✨ Adaptability is Longevity! ✨ Speaking with Edouard Roger-Vasselin about his great 20th year on the tour (see results below ⬇️) we talked about adaptability as the key to lasting performance. True in tennis,True at work. A few key insights to enable adaptability 💡 Surround yourself with a stable, reliable, trustworthy team. They are the most important. Trust them ... and work everyday to win their trust. Create moments off/on court/job to get to know each other really well. 💡Set new big ambitious objectives when things change, and make sure your short term ones build the long term performance. 💡 Cultivate a positive attitude for yourself and for your team, especially when things go wrong. Empathy is key there. 💡 Cherish the "recovery" time. Resist the crunch of hyper-doing.

3 key takeways from my discussion with Charlie Vickery, Managing director of Haeckels, on radical innovation and making beauty really positive. 1️⃣ Work with nature: 🌍🌿 There is incredible potential in embracing the power of nature. By harnessing its gifts for their intended purposes, we can foster a more holistic and respectful approach to creativity. By aligning our production chains with local ecosystems, we not only create a unique product story, but we also combat the harmful standardization of beauty products. Let's unlock the beauty secrets nature holds and nurture a more sustainable path forward. 2️⃣ Learn from failure: 💪🏆 Actually if you don't fail, you don't push the boundaries enough. Successful disruptors are those who embrace failure as an opportunity for growth. By learning from our mistakes, we gain invaluable insights and appreciation for the highs and lows of our journey. Let's embrace change, reinvent ourselves, and forge a sustainable beauty landscape built on resilience and innovation. 3️⃣ Turn anger into passion: ❤️‍🔥 As leaders in the beauty industry, we are not immune to frustrations and concerns about the world around us. By channeling our anger and dissatisfaction, we can unearth our true purpose on this earth. Ask yourself: What infuriates me? What do I find absurd in our world today? By transforming this frustration into fuel, we can invest ourselves in causes and initiatives that align with our values. Let's be passionate advocates for positive change, driving transformation within our industry and beyond. Together, as leaders in the beauty industry, we have the power to make a meaningful difference. By embracing these three keys to sustainable success, we can shape a future where beauty and sustainability walk hand in hand. Let's be catalysts for change and create a legacy that transcends beauty trends—one that leaves a lasting positive impact on our planet and society. Let's go? 💪🔥

Can AI make us more empathetic?   If you are one of the 80% of leaders who think that empathy makes you weak and that you don't have time, think again. Empathy might be the most crucial skill in today's business world to drive engagement (among employees and consumers), foster innovation, and enable true diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Not only does empathy make us better humans, but it also makes us better leaders.  During a recent discussion with @MinterDial about his great book #heartificialempathy, I realised that AI could help us become more human and empathetic. • AI can help us augment our cognitive empathy by accelerating our knowledge about people's culture and context. • The process of encoding AI with empathy grows us as humans because we need to decode and deepen the science of empathy. • The rise of machines invites us to grow our humanity as a superior skill.   Here are a few notes from the conversation 1. Don't confuse empathy with kindness and compassion. Empathy is about understanding the people around us and our impact on them. 2. Make human impact part of your strategy. It must be real and genuinely aligned with values and business intention. 3. Empathy requires curiosity and being present and freeing ourselves from our own biases. 4. Empathy starts with self-empathy: being real, allowing emotions and imperfections. #empathy  #people #csr #ceo #heartificial  #empathetic #leadership #coding #winningbetter #AI #artificialintelligence #BeautyIndustry #FashionIndustry #CSR #CorporateSocialResponsibility #Sustainability #Innovation #DiversityandInclusion #EmployeeEngagement #ConsumerEngagement

"TO BE REGENERATIVE IS TO BE POSITIVE, IN 4D!" Such an inspiring vision from Marcelo Behar, Vice President of Sustainability at Natura &Co. Leaders need to design their strategy and monitor business value creation on the triple bottom line: planet, people and profit, as One metric, in order to survive the next 50 years. The new generation will increasingly become employee, citizens, consumers, and investors  of sustainable businesses. Embracing circularity and regeneration is paramount. And to be regenerative you must be positive on 4 dimensions simultaneously: nature, carbon, social and financial. For example, Natura has created a technique with Agro forestry to turn palm oil into a regenerative practice benefiting all. The top 3 challenges to embark on this virtuous model are: 1. Complexity. Sustainability should not be another layer of complexity or acronyms but a simple strategy across the business. A conscious awareness of what we take away from nature when manufacturing, retailing, or using something, and a personal will to make smarter choices. 2. Building trust. Staying away from greenwashing by choosing common metrics and getting 3rd party verification like B.Corp. 3. Enabling dialogue between public and private sectors. Connecting where you want to be and who you want to be with in the scientific, Business, NGos, communities to build regenerative and circular solutions together. 🎧 listen to the full episode 🔎 https://tnfd.global/ , https://www.cbd.int/conferences/geneva-2022, https://www.businessfornature.org/ 🎬 https://join.waterbear.com/
