Last night's Oscars gave us many unforgettable moments, but Ryan Gosling's performance as "I'm Just Ken" truly stood out. It was more than entertainment; it was a reminder of the incredible power of fun and memorability in any performance – be it on the stage or in the boardroom. This philosophy of blending fun with serious business echoed vividly at last week's GLOMO and Rhode Sense Movers Party at Prohibition in New Orleans. The atmosphere was electric, filled with jazz, laughter, and vibrant discussions. It was a clear testament to how bringing joy and memorability into professional settings can significantly amplify engagement and results. In logistics, a field often viewed through a lens of complexity and seriousness, this approach is particularly transformative. Working with experts who not only excel in their field but also know how to add a touch of fun and memorability – like the team at Rhode Sense – changes the game. It turns routine transactions into memorable experiences, fostering stronger relationships and smoother operations. At Rhode Sense, we live by the motto "WHERE THERE'S A ROAD, WE'LL FIND A WAY." But let's not forget: the journey is just as important as the destination. Let's make our business interactions not just successful, but also fun and unforgettable. #BusinessSuccess #FunInBusiness #Logistics #RyanGosling #Oscars #RHODESENSE #Networking

One of my favorite things about being a professional traveler is that I get to revisit places and cities that I love often, especially if that special city is close to an airport. I found myself in Seattle this week for a very quick work trip—a place I called home for 10 formative years, and a city that ignited my passion for aviation and living life more deliberately, and cultivated my appreciation for passionate artisans who've mastered their craft. I had just enough time for business and a little wiggle room for a select foodie stop or two, and nothing more. So of course, I bee-lined it to a hidden gem that I knew would bring back the nostalgia floodgates, delight all of my senses, and deliver coffee perfection: enter Storyville ☕️. I'm not going to tell you where this one is, you'll just have to discover it serendipitously yourself, like I did many years ago 😏 It's amazing how a place or an experience can make you feel at home, even when you're across the country, or the world 🌎 The one thing that unites this feeling? I believe it's the intersection of positive nostalgia meets meticulous attention to detail. It's about crafting a compelling story where every element serves a purpose. ⚙️For engineers, it's the seamless functionality. 💡For entrepreneurs, it's solving a problem in a unique way. 🌟For leaders, it's shaping experiences that inspire and resonate. Together, these details turn moments into memories. Because the details matter. There are often so many touch points and so much thought that's designed into an experience or a place that moves you, whether that place is a coffee shop, or an airport, or a sports venue. What touchpoints are you crafting that will linger in someone's memory long after they've engaged with you, or your product or service? I think about this often, as a leader and change agent who is trying to create products and services and experiences that have this magnetic memory-making effect. It's powerful. Where or what in the world brings you as much joy as this cup of coffee did for me? Go after it! Smooth travels out there #RoadWarriors 🛫 #Innovation #CustomerExperience #BrandBuilding

Too much to do and too little time? That's a constant for me. There are always new projects to take on, new things to learn, new and old interests and relationships to nurture, new places to visit....the list goes on :) For years I've been trying out all sort of time/energy management strategies and productivity hacks. Of all these, Mark's #GoZone Framework made the biggest impact by far. It's a matter of looking at your day/week in 3 zones: (i) Get more high-impact stuff done in the Go Zone; (ii) Fully relax and recharge in No Zone; and (iii) Cruise for the rest of the time in Slow Zone. Simple, but very powerful. I first met Mark McKeon as the founder of #Readingraphics when we summarized his book. And I just so much fun doing my first #Growthgarden collaboration with him, where he shared his expertise on the Go Zone program and I shared how I apply it in real life (with tips that anyone can adopt). If you want to get more high-impact done AND enjoy more guilt-free rest and rejuvenation, do try out Mark's concept. It's life-changing! ♥ #Productivity #TimeManagement #EnergyManagement #PeakPerformance #TotalRecovery #GetMoreDone #markmckeon

Live Your Life First Class: You Deserve It I urge you to start living every moment of your life in first class. Living life in first class means recognizing your worth. While a business class ticket may cost three to four times more than an economy ticket, both classes will get you to your destination and provide you with food and water. So, what sets them apart? It's all in the details: a more comfortable and spacious seat, tastier and higher-quality food, and overall more comfort. start Paying attention to the details that can be improved and choose the best of what is available to you: Even something as simple as choosing the more scenic side of the street when walking . . First class is all about the details ! #LiveFirstClass #RecognizeYourWorth #AttentionToDetails #ChooseTheBest #QualityOverQuantity #PersonalGrowth #SelfWorth #ComfortAndLuxury #MindfulLiving #AppreciateTheDetails #FirstClassExperience

Hubby and I went on one of our bike rides on Saturday. It was an unusually nice day for Melbourne! We often get to where we’re going via bike tracks, making it a much nicer ride. Occasionally the track takes us under a bridge, and despite there being more than enough room between my head and the bridge I always duck, afraid of banging my head … lol … But I think this is a common thing we humans do as our perspective gets a bit skewed - if only we could trust we have enough room in spite of what we feel or sense. I think our perception of our own voice is the same. We ‘sense’ we don’t have enough room in our higher range, so we ‘duck’. We feel our range is limited so we don’t venture anywhere beyond our low to mid areas. Did you know this can change and that you can add more to your speaking range? It does beg the question though - why would you want to? Well - imagine having access to greater expression and dynamic power when you speak. How do you think people would respond to you? I know that if I was able to totally trust I had enough room under the bridge I wouldn’t feel the need to duck. If you’d like to know how I could help you find your extra room book a complimentary chat, I would love to help: https://buff.ly/4erI6k0 #voicecoach #voicecoaching #voicetraining #vocalcoach #vocalcoaching #vocaltraining #raiseyourprofile #careergrowth #publicspeaking #publicspeakingtraining #publicspeakingcoach #publicspeakingskills #speakingskills

For almost a year now, each half of [YELLOW CAR] lives in a different country. One of us in based in Bucharest and the other one in Brussels. This means that David and I have to be quite intentional about how we work together when we are together, and how we work together when we are apart. We've learned that, when we are together, we need to to step away more regularly from our desks to reflect, brainstorm, and design the next part of our journey. More often than not, this is where our best ideas are born. #yellowcar #experiencestrategy #wheregoodideascomefrom

Summer Solstice The longest day of the year is a good opportunity to make smart plans to accomplish important goals. Start resolutions - after all, the shortest day of the year is only six months away. That means year end is upon us. Use the fiery energy of today to propel success. Magic was thought to be strongest on the longest day - work magic with creative ideas. Marketers: Ask yourselves a few questions: 1. What have we done in the first half of the year that was magic and built business with our agency partners? 2. How have we inspired our agency partners for the second half of the year and even started pre-planning for 2025? 3. What kind of magical relationships do we have with our agencies? Do we want to have a drink with them - doesn’t have to be rosé in Cannes. Agencies: Ask yourselves a few questions: 1. What have we done in the first half of the year that was magic and built client business? 2. Great that the solstice is during Cannes and we won a Lion (or Lions) but did it (they) deliver business results for clients? 3. What kind of magical relationships do we have with our clients? Were we surprised that a client we thought was solid, started a review? Good reminder if we don’t have great answers to these questions, we must create a business plan and a partnership plan that align with the seasons. Use the extra daylight in the Northern Hemisphere to do something great. Cheers. #AgencyRelations #AgencyClientRelationship
