Learn. Earn. Return. Sometimes the most impactful insights come in the unlikeliest places—like a casual conversation on holiday that got me rethinking career development. 📚 Learn: that early career buzz of activity as you build your skills and learn your craft. 💰 Earn: the hard work pays off as you become more senior with a salary to match. 🎁 Return: Earning takes a backseat to contributing, giving back to the industry, to your community. It was shared with as something linear: phase 1, 2, and 3. But I see it as more of a cycle that repeats at different points throughout your career. Whether it’s helping organise the Christmas Party as a marketing exec to joining award panels as a VP now, I’ve always loved finding ways to give back and got so much out of it. When you think about your career as a series of learn-earn-return loops, it opens up new ways to develop yourself and your career as well as helping others. #Marketing #CareerDevelopment #PersonalGrowth

There are still too many early-career professionals who think success is just about working hard and waiting for someone to notice... but here’s the truth: visibility, strategy, and intentionality are what move the needle. ⬇️ On Saturday, I had the privilege of celebrating with a few of my 2024 UK based MVPs—an inspiring group of professionals who have taken their careers from good to great. As we shared stories over dinner, one thing became clear: none of their success happened by accident. Each of them started with a desire to stand out, be recognised, and create meaningful impact at work. But they didn’t just stop at desire. They invested in learning the strategies, building the networks, and leveraging the tools that truly matter for long-term career growth. And the best part? Their journeys didn’t just transform their professional lives—they shifted how they showed up in every space they occupied.

🎤 Why Joining the Speaker Awards is Like Hitting the Career Jackpot – But Way More Fun! 🚀 Picture this: you, standing in the spotlight, not because you accidentally walked into a mime performance, but because you’ve just become a part of something HUGE. Yes, we’re talking about the Speaker Awards, and let me tell you, the launch party on the 15th of March at midday UK time is going to be the bash of the century (no clowns involved, we promise). But why, oh why, should you join the waiting list? Let’s dive into the reasons with a sprinkle of fun and a dash of funny: 1. Catapult Your Brand & Collect High-Fives: Imagine if every time you were nominated for an award, a kitten did a happy dance. That’s the kind of joy we’re aiming for. Awards are your secret sauce, the kind that makes bookers and clients flock to you like seagulls to a chip. Get ready to be the person everyone wants at their party (virtual or not). 2. A Magical Mirror on Your Journey: Entering these awards is like taking a selfie with one of those fancy filters, but for your career. It lets you see just how fabulous you really are, pushing you to strut your stuff and maybe even tweak your performance (duck face not required). 3. A Stamp of Approval from the Cool Kids: Winning or getting nominated is like being handed the ultimate cool kid badge in the playground of professionals. It’s a nod from the industry that says, “You’re awesome, and yes, you can sit with us.” Use it as your secret weapon to open doors, windows, and maybe even some those tricky jars. 4. Supercharge Your Mojo: Nothing says “I’ve still got it” like recognition from your peers. It’s the motivational equivalent of finding an extra fry at the bottom of the bag – a delightful surprise that keeps you wanting more. Let it boost your spirit and propel you to do even more amazing things (cape not included). 5. Unlock the Treasure Chest of Opportunities: This isn’t just about adding a shiny trophy to your shelf; it’s about unlocking a treasure chest of opportunities so big, even pirates would be jealous. Picture yourself attracting the best gigs, sailing the high seas of success, and maybe even raising your fees (sorry, no actual treasure maps provided). Ready to Be the Talk of the Town (in a Good Way)? If you’ve ever left an audience laughing, crying, or just plain inspired, it’s time to step up. The Speaker Awards are your backstage pass to the VIP section of your career, minus the velvet ropes but full of possibilities. Why wait for an engraved invitation? (Spoiler: it’s not coming.) 👉 Join the Speaker Awards Waiting List Now 👈 https://lnkd.in/eswx-93M Mark your calendars for the 15th of March and get ready to party like it’s 2099 – because why not? This is more than just an award; it’s your chance to sparkle, shine, and maybe even do a little victory dance. Let’s make some noise together! Yours in fun, fame, and a little bit of folly, ME and The Speaker Awards Team

On a more serious note, I finally started my VA program, which I've been looking forward to for quite a while now. There have been lots of info sessions and virtual parties with the alx_Africa team, and I'm honestly impressed by how organized everything is. The real learning journey begins next week, and I'm hoping to keep this momentum going strong. 𝐎𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐈'𝐯𝐞 𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤: * Stay curious - always! * Don't be afraid of challenges. Even the good books tell us to expect trials and tribulations as part of life. * Build your confidence DAILY! As I always say, my week has been a 'rollercoaster' of activities. This post might even seem a bit all over the place, but I'm embracing the learning process on this beautiful journey and wouldn't have it any other way.

Earlier in my career, I chose to be paid 40% less, and I don't regret it. Here is the story. ⬇️ At the beginning of my career, I had the choice to join prestigious consulting companies in Paris, with a very good salary. 💰 But there was something that I didn't feel right about. I would join enormous transformation projects where I would be a tiny actor with a lot of pressure and workload.  I could feel the stress on the faces of my potential managers. 😵💫 And a little by chance, I met people from the Decathlon sporting goods company. They were very relaxed, wearing casual sportswear after their daily sport session at lunch. My intuition told me to join them because I felt that it was the best thing for me, even if they paid me 40% less. ⚡️ It was a bit hard for my ego at first, but I can tell you that I don't regret my choice. Why? Because I was already in a field that I was passionate about, sport, with a mission that I found exciting, to make sport more accessible to as many people as possible. 🚀 My managers were wise and positive and gave me a lot of responsibility and autonomy very quickly. Thanks to Fabien Lebas & Robin ALLOUI They gave me a huge project to automate the supply chain of thousands of stores. And they gave me complete autonomy, while I was only 24 years old. 👶 I had the opportunity to explore forecasting models with MIT for more than two years. And thanks to this first project, I was able to travel the world, meet passionate people, develop my skills quickly, gain confidence, strengthen my expertise. 💪🏻 I could finally progress much faster, catch up, and even exceed my delay on my school colleagues' salary. And above all, I gain the freedom to do the jobs that I really wanted while having fun and being able to live in 5 different countries over the last 10 years.😎 The Compound effect of a right decision pay on the long term. It all started with a single decision at the beginning, which was not to follow the best-paid jobs that can be motivated by your school or your entourage. Follow what you are passionate about, and trust your intuition. 🙏 Edouard PS: I am going to share more examples to help you to boost your career while having fun.  Join my live webinar this week (see comment below)

This is going to be a great panel! There are some huge gains to be had here 🤓 #Accountex #Accountex2024 #AccountexLondon #Speaker #FinanceDirector #FinanceLeadership Accountex
