Yes Girls Podcast

Yes, we went quiet. But for good reason. Two reasons, actually. 😉⤵️ ______________________ 1️⃣ we happen to be in between seasons (just finished season 7) 2️⃣ we are working on a couple of great inter-season episodes, which we love to call Yesticles. 😁 One of them is this one... Can't wait to share it with y'all in a couple of days. ⌛ Stay tuned, and keep saying "yes". #podcasting #podcasters Yes Girls Podcast | Claire Baker Munene | Nyambura Gichohi | Ikigai Nairobi

Taking a step back in time... Yes, Claire Baker and Akumu Fiona were crazy enough to embark on a week-long plant-powered experiment, and here’s the juicy (and mostly leafy) scoop! Read on. https://lnkd.in/dRN7CQxK

I’ve hired 90+ high performers in the last 3 years. Here are 8 rare traits I see in every high performer: 1. Grit This one’s a non-negotiable. What is it? • Ability to persist through obstacles • Strength to bounce back from failure • Tenacity to keep pushing, no matter the challenge Hard work is common. Grit is rare. 2. Relentless Resourcefulness Some people find a way no matter how “impossible” it seems. They are innovative problem solvers. They have the conviction that there's always a solution. These are the people we want. They’re like water. They find a path around any obstacle. 3. Optimism Entrepreneurship is a roller coaster. Having optimistic people on your side is a massive mental boost. Optimistic people don't see roadblocks; they see stepping stones to success. Their energy is electrifying and infectious. A must-have when the going gets tough. 4. Constant Learning The ROI on constant learners compounds. In a fast-moving world, learning and adapting is essential. These hires: • Seek feedback • Expand their skills • Stay curious and hungry Train them well, and they'll give you an infinite return on your investment. 5. Not Being an Asshole It might sound simple, but it's vital. I don’t care how smart, hardworking, or optimistic you are. If you don’t: • Show empathy • Collaborate well • Treat others with respect I don’t want you on my team. Period. 6. Fun to Be Around I need people that I like spending time with. Work can be intense. Having people who bring: • Positive energy • A sense of humor • A lightness to the office Makes a world of difference. When we make work feel like play, we're unstoppable. 7. Growth Mindset This one is foundational. I need someone who: • Embraces challenges as growth opportunities • Believes abilities and intelligence can be developed People with a growth mindset get obsessed with the process. Not fixated on the outcome. 8. Enjoys Responsibility I need my team to take on responsibility. I don’t want to chase people down. If they: • Take ownership of their work • Care about doing a good job We'll perform better. And I’ll have way more breathing room and feel more at ease. — Enjoy this? ♻️ Repost it to your network and follow Matt Gray for more. Want proven systems to scale fast?

I can’t resist saying yes to things, and over the years I’ve become good at blocking out the naysayers… unless they are providing very helpful counsel, of course! Wonderful to join the To Dine For show and discuss everything from how to handle failure, to the lessons I’ve learnt throughout my career. You can find the episode here: https://lnkd.in/gBqSy_gd

Journaling is something else 😄. Do you do it? ________ Probably the most embarrassing episode we’ve done so far mostly because we said yes to reading words from a very very VERY old version of me 😅 Claire Baker was gracious enough not to laugh toooo much😆 And most importantly, this is just one of the 60 episodes of the Yes Girls Podcast that we’ve put out since 2021 💛. Thank you for listening and for giving us the motivation to keep saying YES. 🤗 Season 7 coming soon 🎧🔗 #yesgirlspodcast #kenyanpodcast #podcasting #podcaster
