Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group’s Post

✅𝐈𝐓 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐄𝐒 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄 𝐀𝐍 𝐀𝐔𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐂 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐑: As the facade of perfection fades, we no longer need to maintain a veneer of invulnerability. This takes time. In the early stages of our careers, we often find ourselves enamored with the ideal of 🌱 𝒂 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌 𝒆𝒏𝒗𝒊𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 🌱 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎 𝒋𝒐𝒃, 🌱 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒄𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒕𝒆𝒂𝒎, 🌱 the 𝒇𝒍𝒂𝒘𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒄𝒖𝒍𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆. However, as we progress and grow, we begin to 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐬. We come to appreciate the stories of ✅𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒈𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒖𝒎𝒑𝒉, ✅𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒗𝒖𝒍𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒍𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈, ✅𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒃𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒄𝒍𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒆𝒅 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒇𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒔𝒔, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 ✅ 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒂𝒅𝒂𝒑𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒏𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒈𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒔𝒄𝒂𝒑𝒆. We become 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭, calling out to connect with the 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐭𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟. What were once seen as imperfections, we now view as testaments to a 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐮𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲. This picture of me was when I was working in Mainland China training and coaching in international etiquette (more than a decade ago). It was the beginning of my journey as I worked my way to becoming a leadership presence coach. It took me time to get here. It takes time... #leadershipcoach #executivepresence

On Core Values: Reflecting on my journey, I've realized that my most significant growth often follows challenges and unexpected deviations rather than straightforward successes. Ten years ago, I resigned from a dream job at Starwood, leaving behind a major promotion and a stellar team, to relocate to Hong Kong in support of my then-husband. What seemed like a career setback turned into an incredible opportunity. The move opened new doors, including joining Rosewood Hotel Group, where I contributed to the growth of a leading luxury brand. Periods of 'deviation', combined with introspection, reveal rich insights into our core values. For me, these include authenticity, curiosity, integrity, and servanthood. Knowing our values enables mindful choices in our relationships, both personal and professional. Mistakes are feedback loops. By refining our choices, we enhance value-based alignment, improving the quality of our relationships and life. Adam Grant aptly noted about integrity, one of my core values: "Most leaders prize loyalty. Great leaders put a higher premium on integrity. Loyalty is allegiance to power. You're expected to show deference and follow orders. Integrity is allegiance to principles. You're expected to challenge orders that violate your mission or values." I invite you to reflect on your core values. Who do you gravitate toward or avoid, and why? What do you react to? There are likely five to seven core values that guide everything you do. Knowing these is the first step toward creating mindful new chapters in every aspect of life. #leadership #principles #corevalues #adamgrant

Senior business people. Corporate leaders, movers and shakers. We know how to build a persona. But do we know how to set stretch goals? For ourselves? Ones that blow us out of our present reality and take us to our highest and best? I don’t know about you but my experience is, too many are holding on to our stories, Holding on to the belief that to reach out, to really connect, to ask for support, to be seen for who we really are… is weakness. “How dare you!” “Who are you to….” “Do you know who I am…” Are all escape mechanisms; blocks to our own transformation. I know this for a fact. As was cemented by this presentation by YBhg Dato Sri Idris Jala.

Are you ready to join me on an adventure? On 30th November from 2-5pm GMT, I will guide a bespoke group on a journey towards more effectively navigating global cultures. Where are we going? The group will pre-select the 3 countries we will explore in depth from a list of 10 options. What will we be exploring? No, this isn't a holiday planning event. We'll be diving deep into the various dimensions of how the selected country cultures approach business, such as communicating, leading meetings, the art of influencing, decision-making, concepts of time, building relationships, local customs and more. How will we get there? As your guide, I'll take you through the basics of cultural dimensions in business as your map. Then we'll go deeper into exploring the specifics of the 3 selected countries. You will have time to meet and engage with your fellow companions on the journey, to explore your own personal challenges when working across cultures, and raise questions or seek advice on specific topics. What can you expect? A rich learning experience with relevant examples and practical applications that you can use in your own territory. A safe space to explore and ask questions, as well as build your network with other global explorers. For those of you who are keen to join, don't miss the early bird discount for tickets purchased by 31st October. And don't forgot to invite a friend or two to join the journey with you!

What I am convinced of that our culture , heritage ”Sanaa” and thoughts are not against or conflict with the modern management practices I mean we can be successful managers at the same time we are practicing our “Sanaa” culture 😊

At Miss Rodeo Canada Queen Alum Assc .. helping the ladies ‘build confidence’ & ‘overcome their fear’ were just 2 modules from my Mastering Public and Imromptu Speaking presentation. But 2 extremely important ones. These modules are designed to empower participants by enhancing their public speaking skills and boosting their self-confidence in front of an audience. This training not only helps them excel in their rodeo queen competitions & responsibilities, but also in various aspects of life where clear and confident communication is key. We can all benefit from understanding the power of effective communication. Whether it’s presenting to potential clients, motivating our teams, or engaging with customers, the ability to clearly and persuasively convey our ideas is crucial for success. I was shocked when I went to a major Leadership event and they had 3 x c-suite level executive women on stage to answer impromptu questions. One was terrific - polished - representing her major corporate brand well. The other two. Whoa!! Filler words, poor thought process , language, use of words, terrible body language… Not good! By mastering these skills, we can drive innovation, foster strong relationships, and lead our businesses toward greater achievements.We can drive innovation, foster strong relationships, and lead our businesses toward greater achievements. Speaking well is good for business it projects confidence, professionalism, and competence. Effective communication can help establish trust and credibility with clients, partners, and employees, ultimately enhancing the overall reputation of the business. It also facilitates better negotiation, problem-solving, and leadership, all of which are essential for successful operations & brand. #speaking #impromptuspeaking #professionalism #confidence #projectssuccess #reputation #buildsbrand #jackierainforth #rainmakersgroup. #speaker #trainer

6 ways to deal with dry Promotion It was supposed to be an exciting step in my career — a hard-earned promotion to Senior Director of European Operations at Voyageur Technologie, our company’s swanky headquarters in the heart of Paris. The new title came with a fancy corner office looking out over the Seine and a hefty pay raise. But just a few months in, I’m overwhelmed and questioning whether I’m eliminated for this elevated role. Sounds familiar?

It was during the summer of 2018, my partner in crime Laura Eylen has finished another education and was doing talent researches with people, professionals and whomever was interested in. It was a warm summer evening, we were sitting at the terrace of our apartment in Hapimag resort in Albufeira, she took all the passions and time to talk to me and tried to find out what was my talent, I am not the easiest person to talk me through it, as I don't have passions to wait , at least then I didn't have. Finally she found out that my talent was / is, that "extra added value", above the expectations of someone from me, employer, person, colleague etc . So , putting some extra value to it, more than I suppose to. Who wouldn't like to hear that? But i don't like the arrogance and I always believed that working hard and doing your very very best is the only way to get things done and key to succes, so I wasn't keen to hear something that positive over myself... Which kept me thinking and I thought about my "general life & carrier" and trust me , I wasn't always an added value to everything, but I did always with the best intentions to change peoples views, show them what they really can, give them trust, which always results to personal growth, that always results to make companies better too. So that was indeed my talent! So when I have started with my own company a year ago now, I named it after my "talent" and I started with My Added Value. In this one year, I have worked and work with fantastic companies, people, create new products, change the older ones, try to help leaders, give hospitality and other trainings, build new hotels, and teach whatever I might learned in the last 25 years to brilliant students, created our own education program Hands-up Futureproof Leadership, got educated and still go for more learnings for example Spanish lessons and just try to add value to your and my life. I am grateful for you, for your believe in me. I am happy and thankful for the risks that I have taken. Up to next steps. Much much appreciated. #entrepreneur #talent #addedvalue #risks #business #education #leadership #past #future #school #hotel #hospitality
