What makes Pret a Manger stand out for someone to progress through a company in such a way? What are the qualities that can be applied in every business to see this happen more?

Reflecting on a Year at Rizzle June quietly marked my first anniversary at Rizzle [a bit belated in sharing this], a milestone that snuck up on me faster than anticipated. While it's a cliché to say time flies, this occasion sparked a period of reflection. Initially, it led me down the path of setting new goals for the year ahead. However, I paused to consider - is a constant focus on achievement the best measure of progress? Rizzle holds a special place in my career journey. It's where I transitioned into my first full-time role, a baptism by fire that equipped me with invaluable lessons. Looking back, I liken my entry to Rizzle to a wide-eyed puppy, eager to learn and contribute but undoubtedly lacking experience. Joining Rizzle as my first full-time role offered lessons I never anticipated. I felt like a novice navigating a complex world, but looking back, I see two main areas of growth: 1.⁠ ⁠Personal Growth: Personal growth came from many lessons, the most important of which was understanding priorities rather than balancing them. Admittedly, this came with a learning curve (remember the puppy analogy?).   I discovered that tackling ten daily tasks might seem productive, but it sacrifices work-life balance. Spreading out the work allowed me to appreciate my role not only as an employee but also as someone who values family, friends, and other aspects of life. 2.⁠ ⁠Career Growth: Professionally, my role has evolved beyond completing tasks efficiently. While I've always taken pride in delivering high-quality work on time, my focus has expanded to include team functionality. I’ve learned the value of team dynamics and the importance of contributing to the team's overall effectiveness. Transitioning to more supervisory responsibilities, I’ve embraced the role of guiding and motivating my colleagues. Ensuring the quality of our collective work and fostering a positive team environment has been a challenging but rewarding transition. These lessons resonate with many of us, marking shared experiences in professional growth. I am deeply grateful for the opportunities Rizzle has provided, and I look forward to continuing this journey of progress and learning. These and many other valuable lessons will forever be etched in my memory as the foundation of my first year at Rizzle. #CareerMilestones --- Feel free to connect or share your own experiences and milestones!

I’ve swapped Oxfords for Crocs… And airplanes for an RV. Work now happens wherever I choose to park it for the night. Designing an intentional life where I have 100% freedom of my time didn’t start 2 years ago when I retired from corporate sales. It began many years ago when I started my first sales job in 2006. Although I didn’t know exactly what the future would hold… I did know I wanted to be more in control of it. Getting into a career of sales helped me build a life of abundance and autonomy. And I’ll be forever grateful because of it! Now, I balance my time exploring new personal adventures while helping other sellers find their own abundance and complete autonomy. What’s your dream life look like now? How about after retiring from sales? If learning how to retire early from corporate sales is a topic you want to read more about, give me a 👍 in the comments ⤵ Happy to share what I’ve learned. 🐝
