I’m grateful for my management team of TMV Capital and for the organisers of Vadovų konferencija EBIT for this two days experience of knowledge, networking and team building. Here are some of the findings from the event:1. Today we are living neither in a utopian world nor in the dystopian, but we are living in the protopia, where by iterating we get at leats 1 percent better every time.2. Life is full of highs and lows, but if we look back in to longer historical perspective, we can observe that the curve of human life quality is actually increasing. Therefore those who have a longer vision to the future are more optimistic of how the future will evolve.3. According to the happiness index, Lithuanians are in the top 20 of the happiest people in the world. Which could mean that we are optimists and have a long-term vision to the future. Which is an excellent precondition for our businesses to be even more successful. Because we also know that the further is not something that will happen to us, but it is something that we are going to create.

Three months at Custerian… so what have I learnt so far…Simon Norie likes to use yacht analogies (for the purpose of Siobhan Arnold I think) and likes to keep us all true to what Custerian is all about, a great quality! If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and talks like a duck… it’s a duck. 🦆 Custerian….People centricCommercial problem solversSolution and outcome supernovas Pioneering | Challenging | CuriousAnd this is absolutely our look, walk and talk! We sometimes quack! Nicola Collister leads this business with passion, a wealth of experience and a real flair for thought leadership, galvanising and collaborating- driving change effortlessly!AND the team are bloody brilliant at exceeding expectations for our clients! I have learnt:- how to use a Mac (well nearly) - always been a windows kinda gal!- how doing something you love changes your perspective to work- the business has an approach that is truly market leading, I can hand on heart say that what Custerian has to offer is unique and it delivers real results for its customers! I walked out (metaphorically as I joined virtually) of our board meeting today feeling aligned, engaged, excited, challenged, focussed and ready for our next phase! #custerian #peoplecentricchange #changemanagement #commericalproblemsolvers #teamappreciation

Time for farewell. My 5 year period as the CEO of platform company Rideer Nordic came to an end with the arrival of the new year. I will soon move on to new opportunities of which more later on.The past 5 years has been a period marked by diverse challenges, valuable lessons, joy of triumphs and navigating through the COVID-caused complexities in the public transportation industry. At the same time, the company has grown to new business segments, new markets and the long-term strategic focus has become significantly clearer and more result-oriented. Rideer is now the market leader at both Finnish and Swedish markets and equipped with an accurate road map for future growth. I am grateful for the experience in many ways and look forward to following the company's future, now from the backseat as a shareholder. Letting go has been surprisingly hard as the company has become very important to me. Still, I am confident that the time for change is right for both me and Rideer.As for myself, the upcoming change is exciting - somewhat nerve-wracking even. Yet most of my life's best decisions have come from taking a leap into the unknown, and I trust that this will be no exception from that. Moving on grateful for everything and everyone. #Careerchange #Leadership #Transitions #LetThereBeChange

Everyone, meetAna Maria Schlecht, our Senior Business Growth Advisor. 👩💻 Ana has recently joined Mirro, and this is what she had to say about her journey so far 👇“As a Senior Business Growth Advisor, I approach everything with curiosity, creativity, and passion. 🚀After returning from maternity leave, I joined this fresh and talented team at Mirro, and I found a culture where#flexibilityand#transparencyare critical pillars for success.Growing a startup is not an easy job, but it is so rewarding.

𝟱-𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸-𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘆 – 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 Hansgrohe Group🚀 5-years ago I got offered a fantastic career kick-start opportunity by Ferdinand von Hatzfeldt. Working as a Business Consultant in Strategy & Corporate Development meant driving and thriving in international Sales Up! Projects for Middle East 🇦🇪, Sweden 🇸🇪 and the USA 🇺🇸 while also gaining M&A expertise with the acquisition of shower drain specialist ESS.🚀 2.5-years later I got opened a window of opportunity by Martial Gil to step-out of my slowly gained comfort zone and make a big jump over the Atlantic to work as Business Developer LATAM, based in Mexico 🇲🇽. Cultures, languages, markets – all new, all different. What better chance to light the booster of one owns learning curve building-up solid hands-on market experience?🚀 2-years into the Expat experience things got once more spiced-up - thanks Victor Arnau - as I got entrusted with leading, developing and inspiring the Mexican organization as Managing Director. So far it has been an enriching, challenging but fun journey finding the right rowing rhythm executing on our strategic initiatives with my local team leaders Alejandro Morales, Ixchel Monje, Christian Carmona, Juan Manuel Torres, Emanuel Del Valle Uscanga.🚀 Thanks, at this point to all the confidence and coaching received from multiple experienced Hansgrohe leaders, the phenomenally good work relations established to inspiring team members around the globe that I got the pleasure to work with and all the friends made along the way. 🚀 Going above and beyond at work striving for ever new professional growth opportunities with motivation and a smile on my face is, however, only possible due to an amazing private life. Having found my teammate for life over 6 years ago [we got happily married last month] is my personal source of joy and happiness in everyday life. Love, trust, security, and stability are the basis of the safe haven our future adventures will start from ⛵️. Whether they will lead us back to Germany 🇩🇪, or off to new Hansgrohe shores across the globe 🌎 providing insights into new markets, cultures and ways of doing business only time will tell.#trust #growthmindset #expatriates #happiness

Our #Fluctuation @ #Shopfloor | #Recruiting| Based on data analytics, the team found the attributes of people staying +90 days and used them, to shape our “best fit profile”, we called #VUCA profile. Attributes such as: - commuting time, - number of jobs on the last 12 months, - seniority on the last Job, - scholar level, - number of economic dependents, - 2nd source of incoming Are some effective predictors. Every week, they score and track % adherence to the profile in all Factories, and take improvement actions. ***We called “VUCA” because in our current times, Personal motivation drivers are changing fast… and we should adapt quickly!! ***Our #VUCA candidate profile is the equivalent to the buyer Persona profile, that marketing & sales teams use to define their ideal customers, and, is the perfect complement to our current diagnostics (Cognitive and behavioral) When hiring #BlueCollars #Shopfloor employees, do you focus on your (new) ideal customers? Or, do you still look for traditional profiles? If you want to learn more, follow Luz Elena Zúñiga González and Raquel Burgueno they know how to do it ! 👏🏻👏🏻 next challenge: VUCA profile for first line managers, challenge accepted Barbara Szwedowicz
