Today marks a special day for me as I celebrate my work anniversary. It's been a year since I joined this company and I can't believe how fast time has flown by. When I first started, I was filled with excitement and nervousness, unsure of what to expect. But as I reflect on the past year, I am filled with pride and gratitude for all the experiences and growth I have gained. Looking back, I am reminded of the challenges I faced in my early days at this company. From learning new processes and systems to adapting to a new work culture, it was definitely a steep learning curve. But with the support of my colleagues and mentors, I was able to overcome these challenges and become a valuable member of the team. As I progressed in my role, I took on new responsibilities and projects, constantly pushing myself out of my comfort zone. It wasn't always easy, but I am thankful for the opportunities that have helped me develop new skills and expand my knowledge. I have also formed meaningful relationships with my colleagues, who have not only been great teammates but also friends. One of the things I appreciate most about this company is the emphasis on personal and professional growth. From training and development programs to mentorship opportunities, I have been able to continuously improve and advance in my career. I am grateful to work for a company that invests in its employees and values their contributions. As I celebrate this milestone, I am filled with a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. I am grateful for the opportunities, experiences, and relationships that this company has provided me with. I am excited to see what the future holds and I am committed to continuing to contribute to the success of this company. Cheers to a year and many more to come! #ociustechnologies #workanniversary #workanniversarycelebration #MilestoneAchieved #celebratingsuccess #corporatelifestyle #work #success #anniversary #employeeappreciation #employeesatisfaction #businessdevelopement #MilestoneCelebration #TeamSuccess #Dedication #ProfessionalJourney #CareerMilestone #TeamPlayer #OnlinePresence #Congratulations #WorkplaceSuccess #AnniversaryCelebration #AchievementUnlocked #EmployeeAppreciation #TeamworkTriumphs

Today, I am honored to be celebrating my 16-Year Work Anniversary with my company! That is a lifetime to some. It feels amazing. The people who I have met, and the things that I have learned on this journey have shaped my life in so many ways. Here are some of the lessons that I have learned over the years... * Work/life balance is crucial. It is important not to lose sight of what you are working for. Take the vacation.  Go to the little-league game. Live a good life.  It is short and you only get ONE. So, work to live, not the other way around.   * Be kind and respectful and greet everyone. Every person in every position. * Give your respect freely but give your trust wisely.  Guard your heart and your personal life. Be discreet. Know the difference between being friends and being friendly. Check your emotions.  Don’t react quickly. Observe silently. Avoid office politics and gossip. * Show up. Be consistent and take action. * Be sincere, intentional and authentic. This goes for both your business and your personal life. * Don’t be afraid to ask people to share their wisdom and experience with you. Share your knowledge with others. * Know the difference between healthy competition and unhealthy “comparisonitis”. * Use the right tools, organize everything, and keep good notes. * Clear is Kind. Keep your communications clear, concise and easy to understand. * Confidence in your abilities and knowing your value is important to your success. Believe in yourself and in your work.  

I just had my 3-year anniversary working at a start-up: Here are 4 things I learned: 1. Quality is a differentiator 2. High-impact work > Quantity of work 3. Don't lose sight of the big picture 4. Being personable goes a long way I'm looking forward to another 3 years.

Do we even celebrate work anniversaries anymore? This week marked 3 years since joining Elevate Global having been previously made redundant due to pandemic cuts.  As we all know it was a scary, unpredictable time for all 3 years ago, and work as we knew it had changed indefinitely. The events world grounded to a sharp hard no thank you and marketing became a bad word, it was a tough tough world out there. Joining Elevate to lead on a huge government piece (1200 staff per day) for a 4 month project turning into a 14 month project turning into leading what is currently the largest staffing project (2000 staff per day) for the biggest sporting event taking place in Paris in 2024 is absolutely my career highlight.  Whilst I’m certainly not thanking or celebrating the terrible pandemic for being where I am today, I am pondering on the way the universe works in mysterious ways to lead one thing to another and so on.  Had I not been made redundant I wouldn’t be here… The other flip to the anniversary pondering coin is how long people stay in work placements overall… Statistically people stay in their jobs for 4.1 years on average in the UK and I’ve never been less than 3 years anywhere without a budget cut being the exit reason, perhaps being a taurus who needs to be grounded has moulded that longevity. Obviously sprinkle in amazing leading MDs and friends for life colleagues is paramount to the days you spend more at work than at home so much more enjoyable. Accordingly to tradition of marriage, leather is the anniversary gift given - so Elevate France I’m awaiting my leathery gift in this wonderful marriage with more years to come 😁

As I approach my one-year anniversary at NewGen IT Technologies Pvt Ltd, formerly VCARE InfoTech Solutions and Services Pvt Ltd, I find myself reflecting deeply. It’s disheartening to see some former colleagues, who were once part of our company, now spreading unfounded rumors after leaving a few months ago. They should recognize that our company provided them ample opportunities for growth, both monetarily and in terms of promotion, opportunities they did not receive in their previous workplaces. There's a saying that resonates deeply with this situation: "People often criticize what they once cherished." It’s clear to me now why this occurs, but it prompts me to question: What do they gain by damaging their own integrity? They left the company under the influence of a former employee who was dismissed by management for poor performance, unethical behavior, and causing significant financial losses to the company. So why propagate such false feedback about a company that once belonged to them as well? Their behavior is truly questionable. If there are genuine concerns, why resort to hiding behind fake identities (including the company's name and their own) to voice them? Valid grievances deserve transparent discussion. Instead of diminishing their credibility, they should pinpoint where improvements are needed and seek resolution openly. Leaving a company should signify personal growth and encourage the same for others. Let’s foster constructive dialogue and leave groundless accusations behind.

As I celebrate my work anniversary today, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on some invaluable lessons I have gathered in the past year of being a 'Corporate Girlie': ▶ Forging your own path: Cookie-cutter careers are so 1998! Instead of chasing prescribed routes, try carving your own niche - this could well be the beginning of a journey of self-discovery, unlocking hidden potential and leaving an impression which uniquely defines you! ▶ Embracing open doors: Make sure to leave the sugarcoating on your cupcakes and have candid conversations with your mentors on what is working, what isn't and most importantly what you truly want. This will help them help you forge your path! ▶ Intentional Networking: Think beyond Linkedin connections. In-person networking events if utilized tactfully can go a long way in helping you cultivate genuine and powerful connections in the workforce. Practise your elevator pitch and ditch the algorithm to find your real world tribe! ▶ Self - Advocacy: Blowing your own trumphet might not be very fun for a lot of us, but it is important to make sure you articulate your contibutions, celebrate milestones and own your own narrative. In my opinion, self-advocacy is the professional expression of self-value. ▶Embrace Balance: Hobbies have a transformative power which is pretty understated, they act as much needed distractions while granting you fresh perspectives. Make sure to indulge in your 5-9's as deeply as you do in your 9-5. P.s - Happy New Year and here's to a successful 2024!
