New York Times Advertising’s Post

The next chapter will begin shortly.

Each project presents an opportunity to positively impact the people and communities where we work and live.

I introduced myself about a month ago but this time I also wanted to share why I started Best Work Yet. First a little about me: I grew up in New Zealand where I studied business and psychology then I lived in the UK for years (hence the cool international accent). Now I live in Oakville, which is in the Greater Toronto Area where I run my business. When I'm not working, I love anything that involves getting together and being around people. I love drinking wine 🥂 and chatting and playing board games, especially Carcassonne. When I'm playing Carcassonne, I have to be the red Meeple. So, if you want to be friends with me, you have to pick another colour. So yes, I am a people person. I love what I do for work because it's all about people. I get really excited about the intersection between business and psychology. I started Best Work Yet because I care about people and we spend so much time at work, it's important to enjoy it. I want to be great at what I do and have fun doing it and I want that for you as well. Everything we do about Best Work Yet is about those two pieces, being great at what you do and finding the best ways to do it so that you really enjoy it. What is your favourite board game (and do you have a piece you have to be?) https://buff.ly/37td1i8 #bestworkyet #introduction #thewhy

We must be mindful of the opportunities that come our way, and grab them the soonest they come along because that same opportunity may never come along again. Yes, sometimes another opportunity may come but it will never be the same. Opportunities can help you better yourselves, advance your journey, and help you achieve your goals. One opportunity you shouldn't let pass is the opportunity to pursue further studies because that one can open more doors for you. #mastersdegree #mastersgraduate #mastersprogram #true #opportunitiesforgrowth #opportunities #consultingservices #leads

Expanding my perspective on things is something I constantly try to work at. Have you sat back and thought about how BIG the entire world truly is compared to the small area that you live in? Whoa - am I right?? A person with an expanded perspective has: 1. Reduced Prejudice 2. Enhanced understanding and empathy. 3. Better problem solving skills 4. Strong personal growth 5. Increased Cultural Awareness 6. Enhanced Communication Skills One way I've been able to expand my perspective is by joining Civista's DEI Council. The things we talk about in this group can push me right out of my comfort zone, very quickly. But, I always leave a meeting with a new outlook and that feels GREAT. Most recently, we learned about the city of Columbus's housing situation. It was a difficult presentation to sit through. I cried, I felt angry, I even felt guilty at times. When it was all said and done, it stuck with me and that is okay. We don't always have to do things just because we've always done them a certain way. It is a GOOD thing to step out of your comfort zone and LEARN. #expandyourperspective #empathy #embracediversity #openmindedness

I've often navigated my professional journey with caution, mindful of the political landscapes that shape our decisions. But I've come to realize the undeniable power of taking a stand, of choosing a path and walking it with conviction, even in the face of adversity. Today, I'm sharing something deeply personal and significant to me – a micro-documentary that is more than just a film. It's a conversation starter, a mirror to the direction our cities are taking, and a reflection on how we balance capitalism with consciousness. Our family business may be known for its Detergent brand, but we've always aspired to be more than that – to be a positive disruption in the industry. This documentary embodies that spirit. It’s about striving for change, even when it's challenging, and celebrating when our efforts bear fruit. We're organizing national screenings paired with conversations to spark thought and inspire action. This documentary is an invitation to explore, discuss, and hopefully, to move into a space where we can all celebrate progress and positive change. Please watch the trailer here: [https://lnkd.in/gJDgbNHg) and share it with those who believe in the power of meaningful dialogue. Blessings to all, and here's to creating spaces for important conversations. Augie.

Waking up today, our oldest son is now the same age and in the same grade that I was in 23 years ago, on September 11, 2001. It’s a humbling moment to reflect on how much has changed—and how much has stayed the same. On this day of remembrance, I pause to honor the lives lost, the bravery displayed, and the unity we felt as a nation in the face of tragedy. The memories of that day still stir deep emotions, but they also remind me of the importance of empathy and compassion in the world we’re shaping for the next generation. As we continue to grow and learn, it’s important to carry forward the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion. We live in a world that is more connected than ever before. Our differences—whether in background, culture, or perspective—should be celebrated, for they make us stronger and more resilient. Today, let’s honor those we lost by building a future where every voice is heard, where compassion leads, and where we stand together, united in the hope of a more just and inclusive world.

To me, collaboration means more than just getting along with my peers or being a "team player" on a project. It signifies showing up in a profound way for your people—360°. It’s about trusting that to the degree you invest in your team, they will reciprocate. True collaboration requires us to build an environment where everyone feels valued, heard, and empowered. It’s not merely about achieving a common goal but fostering a culture of mutual respect and shared responsibility. It’s about recognizing that every voice matters and every contribution is essential. In my role as an HR executive, I see firsthand the transformative power of genuine collaboration. It goes beyond the confines of a meeting room or project scope. It permeates through every interaction, every decision, and every milestone we achieve together. When we trust our colleagues, we enable innovation and creativity to flourish. When we support each other, we build resilience and a sense of belonging. And when we commit to a 360° approach to collaboration, we pave the way for sustainable success and growth—not just for the organization, but for every individual within it. #GrandTraversePavilions #Collaboration #CoreValues #MissionMotivated
