SEPHORA Recently I hosted a virtual moment to pause with my colleagues and have some virtual fun together. Celebrating wins, big or small is so impactful. Each victory, no matter its size, is a testament to our hard work, resilience, and commitment. It's not just about reaching the finish line, but also appreciating the journey that got us there. 2023 was a year that shed light on new opportunities, changes and obstacles for our team. Celebrations foster a sense of accomplishment and boost morale, but they also play a crucial role in strengthening our collaborative relationships. They remind us that our successes are not achieved in isolation, but through the collective effort of a dedicated team. Having fun together isn't just an added bonus, it's a key driver in achieving our goals. Shared laughter and joy create a bond that fosters a sense of unity that is truly invaluable. Here you can see my teams findings after I told them to race and find something blue in our "Find Something" game. Don't mind my face, I was focused on capturing the moment haha. We spent time diving further into our Gallup strengths and how they show up in the way we work. We had some fun in sharing some favourite personal stories and ended with some friendly competition. Mikala Medeiros, M.Ed.Vanessa Savanh Abeha Ali Let's continue to celebrate our wins, elevate our relationships, and remember to have fun along the way. Because together, we are stronger, more resilient, and capable of achieving great things. #sephora #sephoralife #greatplacetowork #collaboration #resilience #Teamwork #Success #Celebration"

Telling someone you appreciate them goes a long way, so why not make that someone your co-worker who’s always got your back (and snacks)? Because a simple ‘thank you’ has a significant impact in making someone’s day better.   Which is why we teamed up with Advantage Club for Croma Appreciation Week. It’s already been a week, and we’ve secretly noticed a few of our co-workers smiling while reading their appreciations. So, let’s take a moment to recognise the efforts of the people in our workspace. Got a name in mind? Mention them in the comments below.   Let's see if the admin gets some love too! 😉 #Croma #CromaAppreciationWeek

🌟 Embracing the Retail Journey as a Mom 🌟 In the vibrant world of retail and the beautiful chaos of motherhood, finding the perfect balance might seem like an elusive goal. But here's a truth I've come to embrace as a proud #RetailMomPro: it's not about achieving perfection but celebrating the small victories in both realms. 🎉💼 Each day, as we navigate the challenges of the retail landscape and cherish the precious moments with our little ones, we're crafting a unique success story. It's a tale of resilience, strength, and the determination to thrive in every role we play. Let's acknowledge that success isn't a one-size-fits-all concept. Instead, it's about embracing the imperfectly perfect journey, finding joy in every milestone, and recognizing that our distinctive blend of roles contributes to a richer tapestry of success. 💪 Check out my latest blog post https://lnkd.in/eajeURx9 for more insights into conquering mom guilt in the retail world. And if you're keen to delve deeper into this conversation, let's connect! Schedule a call with me https://lnkd.in/gAeW99sb, and let's empower each other on this incredible journey of balancing retail and motherhood. ✨ #WorkLifeHarmony #RetailMomGoals #WorkingMoms #RetailArtistry #SupportNetwork #MasterpieceTogether #Empowerment #BalancingActSuccess #RetailMomLife #WorkingMomJourney

Rise and shine. Another day as a CMO unfolds, coffee in hand. Today’s mission? The Power of First Impressions Every click, every view, every interaction counts. A first impression has never been more crucial. Our goal? To ensure our brand not only meets but exceeds expectations at every touchpoint. In the end, it’s those initial moments that define our path forward. 

To mark my 16th year (cue astonished gasps) at Sephora this week, I wanted to share 16 things...I’m kidding. I don’t have 16 important things to share about any topic, and if I did I’d just write a book. So how about SIX lessons I’ve learned on my storied rise (cue eyerolls) from executive assistant to marketing leader. 1️⃣ “Leading by example” is being passionate and trustworthy at work, but it is also taking your PTO, remembering your team members’ birthdays, and not sending emails that require responses at 11pm. 2️⃣ Fight for what you believe in, for what is important to you. This, more than almost anything, will show people who you are. But if *everything* is important to you, you should reprioritize. 3️⃣ “Soft skills” is a bs term Corporate America made up to undermine competencies that may come easier for women. Be a good listener. Exercise empathy. No one is asking you to suddenly become a hugger (I am NOT a hugger), but we all have a heart. Use yours. 4️⃣ Everything is NOT an emergency. 5️⃣ Do the work. But also tell people you did the work. If you didn’t do the work alone, tell people that too. 6️⃣ There are no dumb questions, but there are *not smart* moments to ask them. Know the difference. Now who’s ready for 2024? Pictured: 10 years ago in front of Sephora social's very first hand decorated “selfie wall” my team created to capture the *new* trend of people taking photos of themselves in front of cute backdrops for social media.

🌟 Exciting News: A Product I Designed was Featured in Oprah's Favourite Things 2023! 🌟 I am thrilled to share that one of the products I had the privilege of designing has been featured in Oprah Winfrey - Oprah's Favourite Things 2023! 🚀 Being recognized on such a prestigious platform is a testament to the hard work and dedication poured into creating something truly special. From concept to execution, I envisioned a product that not only meets but exceeds expectations, and it's incredibly rewarding to see it online and in magazines. This achievement wouldn't be possible without countless hours of ideation, refinement, and hard work. I aimed to craft something not only visually appealing, but also with a touch of magic and culture, and to see it celebrated on Oprah's list is beyond gratifying. I want to express my gratitude to everyone who has supported and believed in this project, especially Azetta and One More Cocoa for this opportunity. Your encouragement fueled my commitment to delivering excellence in design. As I celebrate this milestone, I continue to reinforce my goals of pushing boundaries, dreaming big, and creating products that resonate with people on a profound level. Here's to more exciting collaborations and innovations in the future! #Innovation #DesignExcellence #OprahsFavouriteThings #ProductDesign #MilestoneAchievement #TeamWork #DreamBigDesignBigger

💘 Love is in the air and so is the opportunity! 💸 Did you know that Valentine's Day kicks off the consumer spending season with a bang? It's the perfect time for businesses to capitalize and convert those lovey-dovey vibes into cold, hard cash. But hey, let's talk real talk about trends and teamwork – because with great opportunities come great responsibilities. 💼 🌹 Picture this: a couple's favorite restaurant on Valentine's Day. It's packed, the ambiance is just right, and the kitchen is firing on all cylinders. Every member of the team knows their role – from the chef crafting culinary masterpieces to the waitstaff delivering impeccable service. But what if one member drops the ball? Maybe the food takes too long, or the service is subpar. That perfect Valentine's experience turns into a nightmare, and customers might not come back. 💔 Trends are like that too – they bring in big rewards, but they can also lead to big losses if one member of the team doesn't do their job. Take the example of a trendy clothing brand riding high on the latest fashion craze. They're killing it with their marketing, their designs are on point, and customers are flocking to buy. But if their production team drops the ball and can't keep up with demand, it's game over. Customers get frustrated, brand reputation takes a hit, and those big rewards turn into big losses. 📈 So here's the deal: trends are an opportunity, but they're also a test of teamwork. Whether you're in the restaurant biz, fashion industry, or any other hustle, success relies on every member of the team pulling their weight. It's about communication, coordination, and commitment to delivering excellence every step of the way. 💪 Let's make this Valentine's Day – and every day – a win for your business. Embrace the trends, rally your team, and let's crush it together! 💥 #ValentinesDay #BusinessOpportunity #TeamworkMakesTheDreamWork #TrendsAndSuccess

Since it is The Clorox Company 111th anniversary, I'll share about my personal top 3 products: #1 - ✏ Burt's Bees Eyeliner Pencil in Warm Brown. As decidedly not a morning person, I can recall only two good things ever happening to me before 10am: Coffee and Burt's Bees Eyeliner. They go well together. #2 - 🥥 How to get kids to clean? Scentiva Wipes. "basically smells like coconut and so satisfying to watch floor drying". Can't pretend I understand GenAlpha pastime preferences, but I'll take a clean bathroom. #3 - 🥛 So I admit it hadn't occurred to me to have a water filter till acquiring a coffee machine that would only take filtered water. But now that we have Brita, we use it for everything. (Except maybe watering the 🐈 - goodness knows where that oddball creature hydrates, but it's not from his designated water bowl.) On the go Brita bottles are great for travel, too. What product is bringing you joy right now?

Employee recognition is important on Valentine's Day to show appreciation for employees' hard work and dedication.
