^^The Adelaide that I should have seen during my trip...^^
^^The actual Adelaide that I saw on my trip...chucking down rain the whole time^^
Wow. Sure has been a while since my last update! I’ve been super, SUPER busy lately, traversing Australia and trying to make a name for myself whilst trying to find my sanity and keep my head above water with my thousands of projects, conferences, training sessions, case studies, meetings and the like.
I’m writing to you from ADELAIDE, Australia! Wine country, or so they say, but unfortunately I won’t have time to indulge in some pleasures (although I did enjoy a few samples and might have potentially ordered a case of something amazing to be delivered in 2 weeks….oops?)
I’m here to kick off my Australian social media recruitment tour! I’m hosting a series of workshops in conjunction with the RCSA (Recruitment and Consulting Services Association) and will be speaking at breakfast conferences on social media in recruitment in Adelaide, Perth, Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane (in that order, I think). More details on the breakfasts can be found here.
So Adelaide’s brekky is tomorrow, and then I fly to Perth in the afternoon for the Perth brekky on Thursday. I’m very excited to see Perth. The most isolated city in the world, Perth is meant to be beautiful and I've heard nothing but good things about that city!
Yesterday, Monday, I spoke at the Health & Productivity Management Conference (in Sydney, for once!). It was only 30 minutes, but it was very well received and I was quite pleased with my presentation. It was recorded and photos were taken, so hopefully multimedia is coming soon. Last week I was in Melbourne for training sessions & meetings, and the weekend before that I was in Melbourne as well, speaking at the HR Summit (I also spoke at the HR Summit Sydney and in October I’ll be presenting once again at the HR Summit in Brisbane).
Suffice to say, JXT Consulting has me racking up those frequent flyer points left and right! It’s tiring, but I love (most times) every minute of it. Flights are usually at 6 am, meaning 4:30 wake up, and often I don’t get home until 10 or 11 at night. Sometimes it can wear me out, but it does make me appreciate a good night’s sleep.
With this week’s trips to Adelaide & Perth and my arrival home from Melbourne on Friday night, I’ll have hit 4 cities in 6 days :-) Woo!
I reckon that’s enough for now. I could say that I’ll write again soon, but who knows?!
Chou for now.
PS: my most recent pride and joy is the completion and launch of Crown Casino’s Career facebook page – designed and developed by yours truly! Crown Casino is the largest casino complex in the in the southern hemisphere so you can imagine it was a pretty exciting project!
