Macquarie Business School’s Post

On this 22nd anniversary of 9/11, please take a moment to think about all the souls lost that day. And then think about the resilience this country, and especially the city of New York, showed in the weeks, months and years that followed. I started these awards to shine a light on good people. So, let's open up the nominations once again. Every Friday, I’ll share nominations for people who have been identified as nice guys (and gals). If you want to nominate someone, just shoot me a private message by 5:00 EDT on Thursday. There are only 3 requirements: 1) you have to be connected to the person you nominate 2) you can only nominate one person per week 3) you can’t nominate yourself 😀   If you want to provide a brief reason for your selection, that’s great, but it’s not a requirement. Let’s recognize people who make a difference simply by being nice. Have a great day, everyone. Enjoy this performance from the Concert for NYC. As Keefe says, "You know, I got a feeling this town's gonna make it." https://lnkd.in/eiKGPqQe   #network #sportsbiz #people #niceguy #networking #sportsmarketing

In today’s rapidly changing business environment, partnership between universities and industry are key to ensure that graduates are equipped with the right skills (and meta skills) to succeed. Looking forward to discussing this with fellow panellists at #QBSLaunch. #FinTrU

Sounds very interesting and worthwhile. I agree the right culture is key to the delivery of results and better outcomes

Project of a lifetime. Lesson learned: if you don’t know what to do just write the damn thing. Then write it again. And again. And again. Keep writing while you’re shooting it. Write it while you’re editing it. Write it after it’s out in the world. Write it while you’re writing your Cannes submissions. Just write it.

Honoring Black History Month 🖤Inspired by JAY Z's powerful Grammy acceptance speech, I'm reminded of the resilience within our community. From unequal opportunities to systemic biases, underrepresented individuals face challenges across industries—getting overlooked for promotions and roles, not receiving accolades, even with stolen ideas that they then pass as their own. Jay's words echo the importance of showing up and staying encouraged, even when their actions and words try to tell you that you're not worthy. Keep showing up until they get it right! We love you. We just want you to get it right. It wasn't until witnessing his speech that I found the words I wanted to share this Black History Month. To my fellow trailblazers, keep pushing, keep striving – whether it's navigating unequal access, combatting stereotypes, or overcoming the hurdles of being overlooked. Your voice matters, your dreams are valid. Let Jay's success be a testament to the strength that lies within us. In every endeavor, from music to business, we navigate uncharted territories. So, to my community, stay up, stay resilient, and keep breaking barriers. Your journey is part of the rich tapestry of Black history, of American history, of world history, and your success is a beacon of hope for the generations to come. 🌟 (the opinions expressed within the content are solely the author’s and do not reflect the opinions and beliefs of any organization that I may be associated with) #BlackHistoryMonth #StayEncouraged #RepresentationMatters #Inspiration #InSolidarity https://lnkd.in/eQRE7eMD

This report is a really interesting, useful read and full of some great recommendations for how to diversify your board. The summary of the findings being: - Increased awareness of systemic racism - Sector supported to access expertise, good practice and training in inclusive board recruitment - Higher profile of lack of board diversity - Making governance more visible and appealing - Increasing the pool by nurturing and growing a pipeline of potential trustees - Data on current board diversity (for individual organisations and the wider sector) - Access to training and expertise on inclusive governance - Collaborating with others to influence this agenda - Using grant making levers - Support to change constitutions #diversify #museums #boardmembers #heritage

Lessons from Jackie Chan: Perseverance and Passion I’ve loved Jackie Chan’s movies - especially the unique blend of comedy, drama, and action - like the Rush Hour series or even Karate Kid.   But beyond his on-screen prowess, what endeared him, is his humility and his perseverance. Picture this: a young Jackie Chan, filled with dreams of becoming a martial arts superstar. He faced countless rejections, injuries, and setbacks. But instead of giving up, he embraced every challenge with unwavering determination. It takes a lot of strength, to stay 56 years, and act in over 200 movies, and yet have your eyes on the goal! Here are some valuable lessons we can learn from Jackie Chan's incredible journey: 🌟Find your North Star Discover what that excites you, that would keep you going when the going gets tough 🌍“Do not let circumstances control you. You change your circumstances”  We’ll face ups and downs, and realising that we are not just limited by those conditions can help us rise above it. 🤗Embrace your Fears  Fear isn't always bad. It’s an emotion to help us be alert and prepared for danger. It helps us understand when we are moving past our comfort zone.  Like Jackie Chan said: “A lot of people ask me when I do a stunt, 'Jackie, are you scared?' Of course I'm scared. I'm not Superman”. Use your fears as fuel to push beyond your comfort zone. 🧑🤝🧑You are not alone  Your friends, family, and circle of trust are your pillars of strength. Just like Jackie Chan found his inspiration while at Sylvester Stallone’s house, your circle of trust can inspire you, hold you up when you are down, motivate you and be there for you through thick and thin. Jackie Chan's story reminds me that true greatness can be seen when we look deep within. Sometimes the fruits may come much later. But by embracing our passions, overcoming challenges with unwavering resolve, and surrounding ourselves with people who care, we too can achieve extraordinary things. To more folks like him, who inspire us to keep us going! #Motivation #WhatInspiresMe #LeadershipLessons
