Happy Thursday. Smile 😊 and believe. The main message is that with determination, hard work, and seizing opportunities, one can overcome adversity and achieve their dreams. Remember: Dreams with out hard work , are just dreams. 💰Howard Schultz the former CEO of Starbucks went from poverty to transforming the company into a $100 billion success story, proving that dreams can come true.💰Howard Schultz's family faced financial struggles after his father lost his job due to a leg injury, leading to a lack of medical insurance and savings.💡Howard Schultz overcame financial struggles and worked odd jobs to pay for college, eventually fulfilling his dream of working at Starbucks.💡Starbucks had three owners and only sold coffee beans, but after convincing them to hire him, Howard Schultz was inspired by the personalized customer experience in Italian coffee shops and went on to create his own coffee company called Il Giornale.💡Despite facing numerous rejections, the speaker persevered and eventually found investors who believed in his vision, allowing him to open his first coffee shop and bring his ideas to life.💡Howard Schultz bought bankrupt Starbucks, rebranded it, expanded globally, and now the company has over 30,000 stores with a market value of over $100 billion.💡Take responsibility for your future, seize opportunities, and pursue your vision instead of blaming others or relying on luck.💡Dream big, take action, and don't wait for perfect conditions to achieve more than you ever imagined.#transitioningmilitary #veteranshelpingveterans #militarytransition #houstontx #life #oilandgasindustry #familybusiness #hope

"I read your linkedin posts regularly and feel that you are an independent thinker. Keep posting the good stuff!"A Goldman Sachs MD told me these words on my last day at Goldman Sachs a few months back!I just pinged him to say good bye and obviously you won't expect a Goldman Sachs MD to remember something unique about you! But I was surprised to find out how the top leaders of the industry evaluate you on the basis of your social media profiles and activities!There have been quite a lot of instances like this, but to get appraised by my MD is the biggest one till now ✨Likes, comments and reach keeps on fluctuating but over a period of time, you build a professional image in the eyes of industry experts knowingly or unknowingly ✨So, before you post anything on linkedin, keep in mind that people are watching you and this will impact your career positively or negatively! #linkedin #appraisers #goldmansachs #linkedincreators #socialmedia #branding #personalbranding

Have you seen 's recent Midyear Business Leaders Outlook (full report in comments)? According to the report: "Companies are still struggling to find employees. More than 20% said a shortage of labor was their No. 1 external threat."What do you all think?In the words of Vinod Kartha (He/Him), Vice President of Strategic Initiatives at UST, "we realized that more and more people are moving to that workforce [independent workforce]. And then when we looked at the pool there, it’s like, when people talk about talent shortage, open talent was screaming what shortage? So that’s when we realized thatthere’s really not a talent shortage, but it’s more of a talent shift. More and more people want to be independent.”Shoutout to Greg Faenza for sharing.

I had a brilliant time at BNY Mellon this morning listening to an excellent panel discussion on Imposter Mindset hosted by the fabulous Nikki O'Sullivan. Huge thank you to pro-manchester for organising such a brilliant event. It was really great to take some time to sit back on reflect on this, how it can impact us in our careers and day to day lives. It is certainly something I have felt at different points in my career and know what a challenge it can be. My takeaways were: - Imposter Mindset Impacts 80% of us. If you are struggling with this it definitely isn't just you!- Celebrating the small wins and successes can really help to overcome this and focus on achievements. - Creating psychological safety in the work place so people feel confident to discuss and learn from their mistakes is vital in tackling this. Is this something you have experienced? What has helped you overcome this? Rachel Tetlow | pro-manchester

The Power of Diversity and Collaboration in Leadership.#Leadership is not a solo act and our leaders atBNY Mellon showcase their abilities to cultivate a true global collaborative environment. It is a collective endeavor that requires the participation and contribution of #diverse individuals who bring their unique skills, experiences, and perspectives to the table. Diversity and collaboration are not only desirable, but essential for effective leadership in the organization.The variety of identities, backgrounds, cultures, and viewpoints that exist in any group of people represent the diversity we share at #bnymellon. Diversity enriches the pool of ideas, insights, and solutions that can be generated by a team. Also, it fosters creativity, innovation, and resilience, as diverse teams can adapt to changing situations and overcome challenges more effectively. Diversity also promotes inclusion, equity, and social justice, as it ensures that everyone's voice is heard and valued, which is one of the most important aspect for a team environment.As a leader, utilizing collaboration towards the process of working together towards a common goal, leveraging the strengths and resources of each team member has helped our teams be successful for our #clients. Collaboration enhances the quality and impact of the work, as it allows for feedback, refinement, and improvement.

This week a client of mine was laid off from her job.No explanation, no word. Just a sterile notice and escort to the virtual door. Now, with headlines this week like: “Major US Companies Are Slashing Staff this Year” —And Amazon, BlackRock, Nike, Intel, and Citigroup announcing plans to cut jobs,you could argue it ‘shouldn’t’ come as any surprise.BUT. It doesn’t have to be handled this way. Because I like to talk about ‘leading with intention’—but is that even possible with so much uncertainty?Well, yes. I think it is. Because right now it’s CRUCIAL to lead with empathy and navigate tough conversations with grace and honesty.So, next time you’re about to walk into that meeting, or make that crucial decision, remember this: YOU have the power to align the brain, body, and breath…YOU have the power to center yourself and connect with others. In fact, it’s your duty. #Leadership #Management #PersonalDevelopment #Inspiration #Motivation
