Mondays are one of our favourite days at The Comms Avenue but guess what? So are Fridays.
Yes, we’re doing a happy dance because we get to relax and recharge for the coming week. How about you? Do you have plans for the weekend?
Before you say no, think about this… We know it’s really tempting to bury yourself in work due to imminent deadlines. Sometimes, you have this urge to just get incoming work out of the way. We know because we feel this way all the time.
While it’s important to show up and go the extra mile at our roles, proper rest will help you do even better at work.
So we suggest that you go out to a place that relaxes you or stay home and catch up on sleep or your favourite shows. A weekend full of adventure awaits!
Let’s meet our Community Member of the week!
Hello, I’m Charmaine Chitate, a Communication & Multimedia Consultant for humanitarian, development and arts programs in Zimbabwe.
A fun fact about me is that my mind blooms when I am crocheting. 🙂
My favourite quote is this one by Confucius, “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life”.
I love being a nurturer of ideas and a developer of systems. Being a Communicator and an Artist allows me to visualise my ideas using different formats and support those who may not have the skill to do the same. I sign my work as @highontalent as a level of appreciation for each person’s unique skill and how we can shift mindsets together.
You can connect with Charmaine on LinkedIn.
Here’s our resource for this week
Sometime last year, we had a valuable session with Marketing and SEO experts on how to effectively use the foundations of Marketing and SEO to build your organisation.
These videos contain valuable information for Communications and Marketing professionals who want to build on the industry knowledge they have. You can watch them here.
We also have a few community updates to share.
Our first Virtual Community Hangout is this weekend 💃🏾
