On Wednesday 11 September, we invited to an Award Celebration & Thank You Party in our office, to finally celebrate the award wins and to thank everybody involved in our journey. The official celebration of the Microsoft award was in Las Vegas in July, but our CEO did not feel that it was right to celebrate without all the people that made our success possible.
There’s no denying that winning awards bring some benefits; recognition on an international stage, news coverage, increased brand awareness and perhaps a competitive advantage. But just because you’ve won some awards does not mean life is about to get easy – your Ninja Warrior journey is far from over.

The corporate world is not so different from the world of Westeros. Whether you’re pro Lannister or Dothraki, backing the Iron Fleet or fighting for the North, or even Team White Walkers, one thing each group has in common is the fact they are all united under one leader. What is the leadership lessons we can learn from GoT?
Our reasons for participating at the HBF Run for a Reason this year could maybe not even be counted on one hand. There are many reasons why we wanted to participate. Our own personal health was of course one of them, and Team Illuminance was signed up for the Blackmore’s 12 km run on this crisp Sunday morning in Perth WA.
“Someone once said that you can’t give to others what you yourself don’t possess. I feel that if you are in a fortunate position where you have achieved something for yourself, you have a responsibility to pass that on top others and help others achieve the same.”

The hiring process is like a box of chocolates – you never know what you’re going to get. But when resumes start coming in, it is easy to stick to what they know and pick your favourites.
