Write it down.
Hello Hello!
It’s Friday again!
We have just a few weeks left until the year ends, how are you feeling about this?
Well, we are excited, once again, for numerous reasons.
But today is not about us, how are you doing?
The last few months of the year can seem like a big stretch with everything going on at our organisations.
It’s very easy to feel tired or that things are dragging on. One way to find encouragement is to document your wins and go back to reflect on them. Did you nail a presentation, write it down. Did you find a solution that impressed your team? Write it down.
What about securing a partnership, placating an incensed customer or even saving your organisation money? Write it down.
Because in times like this, you’ll need those reminders to tell you that you can have more wins because you’ve had several in the past.
The truth is that, sometimes, we have to be our own sources of encouragement and that’s okay. The most important thing is that we’re encouraged to keep going!
Meet our Community Member of the week!
Hello TCA, I’m Jacob Makau Mwanga, a Marketing and Communications Executive at Ripple Effect in charge of global social media management.
My handwriting is always confused for a lady's because it's very neat😅
I've learnt from previous monthly webinars by The Comms Avenue, about what it takes to achieve career progression from experiences shared by other members of the community. I am now working on a personal strategy to progress into a managerial role in Communications.
My favorite quote is a Bible verse - Phillipians 4:13 which says ' I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.’
You can connect with me here on LinkedIn.

Word on the street is that we have some TCA hangouts coming your way but we won’t let the cat out of the bag just yet.
