Empowering Businesses
In today’s dynamic business landscape, the role of a creative corporate professional extends far beyond traditional boundaries. As someone who wears the “business development hat,” I’ve found that my corporate experience has equipped me with a unique set of skills to support both startups and established businesses in various crucial areas.

Gifting by Shy
When the Cat’s Away, the Gift Giver Plays! Ah, the sweet taste of freedom when the cat’s away! But instead of mice playing, you’ll find me, your friendly neighborhood gift-giving enthusiast, up to my elbows in ribbons, wrapping paper, and an alarming amount of glitter. (Note to self: Invest in a good vacuum cleaner.) Special occasions have snowballed into a part-time business What started as a simple desire to create heartfelt gifts for loved ones on special occasions has snowballed into a part-time business faster than you can say “Oh no, I forgot Aunt Mildred’s birthday!” From curating wedding tray gifts (because nothing says “I do” like a perfectly arranged assortment of trinkets) to crafting personalized presents that make people wonder if I’m secretly a mind reader, I’ve become a veritable gifting guru. A thoughtfully curated gift Now, you might be wondering, “Why gifting?” Well, let me tell you, there’s something magical about seeing someone’s face light up when they receive a thoughtfully curated gift. It’s like being a fairy godmother, minus the pumpkin carriage and talking mice. (Although, if anyone knows where I can find those, please let me know. It would really add to my gift-wrapping aesthetic.) Showing the recipient just how much they mean to me My passion for gifting stems from my love of creativity. Each gift is a blank canvas, an opportunity to express myself and show the recipient just how much they mean to me. It’s like being an artist, but instead of a gallery, my masterpieces end up in people’s homes, offices, and sometimes, let’s be honest, regifted to someone else. (Hey, as long as it spreads joy, right?) It’s a delicate balance of day job and life responsibilities Currently, this gift-giving extravaganza is confined to my free time or, as I like to call it, “When the Cat’s Away” hours. It’s a delicate balance of day job, life responsibilities, and furiously crafting gifts like a caffeinated elf before Santa’s deadline. But fear not, gift enthusiasts and last-minute shoppers! I have dreams of expanding this passion project into something bigger. So, watch this space! In the future, you might just see me going full-time into the world of professional gifting. Until then, if you need me, drop me an email or slide into my social media DMs and lets see what I can do for you. Remember, in a world where you can be anything, be a gift-giver. It’s the one profession where it’s always better to receive than to give… wait, I think I got that backwards. Oh well, back to the wrapping board!

Turning AI into Your Business’s Best Friend
It’s often seen as the conductor, dictating the pace and dynamics of our jobs – a force so potent it could make human musicians obsolete. However, do not fear as this perspective misses the harmony that can exist between humans and AI. Instead of conducting, imagine AI as another instrument in the orchestra, adding depth and richness to the melody. AI, when wielded with skill, can automate the monotonous parts of our jobs, the repetitive rhythms that consume our time. This leaves us, the human artists, to focus on the intricate solos and harmonies that require creativity and ingenuity. AI isn’t the maestro aiming to replace us, but rather a fellow musician enabling us to perform better. It’s a tool we can use to elevate our performance, not a threat to our relevance. It’s a tool we can use to elevate our performance. Apply this to a corporate setting and in the midst of this dynamic and ever-evolving digital era, Artificial Intelligence, or AI as it’s commonly referred to, has emerged as an indispensable component of modern business strategy. For businesses that are not just seeking to survive, but to thrive and stay ahead in this competitive landscape, AI is no less than a vital ally. Ensuring they run as smoothly and efficiently as possible. AI’s potency lies in its capacity to optimize and streamline business processes, bolster operational fluency, and enhance efficiency. With its ability to automate routine tasks, analyze large swathes of data, and churn out insightful findings, AI can act as the backbone of your business operations, ensuring they run as smoothly and efficiently as possible. By integrating AI into your operations, you open the door to new and unprecedented avenues for growth and innovation. AI’s ability to predict trends, understand customer behavior, and provide real-time business insights can give your business the competitive edge it needs to stay ahead in the market. HOWEVER, when embarking on the AI journey, there are pivotal considerations to bear in mind… Imagine trying to fit a square peg in a round hole – that’s what it’s like when you try to apply generic AI information to a unique business scenario. Each business is a distinct entity with its own objectives, challenges, and market dynamics, a complex tapestry that cannot be understood or navigated with a one-size-fits-all approach. Personalising AI is like crafting a bespoke suit, tailored to fit the specific contours and dimensions of your business. It can weave together precise predictions, relevant insights, and effective solutions that align seamlessly with your business goals, transforming the AI from a blunt instrument into a fine-tuned strategic partner. In a world where businesses are as diverse as the humans running them, personalisation ensures that AI serves as a truly effective tool and strategic partner for your business. From a complex, intimidating technology, to a trusted ally and strategic partner. Thus, in our journey towards digital transformation, it’s time we shift our perspective of AI – from a complex, intimidating technology, to a trusted ally and strategic partner. With the right approach, AI can indeed become your business’s best friend, propelling it toward a future of growth, innovation, and success.
