Episode #11: Snakes, Ladders and Retail.

We all played this game when we were younger. The goal was to get up the ladder and not hit the head of a Snake that would bring us back down to a new starting point.So what does this have to do with #Retail? Well simple enough, alot of us start at the base of the ladder in Retail and unfortunately there are those out there who do not appreciate seeing individual progress (climbing the ladder) that were faster than their’s. Let’s call these types “Snakes”.These Snakes will at all costs try to...

Episode #9: Acting for Managers.

It was back in the late 1990’s on a bus going to a Manager Retreat when the thought came to me, Retail is just another form of ☆ Acting.Who better to appear on a Reality Show than a Retail Manager who is able to STRETCH the truth on almost any opportunity thrown at them.After many years in Retail, I finally realized my one and only weapon, guide, potion is our Job Description. Hold on to that and know it if your life depended on it as it is basically the script of your role.If you: Go of...

Episode #8: I Refuse to be a Statistic.

I refuse to be a statistic and this is why I am thankful today.Everyday.Every Hour.Every Minute.We take life for granted and live under a dome of our own perceived stress.This is how I was living my life until I was asked the following during an interview.“Where do I see myself in 5 years?🙏🙏🏼🙏🏽 If you like what you heard, please feel free to Buy Me a ☕️ Coffee at: www.BuyMeaCoffee.com/CaryBrandes.Thank you 😀.My Renegade Blog: www.RenegadeRetailer.blogHave a PHENOMENAL 🤩 Day.#thatisall

Episode #7: It's Evaluation Time!

👉Are you ready for the Annual Employee Evaluations? Before you start writing it please ask yourself:1. Are the notes I took throughout the year of the individuals wins and opportunities are clear, concise and have input from fellow Managers?2. Did the mid year Evaluation review have an impact on the prior year identified Behaviour?3. Is the date and time of the Evaluation set during a time that is convenient and in an private area so we won’t be disturbed.If you answered *No to any of these q...

Episode #6: BiPolar Cycling.

One of the thrills of being Bi Polar is that you get the highs of highs but alongside the low of lows.I wish I could count the number of times I was euphoric with sleepless nights, countless business ideas, calling friends with incohertent speech, dancing like a tornado and just wondering how I can bottle this power and energy.Unfortunately I could not to which led onto a slow decline of a depression to which I could not move, get up from a sitting position and led me to sleep more than 15 ho...

Episode #5: We have become Retail Pussy...Cats

30+ years in #Retail…. how things have changed.Back then: You called an Employee to come in on their day off, they would be there even if there taxi ride made them lose money…and no Uber wasn’t available.A handshake was the commitment towards getting things done and not having to write a plan.Letting the #Employee know that their performance is below par, you didn’t have to sugar coat it and got straight to the point.If something had to be said it was said in the moment and not 2 days la...

Episode #4: The BiPolar Madness Part

iAnyone who has followed me knows that my life has been a #Retail Journey mixed in with some Madness of being #Bipolar....but I have yet to expose the innerworkings of my mind and what has kept me in this tempest of internal conflict.I hid these symptoms as far back in my daily life and in my career as far I can remember and the struggle was overwhelming on a daily basis trying to push them down just like the Whack a Mole game.Some days were good where the gift of having Manic Episodes (that ...

Episode #3: 165 200 days and Counting if I should continue on.

165,200 days ago this is the furthest I remember asking myself before falling asleep; is it really worth going on another day.Yes, there were influences and indications that there was something wrong that brought me towards this question in my early years and teens, but I have always been a fighter so therefore I am still here to tell the tale.During the 1980’s I was to young to know better or realize that these were not normal thoughts or my behaviours and actions when I look back ties into ...
