Club Med’s Post

👋🏻🤚🏼Jarryd Mccormack, Business Development Manager at LMG, kicks off the new year in the Take 5 hot seat. 1. When did you get started with LMG?🙂 I’ve been with LMG for nearly two years, and it’s been the most eye-opening experience of my professional life. I’d been on the supplier side for many years, so discovering the other side and helping our members to nurture and grow their businesses has been amazing.   2. What’s a valuable lesson you’ve learned along the way?🤔 Stay focused on what you can control and don’t get bogged down in the things you have no control over.   3. What are you looking forward to it 2024?🤝🏼 I’m excited about opening and setting up new stores for our members and bringing new members across to LMG.   4. How do you approach the challenging aspects of your job?💪🏼 Well, if you didn’t have challenges then you wouldn’t be working! So I try to always see them as opportunities. And with LMG’s really innovative technology and spirit of #bettertogether, you can meet any challenge.   5. What’s the best advice you’d give someone starting out?🧠 I’d encourage them to work closely with their colleagues, take on ideas, be open to change, and learn to harness constructive criticism. And I always remember advice from the first boss I had when I started working at 16 – he told me to imagine your brain has an empty sponge inside it and to make sure you soak up all the good things around you to help further your career.   6. Where do you find inspiration? 👩👦👦 Always from my beautiful wife and two amazing boys. And from seeing the satisfaction on members’ faces when I’ve managed to influence how they do business in a positive way. That always makes your efforts feel worthwhile.   7. And finally, what’s your go-to end of week drink and how do you like to enjoy it?🥃 If it’s in a can, it has to be a James Squire Ginger Beer. Otherwise, I’ll go for one of the best Australian whiskeys on the market like the Morris Rutherglen Signature single malt whiskey. And they only way to have it is neat! #liquormarketinggroup #lmg #liquorindustry #retailexcellencetogether #BetterTogether #BetterThanYesterday #australianretail #australianliquor #businessdevelopment #employeeinsights

In this job, you'll have the opportunity to learn and grow while making a real difference in people's lives. As a Hospitality IT Support professional, you can be proud of your work.

It is never too early or too late to change your career path. Change roles. Go for that promotion. Switch departments or sectors. Move from in-house to agency. Exit events. Enter events. Start your own business. Do something that pushes your boundaries. Something that people wouldn’t expect of you. I used to work in pharmaceuticals doing new product development and using my science background. Now, I work at iconic events. It doesn’t have to “make sense”. We all need this reminder from time to time. The journey is yours and yours alone! #EventPlanner #EventProfs #EventProfsUK #EventCareer #EventCareers #EventCareerCoach #CareerCoach #CareerChange #AFlairForVIPEvents #AFlairForEvents

About me at 23….Today I came across this “about” me bio that I had written almost 10 year ago.   It paints a picture of a younger me, keen on gaining every experience possible, with a side of health and fitness that admittedly has been challenging to keep up with (it's still on the to-do list, I promise!).   Back then, I was on a mission to soak up as much experience as possible, diving into roles that ranged from sales (my first job post leaving school was selling perfume….don’t ask, but it’s true..) to security and event management. I had a hunger to learn and a drive to become a well-rounded event professional, not just in my homeland but across Europe.   Fast forward ten years, and the landscape has changed dramatically. The confidence and knowledge I aspired to have grown, shaping me into someone who can navigate diverse roles and drive them forward. The path wasn't always straight; it involved turns, dips, and the occasional uphill climb, but every step was invaluable.   Today, my mission continues with a deeper understanding and a broader horizon. I'm still learning, still growing, and more committed than ever to being an asset to the teams I work with and the clients I serve.   Here's to the next chapter — to the events we'll craft, the challenges we'll navigate, and the occasional gym session that will definitely happen (no, really this time).   #EventManagement #ProfessionalGrowth #LookingAhead #SafetyFirst #PersonalDevelopment #From23To33 #TheNextDecade #LiveEvents #EventProfessional  

New Opportunities

💲 💲 💲 Don’t ever settle for someone hanging a dollar sign over your head to determine your worth. Embrace an entrepreneurial spirit! 🎉🎉🎉 I decided long ago that I wanted to be in charge of the number above my head. Many years ago, I left a salaried position with a crappy boss and crappy demands to start something for myself. A business that I could grow and enjoy and work as hard as I wanted. 🏃♀️ Fast forward to the last couple of years and closing that business. After moving to Florida, I took a position as an event coordinator for a luxury RV resort. Sounds fun right? It should have been but yet again, I’m working my @$$ off for someone else who has hung a dollar sign over my head and was a micro-manager. 😡 When this opportunity with GPAC came along, I decided I was going to commit to this for a year. I had the experience to run a business so I knew I could succeed in this. I am motivated by the work ethic of being rewarded by my actions and ambitions. Recruiting isn’t for sissies. Don’t approach it lightly. It’s fast paced. It’s fun. It’s gritty. It’s demanding. And I love it! 💗 If that’s you too, #letsconnect and let me tell you why you should be here at #gpac The #1 #digitalrecruitment platform!! 💻 #recruiting #recruitement #nowhiring #opportunties

My Two Years as an Event Manager: A Journey of Learning and Growth Reflecting on my two years with Woofys, it's been a journey marked by significant personal and professional growth. I joined Woofys fresh out of university, equipped with a major in event management and a passion to utilise my theoretical knowledge and previous hospitality experience and translate that into real-world event activation action. Over the past two years at Woofys, I've had the privilege to immerse myself in the dynamic world of event management, learning and growing with each project. From coordinate large-scale event activations to curating intimate influencer gatherings, every opportunity has been a chance to put my skills to the test and refine them further. Yet, beyond the operational intricacies of event management lies the very real impact of human connections. Engaging with a diverse array of collaborators, clients, and attendees, I was able to pick up invaluable lessons in effective communication, empathy, and relationship-building. With the unwavering support of my colleagues and the trust of our clients, I've navigated challenges, honed my problem-solving abilities, and developed invaluable relationships along the way. These experiences have not only shaped my professional journey but also reinforced my commitment to delivering exceptional events that leave a lasting impact; connecting brands with people, which is at the core of what Woofys does. Here's to two years of growth, learning, and memorable experiences—and to the exciting opportunities that lie ahead with Woofys! #EventManagement #Woofys #ServingFun

You may leave your job, but you'll never leave the relationships you've forged. Yesterday, I had the pleasure of catching up with Evania Ng who's been part of my professional journey from my previous company to my current one at Raffles Medical Group. Crossing paths again reminded me of the enduring relationships built in the business world. There's something truly special about reconnecting with clients who appreciate you and the value you bring. These moments remind me of why I love what I do – the chance to build meaningful relationships and contribute in a way that goes beyond my job scope. This is what makes me feel fulfilled at work; what's yours? #ClientConnections #ProfessionalJourney #Gratitude #accountmanagement

Put Yourself in the Right Spots Some Context: Almost two years ago, we talked to Alec Scott at the DP World Tour about his role as a sales coordinator. He has since moved internally to a new position as sustainability project manager. During our discussion about the tour, we touched on the "event runners," typically students working summer jobs. They used to frequently seek Chris's advice on networking, as Chris was actively networking himself at the tour. Chris's response was: "You're in the best possible spot." Why? For exame these event runners were at a "Rolex Series" event where major players like B&W, Rolex, CSM Sport & Entertainment, prominent agents, marketing agencies, and more were present. They had access to all of them. All they had to do was.. Introduce themselves and start a conversation. And all it takes is one person to connect with you, relate to you, or simply like you enough to remember you and maybe even offer assistance. The advice here is to position yourself in the best possible spot to reach the people you want to talk to or even become. And remember, It only takes one person! #NetworkingTips #ProfessionalDevelopment #CareerAdvice #EventNetworking #NetworkingSuccess #CareerGrowth #BusinessConnections #CareerInsights
