Sam's Club’s Post

Four years ago I tripped into yet another opportunity, building One Day Agency. As with every other I came across, I said yes. Why? The learning opportunity was just immense to not take it as with all the previous ones. And that's how I got here today after a few countries and roles as a leader of an advertising agency: I focus on learning a ton and I care a ton. Over 30% of my weekly time is purely reading and absorbing content. And applying it, testing it, daily. In addition to some "hacks": - Change jobs regularly: you'll maximise the number of people you meet, the knowledge of each environment you can get access to, your financial potential, and so on unlocking more opportunities and knowledge. - Plan ahead: pick jobs that enable you the skills you will need in 2 years. Want to be the head of the department? Go into a job that will teach you all the knowledge needed to run that department. If that department has multiple silos, you guessed it, you'll need to learn all the silos meaning at times different jobs/roles. - Acquire self-awareness: talk to people openly about your shortfalls and seek advice, self-awareness is the most powerful tool for your personal development and career. - Open criticism: how are you going to do something better if you or your environment doesn't allow sharing ideas and criticism? You won't, you'll be average. - Don't fall into money traps: some life decisions such as buying a house or high-paying sales jobs are nothing but traps. I know, polarising. Great for the short term, really bad for the long term. - Invest in absorbing content, in learning, constantly, every day. You'd be surprised what 15 minutes a day does for you from unlocking new conversations or winning the pitch. Subscribe to relevant people on your phone. What are your hacks and advice to anyone looking to move the needle on their career?

☔️⚽️ Creating Result Resilient Match Day Products ☔️⚽️ “Of course we’re selling fewer X, the team isn’t winning” - how often do we hear this explanation for dwindling commercial revenue? And there is legitimacy to this point of view, watching a losing team is of course a harder sell than watching a winning team. But if you work on the business side, you can’t influence that. A key mantra of mine is to control the controllables! Despite my team sitting bottom of the table (something which comes to everyone at some point working in sport!) our recent hospitality package yesterday was a fourth sell-out in a row! (It only sold out a handful of times across the whole of last season). This season I took control of the package: improving the feel of the product, adding features such as player talks and table service, and really pushed on the marketing of it. Working for a winning team is for sure easier, but when your team is in a tough moment that’s when you really need to ensure your products are everything you want them to be. I’d love to hear of things others have achieved whilst working for teams struggling on the pitch!

What a business! 🌆 The rise of Apple, born in a garage 🍔 McDonald's transformation from a single burger stand 🚗 Ford's assembly line innovation reshaping industries. Or, as per Dave Holloway, the rise of Brighton in the Premier league. These tales remind us that every empire begins with a small start somewhere. Some amazing ideas born, and an epic growth story from the rocket ship that is ISMS.online - 💡 #BusinessLegends #InnovationJourney #InspiringSuccess

Last week, the ISMS.online team spent an inspiring day away at the iconic AMEX stadium in Brighton! 🌟 As many of you know, we're in an exciting phase of growth, and it was fantastic to take a step back, realign, and remind ourselves of the core values that drive us. There's often a misconception in governance, risk, and compliance that it's all about checkboxes and stringent rules. However, our day at AMEX reaffirmed that it's truly about people, processes and technology. 👥🔄🔧 Our team interactions reminded me that while tech plays a critical role in GRC, the people and processes truly breathe life into it. Our discussions, and brainstorming sessions, showcased how every member at ISMS.online embodies these principles. We don't just talk about GRC; we live it! #TeamDay #AMEXBrighton #Governance #RiskManagement #Compliance
