High performers are up to 3X more productive and up to 50% more effective! - They get done in 1 week what takes others 3 weeks to do. - They achieve results that are 50% better. - They are reassuringly expensive whilst providing huge value.   How do you recognise a High Performer?  ⁣ 1. They study and learn from failures⁣ and reverse engineer disasters into victories⁣. ⁣ 2. They weaponise weakness⁣, turn limitations into advantages⁣ and make flaws become features⁣. ⁣ 3. They use outsider perspective as a strength⁣ and deliberate naivety to find novel solutions⁣. 4. They question everything⁣ from sacred cows to the innovation of others. ⁣ 5. They gain influence and build authority through strategic powerlessness⁣. ⁣⁣ 6. They use respectful rebellion and revolution to drive innovation⁣ and achieve optimised outcomes. 7. They find excitement in repetition⁣, deliver excellence in the dull but necessary and make uncertainty an advantage. ⁣ 8. They build backwards⁣ by starting with the why and the impossible end goal⁣. They are talented professionals with experience and behaviours consistent with Eight Eights values and beliefs. ⁣ Conventional and passive observers are frequently unable to recognise true high performance as they have no knowledge or means to measure this.  ⁣ The goal isn't to look good.  It’s to be productive and effective.⁣ The results speak for themselves. ⁣ What are the most important traits you look for in a high performer?⁣ Let us know in the comments ⬇️⁣ #DigitalTransformation #Change #Technology #ProjectManagement #Strategy #LeadershipDevelopment #Digital 

An abundance mindset means you are always winning at life! An abundance mindset is a way of thinking that focuses on the belief that there is enough for everyone and that resources are plentiful. It's the opposite of a scarcity mindset, which assumes that resources are limited and there's not enough to go around. People with an abundance mindset tend to be more optimistic, grateful, and open to opportunities. They believe there are endless possibilities and that they can achieve their goals. They are also more likely to collaborate and support others, as they understand that helping others benefits everyone. So which mindset do you have? 👇 Person with a scarcity mindset: 1.     Considers the limitations of a situation by focusing on the negatives. 2.     Leads with a victim mentality and blames things outside their control which adds to stress, worry, and inaction. 3.     Spends their mental energy on what’s lacking in their life or not working.  4.     Thinking that there’s never enough leads to feelings of frustration, powerlessness, anger, anxiety, and fear.  5.     Their negative attitude demotivates others and drains their energies.  6.     Refuse to collaborate or share credit with others.  7.     Think small, often avoiding risk. 8.     Find it hard to trust others, defaulting to suspicion. 9.     Act as a taker, always expecting more from others.  10.   Establish their sense of self-worth by comparing themselves to others. Person with an abundance mindset: 1.    Considers the opportunities in a situation by focusing on areas of growth and improvement. 2.    Leads with control by taking responsibility which inspires them to act with confidence and clarity. 3.    Spends their mental energy on new possibilities by being flexible and adaptable to circumstances so that they can see opportunities where others see none.  4.   Thinking about the challenges and growth ahead makes them feel empowered and engaged. 5.    Their positive attitude inspires and energises others to perform well.  6.    Collaborate well with others by sharing knowledge and success. 7.    Think big, often embracing risk. 8.    Lead with trust by focusing on relationships.  9.    Act as a giver, contributing to others well-being.  10.  Establishes sense of self-worth by comparing to own ideal self. 11.  Grows without limitations or restrictions 12.  See the world as full of opportunities 13.  Have greater clarity and focus around your purpose  14.  Feel plentiful, creative, and inspired 15.  Create memorable and meaningful life experiences At Eight Eights we not only advocate an abundance mindset but also demonstrate it in all our values and behaviours.

Weetabix and baked beans? Sounds like someone needs an expert at the “perfect match” We love new and innovative ideas here at Eight Eights, but we can’t stay quiet when bad ones start to make a comeback. This week, Weetabix’s baked beans abomination started to reappear across our social media. As perfect match experts, we felt we had to take a stand. And it’s a definite no from us. Baked beans deserve a perfectly baked jacket potato or a crispy piece of toast. And at this point, surely we can all agree that nobody can break up that cold milk and Weetabix partnership. Yes, in theory you can put baked beans on Weetabix (but for everyone’s sanity and to avoid judgment for life, please keep it to yourself). Whilst very… creative… this is not a perfect match. And Weetabix and baked beans deserve so much more. A perfect match is one where the outcome from the partnership is greater than the sum of its parts.

Our industry-leading individuals and teams will exceed your expectations.   We know our talent personally, not just their CV.

Would you buy into your personal brand? How much have you really thought about your brand? And have you been consciously crafting it? It’s the future of marketing, and for business owners and entrepreneurs, personal branding has increasingly become just as important as every other marketing touchpoint. Authenticity is the word, and with social media enabling us all the ability to engage with businesses on a personal level, the most savvy professionals have already been using their platforms to connect and showcase their individuality and value. However, personal branding is not just for business owners.  In fact, your personal branding is already influencing your success and the trajectory of your life and next career move. A strong personal brand: - opens doors to new opportunities - builds trust with clients and colleagues - propels your career forward It's the unique identity you project, a reflection of your values, skills, and aspirations. Just as businesses invest in building strong brands, individuals should prioritise crafting their own. It's your reputation in a nutshell, and it’s what clients, hiring managers, colleagues and employees buy into. Just in the same way you choose which brands you like and dislike. Here are some elements you should think about when shaping your personal brand. From here, you can continue to refine your “personal brand guidelines” to create a professional strategy and achieve success. Visual Identity: How do you want to be perceived? Your clothes, hairstyle, and overall appearance should align with your desired brand image. Verbal Identity: The words you choose, your tone of voice, and your communication style all contribute to your personal brand. Are you a confident speaker, a thoughtful writer, or a skilled listener? Online Presence: Your digital footprint is a crucial component of your personal brand. Ensure your social media profiles, website, and online content reflect your values and expertise. Values and Mission: What are your core values and what do you want to achieve? Your personal brand should be aligned with your passions and goals.
