Mark Knowlton’s Post

After attending Steven Bartlett's The Diary of the CEO in Adelaide, I didn't know what to expect, and it totally blew my mind; if you can see him, do it. I have learned so many valuable lessons, and these are some of them: ✅ You have 5 buckets: knowledge, skills network, resources and reputation. The most important thing is knowledge and skills because they are the ones that will let you reinvent yourself many times. ✅ Always keep aware of the details in your company or your career; this would keep you apart from competence. ✅ You have to grow your brand by being consequent and true to yourself; you don't have to be thinking of pleasing everybody. It is better to be transparent and you would connect with people like you. ✅ Be aware of what to invest your time because it is the only thing that cannot be recovered. Invest in experience instead of material things. (I'm so glad my husband told me to go; it was a superb experience) And so many more, but I don't want to spoil it for you.

🌟 Why I Smile at Work 🌟 At ACE Chicago Events, there are many reasons why I smile at work: 1. Teamwork: Our collaborative culture ensures everyone feels valued and heard. 2. Recognition: Celebrating achievements keeps us motivated and happy. 3. Communication: Open dialogue builds trust and transparency, making work enjoyable. A positive work environment boosts morale, productivity, and creativity. What makes you smile at work? Share your thoughts!

🚀 Wow, can't believe it's Friday already! Flashback to last week when I was geared up to see Steven Bartlett at the International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney). What an inspiring event, his connection with the audience was unreal!   But let's talk "BUCKETS". Stevens wisdom on filling these 5 buckets hit me hard: 🪣 Knowledge 🪣 Skills 🪣 Network 🪣 Resources 🪣 Reputation My takeaways…   🔸Fill 'em up, starting with skills and knowledge, and let them overflow because life doesn't pause. Keep aiming for those daily 1% gains – they add up big time!   🔸Nurture your natural talents and find that rare complementary skill. And remember, don't just follow the industry – disrupt it! 🔸Jellybeans - Life is preciouse - Enjoy the Journey (My Fav)   Happy Friday everyone, make it a fantastic weekend! #HumanRecruitment #ArcqTalent

Over the past 4 week or so, I have been talking about Kurt and myself going over to Perth and speaking at an event over there. Well guess what, blink and you missed it. It was on last Friday. Firstly, I want to thank Reena, not just for her help the last 9 months helping plan this, but everything over the past 5 years. I would also like to thank Carla, Yolanda, Alex, and everyone at the #QV1 building, for letting us use their brilliant room. For our first event in #Perth I couldn't ask for a better venue. Also their help organizing things, and not getting too annoyed by me going around making sure everything would run smoothly. Of course, I would also like to thank the people that came out on a Friday afternoon to see our messages, I am sure you guys got some takeaways, had a fun evening, and walked away pumped up and full of Vitality. As we come to the end of the year and conferences are getting planned, feel free to reach to find out more about my 5 Steps Towards Improved Vitality talk, and how I could get working with you and your company to increase innovation, morale, productivity and therefore profitability within your business. #speakers #corporatespeaker #eventmanagers #perth #motivation #inspiration #personaldevelopment #mindset #winning

Talk about plenty of horsepower in the stables! The diversity might be hard to see, but then, who judges a book by the cover? The important factor with diversity is using it. Can't do that without open and honest conversations, which this team knows how to do.

London looked majestic early on this cold winter morning. A lovely sight to behold as I travelled to our client Prime Property Management. So we know that living and breathing company values is central in creating a high performing culture- but what does that mean for each and every team? Dr Glenda Rivoallan and I have worked with each and every team at Prime over the last couple of months to set an agreed way of working. Working together, led by the team to identify strengths, set the team vision, define the brand of the team and being honest about what each member will bring but also what they expect to see. This raw honesty provides psychological safety and a clear way of working. What I love is how different each team is - and the smiles as we identify each others strengths 😍 It’s key that this is a working charter, something to help team boundaries, expectations and drive behaviours that will empower your team thrive despite the challenges. Never left in a file , but referred to and amended over the year. When was the last time you set your way of working? If you haven’t done it- or have done it but haven’t referred to it recently - the start of a year is a great time to do it! Let’s make your team a team that thrives in 25!⚡️
