 🎭 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸: 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗭𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱’𝘀 𝗛𝗮𝗸𝗮 ! As a 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁, I’ve realized that great campaigns aren’t built on individual talent—they’re driven by 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸. One inspiring example? The 𝗵𝗮𝗸𝗮—a traditional Māori dance famously performed by New Zealand’s All Blacks rugby team. More than a dance, the haka is a symbol of 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲. Watching it reveals powerful lessons about teamwork: 🔗 1. 𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 The haka’s impact comes from 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘆. One misstep, and the performance falters. In teamwork, alignment on goals ensures success. 🥅 2. 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲: 𝗔 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 The haka rallies performers around a common cause. Similarly, teams excel when united by a 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻—whether crafting campaigns or solving problems. 🤝 3. Trust and Connection Haka performers rely on each other for rhythm and energy. In teams, 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝘂𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, empowering bold ideas. ⚡ 4. Energy and Passion The haka’s intensity is unforgettable. Likewise, passion and energy from every team member can turn good work into something extraordinary. The haka isn’t just a performance—it’s a 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗽𝗵𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸. It shows that 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁, and a 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗲 can elevate any project. 💡 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘀? 𝗟𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀! #TeamWork #Leadership #TrustInTeams #Inspiration #Haka #Unity #MaoriCulture

❓ What does it mean that my coaching is influenced from the ballroom to the boardroom? 💃 Today we are in the historic and very beautiful surroundings of the Empress Ballroom in Blackpool, the home of ballroom dancing and somewhere I've been coming to since the late 1980s to dance. We're here to watch two of my new coaching clients who are world champion dancers and working on the strength of their partnership in an intensive and challenging sport. 🏆 Mildred and I retired as dancesport competitors just over ten years ago after representing England seven times at World and European Championships. I am eternally grateful for every step of the journey we took together. 🌍 Travelling round the world, training in Italy and pitting ourselves against the very best, we learned about the sacrifices and compromises you need to make in order to be not just "very good", but "amongst the very best in the world" at what you do. It's a completely different mindset, as Ruth Gotian, Ed.D., M.S. brilliantly articulates in her bestseller "The Success Factor". ⚖ For us that sacrifice was to compromise career progression and pay, to forgo holidays for a decade, to live in a tiny flat so that we could put every penny into pursuing our goals, to learn to overcome the many failures and go again in the pursuit of success. We shared an ambition to defy the doubters and prove that we could achieve great things without sponsors, without a trust fund, without anything other than what we could create for ourselves. 🚀 Today people see that inner drive in both of us. And this is where it came from. A commitment to realise our maximum potential as dancers, which grew us so much as people and shaped who we both are today. 💃 The video below is a show we created in our retirement year of 2013. I hope that sharing something of our secret double life might help you understand better the people we are today. https://lnkd.in/eE_B_MAP #ballroomdancing #dancesport #highperformance #performancecoaching #coaching #theunlockmoment

Move Over, Adults: 9-Year-Old Kungfu Phenom Shows Age is Just a Number 🥋💪 🏆 When I was 9, I was mastering the art of not eating my vegetables.

A car ad without a car??? 🤯 Kia's latest Ute advertisement could be the most significant advertising moment since the iconic Carlton Draught's "Big Ad." Here's why it's not just an ad but a masterclass in marketing strategy and execution: 🌟 Flawlessly executed, this campaign brilliantly marries Aussie humour with the nation's passion for sports, striking a chord with potential ute buyers. 🌟 The inclusion of 20 Australian sporting legends isn't just a show of star power; it's a strategic move that generated immense sign-up momentum. This clever tactic created a sense of belonging, making it a movement every star wanted to be part of - something far beyond what any talent budget could achieve. 🌟 These 20 sports stars brought with them organic PR coverage that vastly outweighs the results any paid PR strategy could hope for, showcasing the immense power of leveraging popular figures for brand visibility. 🌟 The timing of the ad's launch was nothing short of brilliant, coinciding with the NRL's highly anticipated Vegas match, ensuring maximum exposure and engagement from the target audience. Kia's ad isn't just a campaign; it's a lesson in how to connect with your audience, leverage popular culture and execute a marketing strategy with precision and impact. #MarketingStrategy #AdvertisingExcellence #BrandEngagement #SportsMarketing

Course is spectacular!

Kia have quietly gone about their business by building ever increasing quality of cars. Their recent vehicle evolutions (packed with features and benefits), will continue to see them grow and evolve. If their passenger vehicle offering is anything to go by, then their first utility vehicle is certainly worth getting excited about. Whilst I am confident the name (‘Tasman’ is a rumour but just as likely PR), will get social opinions wagging, I don’t think it will matter much. After all, what is a Hilux? A fantastic advertisement with credit to #scoundrel and #innocean . An advert that would not have been out of place if it had a Toyota logo in it. My tip: Top 5 Ute sales in Australia with a bullet. And for some extra value, will be the first Ute to get traction in Australia in the EV market. #aftermarketautomotiveaccessories #advertisingandmarketing #aussiesportinglegends

Wow, as a marketing and brand professional, who's also a sports tragic, I'd have been like a kid in a candy store producing this little gem from Kia. What Kia have done here is craft a campaign with universal appeal for those who are (or on the peripheral of) ute-buyers, that transcends borders and ensures the brand resonates across diverse audiences. You could say they've made themselves "Aussie-as" for their entry into this segment. All that's missing is an "oi, oi, oi". It just might have put me in the market for my first ever ute... #marketingstrategy #brandengagement

Watching the IMSA - International Motor Sports Association Detroit race today with Benjamin Bates Every single person on the race team knows *exactly* what they’re responsible to produce. The results are pretty clear. Nutty things happen in races. There’s little to no control over the track conditions or the competition. This makes me think about high performance teams in business. We can’t guarantee success but we can put our team in the best position to achieve it. How’s your team? Is every single person “race team clear”?
