Thought leadership is not simply broadcasting opinions and getting a bunch of likes. Thought leadership is immersion in a community of knowledge, where norms are challenged and boundaries pushed. It’s having the humility to recognise others’ expertise and welcome their perspective, but the boldness to forge your own path with this knowledge. It means harnessing knowledge to bring real-world benefits. This is what Big Minds Collective is about. So the news that our CEO, Michael, has been asked to join the Collective for a third year running is cause for excitement for ourselves and our clients. Find out more about what Michael’s inclusion means for NERVE and the brands who work with us: https://bit.ly/47nSOEe #B2BMarketing #BigMindsCollective #MarketingAgency #ThoughtLeadership

5 Generations, 1 Workforce: A Conversation with The NetWORK We recently had an incredible conversation at The NetWORK, diving deep into the complexities of having five distinct generations working side by side in today’s business world. From the wisdom of Baby Boomers to the tech-savvy energy of Gen Z, each generation brings unique strengths and communication styles to the table. Our discussion focused on: * How to bridge generational gaps for better collaboration * The importance of understanding communication styles to avoid missteps * What each generation values in their workplace environment * How leaders can adapt to inspire, motivate, and retain talent across generations Exploring how we can create a work culture where every generation feels valued and empowered to contribute to success was fascinating. After all, our diversity in experience and perspective is our greatest strength! What are your thoughts on managing a multigenerational workforce? How do you ensure collaboration and respect across age groups?

The Power of Coming Together Last week, I had the privilege of being in Amsterdam, surrounded by remarkable leaders from across the teams. Every conversation was an opportunity to learn, share stories, and grow. At Highberg, we’ve been steadily building capabilities over the years, and this gathering reminded me why we are stronger together. The highlight of my week? Attending the ???????????????? ????????????????, where over 400 professionals gathered from all corners of the Europe. As a management team, we reflected on market trends and strategized for the future. But the best part wasn’t just the work—it was the human connection. ?? ?????? ???????????? ???????????????? ??????????????: In today’s digital age, real connections are more valuable than ever. Eye contact, shared laughter, spontaneous conversations—these moments create bonds that emails and online calls simply can’t. When we come together, we don’t just exchange ideas, we amplify them. ????????????????????? & ???????????????????????? serve a bigger purpose than we realize. They remind us to pause, reflect, and celebrate our collective journey. At the Highberg Festival, it wasn’t just about work—it was about celebrating our ???????????? ?????????????? ?????? ?????? ???????????? ???? ?????????? ???? ?? ???????????? ??????????????????. Oh, and let’s not forget the fun! From thought-provoking discussions to full-on excitement—I even joined a group performing the ????????, an unforgettable moment that symbolized unity and strength.

Amidst the intense R&D for our Parad'Ice Ice cream, I learned the importance of establishing core values early. Coached by the unequalled Alice Lopin, I initially struggled to prioritize values amid pressing demands. However, recognizing their importance for scalability, I listened to Alice and embraced collaboration and empowerment as two initial key values. ?? A way down the line, our successful R&D journey led to unique intellectual property, then we solidified branding. As our team expanded remotely, however, we faced challenges in clarity of responsibilities. Returning to our values, our digital leaders proactively addressed this, delineating clear ownership zones. This empowered the digital team and relieved the marketing group, fostering positive energy and clarity throughout the company. The importance of aligning actions with values early was a big learning for me. The result was a more collaborative culture a bit like a silent operating system. Without this early groundwork, our journey might not have been as positive. Grateful to Alice Lopin for insisting on the importance of values early on; I wanted to pay it forward and share, in case it can serve as a check and balance to the thought "but I don't have time for this now!!" Which most of us probably share! Protelicious Corp #ValuesInAction #Empowerment #Collaboration #OrganizationalCulture

Christie Martinez, CFO of Spiroflow, recently shared her insights into the leadership challenges she faced amidst the upheavals of COVID-19. While her industry experienced a robust upswing, the emergence of COVID-19 ushered in unprecedented hurdles, particularly in managing human capital. The transition to remote work placed a significant strain on interdepartmental communication, notably between engineering and assembly teams, adding to the already exacerbating challenges in workflow coordination. Things indeed got much worse before they got better, yet, eventually, Martinez and her management team rallied by adopting a 'back-to-basics' approach with daily rituals of celebration, including, among other things: Shared breakfasts, Holiday celebrations, Engaging in trivia sessions, and more! "Keeping the team motivated and feeling loved was essential." ~Christie Martinez Spiroflow indeed fostered a sense of belonging and motivation within the team. The unintended benefit of these interactions was the opportunity for genuine, unscripted conversations, nurturing deeper connections amidst uncertainty. Was it easy? Not at all! How'd they do it?

?????????????????? ?????????????? ???????????????????? ?????????????? ?????????????????? ???? ???????????????????????? In today's fast-paced and interconnected world, thought leadership is not just about showcasing expertise; it's about enriching it through the myriad lenses of diverse perspectives. The amalgamation of ideas from varying backgrounds, cultures, and experiences serves as a crucible for innovation and creativity, providing thought leaders with a broader, more nuanced understanding of the issues at hand. Embracing diversity in thought leadership goes beyond mere inclusivity; it's a strategic imperative. It challenges conventional wisdom, fosters creative problem-solving, and ultimately, leads to groundbreaking insights that resonate across a wider audience. It's about harnessing the collective wisdom of a diverse group to illuminate paths previously unexplored, driving conversations forward in a way that's both inclusive and expansive. So, how can we, as thought leaders, actively integrate diverse perspectives into our work? It begins with actively seeking out and valuing voices different from our own, creating platforms where these voices can be heard and amplified. It's about engaging in meaningful dialogue, challenging our biases, and being willing to evolve our thinking based on new insights and experiences. In the quest for thought leadership that truly makes an impact, let's commit to making diversity of perspectives not just an add-on, but the foundation of our approach. The future of thought leadership is collaborative, inclusive, and rich with the colors of diverse insights. Let's embrace it wholeheartedly. #ThoughtLeadership #Diversity #Innovation #Creativity #InclusiveConversations

When Cynthia Oliver talks we hang on *every* word, because *this* is powerful! She mentioned that there are three important components to consider when embarking on a change: 1. whether the system agrees the change is necessary 2. if they think it is doable, and 3. if they have the necessary resources to make it happen The Culture Impact Lab is a real-life role model of what we want to emulate in organizations - meeting of the minds across different levels and layers across the organization. Cynthia was part of a broader panel of experts to debunk the myth that formal leaders within an organization have the ultimate key to purpose-driven and positive culture shifts within organizations. ================================================= Hey ?? we're Call for Culture- creators of the Culture Impact Lab - our annual gathering and community focused on mobilizing our collective strength to build a better world and better world of work through community leadership and culture building. It is designed for and unites social impact leaders (industry and sector agnostic) called to reimagine the role of work in society - advancing collective liberation, connecting to our shared humanity, and progressing a more equitable and just future for all. Every workplace can turn into a social enterprise that has a powerful impact on their communities and beyond, and in this shared space, we tap back into the signals and connections that allow us to advance our work.

?? Excited, energized, and inspired after an incredible time at the Amplify Growth Summit! ?? It was such a pleasure to connect with fellow CHRO powerhouses Abby Martin and Katie LaFranchi—together, we formed “Team KAT” (Katie, Abby, Tina ??). We were beyond fortunate to hear from thought leaders like Damon West, who shared his powerful story of personal transformation and the lessons from The Coffee Bean about how we can influence our environments with positivity and resilience. ? ?? "Have positive body language everywhere you go" Whitney Johnson—a true expert in disruptive innovation—challenged us to embrace personal growth and continuous learning, ?? reminding us that real progress comes from stepping outside of our comfort zones. "Emotions are the data that predicts a person's behavior" ?? ?? Lessons learned from both - Behavior is contagious! Chris Gorman, CEO of Keybank, spoke about resilience. Resiliency and teamwork are the key when I am looking for the right people. Those who don't flinch and take on the day. I’m walking away with fresh ideas for creating more impactful employee experiences and can’t wait to implement them. Here’s to collaboration, innovation, and a little fun along the way! Let’s keep the momentum going, #TeamKAT! ?? #growth #resilence #positivity Amplēo #AmplifyGrowthSummit #HRLeaders #FutureOfWork #PeopleFirst #CHRO
