🍌 Bloopers. Because everyone makes mistakes (right?!) 😆 I love talking about School Marketing on video but sometimes it doesn't quite go to plan. And when I say 'sometimes' I mean there are almost *always* mistakes. I'm putting this here partly for fun but mostly to reassure anyone seeing this that we should never compare our 'backstage' to someone else's main performance. Just because you don't usually see someone else's mistakes doesn't mean they're not there. And besides, the original video message was about authenticity so it actually feels a bit wrong to not share this behind-the-scenes cut(!) Anyway, I'll stop writing so I can put my teeth back in 😁 Original post with the 'polished' video right here: https://lnkd.in/ebG6_fFS Much love.

🇦🇪 Were you at the BSME Conference in Abu Dhabi? I was lucky enough to attend and met some amazing people there, many of whom I spoke to for an upcoming podcast recording. 📱 But as well as it being an audio podcast I also used an iPhone (and some willing volunteers to hold it) so I could capture some of the guest speakers on camera too. So a shoutout to everyone I spoke to at the event, in particular the following who appear in this video: Alison Lloyd from RAK Academy Kifaya Khan from Al Salam Community School in Dubai Jane Clewlow from Brighton College Dubai Russell Speirs from iGNIS Network Michael Torrington from International Community School- Amman Deborah Sharifi from Downe House Riyadh Mark Leppard MBE from The British School Al Khubairat 🎂 Gary Wright from Cambridge English School Simon Hyde from HMC (The Heads' Conference) Alison Lamb B.Ed, NPQH from Dubai Heights Academy Grant van der Kruk from Schoolbox Alex Gray from Arcadia British School Clare Wright from Classlist Natasha Etti-Edwards CIMA Adv Dip MA from BSME - British Schools in the Middle East Simon O'Connor FCCT from Deira International School Lee Hole from Dubai British School Jumeira Daryll Middleton from UBIQ K. Andrew Wilson NPQH from Arcadia Global School But, of course, a special shout out to Debra Forsyth, CEO & Director of BSME, for such a smashing event. Also shout out to the team here at The Bonjour Agency, that's Antonis, Charlie, Christian and Lisa 🥰

I saw this advert in School House Magazine and really wanted to talk about it here. Authenticity is one of those things close to my heart so a special shout out to Joanne Sammars at Berkhamsted School. This photo isn't one of mine (I don't even know who did take it) and this post isn't even about the photo. I'd love to know what you think though. (Love the publication btw Camilla Van Praagh) #schoolmarketing #schoolmarketingphotography #authenticity #whyamihashtaggingrandomwords
