"Years ago, I was recruiting at Braums and we had hired a former Waffle House employee. Throughout her training, she kept comparing everything to how things were done at Waffle House, insisting that their methods were superior. Every step of the way, she would say, 'At Waffle House, we did it this way...' Finally, the manager had had enough and took her to the window, pointing at the Braums sign outside. 'What do you see?' She asked. 'That says Braums, not Waffle House!' Sometimes it's important to embrace change and adapt to new environments rather than clinging to the past. #Adaptability #WorkplaceHumor"

My first Berwins networking event...to be honest its been the first networking event I've been invited to by a firm I've worked for. I know...you saw my job role, rolled your eyes and thought "I know why" 🙄 But don't always rule us out. It's probably in part down to us as individuals and our professional experiences, but whose to say that colleagues from 'support functions' can't add value by getting involved in networking? Having said that, the test will be if I get invited to another... 😆 #networking #newcontacts #collaboration #businessdevelopment
How it started... How it ended... Berwins has always had Harrogate at heart, so it was fantastic to welcome so many guests to West Park yesterday to get together and celebrate that connection. Thanks to all who made is such a successful evening and who make Harrogate such a great place to work and do business.

Also, I have learnt so much in the last year and a half, and there is still so much to learn. Bring on the challenges! :) #lifeatowlatone #L&D #lovelearning #growthmindset

Altana just announced a big funding round today 🦄 ! I know our CEO, Evan Smith, from an ugly Christmas sweater party back in 2011. Based on our cocktail conversation, it was clear that he was thinking deeply about how to change the world while I was thinking about where the after-party was. We kept in touch, and when he told me about the idea for Altana, I told him I was ready to help. He pointed out that I had never worked in the private sector, nor in logistics, and that I might not be a great early stage company hire... FAIR POINT. Undeterred, I had one thing I could bring to the table, and that was to ask everyone I could for introductions to top-shelf VCs who would take a meeting with Evan and the team. It took a few weeks, but I landed the meetings, which became capital relationships for the company. That gave me the opening to ask for a trial consulting gig with Altana, and after three months I was hired full-time in 2020. What are the key takeaways from that story? 1. Ugly Christmas sweater parties are the hunting grounds for outsized returns. 2. People kind of love being asked for favors. I find the downside of asking for a favor (like an introduction to a new connection) is pretty limited. When I think about the times I have been asked for a favor, if the lift isn't too high, I love the opportunity to help. There's satisfaction in helping people along in their journeys.

Incredible work being done in Brewerytown of #Philadelphia. Naturally, it got its name because of the numerous breweries that were located along the Schuylkill during the late 19th century and early 20th century. Lately, and for the past 5 years or so, Brewerytown has seen a recent influx of young professionals, and it is considered a neighborhood on the rise. Block by block, these streets are coming to life. Might even be nicer than your neighborhood. Excited for what's to come for this neighborhood here. -- #commercialrealestate #realestate #capitalmarkets #structuredfinance #philadelphia #multifamily #condominiums #parking #development #luxuryhomes #avlvarchitecture #avlvdevelopment
