CCG/ZGDV Institute’s Post

Calling all CNM grads - if you can make it, I hope to see you at the department homecoming event this Friday (link below)! Do join us to plug in! I remember the first time I felt like I was a part of something larger than myself - it was my days as a Girl Guide, when I first learned this idea that "Once a Guide, Always a Guide" - it was about how the shared values we learned in guiding would always be part of our identities and way of being. What does it mean to be an alumni for the department? I think and hope it means two things: 1. That the department has shaped and will continue to shape your professional and personal development; 2. You'll be willing to share your experiences with the department and others (young and younger). And once a year, we can come together as a community - CNM Assemble!

Amazingly, it’s already one week from our launch of Omni™. And the feedback, response and reaction has been both energising and rewarding. At BAT, we set about to create a platform, a thought-leading, forward-looking compilation of the scientific and real-world evidence of THR in action. Yet, more than that, what motivated us most was the desire to elevate the conversation, to trigger debate and to encourage all stakeholders to ‘join the conversation’. And, in that regard, the global response has been most pleasing. More than ever, it is critical that we drive toward multi-stakeholder solutions, founded in robust whole-of-society dialogue and debate. We don’t have all the answers alone, however, by coming together, by reaching across the aisle, by focusing on where we are aligned, we can create real-world solutions together to accelerate a pathway to a smokeless world. If you haven’t already, please join us on this Omni™ journey, at https://lnkd.in/eb_XXQ5C, by downloading Omni™. Omni™ - “review the evidence, join the conversation”. #OmniLaunch #THR #ABetterTomorrow #SmokelessWorld #TobaccoHarmReduction

Creative teams in licensing, are you ready to take the mic? The NJCI survey reveals that the average score for the statement "the creative teams in my industry are vocal representatives of their companies" is just 5.8 out of 10. This lukewarm sentiment highlights a significant opportunity to change the narrative. In our latest #NJCI #Insights blog post, we discuss why creative teams need to make more noise and how to overcome the obstacles in doing so. From breaking the ‘colouring-in’ stereotype to positioning creative departments as profit centres, we offer actionable strategies to elevate your profile both internally and externally. Dive into the blog to discover how you can showcase your contributions, foster stronger connections, and highlight your work.

Have you ever heard of the HBDI Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument? It's an incredible tool for measuring and understanding people's thinking preferences. This month, I had the privilege of attending an HBDI workshop at Bühler Group Headquarters at Uzwil, Switzerland and completing the assessment. The highlight? An insightful debrief with HBDI Guru Theresa Keil, who guided me through my results. And wow—what an experience! 🙌 The process gave me a profound understanding of how my brain works, highlighting my thinking preferences, uncovering areas for growth, and even revealing strengths I didn’t realize I had. The insights from HBDI are already reshaping how I approach decision-making, collaboration, and problem-solving. Here’s why this was such a game-changer: 1) Improved Self-Awareness: Recognizing my thinking styles and how they influence my actions. 2) Better Collaboration: Understanding diverse preferences to connect more effectively with my team. 3) Limitless Possibilities: Realizing that my perception of who I am should never limit me. A huge thank you to Theresa Keil, Marcello Fabbroni, Richard Vonlanthen, and the entire team for organizing this transformative workshop. Your efforts truly made a difference! Special shoutout to AMITH S KUMAR, Tridev G, Clément ZEMERLI, and Eleonora Giovannini—it was inspiring to learn and grow together. The potential of the human brain is truly fascinating, and this experience reminded me that we are capable of more than we imagine. If you ever get the chance to explore HBDI, I wholeheartedly recommend it #HBDI #SelfAwareness #TeamDevelopment #ContinuousLearning

This week, the evaluation of events submitted to the world's largest #competition Eventex is taking place. A competition in which I have the honor to be on the jury, together with the #best #experts from all over the world. While I am not allowed to reveal either the categories or the works that I judge in the jury, many people ask me what I expect from the applicants. Here it is, very simply: 🔘 A surprise. Regardless of whether the project is small or large, it must be able to surprise with creativity, non-standard solutions or presenting classics in an innovative manner. So that I myself want to exclaim: "Why didn't this idea occur to me?!" 🔘 A meaningfulness. Even if significant changes in attitude, behavior, and understanding of society do not occur immediately after one event, we must work so that the works we create provide added value, promoting positive changes in the long term. So that I also see the sense in the tools used, where they help to flesh out the idea, rather than being put in just because it's 'trendy'. 🔘 The breath of the world. I want even in local scale projects to feel the relevance of the world, issues that appeal to different target audiences, the ability to live with the times, even ahead of them. 🔘 Emotions. An event without emotions is like a person without a soul. We work in the most volatile and at the same time the most stable industry. We can work on one project for four years, then dismantle it overnight, and everything is gone. On the other hand, if we have been able to create true emotions, some may even remember them for the rest of their lives. So no matter what we think, people will forget what's said, they'll forget what's done, but they'll never forget how you made them feel.
