Rashmi Naik works at IndiaSpend in the external communications and outreach department. She is a communication and public policy professional with over 15 years of experience. Recently she conducted a masterclass at SCoRe and I got to attend it. Her session was definitely what we needed after a day-long session talking about the PR faculty, how it works, about crisis management and the importance of communications. She entered the class with a positive vibe that just cheered up everyone’s energy. A refreshing session that everyone needed. She did not talk about the importance and paths of entering the world of Public Relations but how important it is to take care of yourself. She spoke about other things that are equally important along with our work life. Which are as follows:
1. We must always invest early. Little of your salary has to go into something productive.
2. There will be a time when you’ll get fed up with the same circle of work life. Take a step back and think if you want to continue and if not what you want to do.
3. Never postpone your life decisions because of your work.
4. Always push yourself one step further because why not?
5. Keep up with the latest technology. It will always be handy. Do not just depend on traditional methods.
6. Be curious and always ask as many questions as you wish.
7. Always know your sector well. Everything linked or connected to your sector, bodies related to your sector you should be aware of.
8. When planning for preparing tactics for your client or organisation always think about what will be good for your sector rather than for your client or organisation. Which can bring a change for the better even for the sector?
I had a great time and hope to connect with her in the future.
