This week we started off round two of the PR course that we are doing for the South Cork Enterprise Board.
Can I tell you a secret – I love it !!
The first group were absolutely terrific, they bonded, we bonded, and we all learnt some great new stuff and had fun in the process.
Having a room full of business people all with interesting stories and all pro-actively pushing the door to try to make things happen for themselves is totally exhilarating.
.. among them we had people from an art gallery, an online antique jewellery business, en established Cork firm trying to make new waves, a ballroom dancer, an Irish festival crew, intern placement, oriental gifts, high end electrical installations, makeup experts and even a PR person sharpening their skills.
Listening to people sharing their issues and challenges and then taking these objectives and applying the PR process to it is really great .. and don’t forget about the Purple Cow – they had to hear a lot about that particular creature from yours truly!
Can’t wait for next week ..
