I attended a brilliant Enterprise Nation networking event yesterday; a massive shout out to Dan Martin for organising in person events and St George's Bristol for hosting - I know there are so many benefits to the digital world, but I still really love being able to meet and connect with people face to face! It was so nice to see some familiar faces and meet some new people; it was amazing to see the huge range of businesses just in one room and so inspiring to hear people speak so passionately about them. (*Slap on the wrist* - must not start another business.....yet 😇 ) We also talked a lot about the challenges people are facing, from burn out to future plans to the struggles following COVID. Business is rarely all sunshine and rainbows, and I think it is great for everyone to feel like they're not alone and share ideas on how they cope with things. This seems like the perfect time to say that Bristol City Council and West of England Growth Hub has a huge variety of support available for SME's; from mentoring and coaching to grants for R&D, help with exporting to support with your marketing plan! Whatever challenge you are facing, get in touch to find out more about what we can offer. 👐 #bristol #westofengland #growthhub #bristolcitycouncil #businesssupport #youarenotalone #SMEs #smallbusiness #enterprisenation #RandD #grants #bristolgrants #bristolbusinesssupport #BrisBES BrisBES

Concluding the year on a high note with another successful all-company meeting! Huge shoutout to Manny Avramidis and Barbara Zung from American Management Association for being part of the conversation. We delved into some fantastic discussions, gained valuable insights, and, of course, celebrated the success of our clients. Here's to more achievements and collaboration in the upcoming year! 🚀 #TeamSuccess #clientsuccess #YearEndCelebration

During my time in CPA firm space, I've had an opportunity to be a part of the Allinial Global and RSM US LLP firm alliances.

I have the honor of starting a strategic planning initiative with my friend and longtime client – Jim (Dimitri) Kales who is the CEO of the Braille Institute of America in Los Angeles, CA. What an amazing organization that does so much for so many people who are impacted by low vision or blindness. #consulting #strategicplanning #brailleinstitute #businessconsulting

Unveiling Authentic Success with Cortney McDermott - A Journey Beyond the Conventional Today, I want to share something that deeply resonated with me. It's about redefining success beyond the glitz and glamour, beyond the societal benchmarks. I had the privilege of sitting down with @CortneyMcDermott – a former corporate high-flyer who realized that true success lies in authenticity and inner fulfillment. Cortney's story is not just a narrative; it's a mirror to our lives. Many of us are caught in the whirlwind of chasing "success," as defined by others. But what if success is more about internal peace than external validation? In our conversation, Cortney unveils her transformative journey – from feeling “miserably successful” to discovering joy in authenticity. Her insights on giving ourselves the permission to be true, to listen deeply, and to embrace our genuine selves are both profound and practical. This is more than just an interview; it's a wake-up call to all of us who are in pursuit of success to pause and ponder – are we chasing what truly matters? I invite you to read about this enlightening conversation. Let's start a dialogue on what success truly means.

So, you're eager to make your events feel even more welcoming and inclusive, right? I absolutely love diving into post-event feedback and reflections from our participants. It's like peeking through a different lens - not just as the host and organizer, but seeing things from the perspective of what people actually felt and experienced. ➡ Here's a little insider tip for those just starting out in event planning: Besides the heartfelt conversations, I always recommend sending out quick, anonymous surveys to get a feel for what resonated with our guests and what they're hoping to see more of. After all, we don't have all the angles covered, and it's amazing what fresh insights we can gather! Plus, taking some time to sift through the feedback ourselves helps us figure out what we can realistically implement moving forward. Reflecting on our recent (un)common connections event, it's clear that people really vibe with the atmosphere we curate at Kollektiv gatherings. And, to build on that, we're brainstorming some new ways to foster those meaningful connections. Because at the end of the day, we want everyone to feel right at home. ✨
