What we can learn from Spain winning the Euro 2024 which we can reapply in Business... Spain's recent Euro 2024 victory holds valuable lessons for business strategies: - Empowering the youth: By giving young players like Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams, and Pedri opportunities to shine, Spain secured a bright future in football. Note: Yamal is 16 years old !!! - Teamwork: Prioritizing teamwork over individual stardom led to a cohesive and successful team dynamic. - Belief in oneself: Spain's commitment to their style of play, regardless of the opponent, showcases the importance of playing to one's strengths. - Giving it your all: Demonstrating resilience and the willingness to fight for every opportunity is crucial in achieving success. As Al Pacino's Any Given Sunday famous speech: "Fighting for every inch". - The Power of "AND": Balancing attacking prowess with defensive solidity, Spain exemplified a holistic approach to the game, emphasizing risk with reward. Playing beautiful football and still winning. BOTH can be done with the power of "AND". These principles of youth empowerment, teamwork, self-belief, dedication, and balance between offense and defense can also be applied effectively in business strategies for long-term success. Let's take inspiration from Spain's victory and strive for excellence in our endeavors! #Euro2024 #BusinessStrategy #Teamwork #SuccessLessons

“THE CULTURE CODE” HANDS-ON IN MULTI-CULTURAL UNIVERSITIES Daniel Coyle explores in his book “The culture code” the secret of successful groups for an impact in today’s multi-cultural teams at work. Recently I had the chance in the SIP Master in Esade to share some of the key skills Coyle identifies. The temporary built teams who shared a project with the aim to contribute to sustainability innovation projects, were culturally spoken very diverse. In practical meetings we applied these key skills like this: -> We built a safe space together so each could get to know the others in the team on a personal level. This meant sharing typical habits of the country each came from like food, celebrations, characteristics of culture and language. But it also included what felt difficult for one or another living in a town like Barcelona. Encouraging open dialogue and physical stability helped to create trust between the team members. -> As second step they established the purpose of the team during the project. This shared purpose was to guide their actions and decisions. A timeline, the frame of the content and different tasks, the consciousness of personal strengths and how to keep together working towards set goals increased their motivation. And it helped to overcome each milestone. Project management is not a linear process, as it presents unexpected obstacles and setbacks that are not always easy to integrate. Especially when your project is one of several and stress rises because of timings for handing in deliverables. -> This is when in the third step it is important to open the learning space for vulnerability, especially with a diverse culture background. When you are able to recognize the difficulties, possible errors or the need of realigning communication, the students can direct their intention to make it better the next time. Constructive feedback can strengthen bonds and learn from the difference of each other. It was an exciting experience and I am grateful for the openness the students showed throughout the course, even if sometimes it was challenging for them. Learning to #collaborate in multi-cultural teams is a challenge in many place. This shared learning process and the tools will help them in the #futureofwork and create a positive #socialimpact. Thank you Maja Tampe for this rich collaboration!  ------------------------------------------------------------------------- My name is Valerie Adolff and my passion is to support students to build healthy working habits, empower each other and learn to weave supportive connections.

7 PARADOXES OF LEADERSHIP: BE FLEXIBLE AND ADAPT - LIKE WHEN SKIING "Can you master the inner game of leadership?” by Adam Bryant and Kevin Sharer at Strategy+Business, March 2021 Some ideas I liked specially since they show leaders need to adopt a BOTH/AND mindset, navigating paradoxes rather than "just" solving problems: ✅ "The thorniest aspects of leadership are hard because they are paradoxical. Is it this or is it that? The answer is often both." ✅ "What’s needed is to flex one way or the other depending on the subtleties of the situation." "Every one-on-one interaction, every team meeting, requires a different approach to suit the moment." ✅ A clear metaphor: "Such moments, in a sense, are like skiing — you have to know the balance point, and constantly adjust and lean in different directions as conditions and terrains require." ✅ Here are 7 paradoxes to make good decisions and effectively leading people: ▷ Confident AND   Humble ▷ Urgent AND  Patient ▷ Compassionate AND    Demanding ▷ Optimistic AND    Realistic ▷ Read the weather AND   Set it ▷ Create freedom AND   Structure ▷ Be selfless AND   Focus on your well-being 🎯 Building on the authors' list, I would add: ▷ Results AND Relationships ▷ Stability AND Transformation ▷ My objectives AND Others' objectives ▷ Do / execute AND Lead ▷ Profits AND Purpose Which are the main paradoxes you have to navigate as a leader? #leadership #leadershipdevelopment #paradoxes #bothand

👨‍🏫 - I know you don't like learning English, and I know why... - It's because the English you always learned is simply not relevant to you or your work - Quick example, not connected with the bike world: about 99% of the students at my academy here in Spain think English speakers greeet each other by saying: "Hello, how are you?" - Okay, maybe you would in a very formal setting the first time you meet someone, but it's not common... far more usual nowadays are: - How's it going? - How are you doing? - Hi - Good to see you - Nice to meet you - Alright mate (very informal, and typical in my town!) - As well as countless other possibilities, you can find loads with a simple Google search - But 99% of English classroom books only use "Hello, how are you?", which is why people's range of expressions and their fluency are limited 🚲 I love riding my bike and I love teaching English - That's why I do what I do - But I know you don't like learning English 👨‍🏫 Being an English coach is a bit different from being an English teacher - A teacher tells you what they need you to know so you can pass their exams - A coach asks you what you need to know to get where you want to be 👨‍🏫 So, no matter how much I love teaching English, a lot of my customers/students are not interested in learning it! - They don't want to learn English - they want to solve their problems with English in order to get the results they can get from knowing English! 👨‍🏫 So if you want to be able to: - Speak up in Meetings without fear - Talk with international customers on the phone - Report to senior managers/head office with no problems - Start to rock at you job Then forget about learning the classroom English which hasn't helped you at work so far, and invest in using and practicing the English you need for your job! DM for more _______________________________________________________________________________ As a Bike Fan and Business English Coach I post a lot on both topics, so follow/connect if you don't want to miss any updates!

“How can your business grow 50% per year, during more than 5 years?” This is … the question that Javier Cruz and his team asked, while studying companies with extreme growth, like Netflix, AirBnB, and 50 more. THEIR ANSWER: → The PENTAGROWTH INNOVATION model The model has 5 branches: (1) CONNECT - NETWORK → Social - Mobile - Things (2) COLLECT - INVENTORY → Centralised - Distributed - Commons (3) EMPOWER - USERS → Users - Users/Producers - Any Role (4) ENABLE - PARTNERS → Provide - Co-markets - Co-create (5) SHARE - KNOWLEDGE → Proprietary - Non-commercial - Open 👇 TRADITIONAL COMPANIES stay in the center, with a defensive attitude towards the rest of the world: → A network that is just social. → Centralised inventory. → Users can just be users. → Partners just provide. → Knowledge is proprietary. 👇 EXTREMELY FAST GROWING COMPANIES on the other hand, have an OPEN attitude towards at least two of the branches: → A network that connects to anything. → Inventory is registered as commons. → Users can take on any role → Partners co-create value. → Knowledge is open. This allows them to leverage the power of others, outside of their company, and to build a community, which helps them scale tremendously. 🤔 How is your company doing? <<< >>> 👋 Hi, I’m Remko.

Noise. I'm fed up with #LinkedIn. That's what a person said a few days ago at a wonderful IE Business School event. A lot of noise, I can't stop seeing things that don't interest me, this has become the Instagram of LinkedIn A place of egocentrism and self-aggrandizement where we narrate what we do every minute. Where we are, what we participate in, what we have achieved…we, each one. LinkedIn has to be much more than that, it was and I know that the algorithm tries. But how to protect everyone from everyone? It is impossible. However, there are some tips that I can give you that will help you focus and create a funnel where only the news and/or #relevant content that you are looking for appears. 1- Create valuable and valuable content for your community. 2- Notice that I said #community, therefore, you have to create the ecosystem that interests you. How? Inviting people strictly related to your sector of activity and discarding the rest. It may seem hard, but #LinkedIn is not a democracy. Really?…yes my friend. Stop accepting any invitation from people who are not related to your sector and start establishing relationships of value and mutual interest. For example, I talk about human resources, people, development, entrepreneurship, legal, legal tech, and innovation. This is my community, I don't leave there. I do not accept profiles from sectors with which I have not worked. This allows you to position yourself, reach the right people who are really interested in your message reaching them. You position yourself, acquire reputation and credentials in your market. Everything else is chaos, inefficiency, wasted time and loss of focus on your goals. If you want to stand out in your field on LinkedIn, follow these tips. You'll see how, out of nowhere, very #interesting things start to happen. Follow me on LinkedIn for more valuable content. Follow us on YouTube to access more content from the legal sector. https://lnkd.in/dh6WErFp #blawyer #blawyerschool #coaching #mentoring #advising

5 Transformative Lessons from My Digital Nomad Journey "Why do I have to decide on a specific place at all?" This question changed everything. Four years ago, during COVID, instead of relocating to Madrid as planned, I chose to question the obvious. Here are 5 key lessons I've learned since then, which I shared at Tirana Digital Nomad Festival: 1. Replace "This won't work for me" with "How could this work for me?" The moment I stopped seeing location as a constraint, the world opened up. When Crete showed 8 COVID cases while other places were surging, I thought "Why not?" 2. Be Present & Curious Tomorrow's opportunities are today's conversations. The speaker you want to learn from, the connection you want to make - they're here now. Not tomorrow, not online. Now. 3. Connect Authentically We're not just travelers; we're people sharing a journey. Don't exchange business cards - exchange stories. My deepest professional relationships started with genuine conversations at events like these. 4. Challenge Assumptions When people said "Albania isn't safe," I didn't argue. I showed them pictures. They saw Puglia. I saw possibility. Today, they see opportunity. 5. Ask for Advice, Not Favors Instead of "Do you have any openings?" try "I love what you're doing. How did you get on this path?" Watch how doors open when you lead with curiosity. Here's what fascinates me: I could have been nomadic 10 years earlier. Flying Sydney to Perth took longer than Perth to Bali. But I was too busy following the conventional path to see the possibilities right in front of me. As I heard at the Pyramid opening in Tirana: "When others say it's impossible, Albanians make it happen." Maybe that's the biggest lesson - impossible is just a matter of perspective. What assumptions are you ready to challenge? #Leadership #DigitalNomad #Innovation #FutureOfWork #RemoteWork #PersonalDevelopment #DigitalNomadFestival

One more year visiting the South of Spain, where my roots are. First Cordoba, my hometown, amazing cultural city, 3 monuments Patrimony of Mankind and.... Epicenter of climate change in Europe. last summer, the most heat waves in history, reaching several consecutive days with max temperatures of 45 C (113F), several times during the summer. My city is a hub for olive oil production, now in danger as the combination of droughts and floods affects the crops. Luckily more and more farmers choose #RegenerativeAgriculture, a feasible proven solution to capture water in the soil and even improve organic content, capturing CO2 at the same time. Follow Javier Peña for more news on this. Then Malaga, where the coast that feeds thousands of small and medium businesses and tourists adore, could well dissapear in few years due to climate change and raising water levels. But for now, I am going to enjoy the smooth ride in this 100% electric train that reaches 360km/hr effortlessly, powered by solar and wind energy in one of the countries with the highest renewable electricity percentage in the world. Yep, a renewable future is possible and it can be beautiful too. Not everything is gloom and doom. Let's celebrate the wins! Are you celebrating your wins? Share please with us the wins that you are proud of, personally or professionally!
