Ready for the Superbowl? From all of tonight’s event-related content one could read these days, this is the piece that struck me most. Taking the entire staff -including interns, of course- to Vegas is a great way to acknowledge their hard work and contributions. After all, an organization's success is a collective effort, and celebrating as a team is crucial in building the culture that got you there, and that will guide you through those times in which you don´t make it to your own Superbowl. #teamworkmatters

THIS IS LEADERSHIP My 16 year old has been at his new part-time job for just over a month. He works at Brave Brewing in Hastings, which is a must-do if you’re ever in these parts (and like great beer, and fat burgers). Let me tell you how owners Gemma and Matt treat their student staff. - Like the young adults they are, which means a proper job interview, proper contract, and proper rosters. - Decent pay with a starting rate that sits well above minimum wage. - Full inclusivity and respect for diversity, gender pronouns, and a “safer spaces” policy on behaviour and how the Brave community operates. - Paid staff training days. - An atmosphere that supports his learning and development (he already knows more about beer than I do). - A long list of staff perks (he can’t wait to be old enough to access the beer-related ones!) - Understanding. My son woke up with a hacking cough and runny nose this morning. He’d already asked for next Saturday off to attend an event and was nervous to call in sick because it would mean letting them down two weeks running. But when he rang, all he got was empathy and compassion. Too often, part timers are treated as a bit of a commodity. Students are viewed as cheap labour, uncommitted and probably unreliable. But give them the tools and they will rise to the challenge. This is true leadership.

How marvelous to watch these seniors invest in their professional futures as they learned tips and tricks on how to network like a pro!

It’s that time of year again ………….. One of my favourite things to do is to support young people. Today I’ll get to meet a group of determined and inspired young people from different backgrounds and from all over the country at the Pathways to Property summer school. One of the hardest things to do in any walk of life is break down barriers and this programme certainly does this for the real estate sector. Even better I’ll get to share knowledge of Savills Earth and the sustainability journey the real estate sector is on, to the next generation of real estate. #realestate #socialvalue
