Running into sports!

Hey everyone,

As I am now nearing the end of my professional practise at PMH Foundation, I am starting to get a much better understanding for the foundation as well as the not-for-profit industry itself and how PR is a vital tool in succeeding in this challenging industry.

If there was one thing I could take away from this and find the most important trait to carry when working in a professional world, it is to create connections, relationships and networks. As the big events are soon approaching for the foundation such as the Bear By Night Ball, Melbourne Cup Luncheon and the Urban Descent, this trait is being forced into me as I observe and assist with what is going on behind the scenes. This is something I hope use a lot soon as I am in the early stages of assisting and developing a corporate sports day for the foundation. This corporate sports day is something we hope to tailor into a package and make readily available for corporate organisations to use and therefore increase the funding received for the organisation. It is an exciting package to plan as it involves a sport that I love, but I won’t disclose which one though ;)

Getting this plan off the ground though was supported through the use of current relationships between certain staff members at the foundation and certain personalities within Perth, reinforcing the notion the value of relationships and connections.

As I am only in early and research stages of this, I will have to keep you all updated on my progress and also the ending of my placement as that is soon approaching. In planning this, I hope to create some great relationships that will benefit and support me within my professional career after university!

Thanks,

Brodie!
