Absolutely 100%! I think this is true in the L&D space, as well as in any leadership role. If we shift our focus off of ourselves and on to helping others, we are going to see dynamic changes. Those around us will feel seen, motivated, and supported. Watch what they (and you) will accomplish then! #peoplefocused #TEAM #l&d #leadership

*Do not pluck the yellow leaves on the branch,* *One day they will fall by themselves.* *Sit with the elders of the house, talk,* *One day they will automatically become silent.* *set them free,* *let it spend,* *Let live as you please,* *One day they will leave everything for you.* *Don't hit them again and again, they repeat the same things,* *One day you will yearn to hear their voice, when they become silent.* *Take their prayers as much as you can,* *bowing down, touching feet,* *One day they will automatically become images,* *Then there will be no point in apologizing.* *Don't say anything to them in front of others, let them eat, at will,* Then behold, they will not even come to eat,* No matter how many times you celebrate their anniversary.*

Today I celebrate my 32nd birthday 🎂 Today, I'm hitting the big 3-2, and it's got me thinking about the past decade since kicking off my eye care biz. Here's a quick rundown of what's got me buzzing and why I reckon life's more of a marathon than a sprint: 1️⃣ Ocushield Origins: Started my eye care gig ten years back studying optometry at university & it's been a wild ride since! Shoutout to everyone who's been on this journey with me. 🙌 2️⃣ Making Waves: Dragons' Den, a King's Award - yup, we've made a splash or two. But it's not about the trophies (although they’re great to look back on!); it's about the impact we're making in the eye care game. 3️⃣ Crew Love: Massive props to my squad—family, friends, team and mentors—who've had my back through thick and thin. Couldn't have done it without you legends! 4️⃣ Lessons Galore: From epic wins to epic fails, I've soaked up more knowledge than a sponge in a rainstorm. Every stumble taught me something new, and I'm all the better for it. 5️⃣ Eyes on the Prize: Life's not a sprint, it's a marathon. We're in it for the long haul. Ten years down, from an idea at university, a lifetime of possibilities to go. They say most overestimate what they can do in a year, but underestimate what they can do in ten. What I’ve learnt since leaving Specsavers and going full time into Ocushield in 2018 means this decade we’re going to speed things up a little… ;) Blowing out candles today, but the fire's still burning bright. Here's to more adventures, more wins, and more memories to make. Let's do this! 🔥 P.S - thanks to my partner Beth for all these presents 😂 I'm being spoilt.

Embracing a Healthier You in 2024 Prioritizing Physical and Mental Well-Being As we step into the promising realm of 2024, it's time to set goals that truly resonate with our well-being. Amidst the hustle and bustle of professional and personal life, it's crucial to make self-care a non-negotiable priority. This new year, let's embark on a journey to nurture both our physical and mental health. 1. Establishing Mindful Habits In a world that moves at an ever-increasing pace, mindfulness becomes our anchor. Consider incorporating simple yet effective practices like meditation or deep breathing exercises into your daily routine. These moments of stillness can significantly contribute to reducing stress, enhancing focus, and fostering a positive mindset. 2. Nourishing Your Body from Within A healthy mind resides in a healthy body. Explore and adopt a nutrition plan that aligns with your individual needs and preferences. This isn't about strict diets; it's about cultivating a sustainable, balanced approach to eating. Hydration is equally vital. 3. Prioritizing Regular Physical Activity Exercise isn't just about sculpting the body; it's a powerful tool for mental well-being. Find an activity that brings you joy, whether it's yoga, running, or a group exercise class. Regular physical activity not only boosts your mood by releasing endorphins but also contributes to improved overall health. 4. Setting Boundaries for a Healthy Work-Life Integration In our dynamic work environments, setting boundaries is often overlooked. Make a commitment to delineate work and personal time. This could mean logging off at a specific hour, designating tech-free zones, or scheduling regular breaks to recharge. Striking a balance between work and personal life is vital for long-term well-being. 5. Cultivating Meaningful Connections Human connection is a fundamental aspect of our well-being. In 2024, let's prioritize fostering and maintaining meaningful relationships. Whether it's spending quality time with loved ones, connecting with colleagues beyond work tasks, or joining communities that share your interests, building strong connections contributes to a robust support system. 6. Seeking Professional Support When Needed Acknowledging that it's okay to ask for help is a strength, not a weakness. If you find yourself struggling, consider reaching out to mental health professionals. Seeking support is a proactive step towards nurturing your mental health. Let's embrace the opportunity to invest in ourselves. Prioritizing both physical and mental health isn't just a resolution; it's a commitment to living a fulfilling and balanced life. 🎇#NewYearNewYou #WellBeing2024 #HealthGoals #WorkplaceWellness Find out more about Virgin Active South Africa's Workplace Wellness Programmes and Offers email: [email protected] Marise Collins Therina Labuschagne Musa Mahlasela Jason Grippa Prince Ncube Camilla Bergman
