I’ve never hidden the fact that I’m an American in our TPC exchanges. But now I can again be proud and happy about it! Four years ago, I became obsessed with this song, desperate to have back my (i.e., a) man (i.e., real president). Today it happened.

Great song and a great band

It’s so easy to take what we do for granted and when we look to others for help it can be even harder to acknowledge what they can do for us. Change doesn’t happen overnight. Often, Ben, Fiona, or Laura will ask:
‘any WINS?’
To many, this may translate as:
‘have you landed that killer contract yet?’
And perhaps that is your ‘WHY’. Certainly, it’s a goal, but sometimes it’s best to take a step back and reflect on the small wins. Every incremental step you take on your journey, no matter how small, is a win.
Ridiculous and preposterous as it may seem, a small win for me was to cut my hair, take a photo of myself and post myself on LinkedIn. The shame of it all, a man nearing his midlife point, starting at zero.
But that’s the beauty of it; that’s the beauty of being part of the portfolio-collective community. It’s a level playing field. Sure, there may be high flying CEO’s and seasoned professionals who have been there and earnt the t-shirt,…

I love this steven reader, thanks for sharing your very honest insight with the community. I am sure that feeling of ”wins of different sizes”, will resonate with many of our members. Every Thursday the TPC team share their win of the week, this could well be mine

steven reader – Stacking up the small wins is a great outlook and the chance to start at zero is a strong point of view. However, sometimes I prefer to think I am the sum of all my failures, or at least the ones I have learnt from. The projects or jobs that didn’t quite work but have ingrained a lesson-learnt. Build on these in a new direction and combined with the TPC support team – the world is your oyster!

It’s back! After the success of our speed networking event, we’ve decided to bring you another!
This time it’s getting a little more relaxed – in line with the festivities – and now is your chance to mix and mingle over a glass of your favourite tipple (if you wish) with the rest of the community.
Instead of networking 1:1, we’ll be creating small groups for you to mingle in, and celebrate your portfolio careers in!
Sign up here: https://bit.ly/TPCNetwork1220 – we can’t wait to see you there.

Happy for you, your country and the world. Also, big fan of Cindy’s hair in this clip as well as of the perfectly suited use of the glockenspiel!
