Earlier this month I hit my 4 year anniversary with Mohawk Industries. The time has flown by and I have really enjoyed it so far. One thing that seems to stay true with recruiting from year to year is that it is a rollercoaster ride. The key is to have more ups than downs. Thanks to a great team and partners throughout the company, I think we have done that so far. On to the next 4. #MoreWithMohawk #enjoytheride #talentacquisition #recruiting

Some more snaps from the workshop with StoreForce I have loved many things about working with these people over the years. But one of my favourite things is how they mix fun, honesty, candour, skill and professionalism. They are not afraid to challenge the status quo, and face into the difficult things - in service of their overring objective... ✅ To help retailers become more successful at what they do Storeforce have such a rich group of amazing speciality retailers who they support. Having worked in and with retailers myself for over 2 decades, it makes me feel good that: 1) This team will take these ideas and make them work to make their work AND personal lives better 💥 BUT ALSO 2) This will also have a direct benefit to their clients 💥💥💥💥💥 Yesterday I asked them to go on a walk, and photograph something that represented teamwork. You can see in that image at the bottom that Naomi, Mel, Tyra, Rochelle, Harvey and Judy decided that nothing represented TEAM more than they did themselves. ❤️ LOVE IT! #workshop #CLEAR #prioritisation #goals #success #talent #luckyme

10 Year Anniversary Today I celebrate my 10 year work anniversary with some Tiff's Treats Cookie Delivery chocolate chip cookies from my team.  As I reflect back on the last 10 years, it has been quite a ride.  There have been ups, downs and all-arounds.  The revenue targets discussed in my interview have been blown out of the water.  I’ve worked with and continue to work with some great people.  My job today doesn’t look like the original plan, but isn’t that part of the fun?    Everyone has a plan ‘til they get punched in the mouth. - Mike Tyson We’ve all been “punched in the mouth” a time or ten. 😀   Keeping an attitude that creates opportunities out of obstacles is what separates success from failure.  One thing that stays consistent…I try to be better today than I was yesterday.  I plan to be better tomorrow than I was today.  Keeping that attitude is harder on some days than on others.  Learning that the journey IS THE DESTINATION is one of the small things that keeps me motivated. Mark Nicholson Here’s to 10 more years!  🙂 #anniversary #10years #growth  #servicepros

Every leader must reflect on one’s character defects in order to make changes to become the better-version-of-oneself. The ones who face the ugly truth and make the changes are the good leaders.

🚀 Just wrapped up an incredibly productive day at StoreIT's quarterly Strategic Session with our amazing business coach, Eliot Wajskol! 📈 We took a deep dive into shaping the path ahead, and I'm thrilled to share our game plan for the next quarter. 📆 Here are the highlights: 🎯 We've set six clear and ambitious goals to drive our success forward. 🔍 We broke down these goals into mini-steps and tasks, ensuring we have a roadmap for success. 🗓️ We’ve designated a due date and a team member to oversee and be held accountable for each goal and each task. But it wasn't just about goals and tasks. 💰 We also took the time to review our 8 cash flow drivers, discussing expectations, goals, and any potential challenges. At the heart of it all is the pursuit of something we deeply value - freedom. Freedom to spend time as we wish, to create unique experiences, and to share those moments with our loved ones and our incredible team at StoreIT. Our success directly translates into the freedom to make those special memories, and that's why aligning our goals and working together as a team is paramount. Thank you, Eliot, for guiding us through this inspiring session! The journey ahead is exciting, and we can't wait to achieve these goals together. 🌟 #StoreITSuccess #TeamWork #GoalSetting #BusinessGrowth #StrategicSession

Guess what happened today that totally blew my mind? So, I was just going about my business at work when I turned around to help a customer, and guess who it was? Jessica from my White House | Black Market days! Talk about a blast from the past! It was such a pleasant surprise to see her, and as we caught up, it got me thinking about our time at WHBM. You know, it struck me that a lot of people know how much I love visuals, and Jessica played a huge role in igniting that passion in me. She was the one who really introduced me to the whole visual space thing. Thanks to her influence, I was able to make a smooth transition from working on visuals at WHBM to doing the same at Victoria’s Secret, all while excelling in sales. And let's not forget my stint as the Merchandise Team Leader at Aerie before landing the gig as Store Manager. Jessica was like the spark that set off this whole exciting journey of exploring how far I could take my merchandising skills and sales prowess. It's funny how these little chance encounters can make you reflect on how far you've come, right? It's moments like these that make me appreciate the journey and the people who have been a part of it. Who would've thought a regular day at work could turn into a trip down memory lane and a reminder of the impact someone can have on your life and career? 💚 #AerieReal #Growth

2nd month at Regal. It’s March 2013 and I had absolutely no clue what I was doing. I was so confused. Life. Work. All of it. I graduated A&M in 2006, and got hired by my two best friends from high school. Their uncle had started this big retail chain called “Entertainmart”. 40,000 sq ft. glorified pawn shops. All pre-owned. Used DVDs, CDs, and video games. Our staff was mostly high school kids or kids that just graduated high school. Trying to figure it all out. We all were. Lol. Managing these stores. I was so confused, and I was absolutely the worst leader. I lead by fear. Intimidating staff. Throwing sh*t. Firing kids on the spot. Hardcore. Narcissist. I was Disgusting. 🤮 🤮 In Jan 2013 it was time to move back home. I was a Dallas kid and I was homesick. I called my parents, begged for a job and they said yes of course, I was their only son. And boom. There I am. Pic below. Confused. Newly married. Worst leader ever. Honestly, I was a pretty awful human being. All I did was take from the world. I def wasn’t filling it with any love. I was just kinda a piece of sh*t. A year later I was writing $100k a month in sales and fell head first into luck when I met my first and biggest mentor Mark Connelly. He challenged me. I’ll never forget the words. “Chad, you have got to stop thinking in terms of addition, start thinking multiplication.” I was worried about pulling OUT of the biz to stark working ON the biz. I took his advice. Did it. And it was the biggest decision of my life, and still to this day the best decision I ever made. I started working on the people. Getting the wrong people off the bus and getting the right people on the bus. All I did was recruit for the next 4 years. Looking for people with an awesome attitude. People that were enthusiastic about life. People that saw the glass half full. People filled with ❤️ I hired THOSE people and got rid of all the bad attitudes. And now our company and my life will never be the same. Here’s the lesson: You are what you eat. The second I got these people in my life, I started to change. I started to become a better version of me. Slowly. Very slowly. But surely. These incredible people challenged me. They were honest, bold, and good hearted. They sent me so much hard love. In a time where I was completely off the rails they got me back on track - to being the person I always wanted to be. I owe them my life. Because without their hard love I wouldn’t be the person I am today. So to anyone out there building a team. Fill it with these kinds of people. Big hearted, I want to make the world a better place type people. The humble, vulnerable type. The open minded type. The clear eyes, full hearts type. Work most def doesn’t have to suck. It can be a place where you become your true self. Your best self. But you can’t do it alone. You need friends to help you along the way. 😘

🎉 Celebrating my 24th birthday this week! Until recently age was something I avoided discussing, afraid that it would downplay my years of experience but after joining the corporate world days after turning 16, I'm also celebrating 8 years in corporate retail. Since joining the team at Quadmark I have come to appreciate the insight and experience I have gained by starting when I did and wanted to share some of my biggest lessons so far: Diverse Mentors: Valuable lessons often come from unexpected sources. Embracing diverse perspectives teaches you the best lessons. Seek out unexpected mentors—they may provide insights that shape your journey. Embrace Challenges: Growth in my career has often stemmed from daunting challenges. Each obstacle is a chance for personal and professional development. Say yes to scary things. Learning to Learn: Balancing work and study early in my career taught me a crucial lesson: education isn't just about subjects (looking at my IT degree); it's mastering the art of learning, it gives you the confidence when presented with a new challenge that you can tackle it.  #CareerJourney #BirthdayReflections #ProfessionalGrowth

PROUD TO BE TEAM IRESS It's my third anniversary at Iress today, and oh - what a roller coaster it has been! A takeover offer, a change in CEO and management team, a new strategic direction, new divisions and a transformation. As Iress released its FY23 result yesterday and my third year turned over, I contemplated whether the title of this post should be "Proud to be Iress", "Proud to be an Iressman" (get the pun?) or "Proud to be an Iressian." Whatever we call ourselves, I'm proud to be part of Team Iress and think its time we shouted it from the rooftops. Most people know that we are in the middle of a transformation program. These processes can be tough, and what's going on at Iress is no exception. Within a relatively short timeframe we restructured, appointed new business heads, sold businesses and made the difficult but necessary decision to reduce staff numbers. Iress starts 2024 focusing on product innovation and roadmaps, client service and transparency in financial reporting. Change creates both uncertainty and opportunity. It's a time to focus on delivery but also to wave the flag and celebrate the good. I want to lead the charge by declaring - this is a great business with strong recurring revenues, great clients, great people and great prospects. Our predecessors built sticky products in big addressable markets. We acknowledge the roots they planted. Our job is create green shoots from those roots. Yes, the journey is tough and we still have lots to achieve. But we are well underway, and there's light at the end of the tunnel (it's not a freight train!). Thanks to all of Team Iress. I'm proud to be on the team.
