❓……Why do I need a mentor? Whilst I cannot answer this question for you. I can share how Mentoring has helped me and continues to make me be a better version of myself! I sought mentorship when I didn’t even know what it was about. Mentorship and my many mentors have shaped me into who I am today and encouraged me to pay it forward to individuals, organisations and communities. Sharing my key mentorship gems: 💎 Leaning in with a growth mindset and desire to learn from others. 💎 Seeking different perspectives that enables me to be more open to the possibilities, to push myself out of my comfort zones (both personally & professionally) 💎 Having Role models - be it a skill, experience, expertise, behaviour that I want to amplify or better and see in IRL. 💎 Be in the drivers seat of your own growth, development and career progression. Below is a 🎁 from Foodservice Suppliers Association Australia to help you grow your career opportunities and be the best version of yourself! Humbled to be invited to be a mentor on the #FSAA Mentorship Program. Looking forward to paying it forward in 2024! #mentorship #careerprogression #growthmindset #industryleadership #foodandbeverageindustry #foodservice Foodservice Suppliers Association Australia LinkedIn News Minnie Constan

#EuropeanYearOfSkills 💡 Read our news article on Underpinning Skills 🌍 The spotlight has fallen on the pivotal role of education and skills development for the progress of societies across Europe. Food education and skills development are essential for transforming the food system. ℹ️ Underpinning skills are the fundamental competencies that form the backbone of success in any field. In the context of the food system, these skills encompass a broad spectrum, including critical thinking, problem-solving, adaptability, and a deep understanding of the interconnectedness of the food system. Underpinning skills are the building blocks upon which specific technical expertise can be developed and rolled out across all regions within Europe. 📖 https://lnkd.in/dwbyaDp6 #Education #EIT

"A standout example of UWA's partnership success is the 27-year collaboration with global leader Medela, focusing on human lactation research. UWA's Human Lactation Research Group studies human milk composition and breastfeeding behavior, leading to innovations like Medela's Symphony Breast Pump with its unique 2-Phase Expression technology to mimic baby's natural sucking behavior or the PersonalFit Flex Breast Shield for breast pumps yielding 11% more milk. These products revolutionize breastfeeding for newborns, preterm infants and working parents while shaping Medela's evidence-based business model and product portfolio." - Business News Learn more below: #lactationsupport #workingparents #breastpumps #innovation

Exciting News! 🍫   I am thrilled to share that Susanne Heide and I have been honored to bring the Enterprise Thinking Award home!🏆 It is so good to see that Mars takes initiative to empower our mindsets with a nice recognition program.   By understanding the roles and responsibilities in a complex cross-functional environment, we created a humble solution to collect assumptions for long-term volume planning. This initiative helped us to speak the same language between functions, brought us together and allowed us to see different point of views in relation to each other with increased visibility.    What have we learned? • Instead of assigning tasks to a group of people, finding champions for each category is the key to efficiency and ownership. • If the tasks are defined clearly, people are likely to complete them faster as they understand the value and reasoning behind them. • Progress over perfection benefits us in the long run. Cheers to the people who embrace the change and willingly collaborate to see the future a bit better. 💙

Last week, I had the chance to celebrate our Unilever Future Leaders Program graduates (pictured here), who drove impactful results over the course of their three years in the program. I came out of our conversations reminded that the future is promising and bright. I firmly believe human-centricity and talent development are two critical components of running a successful business – and that’s our approach at Unilever. That’s why it was great to see the list of top talent incubator companies from The Official Board. I was happy to see Unilever ranking #1 among CPG companies and #4 overall. Seeing our efforts to develop talent recognized externally is very exciting. It’s especially important to me to understand the “why” behind these rankings. The takeaways: Companies that topped the list invest in talent and development, have a culture that supports learning, and have brands that are relevant and responsive to the external environment.
