As we turn to 2025, let’s set goals that show who we are, not just what we achieve. It’s about pushing past roadblocks—uncertainty, growth, and competing priorities—to make an impact that resonates. What if 2025 became the year we create goals that fuel purpose, boost engagement, and strengthen resilience? Imagine a year where each goal connects deeply with purpose, creating a workplace where everyone feels valued and ready to make a difference. #PurposeDriven #2025Goals #Leadership

We at Modern People Global are joining Zach Mercurio, Ph.D. to make this “Gratitude Month” truly meaningful. While 90% of us feel grateful for those around us, fewer than half actually express it. In workplaces, only 15% regularly say “thank you.” This “gratitude gap” often comes from underestimating the impact of a sincere acknowledgment. Meaningful gratitude isn’t just saying “thanks.” It’s about affirming people, showing them exactly how they matter. By being specific and heartfelt, we can transform a simple thank you into a powerful recognition of unique strengths and behaviours. Let’s close that gap—think of someone who’s made a difference and tell them how they matter. The right words can mean more than we know. #GratitudeMonth #Mattering #LeadWithHeart #NewWorldOfWork

✨ What Does Success Mean to You? ✨ We use “success” all the time, but what does it really mean to you? Is it numbers? Impact? Or something deeper? As 2025 nears, we’re shifting from just metrics to building a foundation that matters—for teams and for impact. With only 32% of employees engaged, the question is, how do we inspire real purpose, not just presence? Engaged teams drive 21% higher profits and 17% more productivity. It starts with two essentials: 🌍Your Identity – Your identity will be your guide in all decisions. It will lead you through the ebbs and flows, helping you live your purpose, working towards your vision. 💡Your Strategic Plan – Defines each layer in how the identity comes to life. Each pillar provides a building block with actionable goals, enablers and metrics that sit within. What does success look like to you? 🌱 #Leadership #PurposeDriven #TeamEngagement

Have you ever questioned if your current role truly aligns with the leader you want to become? @Marie-Anne Keeffe, Director at @Gobsmaked Media, found the courage to explore this through the Modern Leaders Program. For the first time in her career, she felt empowered to push her own leadership agenda and have those difficult but necessary conversations. #LeadershipDevelopment #Empowerment #ModernLeaders #CareerGrowth

💭Is this the fix we've missed? Replacing a leader can cost up to 200% of their salary, but much of this turnover risk is preventable. The solution? Recognition. Gallup and Workhuman found employees receiving high-quality recognition are 45% less likely to leave. When recognition hits four or more strategic pillars, they’re 65% less likely to job hunt. So, how do we stop the talent drain? Recognition that’s personal, purposeful, timely, visible, and inclusive boosts engagement and keeps employees connected. Yet only 22% feel they’re getting enough. It’s time for intentional recognition. Are you ready to lead the way? #EmployeeRetention #Leadership #RecognitionMatters #CultureOfRecognition #EmployeeEngagement

What is the New World of Work? 🌍 A concept I touched on recently with SEVENTEENx What we do know is work design, work load and ways of working are defined by constant change, disruption, and uncertainty, and traditional models of work and leadership aren’t work-ing. As the expression goes, what got us here won’t get us there. Thank you Mick Hase and the SEVENTEENx team for the chance to share 🙌 Shoutout to the awesome fellow speakers Georgina Camp, S. Mostafa Rasoolimanesh, Catherine Bell, Katie McKenzie, Huia Adkins who shared incredible insights in the ESG and Sustainability sectors.

Did you know that ADHD affects around 1 in 20 Australians? That’s approximately 1.2 million people whose everyday lives are shaped by the challenges and strengths that ADHD brings. Yet, despite its prevalence, ADHD remains widely misunderstood. Early diagnosis and tailored support can make all the difference. By raising awareness, we help remove the stigma and ensure that individuals with ADHD receive the understanding and resources they deserve. Let’s work together to create an environment where everyone thrives. #ADHDAwarenessMonth #Neurodiversity #InclusionMatters
