, at 9:00 PM Dubai time, on zoom, when we focus on procrastination and initiate some small steps to overcome this in a way to help you #raiseyourvibration.
