SkillsUSA COO Jason Scales addressed our Board this morning during a meeting at the organization’s National Leadership & Skills Conference in Atlanta. Jason shared his goal of increasing SkillsUSA participation to 1 million students by 2030, and led a discussion on how we can align together to help make that happen. A couple of other points to note: 1) Jason’s new SkillsUSA gear is provided by Ariat International. We look forward to a continued and deepening partnership with this world-class maker of apparel, footwear and accessories for all types of outdoor and work environments! 2) A couple of these meeting-room seats were empty for good reason – we applaud the CR Board members who were serving as volunteers for various competitions in the SkillsUSA National Championships. #constructionready #constructionindustry #skilledtrades #skillscompetition #skillsusa #constructioneducation

Helping SMEs and Third Sector organisations reduce IT costs and improve collaboration by leveraging ‘the cloud’ | IT Support, Services and Training |
Ever tried teaching a toddler to put shoes on when you're already 10 minutes late? 👟 This morning, our nearly two year old daughter insisted that "I Do It!" whilst tackling her footwear solo. The result? A patience testing hidden leadership lesson. It's easy to get caught in the trap of "It'll be quicker if I just do it myself" when you're in a rush, but sometimes, you've got to let your team tackle their own laces. Yes, we were already running late but it was a reminder that learning and growth often involves letting them figure things out for themselves. Encourage, watch, and be ready to help when asked - even if it means watching them put their shoes on the wrong feet first. #GrowthThroughStruggle #CreativeProblemSolving #TeamBuilding

What NOT to do at the UNIQLO pitch. 1) For a footwear focused campaign, don’t go with ‘Mera joota hain Japani’ 2) Don’t write a Roger Federer manifesto. I know it’s tempting, but don’t. The brand is bigger than their ambassador 3) Don’t be late. They’ve probably got a million agencies waiting in line to pitch Pro Tip: When you meet Palak Shukla and Nidhi Rastogi, pitch them a LinkedIn personal branding proposal to leverage the newfound burst of followers. What’s a pitch without some extra makkhan? #uniqlo #pitch #advertising #chaloallthebest

Founder @ J Shubham & Associates | Chartered Accountant | Quickbooks & Xero Advisor | Bookkeeper | Auditor | 145K Impressions
Here is the quick story about “Adi Dassler of Adidas” which motivates and tells us how to become a successful entrepreneur. Here, we learn that entrepreneurship is all about to understand your customers’ needs, taking feedbacks and keep on improving. 👉Some of today’s biggest brands started with humble beginnings, and no one embodies this better than Adidas founder Adolf “Adi” Dassler. 👉Dassler’s shoemaking career began in his mother’s washroom in a small town in Bavaria, Germany. It was there that Dassler began designing and cobbling shoes and decided he wanted to make the best possible sports shoe for athletes. 👉While there were plenty of shoemakers at the time, Dassler was committed to standing out in the market by gathering feedback from athletes about what they looked for in a shoe, what pain points could be improved on, and how they felt about his early models. 👉This feedback allowed Dassler to craft an athletic shoe that was highly valued by his customers and gave him legitimacy when he registered “Adi Dassler Adidas Sportschuhfabrik” in 1949 at 49 years old. It was that same year the first shoe with the soon-to-become-signature Adidas three stripes was registered. 👉Dassler’s vision to create the best shoe for athletes proved itself in 1954 when the German national football team won the World Cup final against the Hungarians—while wearing the new model of Adidas cleats. 👉“Their unbelievable victory would be heard around the world for decades to come,” Adidas states on its website, “and it made Adidas and its founder a household name on football pitches everywhere.” 👉Since then, Adidas has grown into an international brand known for high-quality athleticwear. Dassler’s story sheds light on the importance of listening to target customers about their dreams, needs, and pain points. 👉“Adi Dassler’s secret to success had an additional personal ingredient: He met with athletes, listened carefully to what they said, and constantly observed what can be improved or even invented to support their needs,” reads Adidas’s website. “The best of the best trusted Adidas and its founder from the beginning.” #loans #accounts #finance #money #forex #trading #price #business #currency #globaltrade #investment #investing #wealth #market #economy #fintech #education #india #innovation #management #humanresources #economics #motivation #investing
