How did I do it? For the past three years I’ve maintained an active blog. I worked to provide updates three or four times a week. My Twitter account (PercepCounsel) has a fair number of followers. On LinkedIn my network is extensive. And around the world I keep up with families and friends on Facebook.

At least I used to.

In October I started a new job. I went from running my own company to leading the Sydney office of Fleishman-Hillard, a global public relations and public relations consultancy.

And time disappeared!

I think it’s the thrill of a new, meaty role. There are so many areas for a dedicated communicator to get stuck into here. The business is solid but is primed to grow. There are fantastic consultants who are keen to continue their professional development. And the client list reads like a “Who’s Who” of multinationals and leading Australian enterprises.

Plus at heart I’m an energetic, dedicated person. So naturally if I need to give a lot to my job I give more.

My good mate Sarah Reed once told me it’s all about pace. She worries I try to take on too much and try too much – and risk burning out. And like a lot of people I listened and thought it insightful – and chose to ignore her advice. Aren’t people grand?

So forgive me if the latest on WallyDownUndy is a week old. Or my Tweets seem stale. Or I haven’t replied to your update on Linked In or seen your video on YouTube. Perhaps I’ll launch a new site – www.AmThereInSpirit.com…
