ANTZ UK Limited’s Post

Today is one of my favorite days of the year. Not because it’s May tomorrow and we are all hoping that the big yellow ball will finally make a prolonged appearance. No, because today is this year’s regional final of Young Enterprise UK. We have ten groups of young leaders of the future coming together to celebrate what they have learned and achieved over the last 7 months. In that time, they’ve set up businesses, real businesses, with P&L sheets and #marketing plans and #HR decisions to support the products have produced and sold. Yes, they’ve learnt about #commercial stuff and it has to be said at a speed that many corporate organisations would envy. As importantly, they’ve learnt 😎 how to work together, 😎 how to #resolve differences, 😎 how to utilise each others strengths, 😎 how to #overcome the hurdles that can occur in business. They’ve grown as young people and developed #resilience, drive and those all important ‘soft skills’ that are so needed across organisations. Have I got goosebumps? You bet I have. A huge thank you goes out to Joanna Hill and the team at University of the West of England for once again hosting this celebration of what young leaders can achieve when they are given the opportunity to show what they can do. Whilst there will be a winning team going through to the next round of this year's competition, they really are all winners. We may have a few businesses #leaders of the future in our midst today.

Here's some Friday motivation from David Harding, Sussex Chairman of global coaching and peer advisory Vistage UK. He discusses why business leaders should invest in personal and professional development to maximise on business success. 'The importance of investing in Number 1.'

Whilst the data from this report is skewed to the US small business market, we see a similar pattern here in Australia. In a recent, anecdotal, article on Forbes, the top four contributing factors to small business failure were identified. In order, they were a lack of understanding of sales and marketing, inadequate preparation, insufficient effort and a lack of knowledge. Factors, we think, that can be overcome quickly, yet can be quite daunting for many entrepreneurs and business leaders, especially those who don't have a business background or experience in sales or marketing. 25eight's mission is to decrease the number of fallen small businesses by providing accessible support and tools that can help small business thrive now and in the future. Our programs help them develop a laser focus on what they need to prepare, how they can market and sell what they are offering, focus on the exact tasks that will get them results and builds their business knowledge, skills and confidence. #BusinessGrowth, #BusinessMentorship, #BusinessEducation, #StudyWith25eight #BusinessProgram, #ProfessionalDevelopment #BusinessLeaders #LeadershipDevelopment #BusinessStrategy #BuildingCapabilities

When Your Achievement Transforms into Their Success ✨️💎✨️💧💎✨️💎💧✨️ The Power of Shared success! When we recognize that our achievements have the potential to transform into collective success, we open ourselves up to a world of possibilities. Collaboration, empowerment, leadership, mentorship, gratitude, responsibility, synergy, legacy, and community are all essential components of fostering this culture of shared success. By working together, uplifting and supporting each other, we can achieve greater fulfillment and prosperity for all. Here are ten key lessons for fostering a culture of shared success, collaboration, and empowerment. 💎Recognize that individual achievements can have a ripple effect, benefiting others and contributing to collective success. 💎Emphasize the importance of collaboration and teamwork in achieving mutual success, as individual accomplishments often rely on support from others. 💎Understand that empowering others to succeed can lead to greater overall success and fulfillment for everyone involved. 💎Effective leadership involves not only achieving personal goals but also inspiring and enabling others to achieve theirs. 💎Embrace the role of mentorship and guidance in helping others succeed, as sharing knowledge and experience can uplift the entire team. 💎Practice gratitude for the support and contributions of others, recognizing that your success is often built upon the efforts of many. 💎Acknowledge the responsibility that comes with success to uplift and support others on their journey toward achieving their goals. 💎Understand the power of synergy, where the combined efforts and achievements of individuals create a greater impact than the sum of their parts. 💎Consider the long-term impact of your actions on the success and well-being of others, aiming to leave a positive legacy for future generations. #sharedsuccess #collaboration #empowerment #leadership #mentorship #gratitude #responsibility #synergy #legacy #community #network #business #people #success #relationships #networking #corporate #wealth #entrepreneurs #businessowners #sponsorship Here are our Iconic Business Leadership Awards winners 2023: Moses Bright Roy Smoothe James Eltroy Dixon Marc Watson LL.B(Hons.),Solicitor Ms Enet Hodgkins Oyewole Kunle ALEGBELEYE RAYMOND HARLALL Subscribe The Global Business and Author's Awards UK & the youtube channel.

I was recently in a conversation with a father who is in a top leadership position at a fast-paced, constantly changing, pressure-filled company. I asked, “Do your people feel like they are winning externally (work and home) and internally (how they see and feel about themselves)? How often do they experience winning, and can they celebrate the wins? He told me that in a meeting with his managers they discussed how despite a very challenging quarter with major debilitating sustained disruptions in technology, raw material supply and manpower issues, and project delays, they had their best quarter ever, but his management team did not recognize that they were winning. He then shared a discussion he had with a teacher while attending a parent-teacher conference with his 11-year-old son. The teacher had shown him his son’s test scores. The dots on the graph moved upward showing steady growth and improvement except for one dot in the middle that hit the bottom of the graph. Seeing the dot on the bottom he immediately demanded of the teacher “What happened here? Why did this happen?” The teacher, to her credit, immediately said something like, “You are focusing on the wrong thing. He had one rough day. Focus on where he was and is going--the wins, can you celebrate that?” I believe that a marketplace is where we give value and look for value in return, our ROI. This can be at home, business, team, child, or even within us. The cultures that we create within each of these marketplaces will determine the quality of our ROI. In my experience, cultures in business and home are greatly impacted by the lack of definition and clarity that we have around winning because of habits of thinking, that create three blind spots: 1-Our perceived urgency and distraction into the “doing the next thing. Like the management team who did not see their wins in overcoming obstacles, because their focus was on all that was still not done. 2-Our expectations of the distance we have to travel or the things we have to do before we can celebrate are too far away—like the drive to Disneyland…are we there yet?????? 3-The struggle we have with our identity around winning and celebrating ourselves and others.   I have asked hundreds of people if they feel like they are winning, most say “no or not really”, and when I ask them how often they celebrate themselves with a “way to go, a high-five, or I am proud of you”, there is often silence. In my opinion, all of us crave to win more often in the things that matter most. Our ability to create the culture we desire in our marketplaces is often defined by our ability to identify and celebrate more often the small wins for ourselves and others. If it would serve you to increase the wins and celebrations in your life and business, please DM me.
