Wishing you success in your upcoming professional journey.

Feeling the love today ?? So thankful to be a part of such a supportive team that encourages me to be the best version of myself. When I first accepted this job as a Staffing Recruiter, I wasn't sure what to expect. Throughout my career as an internal recruiter I was told the grind wouldn't be for me, or I wouldn't like the fast pace because I wouldn't have an opportunity to connect with my candidates. Fast forward one year and I can honestly say, I'm the best Recruiter I've ever been. I use tools and sourcing methods that internal recruiting peers only talked about, but never put into practice. My candidates appreciate the time I take to understand their skill sets, explain the job, and pipeline them for future roles. And I just LOVE working across multiple industries! It also doesn't hurt that everchanging priorities (sometimes by the hour), compliments my ADHD and short attention span. *Oooo something new and shiny!!!* This goes to show you that just because someone thinks something is undesirable for THEM and makes a quick judgement about YOU, doesn't mean they are right or that you will feel the same way. Sometimes, you gotta see for yourself. I'm so happy I did. Cheers to One Year ?? Did you know we're hiring?? Join my team as a Staffing Manager or Recruiter and let's reach new heights TOGETHER! #appreciation #anniversary #werehiring Jan A. Davis ? Edwin Soriano ? Diane Catalan ? Luis Mendoza

Paula Rizzo "Thank you, Paula Rizzo, for your insightful courses on LinkedIn Learning. Your guidance on redefining productivity has empowered me to adapt and thrive in the evolving work environment. Your practical tips and strategies have truly made a difference in my approach to work."

These are the questions we explored with the European senior leadership team of the Prysmian Group (world-leading cable solutions). No one works in a vacuum—not front-line workers who depend on many other people and not senior leaders who co-depend on the alignment between different support functions. Together, we delved into the understanding that operational risk is not a product of a single function, but a co-creation of various corporate functions. For instance, I shared examples from other industries, where sales and purchasing, seemingly unrelated to safety, play an important but often invisible role in risk management: customer lead times affect the planning and may create time constraints leading to adaptations, or the purchasing cost strategy for spare parts may impact the quality of parts, which may fail unexpectedly releasing energy and resulting in an injury. Learning from normal work is not limited to learning from front-line workers but also helps us learn about the challenges we face in different functions and departments. Once we start learning from each other, we can optimise the flow of information and resource allocation, which in turn will impact the reduction of risk related to safety, quality, and operational efficiency (direct and indirect costs). Anna Dynak thank you for the invitation and this wonderful opportunity to join the team. Emmanuelle Marshall

?? Leadership Lessons from Leena Nair, Global CEO of Chanel: Breaking Barriers with Grace and Purpose I recently came across an inspiring conversation with Leena Nair at Stanford GSB that left me with powerful insights about leadership, resilience, and breaking barriers. Here are the key takeaways that resonated deeply: https://lnkd.in/ecAkjvke 1. Embrace Being the First, But Don't Be the Last "It's a privilege to be first, but I don't want to be the last." Nair's journey from being the first woman in her family to pursue engineering to becoming Chanel's first Indian global CEO teaches us that pioneering isn't just about personal achievement - it's about creating pathways for others. 2. The Power of Seeking Mentorship Even without immediate role models, Nair actively sought guidance. She'd reach out to people who inspired her, turning newspaper articles into networking opportunities. A reminder that mentorship often begins with the courage to ask. 3. Building Resilience Through Affirmation Nair's success strategy? Daily affirmations and building a strong support system. In her words: "I'm an absolute believer in affirmation - constantly affirming, finding sponsors, finding mentors." 4. Embracing Failure as a Teacher "When you embrace failure, you can take risks." Nair's approach to setbacks is refreshingly honest - allow yourself to feel disappointed, but then use it as a stepping stone for growth and more audacious goals. 5. The Heart of Leadership: Deep Listening In her early factory days, Nair discovered her leadership superpower: listening deeply without judgment. Sometimes, the best insights come not from logbooks but from genuine conversations with people on the ground. ?? Reflection: Nair's journey reminds us that leadership isn't just about breaking glass ceilings - it's about extending a hand to pull others up alongside you. Her mantra "lift as you climb" encapsulates what modern leadership should aspire to be. ?? Let's Connect & Grow Together: Inspired by Leena's emphasis on mentorship, I'm excited to share that I'm available on Topmate to connect with freshers and professionals looking to take their next career step. I believe in the power of two-way learning - while I share my experiences and insights, I'm equally eager to learn from your unique perspectives and journeys.

STEVE NASH BB AND LIFE LESSONS Be Efficient in your Skill Set To be a Leader you must become Autonomous

In a post late last week, I alluded to PEOPLE being the differentiator (more so than our national footprint, best in class software, relationships with world renowned institutions, esteemed Medical Advisory Board, etc) that sets Stratus apart from others in the EEG world. Scott’s testimony is a reflection of the professional environment we’ve worked diligently to cultivate since we hired our first tech and hooked up our first EEG in 2013. We have been able to consistently attract and, most importantly, retain the hardest working and most talented technologists in the country not because we are perfect (we’re not; when we miss the mark, we OWN IT and vow to improve) but because we give those on the front lines a seat at the table and a megaphone through which they can voice concerns without fear of retribution, share ideas without fear of ridicule, and participate in crafting solutions that make sense for all stakeholders. If you’re a Pruning or Monitoring technologist looking for a new challenge, greener grass, and a place you can build (or finish) your career, ask yourself this question - Why is Stratus always hiring yet so few people leave?

I am deeply grateful for all the heartfelt messages of congratulations regarding my “ 9 years” at Good Things Guy. However, it’s ridiculosuly funny how we can sometimes find ourselves in a loop of automated responses on LinkedIn. Example (and I am sure this is totally relatable): Person: “Congrats on your work anniversary” Me: “Thank you” Person: “You’re Welcome” Me: “Awesome” Person: “Nice” Me: “????” Person: “Okay” Me: “Okay” Person: “Thank you”? Person: “You’re Welcome” Me: “Awesome” Person: “Nice” Me: “????” Person: “Okay” Me: “Okay” Person: “Thank you” You get the point. ????

RIP an original thinker. Let me share a brilliant insight from Daniel Kahneman which I heard on the The Economist podcast Boss Class. When he got his team together to develop new thinking and write the book Thinking Fast and Slow he asked them all how long they thought it would take. Estimates coalesced around 18 months. (For those that don't know the book, it popularised the idea of System 1 and System 2 thinking, the basis of much behavioural science.) He then went to the principal at his college and asked how long such projects usually take. He said only 40% ever finished a book and the range was 7-10 years. Which was exactly how long TFAS took to complete. The lesson he took away: don't trust gut instinct! Optimistic planning is usually an inside view rather than an objective outside view, reality checked and based on hard evidence.
