Back
I''m working on one of the biggest marketing strategies I''ve ever done at the moment, and it''s really making me think back to how far I''ve come - and I have to admit, it''s kind of a cool thing to do. A lot of the time, I have so many to dos, projects, goals etc that once something is done, I tend to just focus on what''s next - rather than taking the time to reflect on what I''ve achieved that day, week, year, whatever.
Back in my uni days - before I even had my first marketing job - I really believed in networking. I''m not a people person, but I do like hearing people''s stories. Finding out what they do, why they do it, what they love/hate about their work and so on. This led me to networking events, and I''m generally not too bad at striking up a conversation with pretty much anyone - so I would get involved in all these high level conversations where I knew next to nothing. I didn''t feel bad or anything, I was just starting out and it was so interesting hearing people talk about strategy, our economy, trends, community and all the rest of it.
Fast forward to a couple of years ago, when I was buying Out of the Blue from Kylie Porter, and I still had that feeling. Kylie''s knowledge about business and our community etc, and her ability to recall a seemingly endless amount of facts, always makes me feel like a bit of a newbie in comparison. I can''t help but look up to her and what she does for our region.
Anyway, the point I''m getting to is - this week I proofed a GW3 strategic document and today I''m writing a marketing strategy for an extremely significant project that has global impacts for our region, and I get it. I''m writing and reading about things that I think even a couple of years ago would have been totally beyond me to understand all the little pieces - let alone pull them together and develop them further.
There''s sooooo much I don''t know, but today I just found myself a bit surprised to recognise where I''ve personally developed to. It''s an odd feeling, and I''m pretty sure it will go away as soon as someone starts talking about politics or mechanical stuff or physics, because all that stuff - I''m still pretty dumb about ;)
Have a gorgeously relaxing weekend - Jade

Communication is key
As more businesses begin to reopen, it''s unlikely that the old rhythms of work will stay the same. As business owners and managers start to plan how they will bounce back from COVID, it''s also a time to make smart shifts in how you can engage the full potential from your team. From generating new ideas to holding meetings and sharing feedback, leaders can turn the reopening into an opportunity for boosting their team''s creativity, productivity, and growth in the weeks ahead.

#buymackay
This week the Rebel team were super busy helping Mackay Region Chamber of Commerce launch their brand new #buymackay challenge and conference! The challenge is for locals to snap themselves buying local - and then challenge three more people to do the same. Chamber will also be hosting a series of online events for the business community starting June 26. The aim of the webinars is to not only help you get back on your feet but to leverage the opportunities available in our region!
