🌟 Day Two in the Books! A Few Reflections 🌟 To be honest, I was a bit nervous about starting this new chapter. 😦 Not in an "oh no, I'm not sure this was the right decision" or "I'm not sure I can deliver on my new responsibilities" way, but like a "this is exciting" feeling, with a tad of nervousness about how everything would play out. And those feelings are pretty normal, I'd guess 😉 I'm not a shy guy, I love a challenge - and I don't normally tend to get nervous about too much in generel... but it's still a whole new country and a completely different role and team. 😬 I'll allow it. HOWEVER, after just two days, it already feels like I’ve been here for a long time. Definately a lot longer than just two days! 😎 Staying within the same organization definitely has its perks, even though a new role always means embracing change, being open, a lot of listening, and absorbing a lot of new information. A few of my first impressions 👇 🤝 The Team: I am working with incredibly talented colleagues who have high ambitions and a proven track record for delivering results. 💖 The Culture: A collaborative and dynamic environment that fosters growth and creativity. 🎯 Exciting Projects: There are so many exciting projects underway that I can’t wait to dive into and develop further. For now, my primary focus is on building new relationships, understanding the dynamics, and prioritizing tasks that make the most sense to tackle first, in collaboration with my team of course. And that's actually not completely easy for me, especially since I tend to want to do everything at once. 🤣 So one step at time it is.. 👞 The first days have gone really well, and the commute over the bridge each day wasn’t as daunting as I had feared. The next few days promise even more insights and visits with colleagues. And on Friday morning, I’ll be starting my summer vacation, recharging for the work that awaits on the other side. 🤗 🙏 Thankful for the awesome welcome I've received, it really makes a huge difference! And I'm still as excited about the future as I was before yesterday. #LifeAtSecuritas #Reflections #NewBeginnings

Are You Just Working for the Weekend? I used to operate restaurants in my career, and absolutely loved it...until I didn't love it anymore. While I had multi-unit leaders reporting to me, and still had to work on the weekends in one shape or another, I was able to have some down time. I oftentimes found the week dragging along, and Friday couldn't come soon enough. It’s a familiar story for many—counting down the days until the weekend, only to repeat the cycle all over again. Did you know the majority of people feel disengaged during their workweek, always waiting for it to end? What if I told you that breaking out of this cycle might be simpler than you think? You don’t need a magic formula to start making independent money or to get ahead in your career. Here's what you really need: 🔥 The ability to stay focused on long-term goals, even when it's tough. 🔥 A can-do attitude that believes in solving problems and 'figuring things out' as they come. 🔥 A Career Ownership Coach that can help you navigate your learning. That’s pretty much it. These three concepts can set you on a path less about working for the weekend and more about creating a fulfilling week every week. Why not start today and allow me to help you navigate and learn all about how this could truly be a possibility for you.

Last day of the week: I had few interesting meetings and conversations today. One question really poked me hard enough to put it here. The question was: Do you want to become rich with lots of money? First thought in my mind was who doesn't. For me, I have enough to be able to take care of my family. I am happy with where I am, but I definitely want my company to be rich, my employees to be rich, my attendees, speakers, sponsors to be rich and in return, I get to be rich with satisfaction. One more quote I learnt this week is "Givers, Gain" It's a never ending journey that I am on and I know I will never retire from this and because I love what I do. As the normal work week comes to an end, I ask you: Are you better than last week? I AM !!! #bebetter #continuousimprovement #foundersnote

If you’ve got no time to think, you’re squandering your greatest asset. Space to think is like gold dust these days in our always on, busy culture. That’s a problem when you’re an introvert. You do your best thinking when you reflect inwardly (not in those endless chatterful meetings you spend half your life in). I’ll bet that when you have time to think you come up with innovative ideas and solutions to problems. But that you rarely get these chances despite being paid to think creatively and strategically. My working holiday this week was supposed to include time to produce XYZ pieces of writing. Words on page at the end of the week? Zero. After beating myself up for a few minutes for not being ‘productive’ I realised I’d fallen into a trap. I’d assumed thinking isn’t work. Actually, this week I’ve been very productive if I count thinking through and making decisions about some work-related challenges that have been bothering me for weeks. The lightbulb moments came thick and fast on a 10km coastal walk (not at my laptop). I could sit on the train back to London feeling frustrated at my ‘lack of progress’. Or I could recognise that thinking through stuff *is* progress and will make me more effective. I realise how privileged I am to be able to take myself off for a working holiday (benefit of self-employment). You probably can’t do that. But you *can* find other ways to create space (even if you scoff and think you can’t). What would make it possible for you to have time to think?

It’s good to be back! As I return to the office this week, I realize how happy this makes me feel. Returning after summer vacations it’s a fresh (re)start. As much or even more as January. ✨ Missed my team and work colleagues, I’m excited to continue and start new projects, to talk with customers, visit the sites and more! This return had the bónus of meeting incredible new colleagues from HRA PHARMA RARE DISEASES ✨ The school year begins, and so does the design of the next year (personal and professionally). 🚀 Let’s harness our renewed energy and clarity coming from vacations, to tackle the challenges and opportunities ahead! My notes to self: 1️⃣ **Prioritize and Plan**: Take a moment to review your goals and make sure you plan ahead of time. Set clear priorities to maintain focus. 2️⃣ **Reconnect and Communicate**: Use this time to reconnect. Clear communication is key to ensuring everyone is aligned and motivated. 3️⃣ **Be Accountable not miserable**: Deliver what you promised, solve things in need, but do not take things too seriously. This doesn’t add anything to you or others. 4️⃣ **Keep learning and experimenting** remember that 70% of our learning comes from experience and 20% from people around us. Cultivate a growth mindset and a child curiosity. 5️⃣ **Focus on Well-being**: Continue the positive habits cultivated during the break. A healthy mind and body are essential for sustained productivity (and longevity). Welcome back! Let's make this new beginning count! 💪 #restart #backtowork #wellbeing

Yesterday I was in the elevator at the end of the day with a woman who works on another floor in the building than me. We said hello and I asked her how her day has been. Her answer was interesting to me. She said: "Good, I just wish there were a couple more days to the work week." referring to her wanting the work week to be longer in order to accomplish more. This got me thinking. We are so used to hearing about people wanting the work week to be shorter or looking forward to the week being done. It was (sort of ironically) refreshing to hear someone say they wish the work week was longer. I am not saying people should all be workaholics and focus all their time on work. It can often be taken that way to suggest resistance to a shorter week etc. Lately I have been feeling this way - being excited about the work I am doing at Starboard Recruitment and wanting to accomplish more. This in turn is resulting in growth and fulfillment. What are your thoughts? Do you end your week glad to be done or eager to do more? Nothing wrong at all with rest and having balance, just an interesting dynamic to be aware of and to think about. I believe a big part of it is working within a role that aligns with your values and also knowing when to turn it off and focus on other parts of your life. Thoughts?

So it’s Sunday morning and many are preparing for the new work week. This could be mentally, emotionally, and even physically. It’s a good ritual to get set up for the coming week but not at the risk of not being present in your own life and family. I ask that the people who work with me, please be present when we have meetings or are in front of our clients. It is important to note that I ask the same of them while they are at home. I am guilt of not being present while at home because work is such a large part of my life for both positive and negative reasons, but it doesn’t change the task. You see, I understand the hustle that a career gives, yet I also understand the struggle of being present for everything else outside of work. My mentor always said, “If you don’t work your desk, your desk will work you.” I truly believe that when the final bell of life rings, we may will be full of regrets if we don’t get our priorities right, right now. So on this Sunday, I am asking people to work on being present in both work and home. This is a task that we will do side by side, as I need to work on this as well. Please be present for work and your meetings but equilly as present at home and in your life. It will be hard to do at first, but are the most important things in life hard at first? If you have been following me, you know that I say, get comfortable being uncomfortable! This is where you learn the most! Have a great week! Be present, and do amazing things!!
