Today was one hell of a stressful day! When I first moved to Singapore I
signed up to join the IAB video committee. The intention was to take part, meet
some people in the industry and hopefully get a copy of CV building volunteer
roles completed before the end of the year.
Somehow, when the chair
of our committee stood down after a month, I ended up being moved into the role
of chair, and I have been working hard to manage the time and work demands on
top of all my usual work.
The past few months
have been building up to a training and education event that sold out last
week, even though non-member tickets were priced at $500 a person. Crazy!
The last few weeks have
been a blur of agenda finalising, speaker management, brand alignment on random
presentations and all sorts of other fun and exciting developments that ended
up making it a pretty stressful few weeks.
Thankfully, after a
particularly stressful few days, and a horrendously busy morning, the event got
underway at 12:30 today, and it’s finally all done and dusted. It was a day of
highs and lows, which a couple of the speakers really not doing themselves proud,
but it’s done, the feedback has been good enough and we sold out the event,
which is really all I could have asked for.
Now I just have ten
documents and educational mail outs to get written and sent to our mailing list
before the end of the year, and all the extra hard work is done! Let’s hope I
don’t foolishly volunteer for anything else quite so stress inducing for the
next few months.
