🎉 The Five Agreements for a Better Workweek 🎉 Happy Friday, Fam! 💖 I came across Don Miguel Ruiz's The Five Agreements, and it got me thinking... these aren't just life rules—they're perfect for navigating our work lives, too! 🧠💼 1. Be impeccable with your word: Whether it's sticking to deadlines or offering feedback, honesty and integrity go a long way. 🗣️✨ 2. Don’t take anything personally: It's not always about you! Sometimes, feedback is just that—feedback. Let’s use it to grow. 🚀 3. Don’t make assumptions: Avoid workplace drama by communicating clearly. Need clarity? Just ask! 📧🤝 4. Always do your best: Whether it's a Monday or a Friday (like today!), giving your best is what sets you apart. 💪🎯 5. Be skeptical, but learn to listen: Ask questions, but stay open. There's always something to learn from every conversation. 👂💡 Which one of these resonates with you the most? Let’s end the week strong and carry this energy into the next one! 🎉💼 #FridayFun #WorkplaceVibes #LeadershipGoals

🚀Your Co-Workers Will Never Forget This Day! Happy Sunday, everyone! Let’s kickstart the upcoming week with a burst of positivity and appreciation. 🤩 Here’s a challenge for you: Write down one positive thing about each of your co-workers. Be as detailed as possible about what you find unique and positive about their skills or traits, and how these have impacted you. We often underestimate the power of small gestures. Here’s how: 1. Grab a Post-It: Write a note for each co-worker. Make it specific and heartfelt. 2. Be Specific: Mention unique skills or traits and the impact they’ve had on you and the team. 3. Place It Where They’ll See It: Make it the first thing they see on Monday morning. Examples: • To Maria : Your meticulous attention to detail in every project ensures we consistently deliver top-notch results. Your dedication inspires us all to strive for excellence. • To David : Your ability to stay calm and collected under pressure has helped the team navigate through many challenging situations. Your leadership is invaluable. • To Emma: Your creativity and innovative ideas have brought fresh perspectives to our marketing strategies. Your enthusiasm is contagious! • To Martin: Your willingness to lend a helping hand, no matter how busy you are, fosters a collaborative and supportive environment. You make teamwork seamless. • To Sarah: Your positive attitude and kindness brighten up the office every day. Your empathy makes our workplace feel like a second home. ☝🏼 Why This Matters: • Builds Team Morale: Recognizing each other’s strengths and contributions fosters a sense of belonging and motivation. • Enhances Workplace Culture: A culture of appreciation and positivity boosts overall job satisfaction and productivity. • Achieves Goals Together: When we feel valued, we’re more committed to our team’s success and shared goals. ✍️ Take a few minutes today to write those notes. You’ll be amazed of the ripple effect of positivity and productivity this simple act can create. Let’s make our workplace a hub of encouragement and excellence! Wishing you all a fantastic week ahead! Please let me know what you think and how it goes 💖 Christina #TeamWork #PositiveVibes #Motivation #Leadership #WorkplaceCulture #SundayThoughts

How was your weekend? As a people pleaser, I find it difficult to put myself first at the weekend. This weekend, however, I did just that, and it's amazing how positive I feel going into this new working week. I feel like I can tackle anything! A deep clean of the house, catching up with friends, dog walks on the beach, reaching new milestones with my newly-backed pony, and a Sunday dinner with family. Nothing groundbreakingly exciting, but exactly what I needed 🥰 I try to practise self-care when I can, but its been too long since I took a weekend to myself, just doing what I wanted to do, and really putting my #Wellbeing first. Today I'm working from home in a decluttered, clean space; my dogs are chilled, and happily snoozing away; and, as I type this, I'm tucking into a delicious bowl of curry, cooked up during some batch-cooking over the weekend to prepare for the week ahead. And I've got to say, this week's looking like a busy one: #BlackHistoryMonth activity in the office, #SchoolGovernor training, career development, and whatever else may come my way. One of my favourite things about a Monday morning is logging in to work and catching up with the rest of the team about our weekend endeavours. So, if nobody else has asked you this today, how was your weekend? Image description: a bowl of chicken tikka masala curry over (too much!) white rice, with a side of frozen veg that I guess would not really go with a curry but helps me hit my 5-a-day goals 🙈

I know that struggle where you feel like it's impossible to switch off from work, and so did one of my coaching clients, an incredibly high performer. She was frustrated, finding it hard to detach from work at night. Sound familiar? I introduced her to a concept that’s been a game-changer for me: planning not just how to start the week but how to end it. We sat down and created a simple checklist for her to follow every Friday, a ritual to officially close her workweek. One key part? Planning the first three things she’ll tackle on Monday morning. There’s something powerful about going through the motions of shutting down your work self so you can fully embrace your personal self. It’s about creating a clear boundary, a ritual that signals the end of work and the beginning of personal time. I’ve found that the only way to truly succeed at this is to be intentional about how you transition back to work. So, give it a shot. Are you someone who could benefit from officially closing the week and opening it up again later? How will you make that happen? Remember, it’s all about balance and making sure we bring our best selves to every part of our lives. Let’s make it happen. #WorkLifeBalance #lifehacks #lifelessons

🌟 **Friday Work Life: The Final Countdown** 🌟 The clock strikes 9 AM. A sense of anticipation hangs in the air—the energy palpable. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee mingles with the faint rustle of paper and the soft click of keyboards. It’s Friday. The end of another chapter in the corporate saga. As I step into the office, I’m greeted by a chorus of “Happy Friday!” It’s a ritual here, a shared acknowledgment of survival and triumph. Each face tells a story—of late hours, conference calls, and last-minute presentations. Meetings come and go. Ideas are exchanged, debates ensue, and laughter breaks the tension. A witty quip here, a sarcastic comment there. This is corporate culture in its finest form. We’re a team. We’re a family. The challenges we face only bind us closer. By noon, the buzz reaches a crescendo. We’ve conquered the week’s battles, and the weekend looms like a beacon of freedom. Discussions shift from quarterly goals to weekend plans. Hiking in the hills, brunch at the new café, perhaps a cozy movie night. The possibilities are endless. But as the day wears on, the excitement builds. That collective sigh of relief. The 4 PM lull hits. Eyes linger on the clock. Two more hours. Just two. Colleagues exchange knowing glances, the unspoken agreement: we’re almost there. And then, just like that—5 PM arrives. The final bells toll. The office erupts in laughter, clinking coffee mugs and excited chatter. “Cheers to the weekend!” someone calls out, and just like that, we are free. We pack up our things, but the camaraderie doesn’t end here. Plans are made. Who’s joining for happy hour? Which bar are we hitting first? As I walk out into the evening light, I carry a sense of fulfillment. The grind. The victories. The friendships forged in the crucible of deadlines and teamwork. Goodbye, corporate jungle. Until Monday. Here’s to the thrill of another week ahead! 🍻✨ #FridayFeelings #CorporateCulture #EndOfTheWeek #Teamwork #WorkLifeBalance

Mondays are my favorite day of the workweek. I’m not trying to be cool or corny by saying this. It’s my favorite because it’s the day I am most motivated. The reason for this is because I go into Monday with total clarity: - I know which accounts I plan to see every day. - I know what days I have cases planned. - I know exactly which Drs, techs, and other stakeholders I need/want to get in touch with and exactly why. - I have my top 4 results of the week that if I get done, makes it a great week. - I know which habits and skills I am working on and block time for those. - I have strategic activities/next steps planned that will get me closer to achieving my top 3 quarterly goals. Of course once the week starts, this could get all sorts of twisted! When that inevitably happens, it’s nice to have this weekly plan written out so you can check it every day in the middle of all the weekly chaos. If you’re a job seeker. Are you planning out on paper which companies you’ll research, which companies have associate sales rep openings, which reps, mgrs, and recruiters you’ll target, which job openings you’ll pursue, and who you plan to follow-up with each week? Or are you winging it?

🎉 Happy Friday, everyone! 🎉 Wow, what a week it's been! Between juggling deadlines, tackling challenges, and celebrating wins, it's been non-stop action from start to finish. But guess what?

Happy Friday, Everyone! As we step into this beautiful Friday, let's take a moment to appreciate the end of another productive week. Whether it's been a week of successes, challenges, or both, today is the perfect day to reflect on our accomplishments and recharge for the days ahead. Fridays are a wonderful reminder that no matter how demanding our week has been, there's always a chance to pause and celebrate our hard work. It's a time to recognize the small victories and big wins alike. Maybe you completed a major project, made a significant decision, or simply stayed consistent in your efforts. Every step forward, no matter how small, is a testament to your dedication and perseverance. Let's use today to set the tone for a positive and productive mindset. Embrace the opportunities that lie ahead, and remember that each day is a chance to learn, grow, and make a difference.

Stay motivated, stay inspired, and remember that every challenge is an opportunity for growth. Let's make this Friday a great one, filled with positivity and purpose. Cheers to a fantastic day and an even better weekend!

When people ask me what I do for "fun," my typical response is boating on a body of water, spending time with friends, lifting weights, drinking wine, and working. Yes, I said work. I seriously love to work and always have. Every one of my former employers over the past 20 years, despite being a salaried employee, has told me to "go home" at least ten times. I love to work—it's the feeling of success, accomplishment, progress, and freedom. I work best in environments that are not your typical office vibes. I need background noise, positive energy, and peace. When those three magically coincide, watch out... I've got something cooking. Why has "working" acquired a negative connotation in our culture? Why do we have to love something else? Perhaps this is why I have become an entrepreneur. The only people who seem to question why I am working at 10 pm with my laptop open on a Friday night are the guys at the other end of the bar who don’t have anything better to do. Do I have fun? Absolutely! I despise that we have somehow ingrained into our culture a 9-5 workweek and anything outside of that is "wrong" or "too much." And yes, of course, let’s not forget the "4-Hour Workweek." Someday I’ll get there. Until then, it’s a lot of super hard work that I love. So for the next guy at the bar, try, "Wow, I love that you are so committed you are working at 10 pm on a Friday night. You must own a company. I don’t want to disrupt you, but if you get to a stopping point, I’d love to learn more." There is rest, and there is work, but there is no such thing as overnight success. To all the hustlers, I see you.

The week is coming to an end tomorrow before you relax and enjoy the weekend, take some minutes to reflect on how your week went. Ask yourself these few questions: 👉 Did I achieve my goal for the week? 👉 Did I finish all the tasks on my to-do list? 👉 Did I learn anything new today 👉 In what area do I need to do better? 👉 How did I speak to myself when I made a mistake? 👉 Was there a better way I could have responded to that situation? 👉 In what way did I make my client's/employer's life better? Also, praise yourself for the moments you did great, you can go ahead to reward yourself. As a VA taking these assessments helps us to hold ourselves to a higher standard, we need to be intentional about our week. This helps us with our work, we are paid to organize people's lives, if our life and week aren't organized how do you intend to carry that over to your work life? Be intentional about your day, week, and life! You can start today, it is not late!!! Remember to have fun this weekend!
