NEW Manufacturing Alliance’s Post

Well done to everyone who is directly or indirectly involved with the development of the Frederick Cooper (Birmingham) Ltd. Learning Academy. 12 months on from launch this recognition from Make UK is a welcome sign that we are on the right path. Win or lose, you first must be on the start-line. #learninganddevelopment #apprenticeships #growth

Friday FriYAY... Last night I was hanging out with some old (in both uses of the word) friends. We don't agree on everything and we still get together once a month for beverages and sitting under the stars (when it isn't raining) and discussing life, challenges, hopes, dreams and failures. It is in these times I always feel my strongest hope for humanity. It seems it's only when I turn on the TV or scroll through social media that my hope wanes. It begs the question, where do I want to spend my time? Jerome Powell told Congress yesterday he still expects to cut interest rates this year. I'm still betting it won't happen until the fall (the season, not the end of the empire). Lots of little quips today. People better be prepared for a sarcasm explosion around me. Literalists have a hard time around me I have found. Not only are airlines raising baggage fees, they are now cracking down on crossbody bags and fanny packs. Yes, fanny packs! What is the world coming to? Many of you saw a post from Twisted X Global Brands that I am a finalist for D CEO Finance Executive of the Year. I am generally non-plussed about being in the spotlight. That said, it is nice to be honored as a finalist for a) the exposure it garners for the brand, b) the opportunity to brag on my team and c) the affirmation that hard work and caring about people makes a difference. Some of you know I wanted to study psychology instead of accounting. I won't go into the story here but suffice it to say, the desire to study psychology has never left me. In fact, it has driven me to work in companies where I could be more operational and work with people, putting the puzzle together of how to create strong teams. I appreciate all of my employers for giving me great opportunities to live my passion while getting paid for something I didn't love to do but worked hard at being good at. I am ever thankful for the opportunities and the many, many teammates I have been able to work with and, hopefully, make an impact on in their lives. Good memories and excitement for the next chapter. https://lnkd.in/gCabWRzm #oneanother #bettertogether #belight #belove #behope #bemercy #begrace
