New blog for the New Year
2014 was a big year for me, with lots of changes. It all started with an intention to make some professional changes. What followed were months of communication and networking and good old-fashioned hard work. In October, I resigned my editorial position as the Global Mountain Bike Editor at Cyclingnews.com.
It had been eight whirlwind years of chasing breaking news, writing in-depth interviews and bringing the cycling world timely and high quality race and new product coverage. I learned a lot, worked with wonderful people from around the globe and enjoyed some incredible opportunities to travel, including reporting on races in Europe, Africa and North America.
What I took with me was my love of a good story and communicating it to others. While I wear a different hat now as the self-employed owner of Sue George Communications, I still tell stories. Every day. Often they are the stories of my clients or of their clients. Sometimes I simply tell the stories of my own adventures.
The best part about the transition thus far has been getting to work on diverse projects. Yes, there is still plenty of writing and editing to be done, but there is also more strategic thinking and lots of communication, coordination and project management to help my clients realize their goals.
A year after kicking off my own new professional journey, I kick off this blog, with the aim of sharing with you tips for how you can communicate and market better. I’ll also share examples of what Sue George Communications does.
