How to increase your productivity in one simple step

How to increase your productivity in one simple step

In September, I found myself asking myself a series of questions

I know you’re thinking “Such as?”

Well…

Like: "What is it that makes me the most happy, and how can I incorporate that into my life on more of a daily basis?"

But that was very much at the beginning of the month

I think that anybody who knows me well, knows that I love traveling

Yes, it's because I get to experience different cultures and spend time with the people that I love and eat delicious food and all of that sort of jazz

But I also realise that part of what I love about holidays and traveling, is also the person that I am when I'm on holiday

I know what I'm going to wear on each day, and I'm hyped to wear those things. I know what I'm going to do, I know who I'm going to see

So, not only am I more relaxed, but actually, I am more organised

With this in mind…

In line with that, one of the things that I started to ask myself every day in September (after this realisation) was:

What I'd tell my younger self about PR

What I'd tell my younger self about PR

Last month my dad turned 70

As he dropped me off to the station after his celebration dinner, I asked him 2 questions: "How does it feel to be 70?" and "what advice do you have for younger people?"

Listening to his answers, captured in this video, it was really apparent to me that he was answering this question with his younger self in mind.

This got me thinking about what I would tell my younger self about getting started with PR and I think it would be this:

What Tetris taught me about PR Success

What Tetris taught me about PR Success

One of the things that I like to do to de-stress is play Tetris.

For ages my high score was in the high 6000s and I spent ages trying to beat it until one day I stopped and just went back to playing for pleasure.

A few days ago, I opened up the game to play it again and had to laugh. My new high score was 7032 and I had absolutely no idea when I'd done it!

How networking leads to PR success

How networking leads to PR success

In the last week of August, I had the awesome pleasure of going to Panama with The Christian Travel Club

It was such an amazing experience with a great group of people in an amazing country

Whilst there, I had the opportunity to attend a small mastermind breakfast with Anthony O’neal

In case you’re unfamiliar with him, he’s a former Dave Ramsey personality and host of The Table. He’s also the guy with the mic in the video above.

During the mastermind I witnessed something which was a great reminder of why networking is so important and how, if heeded, could lead to PR opportunities for you too…

How to have a Successful New Year

How to have a Successful New Year

Last week we talked about 3 disempowering life and business beliefs

Remember that, sis?

As we stand at the beginning of a new year, I think it’s important that we discuss how to make it a success

If you’re anything like me, you’ve entered this year with a set of goals and things that you would like to achieve

Here are 4 lessons that we can learn from the widow in 2nd Kings 4:1-7 about how we can do that:

Lessons from Esther on why how you do one thing is how you do everything

Lessons from Esther on why how you do one thing is how you do everything

James 1:23-24 says that the word of God is like a mirror

Because “if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was…”

Walking in purpose, especially if it involves entrepeneurship, is something that also holds a mirror up and reveals what’s on the inside of us

This is something that we see in the life of Esther

Lessons from Jesus' Donkey on How to Dial Down Toxicity in your Life

Lessons from Jesus' Donkey on How to Dial Down Toxicity in your Life

Last week we talked about Jesus’ donkey and what she teaches us about how to overcome the insecurities that keep us from getting more visible

Remember that, sis?

Today, I will give you the practical steps for how to do this

As mentioned in last week’s post, a big part of letting go of insecurity is:

  • Loosing ourselves from other people’s opinion of us

  • Emancipating ourselves from mental slavery (Bob Marley)

Because it all comes down to mindset

Simply put-

Lessons from Zipporah on How to Harness the Law of Reciprocity while Networking

Lessons from Zipporah on How to Harness the Law of Reciprocity while Networking

I hate to burst your bubble, sis, but…

<sigh>

As much as it’s really important to set a firm foundation for your networking and PR efforts by knowing your “why,” no-one else cares about it

#justsaying

“So how do I get other people to care about my mission and vision, Nina?” I hear you say

Well…

It all comes down to knowing how to harness the power of reciprocity

Which is something that is really well demonstrated through Moses and Zipporah’s relationship- as detailed in the video below.
