Read MoreThere is this thing about “understanding” that speaks right into someone’s situation and says “I see you and I hear you”. And doesn’t everyone want to be seen and heard? Is that not the single universal feeling that burns inside every human being’s core desire? In one way or another, we all just want to be seen, to be heard, and to be truly understood.
The dictionary definition of understanding is “sympathetic awareness”. To me, this speaks of not JUST listening but listening with an intent to gain a deep connection to another person’s experience.

Read MoreWith social media now being so entirely part of everyday life, it makes it even harder for people with invisible illnesses, to show up guilt-free. The thing about social media is, it’s not real. What’s going on in someone’s life vs what you actually see is vastly different. And so it should be. We have forgotten the art of thoughtfully and privately sharing the most challenging and vulnerable parts of ourselves with the people who have earned the right to hear our full story. Social media isn’t the place for it. And so what has developed is an inauthentic ‘authenticity’ that crafts an alternate reality of our lives. That is not necessarily a bad thing.

Here are my 3 top tips (Golden rules) for communicating your own rebrand to your audience
Read More…I’ve been pondering what faith is, and what it means to hold on to faith when surrounded by drama and pain. Where to find God in it, how to SEE God in it, how to squash the guilt and shame of not being good enough or faith filled enough… especially in those moments when energy (physical and emotional) are low…
Read MoreWhy should Churches invest in quality Comms? It’s a simple question with a simple answer- Because Jesus did. The thing I love so much about Jesus is how He modelled behaviour and attitude for us. He literally showed us how to do everything. And that includes Comms.
Read More“Comms” quite simply means “communications” and refers to ALL the ways a business, charity or organisation communicates in every form.
Comms are the back bone of an organisation, they are the ways we communicate with people: for, with and alongside our organisation. There are loads of elements of comms (it is not, as most people assume, just “posting on Facebook”). Comms includes: branding; marketing; websites; social media; email; printed materials; even in-person! Whether internally, amongst staff/volunteers/team, or externally to the world. Although the way you do your comms differs from place to place, the basics are the same across most settings.
