You know what's pretty cool? Strong leadership that recognises leadership potential, and lifts you up. I'm two weeks into a brand new journey. New environments are scary. Meeting new people is daunting. I've had a lot of change over my twenty something years and sometimes I feel like it never gets easier. But this incredible pool of talent known as Battenhall gave me a platform from the first day I walked through the door... and they've taught me something👇 When you start a new job, don't try to prove your worth. Shake off the pressure to be confident and to be seen. Your value isn't in your status as the new talent as that will expire. It's in your authenticity. Success will show up when you do, in the unpolished, grounded version of you. YOU were hired for a reason. Cringey 🫣 ? No, just honest. Thanks Drew Benvie for your trust. Let's wow that new client 😎 #newjob #leadership

It was so energising to bring our global teams together physically and virtually for our first company Town Hall of the year this week. New starters sat next to old timers is amazing to help build team culture. That's Charlie Sharpe in grey, in his 10th year at Battenhall after starting work at the agency at the tender age of 17, sat next to one of our newest team members Isabella B. who has just won her first client in her second week here. And me looking on in pride at our 60+ colleagues dialling in and co-presenting from across the world. Here's to 2024 surrounded by positivity and talent.
