The festive season is here, and the atmosphere in many corporate spaces in the DRC is… unique. (If you work here, you know exactly what I mean.) While many around the world are wrapping up their work, decorating offices, and diving into holiday cheer, the work environment in the DRC tells a different story: • Tight deadlines, even as the year ends. • Team members juggling family and professional obligations. • A strong cultural value of community and connection, even in corporate settings. But here’s the thing: the festive season isn’t just a time to close deals or hit year-end KPIs. It’s a moment to: • Celebrate the wins (big or small). • Appreciate the resilience and dedication of your team. • Build stronger bonds with colleagues as we move into a new year. So here’s my question for you: How is your workplace embracing the festive season? Whether it’s a team lunch, an act of service, or simply reflecting on the year’s journey—let’s make it meaningful. Let’s start 2025 with gratitude, renewed energy, and a commitment to growth. P.S. Don’t forget to pause, breathe, and celebrate. We’ve earned it. Repost this if you agree ♻️ Thank you!

🎄 It’s December – Let the Festivities Begin! 🎄 As the year winds down and the Christmas lights go up, it’s easy to get caught up in the holiday cheer (and maybe a mince pie or two). But amidst all the festive fun, there’s one thing that can stop the celebrations in their tracks: IT downtime. Nobody wants to deal with tech headaches when they should be wrapping presents or planning for 2025. That’s why now’s the perfect time to ensure your IT is ready to face the new year head-on. Whether it’s tackling those end-of-year glitches, upgrading your infrastructure, or mapping out a proactive IT plan for the months ahead, staying ahead and prepared is key. Let’s make sure your business is in top shape for 2025. 📅 Book an appointment for early next year – let’s hit the ground running. 📧 Have an ongoing project or planning IT updates?

🎄 December is Here: A Time for Festivities and Forward Thinking ✨ As the calendar flips to December, it’s easy to get swept up in the festive spirit. Celebrating with colleagues, reflecting on successes, and showing gratitude for the year’s efforts are all part of the season. But December is also a month of dual focus—it’s about wrapping up and looking ahead. While we embrace the joy of the holidays, it's equally important to reflect on the challenges and lessons of the past year. What worked? What didn’t? How can we ensure that the missteps of this year become the stepping stones for a stronger 2024? Now is the time to celebrate as a team and recognize each other's contributions, but let’s not forget to carve out space for thoughtful planning. Whether it’s fine-tuning processes, setting ambitious yet realistic goals, or fostering growth opportunities, December is the launchpad for a fresh start. Here’s to ending 2024 on a high note and setting the foundation for an even brighter year ahead! 🎉 What’s your focus this month? Wrapping up, celebrating, or planning ahead? Let me know below! 👇 #WorkplaceCulture #Reflection #PlanningForSuccess #FestiveSeason #YearEnd

🎄✨ Happy Festive Season & Happy Holidays, Everyone! ✨🎄 Well, here we are! The end of another year – the 12th round of 2024, and let’s be honest… at times, it felt like a TKO! But look at us! We’ve made it through – deadlines, Zoom calls, snack raids, and all the mysterious IT issues that magically appeared 5 minutes before a big presentation. If I had a dollar for every time I heard "You're on mute," I'd be sipping away in the Bahamas by now! *nudge *nudge Acquire.AI we can help you! As the year winds down, I'd like to reflect on: Wins: Crushing goals (well, some of them – gym memberships count even if I didn’t go) Fails: Like me trying to untangle Christmas lights for 2 hours only to discover half the string is dead. Unexpected Skills Learned: The dress attire of Greg Keenan is iconic and must be followed, take notes! Jokes aside... This year was filled with growth, learning, and maybe a little too much caffeine. But the real highlight? The amazing people around me – friends, family, colleagues, and everyone who made the chaos of the year a little more joyful. We've all made it here and that's a testament to you and beating the battles you don't speak about. What's to come in 2025 is something very very exciting...

70 Days Left, 3 Commitments 🏆 As the first signs of the festive season appear (and let's be honest, who doesn't secretly enjoy the festive aisle brimming with biscuits, chocolates, and maybe a twiglet or two?), I've started to reflect on what I want to accomplish before the year wraps up. It's been a milestone year—launching CybAid, marking a full year of self-employment, and juggling the demands of academic life while often asking myself, "What have I gotten into?" Amidst it all, I haven’t had much time to think about what’s next. With just 70 days left in 2024, I’m choosing to set 3 commitments rather than traditional goals. I believe this time of year should be about reflection and intentionality, allowing us to recharge rather than risk burning out by Christmas. 1️⃣ Handing Over the Reins As my business and non-profit aspirations take shape, I've come to realise that I can't do it all—and that's okay. I'm surrounded by talented people for a reason. Over the next 70 days, I’m committing to identifying where my involvement is essential and where I can confidently delegate. My goal is to ensure everything runs smoothly without the need for constant oversight, allowing both my projects and myself to thrive. 2️⃣ Finding My Own Rhythm I’ve experimented with countless online planners and even dabbled in the 5am club, but I still struggle to make a proper to-do list—or wake up before 7am. It’s a reminder that trying to fit myself into others’ routines doesn’t always work. By embracing what truly suits me—like sticking to pen and paper and allowing myself a well-earned lie-in—I’ve found I’m much more capable and productive, and I'm sure I can find plenty more ways to do this! 3️⃣ Taking Some Breathing Time It's something I've often talked about but haven't always managed to put into practice—making deliberate space in my day and throughout the month for activities that don’t involve my phone (especially checking emails). Over the next 70 days, I’m focusing on refining this habit, prioritising time away from screens for a more balanced routine. What are you committing to before 2025? #70DaysLeft #YearEndGoals #IntentionalLiving #SelfReflection #PersonalGrowth #HealthyHabits #WorkLifeBalance
