Working with words

Super sub was called into action again today. On Thursday, I was asked if I could fill in and be part of a panel at the UEA about PR & Comms. It was part of an annual event called ‘Working With Words’.

It was an easy yes if I’m honest. Anyone who knows me, knows I love words. And I love the career I’ve created around them. So to be able to talk to the next generation of potential ‘Pip’s’ was wonderful.

Hopefully I inspired them. As well as giving them an honest appraisal of the role. It’s not all glamour and glitz. It’s hard graft. But so rewarding.

Jack of all trades

I went to a networking event this morning. It was lovely being back meeting people in person again.

I got chatting to a lovely lady. And we both confessed to being a jack of all trades.

This is something that has definitely strengthened my career. It’s given me lots of opportunities to try new things and learn new skills.

I must admit, I had always been made to feel like it was a bad thing. That I should stick to one thing. Then I heard the full quote. Boy that was a lightbulb moment!! It was for her when I told her too.

So here’s to all the generalists, the multi-skilled and the jacks of all trades.

I love the variety of my working day. And my life in general. I’d be very bored if it was the same every day.
