Nikou Mohajerani Gives Back

Nikou Mohajerani has always been committed to being a socially responsible individual and as such has made it a priority to build philanthropy into her daily routine as well as into her business. On the personal side, Nikou has been involved in several non-profit endeavors through the years by volunteering her time and making personal donations.

Nikou volunteers with at risk youth as a mentor through high schools and community centers in her community. By advocating for them, setting a good example, and encouraging them to reach for excellence and stability, Nikou has changed the lives of many young people. This is one of the organizations closest to her heart because she believes in the potential of our younger generations. They will be the advocates of diversity, equality, and environmental awareness.

Nikou is also an active volunteer in a local convalescent home. She visits the residents, spends time hearing their stories, and supports them by being a reliable friend.

Perhaps the most important cause to Nikou is the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. She explained why this particular charitable cause is so close to her heart, “My father died of lymphoma and so I know firsthand the pain this kind of disease can cause people. A lot of other families have experienced the same loss. I want to save people that heartache and stress by giving back to the research for a cure.”

Her passion for this cause extends beyond her personal life. Nikou Mohajerani encourages her team at The Vantage Co to get involved as well, and has arranged for the group to raise funds to support cancer research. On one occasion, the team sold pink socks at a popular theme park to raise funds for cancer research. At a second event in Miami, her team raised $5,000 to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society by selling beaded necklaces with the logos and colors of the home team at a football game.

Nikou Mohajerani’s Take on the Importance of Time Management

As a leader of a successful promotions firm, Nikou Mohajerani knows what it’s like to coordinate a busy office. After all, when you coach several executives while managing important client projects, you have to stay organized and focused to succeed. Nikou talked about the importance of time management and the importance of mastering the skill:

Maximize Limited Time: Time is short and that means you need to make the most of what you have.

Make Better Decisions: Disorganization leads to frazzled feelings, which leads to poor decision making. By staying organized with time management, you can make more strategic decisions.

Accomplish More with Less: When you manage your time well, you can accomplish more even in a short span of time. Staying focused and working on the task at hand are crucial.

Higher Quality: It’s hard to produce work of a high quality when you’re scrambling at the last minute to get things done because your schedule has gotten away from you. Better time management means better work results.

To help her team maximize their time, Nikou encourages them to use tools such as Google calendar, text reminders, and even a physical agenda. She says, “I plan every day in 15 minute increments all the way through till Sunday so I always make sure to hit my goals.”

Nikou also encourages her executives to host a five to 10 minute goal meeting every day to hold each other accountable. With this kind of focus on time efficiency, its no surprise her team is so proficient at maintaining maximum efficiency.
