Navigating the fog ahead of 2024; supporting #FuturePRoof's guide to AI in PR; responding to your views on comms; questions on a four-day working week.
The rest book sounds very interesting. I agree the best ideas often come when we're not sitting at desks typing or doing busy-work.
But is going for a walk or taking a shower viewed as 'work'?
One of the many reasons I'm not full-time employed in the PR industry anymore is because my body and mind couldn't actually hack it. The pace and relentlessness was too much for me. I am continuing to unlearn the narrative that this is not a personal failing. I'm always observing with curiosity how the comms industry adapts and evolves (or doesn't) to be more inclusive, flexible and to support people to thrive.
It is worth a read Janelle; came out before lockdown, and we have a copy in the office, but still holds true to today. I can't speak for the rest of the comms industry; I know it's a challenge and one we try to address here. Flexibility helps, of course. Having good clients who value your work and respect you as human beings also matters massively.
