Bob Graham’s Post

I met Gill Scott FRSA in 2016 at the National Museum. She was humble and knowledgeable right from the start. In 2022, she became my boss, and I learned a lot from her tireless guidance and enthusiasm. Together, we led many successful projects, including our last project "Perfumes of the East" exhibition, which we completed in just seven months - a remarkable feat for an international exhibition. With Gill's guideline everything is possible. I wold like to summarize my experience with this wonderful leader: : ⭐️ No matter how satisfied you feel with your current skillset, there's always room for professional development. ⭐️ Be proactive in your career and take advantage of opportunities that come your way. ⭐️Guiding your employees with compassion and understanding can foster a productive and rewarding work environment. ⭐️Building strong working relationships starts with mutual respect. ⭐️It's important to listen attentively to your employees and understand their needs. ⭐️Always aim to be the best version of yourself, both personally and professionally. ⭐️Achieving your goals often requires hard work and persistence. Don't give up easily! Good luck with your new job at Misk Foundation , how lucky they are 💓

Years ago, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to work with a company my organization acquired in Sweeden. One of my most memorable experiences, second to working with a team of truly amazing people, was seeing the Vasa. At the time I could not have imagined that this 400yr old warship could be viewed as a case study in organizational failure that rings true even today. Also, a sad reminder of how after 400yrs organizations today are still making the same mistakes on projects with deadly results. Here are some of contributing factors that caused the Vasa to sink some 400 years ago, and many are still alive and well in modern organizations: 1- Excessive schedule pressure 2- Changing needs 3- Lack of a documented project plan 4- Secondary innovations 5- Requirements creep 6- Ignoring the obvious

Besides HR, mentorship is where my heart belongs.

In our careers, it's easy to look for quick wins or immediate results. However, the most rewarding achievements often come from consistent effort, persistence, and dedication. Let's embrace the journey, invest in our growth, and strive for excellence🏆. Remember, the most fulfilling destinations require the most effort to reach 🚀. #CareerGrowth #Persistence #Dedication #Resillence #JourneyNotDestination #ProfessionalDevelopment

I just had an inspiring conversation with a fellow coach at CareerFoundry that reminded me of the immense value of connecting with colleagues. Why? These exchanges are not just pleasant catch-ups; they're opportunities for growth, learning, and expanding our perspectives. Here's why I believe that these conversations should be a regular habit: 💡Fresh insights: every person brings unique experiences and points of view, adding new ideas for our own work. 🌏 Cross-cultural understanding: learning about different work cultures and approaches is invaluable, broadening our horizons while learning more about ourselves as well. 🔥 Inspiration and motivation: Hearing about others' passion for their work can reignite our own enthusiasm. 🤝 Opportunities: These connections often lead to collaborations, referrals, or new opportunities we might not have encountered otherwise. So if you are looking for an expert in #negotiation and #interculturality, Ken Tan (CCSP) is the person to talk to! Remember, every conversation is an opportunity to learn something new. Ask yourself: → Who would I like to catch up with, in the next 2 weeks? → What would I like to learn from them? #ProfessionalDevelopment #Networking #ContinuousLearning #CareerGrowth

While the whole country is celebrating the festival of Ram Navami with great joy and enthusiasm, let's draw some inspiration from the journey of Lord Ram and embark on our own quest for career fulfillment. 1. Just like Lord Ram, let's align our career choices with our values and beliefs. Choose a path that resonates with your principles, leading to a fulfilling career journey. 2. Just as Lord Ram faced trials with valor, don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. Embrace challenges as opportunities for growth and learning in your career. 3. Take charge of your career journey like Lord Ram took responsibility for his kingdom. Develop leadership skills and strive to make a positive impact in your chosen field. 4. Just as Lord Ram sought counsel from wise mentors like Guru Vishwamitra and Vasishtha, seek guidance from wise career counselors and mentors. They can provide valuable insights and perspective to help you make informed career decisions. May this Ram Navami be a beacon of light guiding you towards a fulfilling and prosperous career journey.

Reflecting on My GDM Journey: Growth, Gratitude, and New Horizons Stepping into the world of GDM GROUP was like entering a whole new universe. The unexpected question about my spirit animal during the interview (a Wolf, in case you're curious!) hinted at the adventure that lay ahead. Now, six years later, as I prepare to turn the page on this chapter of my career, I find myself awash in a whirlwind of emotions – joy, sadness, and an exhilarating sense of anticipation. Each emotion has played its part in shaping this remarkable journey. During my time at GDM, I've grown in ways I never thought possible. The pressure? It was palpable, growing with each passing day. But I've learned to see challenges as opportunities for growth. With every obstacle overcome, I emerged stronger and more resilient. My pride in how far I've come is deeply rooted in the platform GDM provides. Working alongside brilliant minds, both inspiring and being inspired, has fundamentally shaped who I am today. Looking back, there are a few lessons I've learned that will guide me in the future: the importance of continuous learning, seizing every networking opportunity, and embracing new experiences with open arms. Yet, despite these insights, I wouldn't change a single step of the journey I've taken. From GDM, I carry with me a commitment to excellence and flawless execution – a taste of high performance that I'll always strive to maintain. As I embark on this new chapter, I'm filled with excitement and hope for what lies ahead. To my phenomenal teammates, inspiring leaders, and everyone who has been part of my journey at GDM, I owe you my deepest gratitude. Your support, guidance, and collaboration have made this journey unforgettable. Thank you for every shared experience. As I set out into uncharted territory, my passion for marketing burns brighter than ever as I continue to aim to leave my creative imprints not just in Nigeria, but across Africa and beyond. Here's to new beginnings, boundless opportunities, and the magic we'll create together on this thrilling new path! ✨ PS: I made a short video documenting different moments of my time at GDM, I hope you find it as entertaining and emotional as I did. #GDMGroupAlumni #transition #careerjourney #professionalgrowth #marketinglife #newbeginnings #onwardsandupwards #grateful #growthmindset #performancemarketing #makingmagichappen
