The importance of taking a break
Hi there,
Welcome to the latest edition of Moxy Matters.
I hope that you enjoyed a great bank holiday weekend despite the rather turbulent weather. In the latest Moxy Vlog we explore the importance of taking a break and consider a few ways to show your moxy:
So grab a cuppa, maybe a cheeky biscuit, and tuck in…
Be brave
Be bold
Be different
And don’t wait to take that break – you’ve earned it, you deserve it, and you need it!
All the best,
Suzanne
We often risk waiting for a better, quieter time that inevitably never comes.
I learned the hard way what happens when you wait too long and burnt out. If I could go back I’d do one thing differently: I'd take some time off to.... ?
?? Rest and replenish my diminished energy levels
?? Reflect and allow myself to regain perspective
?? Breathe and create space for my team to step up.
We can never go back, but we can learn the lessons, which is why I filmed the latest Moxy Vlog after an hour-long hike along a path made of rocks across the sea, which explains its length (and the state of my hair)…
In some cases their boss tries, but doesn’t understand communications, while others feel completely alone. Sound familiar?
There is a ridiculous notion that Directors are just there for the difficult stuff, can't make mistakes, and no longer require recognition for their hard work. What rubbish!
?? Directors still need support and encouragement
?? Directors still deserve (and crave) positive feedback
?? Directors still want to be involved in the fun stuff
That’s why I’m on a mission to show leaders that they don’t have to carry the weight of the world on their shoulders alone and support overworked but fabulous communications leaders - just like you!
I'll let the results speak for themselves….

When the rain sets in sometimes it can get the better of us, especially on another wet bank holiday weekend. Don’t let it!
? Grab the most colourful umbrella you can find
?? Dress for summer (it’s still warm after all)
?? And smile as brightly as you possibly can
We can't control our environment – especially the weather - we can only control our response to it.
So instead of feeling glum, find a way to bring your own sunshine ?!
??♀? Crossed arms or a hand under the chin?
??♂? ?A laptop in hand or nearby, or perhaps a pen?
???? A pensive look directly into the camera
Then you can look like absolutely everyone else: shiny, placed and just a tad uncomfortable…
OR you could just have some fun and be fabulous, wonderful and unique you!
?Personally, I only work with (non-corporate) photographers with their own style, and who I trust to get the best out of me.
?As well as getting great results, it’s a hell of a lot more fun!
Coming up in June
