Economic Developers under 40, have you heard the nominations are open for 40 under 40? If you are or know of an emerging leader in economic development under the age of 40 nominate them today!

Proud to be part of the team and to continue aiming to Greater things. Connecting all local businesses to the right audience by placing them in the middle of it. Not exposing, not aiming with percentage, not covering a large spectrum hoping it hits the right audience somehow. I will put you right on their hands guaranteed they will see you (multiple times if I’m being over-confident) with a fraction of what other “Advertising” businesses charge you. So if you are a business owner in the area or if you know of someone that is, allow me to take you on a very short tour to show you what we do, how we do it and how you can be part of it. I’ll make 3 promises right now: 1. I won’t take more than 30 mins of your time. 2. I will be kicking in at least one discount and up to a max of 3 discounts. 3. I’m buying Coffee ☕️ 📱 702-400-4847 to get into the “MacDonalds Ranch & Highlands Neighbors” Magazine.

When client wins and marketing performance are at the forefront of an organisation, global recognition is inevitable.

We have so many award lists reserved for people 𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥 20, 30, and 40. That's cool and all, but how about we push for some new standalone recognitions from the likes of PRWeek, Forbes, Fast Company, TechCrunch, etc., dedicated to (wait for it) people 𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥 40, 50, 60? Let's call it the "Wisdom Winners" or "Wisdom 50 over 50", you get the idea. Major bonus points if the people selected were relative late bloomers or second actors who hit their stride well after the typical prodigies. People like Morgan Freeman, Rose Blumkin, Bernie Marcus, Ray Kroc, Henry Ford, Martha Stewart, Toni Morrison, Lucille Ball, the list goes on and on. The more resilience, the higher the ranking. I would love to delve into this type of award list, would you?

Last night’s “A Seat at the Table” matchmaking event wasn’t just about connecting BIPOC business owners with our leadership; it was about laying the groundwork for long-term partnerships that drive real change. The moderated panel discussion brought to light some powerful insights that fueled the rich networking that followed. These conversations are the beginning of new opportunities that align with our mission of fostering innovation through diversity. A heartfelt shoutout to Chanel Norton-Lee for her exceptional leadership in shaping our diverse supplier strategy - serving as a trusted partner, expanding our diverse supplier database and curating events (like this) bringing this work to life. With initiatives like our early payment program offer for certified Small and Diverse suppliers, we’re ensuring these businesses have the support they need to thrive from the moment they join our network. Thanks to Dionne Ransom, Johnathan Sosebee and Christian Tobar for making this event a standout success—your dedication was key to bringing our values to life. 👉🏾 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧?

What are your core values and do you live by them every day? We literally live by them and use them on a daily basis. My business partner and CEO Erik J. Olson recently started the Core Value Awards here at our companies. Each quarter he sends out a handcrafted award to each team member that was voted by their peers. Not picked by management or the owners. Voting happens via kudos points on a daily basis which is unique on its own (< Ask me about how we do that) Our core values are Transparency, Quality, Urgency, Winning, and Passion. How do you work yours into every day?

GreenSquareAccord has announced receiving 254 nominations for their Gold Star Awards, describing this as an impressive 42% increase over last year’s entries. However, this claim seems somewhat underwhelming, especially considering their workforce size and the upcoming expenditure for the awards ceremony. To put this in perspective, with an employee base ranging between 1,000 and 5,000, the 254 nominations represent only about 5.08% to 25.4% of their total staff. Last year’s nominations, calculated to be around 179, indicate a low participation rate. Moreover, it is important to note that these nominations are solely from staff members, with no input from customers or residents. This exclusion is disheartening, particularly considering the crucial role that customers and residents play in the organisation’s operations. Their feedback and recognition would provide a more comprehensive and authentic measure of performance and service quality. When considering the costs associated with organising and hosting an awards ceremony, including logistics, venue, awards, and lost productivity, one must question the efficiency and impact of this exercise. The expenditure seems extravagant and not necessarily reflective of broad recognition across the organisation. Given these figures and the lack of customer/resident involvement, it's crucial to consider whether the awards genuinely enhance morale and recognition or if they simply serve as a costly tradition with limited reach. In light of these numbers, the resources allocated to the Gold Star Awards might be better invested in more impactful employee and customer engagement initiatives, or better yet spent making the homes of their residents safe, warm and dry.

Have you got an awards strategy? Most companies I know are very reactive when applying for awards within their industry. They are good to have, but companies do not consider them until someone approaches them to submit for a particular award. If they are lucky, they do end up winning that award. But most of the time, the submission does not result in a win. But the fact is that most companies do have great stories that can be used to win these awards. Are you looking to identify the fantastic stories that your business has that can be used to win awards? Reach out to me, and let's find those fantastic stories you can put forward for award nominations. Let's prepare your awards strategy. https://lnkd.in/gvKUWKTv

Not anymore! With Nominations you can: - Open a Nomination event - Capture votes/responses - Review votes and select a winner or winners - Share recognition with all who received votes (even the non-winners) - Automatically generate a winner slide for your Townhall or All-Hands meeting This is a total game changer 🚀 Link in comments to learn more!
