The Importance of Recognizing How Far We've Come

It's important to recognize how much we have accomplished and milestones along the way in our leadership journey. Today I am celebrating episode 250 with a special guest, Mark Peter Notaras.  We discuss some recent achievements we have both accomplished, and the importance of recognizing how far we have come. Mark Peter Notaras was on episode 7 and now is back to share the handover of the Timor-Leste Food Lab and its flagship restaurant Agora Food Studio to a local team.   In this episode Mark and I discuss why celebrating is not arrogance but part of maintaining wellbeing, and the type of leader he has had to be in order to step back and allow his team to do things their own way which has resulted in a stronger, more independent team. On 1st April 2023, after a seven year journey since 2016, Mark and his co-founder Alva K. Lim handed over their social enterprise to five young Timorese entrepreneurs. Cesaltina Tilman, Paula Torres, Kelo Araujo, Ana Da Costa and Eulalia Araujo will open their first enterprise in a new location in Timor-Leste's capital Dili in the coming months.  As mentioned if you'd like to support Agora Timor Leste Team during their transition period, please donate here.
