Almost two years ago, I quit my tech job with the aspiration to pursue my passions and eventually start my own business. A business centered around uplifting South Asian craft through 'cultural craft kits' and events. It was a terrifying decision to choose to bet on my idea, my vision, and myself. It's taken a level of discipline, accountability, and bravery I wasn't fully aware I had within myself. Any founder knows that entrepreneurship is an uphill battle. That's why it's so important to celebrate successes when they come up. Last month, I ran South Asian natural dye stations for a tech company's "bring your kids to work day" across all of their global offices. Co-hosting this event at San Francisco, Seattle, NYC, London, Berlin, Paris, Singapore, and Tokyo. This meant prepping dye stations for 600+ participants and shipping out at-home craft kits to virtual participants. It was my biggest opportunity to date, and one that inspired me to keep going. I've linked a video that showcases how the events turned out and what it looked like. To my fellow female founders: Sometimes we owe it to ourselves to keep moving forward. Just to see what happens. Despite all the obstacles, it's worth it. To my former colleagues & corporate event managers: If you'd like to bring this cultural craft experience to your office please reach out! It takes multiple opportunities to sustain running a small business, so I'd love your support. Here's to continuing to bet on myself in 2024. #femalefounder #smallbusinessowner #corporateevents #southasiancraft https://lnkd.in/dvb9qpE7

Silencio please. Many of us have lived through the years when innovations came from New York. Over the years, other capitals have had their turn, but every now and then, the city that never sleeps still surprises me with its creativity. In Midtown (where Studio54 made history), not exactly a fashion-centric area but certainly one rich in history and legends, a well-known French private club and cultural hub has arrived. Nestled between two storefronts on the sidewalk, you'll find a door that leads down a staircase to an alley which leads to another door. Upon entering, you're greeted by opulence. This is Silencio, the latest export of French nightlife to land in NYC. Known for their late-night revelries in Paris, Silencio has opened branches in Ibiza and a second one in the City of Lights, while just beginning to explore the US market (with a pop-up at Art Basel almost 10 years ago). While the original venue credits director David Lynch for its design, the new spot has been richly imagined by Crosby Studios founder, Harry Nuriev. 🙌 What’s your take? # 279 CULTURE, United States 👉 More contents on our website, the link to the featured news is in the first comment below. 🎯 If you want to learn more about our transformative approach to generating growth (yes, what we call innovation marketing!), feel free to write me privately.

🤯 I had goosebumps watching the "Castellers de Sants" build a "Castell" (human tower) this past weekend in Barcelona. I've never seen such a vivid example of what teamwork really means. The team was made up of women and men of all ages, each with a unique and important role to fulfill to make sure the Castell was assembled and disassembled safely. 💡 Here are 10 key lessons for teams:  📌 Trust and dependability: Each person in a Castell relies on the others for safety and success. Team members must trust and depend on one another.  📌 Clear roles and responsibilities: Each position, from the base (pinya) to the topmost child (enxaneta), has a specific role. Everyone must understand and execute their role for the tower to stand.  📌 Strength in unity: The foundation of a Castell relies on collective strength. Like any team, the combined efforts lead to greater achievements any individual could achieve.  📌 Preparation and training: Regular practice and preparation are essential. The success of a Castell comes from rehearsed techniques and strategies.  📌 Adaptability: If something goes wrong, the team needs to quickly adjust and make decisions to prevent failure and ensure safety.  📌 Commitment and dedication: Building a Castell requires full commitment from every team member. Half-hearted participation can jeopardize the entire effort.  📌 Shared goal: Everyone is working toward the same objective: to complete the tower safely. A clear, shared goal fosters teamwork and unity.  📌 Support and safety: The pinya acts as a safety net. Just as in a team environment, having a support system in place is vital for members to take risks and innovate.  📌 Resilience: Not every attempt at building a tower is successful. However, Castellers persistently try again, demonstrating resilience and determination.  📌 Celebration of Success: When a tower is successfully built and deconstructed, the achievement is celebrated by the entire team. #team #teambuilding #teamwork #leadership #trust #resilience

🏙️From Amsterdam to Berlin, from Knokke to Malmö. Cities have become brands. So how do they future-proof their identity? 1 - How can cities and regions keep their heritage in the process? 2 - How can they manage their requirements on a daily basis? 3 - A city faces many challenges in terms of future development. How can they stay true to their brand values? Most of the cities have a strategy, but not all of them have a vision.    👀Read the full story on how cities can make their brand identity future-proof.    https://lnkd.in/ebCDFZ3T

I remember it clearly. It was a cold, wet, Spring morning in Covent Garden and I was on my way to rehearsals for the West End production of “Mamma Mia”. In my trusty jandals... “Don’t dress for the weather you have”, I wrote. “Dress for the weather you want.” This 13-year-old picture of my feet (apologies) popped up on "Facebook Memories" this morning. At the very moment I was attending a NZ Tech Week Event at The Grid. My first. (How times have changed!) It was a panel discussion on "Auckland’s Innovation Future" hosted by The Committee For Auckland. It was a fantastic and enlightening discussion with engaging panelists - Pam Ford, Darsel Keane, Mike Horne and Andrew Fairgray. Subjects ranged from; how Auckland can improve talent growth (and retention) to international connections and funding challenges. And risk. Or more accurately, our approach to Risk. I learned very early in my theatre career that true Innovation requires a well communicated Vision, close collaboration and will almost ALWAYS demand risk. Like choosing the right footwear as the seasons change. So, on the metaphorically cold, damp mornings we’re currently experiencing, remember the Sun WILL come out. Just make sure you’re wearing jandals when it does… C'mon Auckland, start dressing for the weather you want. #risk #innovation #vision #auckland #techweek #collaboration
