🍶 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 (𝗼𝘂𝗿) 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝟱 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: Last Friday, we celebrated our Christmas party with the whole Journi team — and it was a great evening full of laughter. ✨ When preparing my speech, I thought about what makes us as a company so successful. And while everyone who knows me might think they know the answer (our culture, of course!), I wanted to dig deeper this time. That’s how I identified the 5 ingredients of our secret sauce: 1️⃣ 𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗹𝘆𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 Ralf Rangnick calls it constructive dissatisfaction: knowing that you need to keep putting in an effort if you want to be successful. We ask ourselves how we can get even better all the time. 2️⃣ 𝗚𝗶𝘃𝗲 & 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 Only with honest feedback, we can grow and improve. 3️⃣ 𝗗𝗼 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 Find something you’re passionate about. We love doing what we do — which makes it easy and fun, not a burden. 4️⃣ 𝗗𝗼 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 We don’t want a team full of single superstars, we want a superstar team! Nobody succeeds alone, but we do succeed when we work together, complementing each other’s strengths. 5️⃣ 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 It’s just like Arnold Schwarzenegger said: You have to constantly invest time and effort in what you’re doing, and you have to do so with a clear goal in mind. This helps you focus on the right things. With this said, and looking around us, I am deeply humbled by our achievements in times like these. And I can’t wait to see what 2025 will bring. A heartfelt thanks to everyone who contributes to the success of Journi 🩵 #CelebrateSuccess #Thankful #TeamSpirit #StrongerTogether
