2 Things I Learned as a Judge at the #YES Regional Finals

11/7/2019

“Do you want to be a judge at this year’s Young Enterprise Awards? It is on the 29th of October - last year you were travelling, I hope not this year.”

When Ventura Fitzgerald, the Coordinator of the Event contacted me via LinkedIn, I knew right away that this year I can and I will say #YES. Yes to the Young Enterprise Regional Final and Awards, yes to supporting today's youthful leaders and tomorrow's best startups in our region.

Yes to connecting with our local community. Yes to celebrating and encouraging entrepreneurship. And yes to passing on the knowledge and experience I have gathered along the years.

I knew I will have messages to share. I knew there will be ears that will listen and embrace it.


But little did I know how this experience will make me reflect, re-evaluate. Tune in and grow.

Here is a story of what I learned from the Regional YES Awards.
​Inspired by #judgelife.

​How time flies! Yes, spring has sprung, and I have to admit I have no idea where did the last month go! I can't believe we celebrated 2 y​ears in business & the 2nd Anniversary of launching B!Social, from Nelson to the world! :) 

Here are some exciting updates on what happened in the past few weeks in the B!Social universe. 

Event highlights:
  • Strategic tips & 3 local success stories how to use Social Media for business at BizNet
  • Meet the fantastic LinkedIn Team - WOW, and this was our 15th Social Media Workshop!
  • Podcast interview from the carseat, connecting Nelson, New Zealand and Madison, USA thanks to Social Media
  • B!Social at the 1st Spanish & Latin American Film Festival and the Maori Language Week - as a language aficionado and an avid believer in lifelong learning, just couldn't miss these two events. Were you there?
  • Going green? I am exploring the opportunity how to start measuring my carbon footprint and do something about it as a business. You can do it, too.

And, proud to introduce a new feature on the blog: The B!Social Hall of Fame :) 

Thank you to all the amazing people & my lovely clients for joining me on the journey! :) Here are all the details, read on!

It's time to #bsocialnow :)

B!Social in Sydney - Awards Night and the Journey that lead to it

8/23/2019

​
​Last week was big for me. I flew over to Sydney to receive my Finalist Certificates for the Social Media Marketing Awards Australia & New Zealand, the industry's biggest award in our region.


I was voted into the TOP 5 by a select group of international judges, in 2 categories:
  • Social Media Educator of the Year - the only one from New Zealand, and
  • Best Emerging Social Media Marketer of the Year.  

The past few days have been quite intense, with of course, the Gala Ceremony being the highlight of last week! I am feeling a tremendous amount of excitement, honour and pride to be a finalist. Also, receiving lots of valuable feedback from my colleagues gave me an awesome boost and professional reassurance to keep continuing what I do in this space.

And then, when I arrived back home, a sense of tiredness rushed through me. It’s like, you know, when you are on a road trip, it’s amazing, you gain lots of new experiences, and then finally you arrive, ready to take a break, pause, and just contemplate on the memories while you look back on your trip. Now that’s what happened to me.

So I took a few days to reflect, look back, evaluate, and of course treasure the moments, the journey. The B!Social journey that started almost 2 years ago, right here, in Nelson, New Zealand. Born out of a new challenge, and with it, a complete new me was born. 

Thank you to each and every one of you who have been following, were/ or are part of this journey.

Here are some of my favourite highlight moments of the Social Media Marketing Awards Gala Dinner. Thank you Social Media Marketing Institute, I will never forget! I am now back, full of new energies, inspiration, and lots of valuable new knowledge to share.

And if you are curious to hear how the B!Social journey started, just keep reading :)
