Thrilling to see my feed with news of so many being promoted or starting new roles, joining new groups! Looking forward to reading about all of our amazing contributions to your industries and teams. Have you made a move recently? Comment below:

THE POWER OF SAYING NO ✋🏻 Embracing the power of saying "no" has been a transformative journey for me, both personally and professionally. As I get older, I’ve become bolder in setting boundaries around what I do and don’t want to do. But we have also adopted this approach in business. Staying true to who we are and our long-term goals is incredibly important to us. Therefore, if an opportunity doesn’t align with our vision, we graciously decline. What this has led to is Pop Up Global positioning itself exactly where we want to be in the industry – attracting the right clients, the right talent, and the right opportunities. This doesn’t mean we aren’t grateful for every opportunity that comes our way. It means we are strategic in selecting the opportunities that will ultimately lead us to our goals. Saying “no” (respectfully) can often be the best decision you make.

Excited to share some personal and professional news 🌟 I’m thrilled to share that I’m starting a new position this week. As I step into this new chapter, I’m taking some time to be intentional about reflection and setting intentions. Reflecting on my past position has been incredibly valuable. It’s given me the opportunity to celebrate the achievements, learn from the challenges, and appreciate the experiences that have shaped my journey. Each moment has been a stepping stone, preparing me for what’s ahead. Now, I’m setting clear intentions for my new role. I’m focusing on who I want to be, how I want to show up, and the impact I aim to make. Transition periods are perfect for this kind of introspection – they allow us to reset, reframe, and recharge. Here’s to new beginnings, continuous growth, and making meaningful contributions! #NewBeginnings #CareerTransition #Reflection #Intentions #GrowthMindset

🌟 6 months down, countless possibilities ahead! 🌟 I can hardly believe it’s been half a year in my current role! It feels like we’ve achieved so much, yet we’ve barely scratched the surface of what’s possible – the momentum has been incredible, and we’ve already made big changes in such a short time 🚀. But more than anything, this journey has reaffirmed one crucial truth for me: It’s all about relationships. Whether it’s collaborating with key stakeholders, working with my brilliant team, or being in awe of the dedication I see from the amazing teams in the restaurants every time I visit! 👏, it’s these connections that make all the difference. As I look forward to my 6-month review next week (wish me luck! 😅), I’m feeling excited, energised, and most of all, grateful for the fantastic people I get to work with every day. Here’s to the next 6 months of growth, impact, and even stronger relationships! (And in case you’re wondering about the image below… yep, that’s me at a team-building event, completely out of context, holding a crossbow. I’m considering taking it along to my review… 🤔😂) Let’s keep the momentum going! 💪🎉 #6MonthsAndCounting #BuildingRelationships #Teamwork #Growth #Gratitude #OnwardsAndUpwards

🎉 Celebrating a Year of New Beginnings! One year ago, I made the bold decision to leave my previous position. Despite my best efforts, I couldn’t achieve the progress I wanted. I lacked the support to lead effectively, faced dishonesty, and often felt undermined. This journey taught me five invaluable lessons: 𝟭. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: A supportive company culture is crucial for success. Leading a team and achieving goals without the necessary support and resources is challenging. 𝟮. 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘆: Experiencing dishonesty from various organizational levels taught me the importance of integrity. Trust and transparency are fundamental to a healthy work environment. 𝟯. 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗢𝗻: Understanding when a situation is no longer beneficial is vital. Recognizing when to move on for personal and professional growth is also important. 𝟰. 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺: Despite the toxic environment, I had a fantastic team. Their dedication and talent were highlights of my time there. I miss them and the good moments we shared. 𝟱. 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲: This experience made me stronger and more resilient. It reminded me that there’s an opportunity to learn and grow even in challenging times. In one year, I have created a much healthier and more productive environment for myself. Plus, I can travel more. 😀 Here’s to new beginnings and striving for a positive and impactful career! 🚀
