Are you the office celeb?

Apparently, there are people bagging awards for ‘best in ambassador’ in these corporate streets

Oct 27, 2024

Hello Buddy,

Yes, they taught me in secondary school that culture is the way of life, but you know what they didn’t tell me? That one day, I’d have to create culture at some point in my life. Small me?

Hear me out.

I was randomly scrolling through my favorite blogs on the interwebs this week when I found out that some people are collecting the award for best in ambassador on these corporate streets.

Let me introduce you to the culture carriers.

Who are the culture carriers?

Basically, they’re like the popular jingos of the office. Yeah, the star boys and star girls of the office – they're the ones I’m talking about today.

These guys?

They set the vibe: Always bringing the right energy, they make even the dullest meetings bearable. You just know it’s a good day when they’re around.
First to share the tea: From new office policies to where the fun is happening after hours, these are your insiders for all the tea.
Morale boosters: Project deadline? Stress levels at peak? Culture carriers are the ones who will rally the team or organize a group amala date. They’ve got everyone’s back!
Best in connections: They know everyone and can introduce you to that person in another department who has the exact skills you need to solve your latest issue.
Always game for a laugh: Light-hearted and the first to drop a meme, joke, or playful remark that keeps things from getting too serious.
Always ahead of things: If there’s a new tool or trend that could save the team time, they’re already testing it out and are always sooo happy to share tips
New rice & beans spot that just opened close to the office? They’ll definitely be there! 😂

In a nutshell;

Culture carriers are always willing to explore new ways of working, sharing feedback that can impact everyone.

And one thing I learnt from this article is:

Being the culture carrier helps you stand out, build strong connections in the office, and makes you the go-to person that people trust, and in the long run? It opens up more chances for growth and recognition.

So on that note, I want to know 👇🏾

Speaking of culture carriers, here’s an opportunity to be one, but not just in the office — everywhere you go

When Is The Right Time To Walk Away?

You know how you stick with a job just because it’ll get you through a particular season of your life, but then it drags on, and burnout starts to creep in?

That’s exactly how it went for this babe! She started out balancing tight budgets and heavy workloads thinking it was temporary but as the cases piled up, so did the stress, and gradually — “just one more year” turned to “who sent me?”

Now, when is the right time to finally walk away?
