School is out and summer days are here. Most offices will slow down and the team will be on holiday in the coming weeks. Use this time to receive ideas and inspiration from your team. → Open a forum for them to send in ideas and share them for others to improve. → Summer offers a break from routine. Encourage your team to think creatively and propose innovative solutions. → Host casual brainstorming sessions where team members can freely share their thoughts. These relaxed settings can spark great ideas. → Use digital collaboration tools to gather ideas from team members, even if they are on vacation. This ensures continuous input and engagement. → Acknowledge and celebrate small wins and contributions. This keeps morale high and shows appreciation for their efforts. → Ensure all ideas are documented and shared within the team. This fosters a culture of openness and collaboration. Capture that magic as it happens and keep the momentum high even as things slow down. By embracing the relaxed pace of summer and fostering a culture of creativity and collaboration, you can turn this downtime into a period of growth and innovation for your team. What strategies do you use to keep your team inspired during the summer months? ___________________________ 🔔If you enjoy my content, follow me Sunil Khatri for more in the future. 👋 If you have any questions, I'm just a message way. ♻ Found this post useful and think your network will to?

I don’t know about you, but have you ever noticed how Wednesdays around the office can feel sort of like the ultimate standstill? Here’s my idea around this for leaders… Why not jazz the middle of the week up with a spontaneous challenge? 🎺💥 We can call it: #WildcardWednesdays, where midweek becomes the official home of the unexpected at the office. 🃏 This week, why not have your team swap roles for an hour? For example, the marketer becomes the coder, the coder steps into sales, the salesperson tries their hand at graphic design… Just imagine the insights and laughs your team will share! 😂🔄 But here’s the real gem… 💎Doing this can help your team to appreciate each other’s roles, discover hidden talents, and maybe even uncover innovative ideas with fresh eyes! 🕶️👀 Plus, it’s a fantastic way to build empathy and teamwork! 🙌 So, who’s ready to shake up the week and maybe learn something new about themselves and their teammates? Comment below with the role you’d like to swap into! 🎤👇 PS: Are you a Visionary who wants to break the midweek monotony and spark some real innovation in your team? Let’s talk about how to make every Wednesday more productive than ever before! Reach out, and let's get creative together! 🎤👇 #WhyNotWednesday #RoleReversal #TeamSpirit #InnovativeThinking

Has the art of celebrating wins been lost in the post-lockdown workplace? 🎉 After leaving a big NewGen pitch the other week I was excited to lean into that unmatched post pitch high. Instead the team immediately jumped on their phones to check slack and stress about how much work had come in over the past hour. It left me feeling deflated and got me thinking about a much needed culture shift, that I feel can't be unique to our agency! Since the shift to hybrid and remote work, it's become so easy to let wins – big or small – slip by without celebration. Pre-pandemic, we'd pause for lunches together, coffee breaks, after-work drinks, or a quick team huddle to acknowledge the achievements that kept us motivated and connected. Now, with everyone running on churn mode, those moments feel like a luxury. The grind continues, one project after another, with little room to stop and reflect on what’s been achieved. Yes, we’re more productive, more independent and more flexible. But in this fast-paced new norm, celebrating ourselves and our teams shouldn't be forgotten. It’s the small wins that build momentum, foster connection, and remind us why we love what we do. So let’s take a moment to recognise the efforts – no matter how small – and bring back the joy of celebrating progress. 🏆 What win are you celebrating today? ✨ #OfficeCulture #WorkplaceWins #PostLockdownDynamics #EmployeeRecognition

The 4-Hour Workweek Reality ⏳📊 A lot of people have asked me whether a four-hour workweek is feasible, especially in today’s economy. I’ve given this a lot of thought and reflection. 🤔 The simple answer is: Yes, it is possible, *but* there’s groundwork that needs to be laid first. 🛠️ So, what does that entail? It means setting up multiple streams of income, creating and perfecting efficient systems, automating your business processes, and knowing when to outsource. The journey to a four-hour workweek begins by getting all your systems and processes out of your head and into an optimized, automated flow. 💡🤖 This isn't an overnight transformation. It demands a commitment to systemizing and optimizing your workflow and a willingness to invest time initially to reap the rewards later. 🔄⏱️ If you are serious about achieving this, I have a free resource to help you systemize, optimize, and automate your client journey—your primary moneymaker. Just comment "moneymaker" and I'll send it over. 💰📩 Believe in the process and get started today! 🚀🌟 #ClientJourney #EntrepreneurLife #Productivity #EfficientBusiness #AskYvi

#Week 294 of positive energy to everyone This week and very relevant for me in the workspace I am in currently "Success is not just about achieving individual goals; it's about fostering a culture where every member feels valued, empowered, and inspired to contribute their best." Working on a Skills Architecture that will work for everyone, listening carefully to Business, Tech, HR teams have to say or suggest is immensely humbling as there is no right or wrong answers here, just ideas that need to be tested to work. This becomes the foundation to our future ways of working and culture - It is about the team, not about me or you as an individual. Have a great week! #Teamwork #InnovativeIdeas
