Communications with Purpose
Today I made my radio debut. That’s ‘sat in a studio’ radio as opposed to ‘hogging the mic at a charity event’ radio.
I’m much more used to being behind the scenes, very happy to coach others in how to address a camera, or a microphone (you know what they say about ‘those who can’t’), and I don’t mind admitting that I was scared.

International women’s website In the Powder Room is partnering with Save the Children on its #PassItOn outreach campaign. The intention is to help save 4 million children’s lives through the global adoption of a vaccination program being debated at a summit hosted by David Cameron in London on June 13th 2011.

Editor in chief Gigi Eligoloff says:” We place high expectations on the brands we work with and want to ensure that we’re giving our readers something different. There’s also a minimum prize value of £150 each time since we know our readers are time poor we don’t want to waste their time unless it’s for something they will really, really love.”
This place is being sorely neglected lately. Not only did I promise it a complete overhaul back in December, I also told myself that I’d be writing here on a weekly basis and keeping up with ‘stuff’.
Oh well, all in good time…
