In every corner of our organization, our culture pulses with the blend of what we create and what we experience together. When I think about culture, it’s not only about policies, workflows, or innovations. It's equally about the warmth we bring to our workspace and the memories we build in moments of celebration. Festivals, for instance, are more than just days on a calendar—they’re vibrant threads weaving together our unique cultural fabric. They remind us that embracing our diversity is what makes us whole. When we celebrate, we step beyond our roles and titles, sharing stories, traditions, and laughter. Every festival becomes an opportunity to pause, to connect, to deepen our shared experiences, and to remind ourselves that we’re a team not just in work but in spirit. Let’s continue to embrace these moments and build a culture that thrives not just on what we achieve, but on the experiences that make us who we are. After all, our culture is a living thing—a beautiful mix of our creations and our celebrations Wishing you A Very Happy Diwali #HappyDiwali #Festivities #ColoursandLights #ItaliaGroup #BuildingMaterials

What do you think Diwali means? Diwali is also called the Festival of Lights. It means different things to different people. To many, it symbolizes the victory of light over darkness. This year, Diwali and Halloween were celebrated on the same day. The family celebrated both with vigor. It got me thinking about the importance of festivals in bringing people together. Each festival is a celebration of local culture and traditions that have been carried forward for generations. It’s an opportunity for people to share their culture with others and introduce them to new traditions. If you see a family celebrating Diwali, don’t hesitate to join in. You will be welcomed and appreciated. Who knows, you might make new friends. At Dutch Bros Coffee , we celebrate all festivals with equal fervor. Let’s celebrate each other and enjoy our individual cultures together. May the light of joy and happiness shine upon you always. #construction #coffee #restaurants #environment #teambuilding #careeradvancement #change #experience #business #future #mindfulness #design #artificialintelligence #customerexperience #ai #consultants #leadership #leader #leadershipfirst #europeanleadership #management #qsr # #development #changemanagement #futureofwork #machinelearning #technology #empathy #culture #team #innovation #collaboration #strategy #digital #peoplefirst #motivation #transformation #environment # #restaurantdesign #work #career #ecornell #cornelluniversity #managementdevelopment # #opportunity #customercommunication #dubai #executivesandmanagement #successfulmindset #Entrepreneurship

Why are we losing the Joy of Festivals since recent years!!! This Diwali, I noticed a sentiment expressed by many: “𝐘𝐚𝐚𝐫, 𝐃𝐢𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐢 𝐤𝐢 𝐯𝐢𝐛𝐞 𝐧𝐚𝐡𝐢 𝐚𝐚 𝐫𝐚𝐡𝐢 𝐡𝐚𝐢.” It made me reflect on our changing perspectives. 1 𝐄𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐬: As children, festivals filled us with pure excitement and emotion. 2. 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Today, the constant supply of content often overshadows genuine experiences. Here’s what I’ve concluded: 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: Distinguish between what you have to do and what you want to do. Example : Post pictures if you are happy to do it, just do not feel obligated to do so. 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐒𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲: Spend quality time with family—play cards, some talks with cousins and even carrom will work. Let’s not lose sight of the little joys that truly matter! 🌼

Wish you happy Diwali 🪔 Festivals have always been vibrant expressions of culture, unity, and tradition. However, to keep them alive and meaningful, we need to adapt our approach toward celebrating them and how we interact with each other in daily life. As the world changes, so do our lifestyles and our sense of community. Building a mindset of inclusivity, empathy, and togetherness in our everyday lives can bring new life to our celebrations, making festivals more than just annual events. Instead, they become reflections of ongoing values we share and nurture every day. Otherwise, without these shared connections, festivals may gradually lose their impact and relevance. Emphasizing kindness, understanding, and shared responsibility toward each other in our communities can help ensure that festivals continue to resonate for generations.

#Diwali vs. #Halloween – Where are Our Priorities? This year, Diwali and Halloween happened to fall on the same day. But as I walked through some of Malaysia’s biggest malls, I couldn’t help but feel disappointed. I saw elaborate Halloween decorations everywhere, yet Diwali—one of our most significant festivals, representing light, hope, and unity—seemed almost forgotten. It’s surprising, even disheartening, to see Malaysia, a country known for its rich multicultural heritage, give more attention to a holiday that isn’t widely celebrated here, while overlooking an occasion that holds deep meaning for so many Malaysians. Diwali is more than just a celebration; it’s a reminder of our diverse roots, our traditions, and the shared values that bring us together as a nation. While I respect all forms of celebration, it raises a question: are we truly appreciating our own culture? We have the unique privilege of celebrating multiple festivals together. Let’s give each one its due respect and space, especially those that resonate so deeply with our communities. To all decision-makers and businesses: Let’s remember the importance of inclusion in our celebrations and our spaces. Let’s ensure that next year, Diwali shines as brightly in our malls as it does in our homes. #Diwali2024 #CultureAndIdentity #Malaysia #DiversityAndInclusion #UnityInDiversity #CelebrateResponsibly
