When deciding on a career move, it is a good time to stop and assess. Assess who you are and how your experience has shaped you. It’s a good time to assess what you are good at and where your skills lie and, most importantly for me, I ask myself “well, who do I want to spend the majority of my waking day with?”.
So when the opportunity arose for me to launch the Communications and Virtual Media division of bytes of knowledge I asked myself all these questions and came up with some interesting discoveries. So yes, I love my career experience to date – 20 years in Live Television and Communications – it’s been a blast, which means I have pretty much been there, seen it, done it! I know I find creative solutions to the most challenging of problems and I know I love working with smart people, from entrepreneurs and Fortune 100 Executives to front line staff. I also know that there is a smarter, better way for businesses to use technology to communicate with their workforce, their customers, their partners and bring everyone together to hear the same message, not at one central location but rather from their desktop, their laptop…nowadays they can fully participate in an event as it is possible for them to be ‘Virtually There’. I have seen it, created it and delivered it.
So, I know I love what I do and have unique skills to share, and now that I am here at bytes of knowledge, I am really looking forward to working with the client base that spans a variety of industries, from small entrepreneurs to public traded companies, from retail to government.
There’s no doubt the best endorsements come from happy and loyal customers and the customers I spoke with had a common message to share with me – bytes of knowledge, delivers results. No matter what the request, they can meet all of their technology needs in house; creatively and cost effectively. Some businesses don’t mind shopping around for several service providers but in this market, most prefer to reduce the need for multiple suppliers, contracts and associated overheads. Each time they need work done they want to have a solid go-to kind of resource that they know they’ll always get value and great service from. This resource is bytes of knowledge. Time is money and once you find value, it makes sense to come back and use it again and again and that’s what made me realize that this was the right move for me. I was able to be part of a dynamic team, that had a proven track record and a bunch of very happy recurring customers. They were OK and I would B-OK.
