Hints and Tips... Who's judging a particular award can be a good way to ascertain just how prestigious and credible a particular award is. Questions you might like to ask yourself are; 1. Is the judge a previous winner and if so what experience and prejudices are they bringing to the judging table? 2. Is the judge also a sponsor of the awards they're judging? If so does this give them anymore say-so than any other judge? 3. Is the judge also entering the awards (either individually or via their business) and if so how is that being treated by the award organisers? What you're looking for is clear judging criteria and transparency thereby ensuring you know your nomination will get as fair an opportunity as anyone else around that table (virtual or otherwise). Don't be afraid to ask questions. Entering (and winning!) awards takes time. Make sure you invest it wisely gaining the maximum benefit for your efforts. Do you have a question for us? If so ask away and we'll endeavour to answer them as quickly as we can.

LET'S DO SOME JUDGING.... 🔵 Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" Matthew 7 Well, indeed.... 🔵 How guilty are we of judging others through the most harsh lens when we have not applied the same scrutiny to our own behaviours? 🔵 Passing judgement can be easy to do but what's harder is judging fairly. What went well and what could be improved? I am lucky enough to be one of the judges looking at entries submitted for this year's SimplyIC Awards. 🔵 Internal communication is no easy job. There's always someone or even groups of stakeholders who have nothing but bad things to say about the communication they and other colleagues receive. 🔵 But how often do they consider the usual lack of resources, budget, and team members? How many people can cut diamonds with a pair of children's scissors from WHSmith? 🔵 I'm always amazed at the valiant efforts of the many hard working and committed internal communicators doing wonderful things in many different industries and environments. It's always a pleasure and never a chore. Looking forward to the ceremony at the end of November. #awards #simplys #internalcomms

Ahh the mind monkeys 🐒🐒🐒 The energy sappers, creativity sponges and the MAIN thing to hold people back when it comes to entering, accepting and winning awards. BUT, I wanted to put your mind at ease... these are the 3 things you DON'T have to worry about when entering awards: 🐒 "Comparisonitus"- so easy to get caught up in. But in the world of awards, it's not about how you stack up against others; it's about showcasing YOUR unique achievements. 🐒 Being big-headed/blowing our own trumpet. When it comes to awards, it's time to shine a spotlight on your accomplishments. You're not being big-headed; you're letting the world know about your hard-earned success and about how many people you've helped. 🐒 Being judged. Ok this bit has to happen with the judges-but they're not there to criticise! They're there to recognise, they're champions in celebrating your achievements. And whenever I've sat in an awards ceremony- there is nothing but warmth and support in the room. Recognise which 🐒 is yours and try to work on overcoming it! I want you to be able to embrace the awards journey with confidence and pride. (and I want you to win 🤩) I have a free strategy masterclass in November, I'd love for you to join. It's a great step to battling these mind monkeys. Comment monkey and I'll send you the link.

Here's how to be discontent and unhappy in three easy steps: 1️⃣Envy what you see on social media because you think that is real. 2️⃣Despair because you haven't been awarded for the latest 30 under 30 award because you forget that people are more willing to post about highlights than lowlights. 3️⃣Compare yourself to others because you know who doesn't like to feel like they are wayyy behind. In all seriousness, stay level. There isn't some rule out there that says you need to accomplish said task at said date. Chill, you are right on time. Run your own race and remember that extraordinary is simply a string of ordinary actions put together over time.
