I'm feeling relief as this is the 1st Memorial Day weekend in 10 years that I'm not responsible for Kroger's patty supply. Thanksgiving is the big holiday for most Category Managers but my team's time to shine was Memorial Day & July 4th. Running a supply chain with only 18 days of shelf life limits inventory availability but we managed to thrive and grow sales on patties especially 10 for $10 for 10 straight years. The most memorable Memorial Day holiday was the first (only 3 months in role). Our shelf life was only 11 days at that time and we projected our demand would exceed capacity in our mid-west divisions. Sure enough, we needed double what we could make. I was working with our suppliers to triage orders for 4 straight days to maximize the production. We had 6 weeks until the July 4 holiday so we had to learn and adapt quickly. We projected orders further out, created an A/B schedule to limit changeovers, and used excess capacity to offset in other regions. I love working in perishables because you don't have time to wallow on mistakes. You have to react, learn, and adapt to be successful for the long term because the clock is always ticking. Have a great grilling weekend! #groceryretail #processimprovement #cpg

🌟 **Motivational Monday Reminder! 🌟** Hey there, champions! It's time to kick off another incredible week with a burst of motivation and a dash of determination! 💪 Today, I want to chat about something that's crucial for achieving our biggest dreams and goals: tackling the tough stuff head-on! 🚀 Let's face it, folks, the path to success isn't always paved with rose petals and rainbows. Sometimes, it's a rocky road filled with challenges, obstacles, and those dreaded "hard things" we'd rather avoid. But guess what? **You've got what it takes to conquer them all!** Think about it: Every big accomplishment, every major breakthrough, started with someone, just like you, deciding to roll up their sleeves and tackle the hard stuff. They didn't let fear or uncertainty hold them back. They pushed through the discomfort, embraced the grind, and emerged stronger and more resilient on the other side. So, what's holding you back from taking on those tough tasks? Is it fear of failure? Doubt in your abilities? Or maybe just a little case of procrastination? Whatever it is, it's time to kick it to the curb and step into your power! Here's your game plan for the week ahead: 1. **Break it Down:** Take those big, scary tasks and break them down into smaller, more manageable steps. Trust me, it's much easier to tackle a series of mini-challenges than one giant mountain. 2. **Stay Positive:** Keep that positive mindset locked and loaded! Believe in yourself and your abilities, and remember that every obstacle is just an opportunity for growth. 3. **Take Action:** Stop waiting for the "perfect" moment because it may never come. Seize the day and take action now! Even small steps forward are progress. 4. **Celebrate Progress:** Don't forget to celebrate every win, no matter how small. Each step forward is a victory on your journey to success! Remember, my friends, you are capable of achieving anything you set your mind to. So, this week, let's roll up our sleeves, face those hard things head-on, and show the world what we're made of! 💥 You've got this! 💫 #MotivationalMonday #YouGotThis #GoGetter

As you are advancing through your career and moving up the ladder, it is often OK to let your ego somewhat drive the train. You do want to stand out, you do want to be the best at what you do. But once you obtain a leadership role, to be truly successful, you must learn to allow your ego take a backseat. It’s no longer about being the best at everything, in every aspect of the business. You need to understand if you want to be a successful leader, it means putting your trust in others. It means allowing others to be smarter than you in certain areas. if you don’t do this, you will quickly find yourself burnt out and easy to anger. #linkedin #leadership #management #personaldevelopment #ego

Reframe Nervous 😟 as Excitement!!! 😃 My kid just attended a D1 college showcase. D1 is a reach, so the imposter syndrome was real. In business, just like in sports, our self talk makes a BIG difference. Nervousness can show up in difficult conversations with peers as easily as with executive leaders. I know it's happening for me when I find myself speaking slower, quietly, or when my mouth gets dry. 😳 So odd how nervousness can be situational. Good news! It can be detected and addressed in the moment. Here's some guidance... 1. Know your triggers, and learn to detect them in real time. Pay attention to when you feel imposter syndrome, nervous, or anxious, and WRITE IT DOWN. Even if there is no time now, you can revisit the thoughts later and come up with a plan. 2. Plan for and practice "reframing" your self talk as excitement, ahead of possible stressful interactions. Note: plan does not mean ruminate. Planning is good. Ruminating keeps you from enjoying life. 3. Practice IRL (in real life). Find professionally-safe situations to practice excitement reframing live and in the moment. This sort of exposure therapy will help build nueropathways that make this new habit part of who you are, not just what you do! My kid did great at the showcase, BTW. Who knows if she’ll go D1, but she absolutely performed well and with a clear head. Want to learn more?
