Lesson of the week: Learn to “ski” the variables. ⛷️ Just like skiing, not every day in sales will have the perfect conditions. There will be good weeks, tough days, problems, wins, and everything in between. But just like a good skier, it's important to learn how to ski the variables and enjoy the day. As someone who loves skiing, I've learned to enjoy all conditions - powder, icy, early season, and spring skiing. I've learned to adapt and make the most of what's in front of me. Of course, I always hope for powder, but that's not always possible. Similarly, in sales, not every day will be perfect, but that doesn't mean you can't have fun and enjoy what you do. Learn to adapt, try to master a new skill, do something different, and make the most of what's in front of you. Leaneing to ski the variables and being adaptable will take you far in your career. ❄️ #salesleadership #selling #extremeownership

Summary: FQ tip for increasing your task focus I get asked often: "What's your tip to stop being distracted by my phone and other distractions?" "Go skiing*", is my answer Yep, that's what I'm doing this week in Mayerhofen, Austria. Doing a task that requires your full concentration because you don't want to get injured is a great way to make sure you're not scrolling on your phone, checking emails all the time, refreshing LinkedIn, going and checking what's in the fridge, having a random chat, etc. It's amazing how little I've been distracted since I started skiing yesterday. The thing is you don't have to go skiing to recreate this effect. Just ask yourself: "would I do this distracting activity if I was skiing right now?" If the answer is no then put the distracting action down and go back to your main task. Simple! * other activities that also require full focus also work in this situation. Eg swimming with sharks, sky diving, F1 driving, etc #effectiveness #StartupLife #SmallBusinessOwner #PositivePalestinian #FQ #skiing #focus #distractions

🎿 Can you think of anything more enjoyable in winter than skiing on a well-groomed slope? Of course! Skiing on such a slope with well-prepared skis with sharp edges and even bases. And the ultimate dream is to achieve this state without wasting time and money: this is what skiers working at #BusinessGarden have, as they can bring their skis or snowboard to the office before the holidays and have them serviced free of charge while they work and pick them up later. As part of the service, the equipment is carefully cleaned, sharpened and waxed, as well as undergoing a general inspection. Because hospitality by Vastint is not an empty slogan, but something concrete! #VastintPoland #ProjectbyVastint

The winter months are fast approaching...are you ready for the Winter season yet?✨ For me, skiing has a special place in my heart — I met my wife skiing, and we also spent our honeymoon in snow! ❄️ This is a picture of us skiing in Finland on our honeymoon! Thinking of this special day with my wife reminded me of the thrill of the descent, the crisp mountain air, the snowy landscape, and a shared Passion. Beyond it being our hobby — I find that skiing is a way of Life to sharpen the mind and body. It offers a powerful blend of: ✅ This skill enhances your ability to organise and prioritise what matters most. ✅ It teaches you to make effective decisions and find solutions to specific problems. ✅ Being fully present and aware on the slopes helps you manage your thoughts and emotions. Is there a hobby that has a special place in your heart? What made it special, and how does it make your decision-making better? I’d love to know your stories! ⬇️ Jo Hammerton

Learning from mistakes This picture is from my winter holiday where I went skiing without checking the local conditions good enough. I didn’t prepare well and had to pay the price of poor skis. 🤔 Skiing for me is also an opportunity to clear my head and structure my thoughts and on this particular trip I thought about failures and how great they are for learning, but at the same time how difficult it is to create a culture where people feel safe to experiment, fail, learn from mistakes and talk about it 🫡 One thing I try to focus on myself is trying to set a good example by showing humility and admitting mistakes myself when I make them for hopefully others to follow. 💡On this skiing trip I also had a crazy idea about introducing a fuck-up of the year award to be run together with our plant of the year award in December🤷♂️ What do you think? Should we try the fuck-up-of-the-year award? Any other ideas on how to create a culture where people are not afraid to experiment, fail and learn? Looking forward to your thoughts on this🙏
