The CEO Files, new bi-weekly blog talking all things MID Group
I’ve always loved writing blogs as it allows me to express all the information that’s going on in my head. It’s great to keep you all updated about what’s going on with myself and around the business. So, I’ve decided to start a bi-weekly blog series, The CEO Files, which I hope you’ll all enjoy reading and engage with us across our social media platforms.
Q3 update
For the first CEO Files blog, I want to share with you some personal highlights I’ve had from the last quarter. As you’ve all probably heard, we recently announced the formation of MID Group, which MID Comms and our new brand, My Ideal Destination will fall under. It’s a very exciting time for the MID brand and I am proud to be at the helm steering the ship.
Fellowship status from Institute of Directors
Many of you will know that I have three important words that I carry with me, on both my work and personal life, “Pride”, “Passion” and “Persistence”. I believe these words have been instrumental in getting me to the point I am at today, gaining my fellowship status from the Institute of Directors (IID). This was a big achievement both personally and professionally for me and it proves that hard work and determination pays off. I hope my achievement can inspire everyone in the MID Family to always strive for more.
Kellogg’s KED Talks – Being bold and brave
Sometimes you are offered opportunities you just can’t turn down. Last month I was given the chance to sit alongside Roger Stephenson OBE and Martin Sterling at the Kellogg’s KED Talks to discuss the topic of being bold and brave.
It’s fantastic to pass on what I’ve learnt in my career journey to those who are at the beginning of theirs. It’s important to be bold and brave. Don’t be afraid to fail, failing is just part of the journey to success. If you don’t fail, then you’re not trying anything new or innovative. This comes back to those important three words pride, passion and persistence.
I hope you’ve enjoyed the first instalment of The CEO Files and are ready for the next one. We’re heading into Q4 now and I’ll have lots of exciting updates for you coming in the near future.
