In partnership with treebytree, we are working towards a sustainable future by restoring critical landscapes which help the planet thrive. Treebytree and their partners (such as us) work around the world to ensure restorative impacts are meaningful, uniquely claimed, and perform as intended. After launching our commitment to our 'Green Growth' initiative in early June, we have already restored 6 trees and we have kick started our journey to our quest to reach 200 by World Environment Day 2025.

Ego and self-promotion – what’s the difference? 🤔 Is having an ego and mastering self-promotion the same thing? Having recently caught up with Marja-Leena Toseland (Editor at PA Life), we discussed one of our most recent blogs, published by our very own Emma to discusses the definitions and differences. Do you ever think about posting something you are proud of either personally or professionally on a platform such as LinkedIn, but stop yourself because you are worried that people will think you are egotistical or conceited? Well, that is a shame and needs to change. Read our thoughts on this and get in touch if you would like to explore how we can help you with this with our Executive Coaching Services (on Personal Branding). https://lnkd.in/emFeS2mj #careers #personalbranding #selfpromotion #ego #difference #career #spotlight

🌟 Starting Your Day Right In the hustle and bustle of our professional lives, it’s easy to overlook the simple rituals that set the tone for a productive day. One such ritual that we've found that the whole Lily Shippen team do, is starting our days with a hot drink, whether it’s a cup of tea, an oat milk cappuccino (there is always one 😜) , or even a herbal infusion. This small but significant routine provides a moment of calm and mindfulness before diving into the day. BUT......can you guess who starts their day like this!? #hotdrinks #routine #mornings #workplace #startingtheday #habits

Coaching and Mentoring - How invaluable is it for Executive Assistants? We recently had the pleasure of speaking with Patrick Bevan FRSA, a trusted Change Advisor and Coach helping people solve gnarly problems and bringing joy in doing so (or so he tells us 😉). Having spent most of his career navigating the challenging world of big business he is now focussed on supporting senior leaders (specifically brilliantly Neurodiverse ones) through the power of coaching and mentoring. Read his more in-depth thoughts on how we can all be coached and mentored to success: https://lnkd.in/eSXuDDRs #coaching #mentoring #growth #leadership #change #personalgrowth #careerdevelopment #success

Empowering Tomorrow's Workforce: Starting with Shrewsbury School   As a responsible Recruiter it is imperative that we guide the next generation towards their professional journeys, and we believe that we can do this by taking accountability for providing better understanding of all types of career opportunities, specifically for the EA and PA profession.   Matt Gregson (Our National Recruitment Manager) recently participated in a significant event at Shrewsbury School, organised by Shropshire Chamber of Commerce and Andrew Goff.   As part of their Future Leaders initiative, Matt ran live workshops for current students with the aim of shedding light on the crucial roles of Executive Assistants and Personal Assistants (and their potential as a fulfilling career path regardless of gender stereotypes), along with his own career journey from Teacher to National Recruitment Manager.   By doing so, we are able to:   - Empower them to make informed decisions about their futures. - Challenge stereotypes and biases associated with certain professions. - Meet the evolving needs of the workforce by cultivating diverse talents. - Inspire innovation and creativity through exposure to various fields. - Address skills gaps and contribute to economic growth and prosperity.   Let's invest in our future by providing young minds with the knowledge and resources they need to thrive in any career path that they choose. #futureleaders #youth #nextgeneration #recruiters #recruitmentagency #businessupport #executivesupport #management #inspire #lead #domore
