Show profile Hide profileI am a seasoned Communications, public relations and media professional with just over 20 years of experience in the profession.
My sound experience covers all aspects of the communications spectrum: compiling and implementing a communications strategy that is aligned to organizational strategy and objectives; management of external communication covering client and other stakeholder messaging, internal communication - internal organizational/Executive messaging, writing and managing production of internal newsletters, writing for online medium, planning and executing employee events; media management - writing and issuing of media releases, writing of feature articles for specialist publications, media spokesperson, media training of Executives and prepping of Executives for media interviews; corporate social responsibility - input into development of CSR strategy, identifying and executing delivery of projects; event management, management of a diverse team, compiling and managing a communications budget.
I am a self-starter and am able to work with very little or no supervision; do not like being micro-managed. I enjoy working with a team and am very hands-on but also allow team members to grow and develop under my guidance. I am very deadline driven, able to multi-task and function well under pressure. Attention to detail is of the utmost importance in communications as there are no second chances - got to get it right the first time! I have excellent inter-personal skills - am able to communicate at any level internally and externally and presentation skills. Always like to build an internal network of expertise i.e. knowledgeable group whom I can tap into for specific expert information.
I can be a hard task master and get impatient if people don't work at my pace, but I have realized that each is an individual and needs to be accommodated but within parameters. Also, a single management style when managing a diverse team will not be successful. Management style needs to be adapted a little to suit different cultural and gender differences as well as personality types.
Finally, I work hard to ensure all deliverables are met as agreed, always committed and loyal to the organization I work for, a proud brand ambassador.
