We had the good fortune of connecting with Priscilla Schonacher and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Priscilla, do you have any habits that you feel contribute to your effectiveness?
During my journey to success, I have cultivated several habits that have played a significant role in my achievements. These habits have not only helped me in my personal growth but also in my professional endeavors. Here are some of the key habits that I believe have contributed to my success:

1. Continuous Learning: I have always had a thirst for knowledge and a passion for learning. I make it a habit to constantly seek out new information, stay updated with the latest industry trends, and expand my skill set. This habit has allowed me to adapt quickly to changing circumstances, acquire new perspectives, and bring innovative ideas to the table.

2. Time Management: Effective time management is crucial in maximizing productivity and achieving success. I prioritize tasks, create to-do lists, and set deadlines to ensure that I make the most of my time. Additionally, I avoid procrastination and practice discipline to maintain a consistent work routine. By managing my time efficiently, I am able to accomplish more and meet deadlines effectively.

3. Networking and Relationship Building: Building strong professional relationships and expanding my network has been a habit that has opened doors to new opportunities. I actively engage with colleagues, industry professionals, and mentors to learn from their experiences, seek advice, and collaborate on projects. This habit has helped me gain valuable insights, access new resources, and establish a supportive professional network.

4. Incentives to Grow within the Company: I believe in creating a work environment that encourages personal and professional growth. As a leader, I have made it a habit to identify the strengths and aspirations of my team members and provide them with opportunities to develop and advance within the company. By offering incentives such as training programs, mentorship opportunities, and career advancement prospects, I foster a culture of continuous improvement and motivation.

5. Openness and Transparency: I firmly believe in being open and transparent about how the company operates. This includes sharing relevant information about the company’s goals, strategies, and decision-making processes with the team. By fostering a culture of transparency, I promote trust, enhance collaboration, and empower employees to contribute their ideas and insights. This habit creates a sense of ownership and alignment within the organization.

6. Encouraging and Empowering Others: As a leader, I make it a habit to encourage and empower my team members. I provide constructive feedback, recognize their achievements, and create a supportive environment where everyone feels valued and motivated. By fostering a positive and inclusive workplace culture, I inspire my team members to excel and contribute their best efforts.

7. Delegating Tasks: To ensure efficient scaling of the company, I have developed a habit of delegating tasks that I used to handle. By entrusting capable team members with responsibilities and providing them with the necessary authority and resources, I free up my time to focus on strategic initiatives and scaling the company. This habit not only helps in leveraging the skills and expertise of my team but also fosters their professional growth and development.

These are some of the habits that have contributed to my success thus far. By continually honing these habits and embracing new ones, I aim to achieve even greater milestones in the future.

Getting to where I am today professionally was not an easy journey. Like any path to success, it had its fair share of challenges. However, I firmly believe that challenges are opportunities for growth. I overcame these obstacles by staying determined, resilient, and refusing to give up. Surrounding myself with a supportive team has been instrumental in navigating through difficult times. They have been there to uplift me when life becomes tough or challenging, and I am incredibly proud of the cohesive and dedicated team that surrounds me.

Throughout my journey, I have learned valuable lessons. I have come to understand the importance of nurturing relationships, being kind, and continually learning. I believe in approaching each day with fresh eyes and an open mind, always seeking new knowledge and perspectives. Above all, being supportive and understanding towards the people in your life is crucial. We should show up to the best of our ability, even when faced with adversity.

In terms of my brand and story, I want the world to know that there is more to life than just work. While our professional endeavors are important, our relationships and connections with others hold significant value. Hype Entertainment embodies this philosophy by creating a community that goes beyond the performing arts. We encourage individuals to cultivate meaningful friendships, support one another, and never stop learning.

Nurture those relationships, be kind, keep learning, maintain fresh eyes, and above all, be supportive and understanding towards the people in your life.
