February Director’s message
February 3, 2013
Over Christmas I went on a detox. No I didn’t just eat fruit for a week, I detoxed from social media. Hard to believe I know! I travelled throughout Burma where the internet connection is pretty dreadful, so I decided to completely remove myself from social media for over three weeks.
I didn’t even take my phone as there is no international roaming in Burma. Considering I very rarely leave home without my phone, travelling to a country where a plane crashed the day I landed, and the military were bombing their citizens while I was there, not being able to easily phone home was quite daunting.
So did I hate being disconnected? No, I loved it. I didn’t miss social media for a second. But I did enjoy reconnecting after my time away. I think it’s healthy to step away from being constantly connected. I’m even considering having a social media free day (on a weekend) this year. I’ll let you know how that goes!
How is 2013 looking for you? I’m big on actively creating my own destiny, and my agency’s destiny.
We took time out in January to create our vision for this year, and also set personal career and agency goals. To set the scene, we got a bit wet first! The team went stand up paddle boarding on a lovely Sydney morning, which was so much fun (see picture below)!
We then came back to the office and talked about what this year will look like and what words will describe this year.
The outcome was our amazing vision board. It gives me goose bumps looking at it. With such an extraordinary vision, team, client relationships and services – it’s going to be an amazing 2013.
