Unforgettable. That’s how I describe last week at Antler. It was a relentless pursuit of excellence, a rally of minds pushing boundaries and a camaraderie that left an indelible mark. No, this wasn't your run-of-the-mill workweek. It wasn't just about crunching numbers and scoring sales. This was about shared laughter echoing through our halls, brainstorming sessions that lit the fuse of innovation, and the collective strength behind each victory. That's salesMind, redefined forever. See, journeys aren't a mere point A to B travel. They’re a rollercoaster of surprises, mind-blowing discoveries, and unforgettable lessons that linger. The destination? It’s just a bonus. The magic - it's in the journey. Are you poised on the edge of a new chapter? Ready to shatter the mold? Let's connect. Let's stir the status quo into an awe-inspiring revolution – together!

Summer lull no more! If you are in #ResearcherDevelopment, I would highly recommend either signing up for, or signposting your researchers (inc #PhD, #ECRs #DoctoralResearchers to the FREE Squiggly Careers Skills Sprint. Starts 2 weeks today on August 5th. While there are 20 topics, here are my personal top 3 that I am most looking forward to: 1️⃣ Energy (hoping to learn secrets to getting more!) 2️⃣ Learning agility (well, I am in #ResearcherDevelopment after all!) 3️⃣ Judgement (always interested in learning to make better decisions) Maybe these other topics might speak more to you? Adaptability | Collaboration | Presence | Storytelling | Influencing | Time management | Presenting | Problem solving | Coaching yourself | Empathy | Work/Life Fit | Courage | Managing emotions Comment if you are doing it as would love to have accountability partners!

Wow, time flies! 🪰 I used to write the anniversary posts in the past, so why should I stop now 🙃 Who would say that it's been a year already since I joined Elemental Tech? And what a year that was! Since day one I've been working closely with founder and I'm so much thankful for the given opportunity. By working next to the C-level executive I had a chance to meet lots of different C-level executives and learn from them in every way. Not a chance everyone gets at the age of 36. I was involved in hiring, operational and business discussions and decisions, and my voice was heard and very often taken as final by the management. This empowered me to learn even more and make more decisions. When defining the strategy and vision for the company I was advised several times. I couldn't be more proud when I see the founder quoting me and giving me the shout out. Mistakes are not taken as bad thing, but rather as an opportunity to learn. Founder is leading by example in the field of mistakes, and that is what strongly connects me with the company. I'm really grateful that I have the chance to work for the company that gives the chance and empowers young people like me. One down. Let's pray for the second one. Good thing I'm both persons, otherwise it might be too cheesy 😆 #workanniversary #founderstories

Not a perfect 1️⃣0️⃣⁉️ 🚀 Just wrapped up our 75th mangers meeting since we began this journey over two years ago! 🎉 At our recent gathering, we delved deep into mindset, skill development, and habits—core pillars of our team's growth. 💡 With a sprinkle of operational matters, we dedicated ample time to refining our unique process and exploring the exciting realm of AI. 🤖 What truly sets our meetings apart is our commitment to gratitude. Starting or ending each session with a moment of appreciation fuels our values and strengthens our bond as a team. However, I must admit, in the whirlwind of discussions, I overlooked this crucial ritual in our latest gathering. We rank our meetings from 1-10 with 10 being the best score. Needless to say I received a not-quite-perfect rating of 9.75. 🙏 Why? I was so excited at what I was presenting I forgot the gratitude part of the meeting. 😞 I loved that they called me out on it! It only underscores the importance of gratitude in our meetings—it's not just an add-on; it's at the core of our success. Here's to many more enriching sessions ahead! #TeamCulture #Gratitude #ContinuousImprovement

While some wait for year-end reflections, I will write mine to celebrate my work anniversary. 😁 Early days 👈 : ➖ Started working at TechPods back in April 2021, when we were around 20 people ➖ Didn't know a thing about technology and hadn't performed a single interview for an IT role Professional Growth (for the past year) 👈 : ➖ Had the chance to work on the breadth of my knowledge ➖ The team entrusted me with leading a meeting with the direction of engineering ⚙ and engineering managers for a brand-new partner all by myself  ➖ Started working more closely with our engineers and developed several procedures to optimize and improve our hiring process ➖ Made myself a promise to hire at least 15 people until my next work anniversary and exceeded it by 27%, which led to scaling the team to 73 people now  ➖ Started collaborating with the operations team on organizing more internal initiatives To conclude, I'm confident I'm in the right environment because our culture fosters open feedback and accountability. It's great to be part of a community that continuously challenges you to excel and values your input. 🙏 P.S. I am еxtremely thankful for the opportunity to be part of an extraordinary team like ours, and here's to countless more milestones together! 💛 #workanniversary #milestones #growth #reflection #culture #recruitment #softwaredevelopment
