Happy Friday, Black Professionals Ireland! We often celebrate successes, but what about failures? Those moments that tested our resolve, pushed us to grow, and taught us invaluable lessons. Let's talk about that kitchen disaster that turned into life lessons It's Saturday morning. You're attempting a new recipe for a fancy brunch, feeling like the next Masterchef. Fast forward 30 minutes, and your kitchen looks like a war zone, the smoke alarm is blaring, and your "gourmet" meal resembles something from a sci-fi movie. We've all been there, right? But here's the thing, that culinary disaster might just teach you more than any successful meal ever could. Maybe you learned about the importance of "mise en place", or discovered that multitasking isn't always the answer. So, the next time you encounter a roadblock in your career, remember: It's not just about the outcome; it's about the lessons learned. Let's turn those professional "disasters" into culinary triumphs by embracing the learning process. You can share in the comments below a time when a mistake actually led to a breakthrough, and what you learned from it? #BlackProfessionalsIreland #WeekendReflections #FailForward #ProfessionalGrowth #ResilienceInBusiness #LearningFromMistakes

When One Door Closes, Another One OpensIt’s true what they say—when one door closes, another one opens. What I’ve realised along the way is that the people around you are the ones who help you find that new door and push you to walk through it.After being made redundant, I decided to take the leap into self-employment as a painter and decorator. It has been a rewarding experience, full of hard work, learning, and a lot of hustle. I found excitement in the challenges and a deep satisfaction in seeing the results of my efforts. It reminded me of the value of persistence and staying focused on the end goal.I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve accepted a position with RACQ. Their values—Show care, Own it, Embrace learning, and Deliver excellence—are principles I’ve strived to uphold throughout my journey, and I’m excited to bring that same mindset into this new role.This experience has reinforced the importance of having a strong support system. The encouragement I received from colleagues, friends, and mentors helped me stay focused and motivated, especially during tough times.Thank you to everyone who’s been part of my journey. I look forward to this new chapter with RACQ and continuing to grow and learn.#NewBeginnings #RACQ #HardWork #Growth #SupportMatters #LearningAndEvolving

Just read the comments.

There is a power in knowing other languages.

The recent Burger King Halloween/Joker/Blackface controversy is a clear reminder: without diversity on teams, cultural awareness falls through the cracks. I came across a comment saying "People of color are tired of calling this stuff out; it's not our job," and while I get the frustration, I have to disagree. I can’t expect my coworkers to be fully aware of my culture, just like I won’t know everything about theirs. It’s on all of us to speak up and educate each other when something’s off. That’s how we grow and actually move forward together. If we can’t connect on this level, are we really working as a team, or just getting things done in isolation?

If you need a jolt of joy and a virtual fist bump 👊 you need to check out this video!

Some clever thematic pricing, that's also appetizing for "value oriented" customers - (like me)😋. One commenter even suggested nickel ($0.05) pricing to represent the original IRT fare maintained for over 50 years.(!) The cobranded wrapper with route strip to Zabar's destination is also nicely done in period appropriate graphics & font. BTW After seeing this add, I will be rerouting my commute to make the most of it ; - )

We get reviews like this every single day. Here's what I think... 3 words: Commitment. To. Excellence. That's what we bring to the table. How important is customer experience to you? Let me know in the comments below how you separate yourself from the competition! #Moving #Relocation #MovingSpecialist #CustomerExperience #CustomerService

🎵 Girls Just Wanna Have Fun! 🎵 Anybody wanna play??? I am so freaking excited to be co-leading a PLAY shop in Sonoma on Saturday, May 4th from 9:30am - 2:30pm at an amazing location with the fabulous Kelly Lawson McCarthy! The theme of the playshop is: Trusting In Uncertainty What is a PLAYshop you ask?? Well, it’s what happens when you remove all the boring, outdated teaching methods and instructor-led focus from your traditional workshop, and instead co-create the learning experience with you! There will be prompts and questions, opportunities for sharing and learning from one another. There will be powerful questions and in-depth reflection, just the respite your brain and body need in times like these. We will provide resources and tools to play with so you move forward in your personal/professional life with confidence and clarity - no matter what should come your way! But most of all, it’s a chance to get away for some FUN!! 🤩🥳 And did I mention it includes an amazing onsite, chef prepared meal?? 😃 Because this is our passion project for our year long leadership retreat, we have priced our playshop at the no brainer, no profit price of $297… AND if you’d like to bring a friend to learn and have fun with, we will give each of you $100 off ($197) - our way of creating opportunities for shared experience, and deepening the bond of friendship! Space is limited however. https://lnkd.in/gWWmDWMf Registration link in comments below. See you there in May!
