Media Training

I have been so busy there has been very little time for my blog.

It has been a real pleasure to have joined the team of Lecturers at Murdoch Universaity Dubai. Lecturing on the Australian Radio Curriculum. I have a great deal of respect for the Education sector.

Media training has proved very useful to a number of clients who have struggled during these economic trials.

I wish the Recession was not brushed under the carpet in this neck of the woods.

When is it time to move on?

Having lived in a city as an expatriate when should you decide to move on?

Where should you move to ?

Do you return to your country of origin?

Do you move on to another fascinating destination that has a colourful history?

Where do you go during a Global Recession?

Should you ride out the economic tsunami?

these are just some of the questions I have been asked most recently from Expatriates who have either lost their jobs or can see the writing on the wall within their organisation and see the end of an era on the horizon.

Your comments will be reviewed for an upcoming programme on 'what to do next'

What questions, if any, are you asking?

Volcano shuts Uk, Danish and Norwegian Air Space

The affect of the volcanic ash coming from the eruption in Iceland has caused major flght disruption. The affects can be felt here in the UAE, from a media perspective the Radio Networks have again been kept out of the communication chain...incredible considering how radio stations can provide Immediate updates...

Really speaks volumes for where Radio stands in the media picture.

Shame.

I am receiving updates and queries from Passengers. Wherre are the Airlines spokesmen.?

Life is a Rollercoaster

Living abroad as an expatriate, when was the last time you felt the urge to give it all up and head home to your roots? How often do you think about it? Or is it something that rarely crosses your mind?

Or as an expatriate do you find yourself thinking, where next?

Middle East Media

It's been a very long time since my last blog. International Media has moved in leaps and bounds into the next stratosphere and yet the Media here in the Middle East continues to move at a snail's pace. I am particularly saddened by the lack of forward thinking in the radio markets, many of which have been left well behind by frustrated listeners doing their own Programming on their Ipods and internet.

I have been busy putting things inplace for Jeff Price Media- and the way forward is in providing training and placement advice.
