    Key achievements:
    • Launch of Mind By Design collection
    In November 2022, LH Agenda launched its highly anticipated Mind By Design collection. This collection comprises journals, notebooks, and planners designed to help customers cultivate a strong and healthy mind, mirroring their approach to training their bodies. Through carefully crafted content such as prompts, lessons, research, and quotes, we aim to promote resilience and mental well-being by encouraging positive habit formation and daily practice.
    The Mind By Design collection was a major undertaking, requiring more than three years of meticulous planning and collaboration with renowned experts in the fields of mental health and wellness. 
    By achieving our goal of launching the collection, we have taken a significant step towards our broader business objective of empowering our customers in various spheres of life, whether in corporate settings, as entrepreneurs, or within their families and communities. We firmly believe that a strong and healthy mind is essential for individuals to reach their full potential. We are excited to see the positive impact it has on our customers' mental health and overall well-being.
    • Finalist Hunter Region Business Excellence Awards in 2023
    LH Agenda was a finalist in the Hunter Region Business Excellence Awards in 2023. This award recognizes businesses that have demonstrated excellence in areas such as leadership, innovation, and customer service. We are honored to have been recognized for our achievements, and we are committed to continuing to provide our customers with the highest quality products and services.
  5. If you are providing written answers for your submission, you must provide an answer to this third question: Explain why the achievements you have highlighted are unique or significant. If possible compare the achievements to the performance of other players in your industry and/or to the organization's past performance (up to 250 words):

    Total 248 words used.

    LH Agenda's achievements are unique and significant because they demonstrate the company's commitment to providing high-quality products that make a positive impact on the lives of its customers.

    The Mind By Design collection is the first collection of its kind in the stationery industry to focus on mental health and well-being. It was created in collaboration with experts in the fields of mental health and wellness. Other stationery brands may offer products that promote mindfulness, but the Mind By Design collection is a comprehensive toolkit designed to help customers cultivate a strong and healthy mind. 

    The collection includes both coaching tools like Thrive Mind Designer, as well as journals geared towards specific solutions (Worry Be Gone for dealing with stress and anxiety, Meet Yourself journal for increasing self-awareness). The collection also includes everyday planners and notebooks that include prompts, quotes, and mini-lessons to help create positive habits and a resilient mindset in everyday life. This makes it a valuable resource for anyone looking to improve their mental health and well-being.

    The Mind By Design collection is also significant because it represents a major shift in the company's focus. In the past, we focused on leadership and career development. However, the company recognized the increasing prevalence of mental health issues worldwide, and it decided to create a collection of products that would help customers cultivate a strong and healthy mind. The collection has been a success, and it has helped LH Agenda to reach a new audience of customers.

    I just wanted to share a massive THANK YOU to your amazing team! 

    I recently bought the Blissful State of Mind Journal and have loved the impact it has had on not only improving my overall organisation needs, but the beautiful layout which inspires me to use this journal on a daily basis. I LOVE everything about this journal and have received many compliments on how aesthetically pleasing it is - the fonts, inspiring / reflecting quotes and dotted page layout. I cannot wait to experiment with more of your products and thank you for producing such helpful and beautiful material which really stands apart from other products I have used before! I cannot wait to see what other beautiful products you continue to bring out!

    Thank you for reading!
