This is going to sound a little weird, so stick with me.
Relationships are a little bit like dancing. (Maybe I have seen Billy Elliott too many times)
They both require strong partnerships, co-ordinated effort, and most importantly, a sense of rhythm. It’s all about understanding each other’s timing.
If it’s someone you haven’t seen in years, it takes a while to tune into the other person’s rhythm, and then it’s like you were never apart. But it’s the same for people that you see every day. As soon as your regular rhythm is interrupted, it takes a little while to get back into one another’s timing.
So far so good, but this blog isn’t about how to make your friendships last.
Think about your relationships at work – with clients and colleagues.
Commit yourself to keeping a steady rhythm. Check in, catch up and stay in touch.
Your colleagues will be quicker to support you, and your clients will feel more connected to what you’re offering.
That way, it’s less time spent catching up, and more time getting on.

What's on my mind
About Me
- Kevin Jackson
- The glasses are important, since I’m almost totally blind in one eye. This means I have zero depth perception. Instead of making snap judgements, I have to think around a subject and look again to try and gain a sense of perspective. And that’s what I’m doing here - taking a different view of the trends and patterns around us to see if they’re as close as they seem, or further away than we thought. There’s not a discipline within the communications mix that I haven’t spent time in – what connects them though, is my passion for igniting advocacy and word-of-mouth. I’ve also worked on multi-platform campaigns for some of the world’s biggest brands, we are all on first-name terms. Ultimately, whether it’s a consumer, business or internal audience, no one is exempt from my belief in engaging experiential communications. Over the last four years ago, I’ve been busy developing relationships across the telecoms, technology, FMCG, retail and energy sectors, to name a few.
