Just having a break from a bit of Professional Development. Skills I want to explore further are public speaking, design writing, networking and interior design. I am just about to start an interior design project so that will give me something to get my creative juices flowing. I'll be researching local organisations and events where I can flex my networking skills. As for writing, I've decided to write a few articles, not for publication but for practice with a view to publishing my own work at a later date.

Listening to a bit of eighties music too!

Today's thought of the day - in order to progress with one's career, drive, determination and ambition are the key to success. The power behind it has got to come from within. There is a lot of advice out there from Career Advisors, helpful tips from peers/mentors to the heartfelt encouragement from friends and family; but unless you make opportunities for yourself, treading water is all you will be doing. Swim the Nile instead and feel the rewards.

This was taken from a cable car in San Francisco - if you look closely you'll see the letter A. This is part of a typography project I'm working on.

The first day as a 'creative professional' - a good day!
