I’ll just say it… I love food retail. I was speaking today to a women’s leadership group this morning about my journey, and it hit me. The speech was about personal branding, but selling and promoting food IS part of my brand. I was talking about: -how I think about branding new product -how to bring value to the customer -how to tie in adjacent products I get fired up when I talk about food, operations and marketing. I realized that when a CPG or retailer is brilliant, they truly understand how to deliver a great product that people love. My mission is to help more people experience the joy of different foods. How can I help your brand shine? #customerexperience #food #retail #marketing #customerservice #bebrilliant

Mommy. Mom. Bruh. Or the latest one: "My guy" All names I get called, and answer to all. Mother's Day can be a day of joy, reflection, relaxation or… Or, just an ordinary day. However you celebrate Mother's Day... Make it #brilliant ✨

Technology can be before its time. I remember working on Scan and Go back in 2006. You know the one... - Scanners are available on a wall when you enter the store - Scan your card - Scan your groceries and weigh your items - Go to checkout The trouble was that nobody wanted to do this. It was: - too cumbersome - time-consuming - Items didn't scan The project was abandoned. Fast forward to today, when I went to @walmart and was in and out of the store in 8 minutes using Scan and Go with Walmart+ The difference? - Connected to your phone - Intuitive scanning - Connected to self-checkout Sometimes, ideas are just ahead of their time. The technology and operations needed to catch up to make them successful. The reminder is: if something isn't working quite right, don't give up on it. It just might be before its time.

Personality assessments are a popular way to get teams engaging with each other. Understanding communication skills, conflict tendencies and strengths are ways to reduce miscommunications amongst teams. Do you think that this is an effective tool for team building?

Like attracts like. When you surround yourself with people who: -are genuine -are passionate -align with your values Something magical happens in the workplace. Working as a team doesn't require everyone to be the same, but it does require everyone to step up to the same playing field. And the outcomes can #bebrilliant -people are engaged -people feel valued -people do their best work Now that's a #BrilliantWorkplace
