We the TOLL COE 2 CNY Committee are signing of now!!!😁 Firstly, thanking our manager En. Roslan for believing in us that we would be able to manage this event and giving us this opportunity to handle it which taught us many valuable lessons along the way . Nothing is impossible, every is possible once we embark on the journey to solve it. We were a part of purchasing team. Our challenges that we faced were: 1. We had to innovate new ways to decorate our office without nailing or altering the building as per our leasing terms and since we had only procurred the tightest budget in our lives of only Rm150 YouTube became our master to D.I.Y our own props and scout many shops to stretch our budget to enable us to buy major props for the price of a dime🤣 2. We wore the event management Cap of responsibility to adjust, confirm and curate a floor plan in areas of meal allocation to prepare sufficient meals for everyone to prevent any sour experiences🤩🤩to order the meals for CNY Celebration. We were kinda of worried a little for the last minute requests but we succeeded in managing everything perfectly🥳🥳 The learning and teachings we gathered through this journey was; 1. Critical Thinking and Creativite thinking 2. Manage the teams at our workplace as we are employees first and managing the expenses definitely polished our bargaining skills😎 3. Learn how to apply controlling and forecasting skills in real life through our practice of cash flow for gifts, meals, decoration, game prizes and tools 4. Build a good relationship with other departments or teams as we had not known them before this. 5. But the best part of all of this was the support, courage, and warmth we had received from our teammates who are more of friends than our teammates at this stage. Lastly everyone including higher level managers were reminded of their childhood and the laughter, joy and happiness we shared definitely we can’t forget forever Our sincerest apologies for any aspects during CNY celebration today that not meet expectations. Signing off now with success and victory, take everyone and once again GONG XI FA CAI 🧧 #tollgroup #cny2024 #CoEPenang

I know from experience how important it is to empower talents to pursue their own unique #career path, especially for talents from underrpresented groups. The more I'm excited to share our collaboration with ADAN Careers in Germany, as we take the next step on Deutsche Bank’s journey to create a diverse, equitable, and inclusive work environment for all talents. Our partnership with ADAN (Afro Diasporisches Akademisches Netzwerk) will help us increase our visibility as an employer among #BPoC (Black and People of Color) talents and encourage diverse talents to drive their careers with Deutsche Bank. At Deutsche Bank, we believe it's important not just to talk about people, but to involve them. That's why we've established our Employee Resource Groups, including dbENRICH and our internal Black Leadership Forum, to provide a platform for colleagues to network and contribute to a diverse corporate culture. To learn more about our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, have a look at the comments👇 What else does it take to drive inclusive culture? #Diversity #Equity #Inclusion #TeamDB

What an incredible evening at the Thunder Business Networking and Collaboration Night! Derek Caswell, Senior VP of Marketing at MidFirst Bank, Will Syring, VP of Corporate Partnerships with the Thunder, and Rick Jones, Owner of Post Oak Toyota, shared invaluable insights on creating and sustaining an A+ sales and service environment. Here are some key takeaways: Employee Motivation: Age, particularly among Gen X and Boomers, plays a significant role. Providing experiences that allow employees to showcase their expertise is crucial. Understanding individual needs and fostering a servant heart mentality are also key. Company Goals: Creating a workplace where employees want to stay is essential. This includes focusing on cultivating a culture that supports the company and employee goals. Managing Younger Sales and Service: Motivating younger employees, who may not be driven solely by monetary incentives, requires a different approach. Emphasizing problem-solving skills and setting group goals can be effective. Bonus: I won an autographed picture of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander from the Thunder! The Thunder's victory against the Clippers added to the excitement of the evening. What a fantastic event overall! Additionally, the Thunder's celebration of the Chinese New Year with the Asian Chamber of Commerce was a beautiful and enlightening experience. It was a great opportunity to learn about and celebrate this important cultural event. #SalesAndService #EmployeeMotivation #CompanyCulture #ThunderFamily #ChineseNewYearCelebration

I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to moderate an authentic, fun and insightful conversation on life as a black engineer at Goldman Sachs. The conversation was streamed at Black Tech Fest which is the most diverse tech conference in Europe and hosts roughly 6,000 guests across 3 days. The full video can be found here: https://lnkd.in/ebptWXbX It really does feel like yesterday when I walked through the doors of the firm in my shiny suit and tie as an intern… filled with many emotions - joy, nerves but mainly doubt. Doubt with regards to my ability and whether I belonged at such a prestigious firm given my background. Fast forward 8 years since that first day… the doubt that was once within me has not been seen again and never will be. Thankful to all of my colleagues & mentors who have been a part of my journey so far. But most importantly, I’m super grateful for the Black Engineers network at the firm. The amount of growth in the number of black engineers at the firm over the years has been incredible. As a network, we’re breaking barriers and have achieved so much through internal and external initiatives. Best thing about being an active member within the network is knowing that there is a lot more to come. Really looking forward to what’s next! #careers #growth #tech #diversity
