16,767 MILES IN SIX MONTHS!

The learning journey continues...

Looking back to June this year, it is hard to believe exactly how much has happened to me since I last posted here on this blog, and how far I have travelled, just take a look..

UK to Riga, Latvia in August (1800 miles); Latvia to Moscow, Russia in September (555 miles); Moscow back to UK (2182 miles); UK to Madrid, Spain in October (2690 miles) and back again.  Then UK to Dubai, UAE in November (4770 miles); Dubai to Abu Dhabi, UAE, FOUR times back and forth (368 miles) and then finally Dubai, UAE home to UK (4770 miles)

Phew!

In each of these exciting venues I have been developing a series of products and services offered from my brand new JozefaVO website and managed by my PR and International Bookings Agent, Sarah Mercer who is based in Barcelona, Spain.

In Eurofortis, Riga, Latvia



In Riga, I was with the Eurortis team and we laid down tracks for my first, soon to be released, audio learning programme in Latvian.  These programmes are designed to help individuals learn how improve the quality, impact and effectiveness of their business voice.





Here are my Latvian recording team



Some of the Eurofortis team: Adela, Evija and Juris

who are also the distributors of my audio learning vocal coaching

programmes across Eastern Europe

Then it was off to Moscow, and in between running a couple of masterclasses at Moscow State University for Economics, Statistics and Informatics (MESI), we laid down tracks for the same programme but this time in Russian.

Then it was off to Madrid, and there was absolutely no time to take photos as I was both chairing and speaking at the Internal Social Media Forum as part of the Forward Networking Events team.

This is us at Forward Networking in Dubai: Greg, Martin (MD), Sarah and me


And so to the last trip for this year, and my first time to the Middle East.  First to speak and facilitate at the Evolving Corporate Universities Forum in Dubai - again with my Forward Networking colleagues - and then a private business visit with my colleague Dr Alaa Garad at IPE (International Performance Excellence) in Abu Dhabi, and his team of experienced Quality Management consultants.

With the IPE team in Abu Dhabi - who have just agreed to be distributors

of my audio learning vocal coaching programmes as soon

as they are recorded in Standard Arabic next year


I cannot pretend that the last six months haven't been absolutely amazing, they have, but also very tiring.  My voice has remained clear and healthy as I have drunk loads of water (ok perhaps just a few wodkas, after all I was in Russia).  I have also used my own breathing techniques to ensure that I didn't strain my vocal chords, after all, next year looks even busier as I go on a world tour - speaking all the way!


If you speak for a living then consider getting in touch with me, perhaps I can help you to get the best from your voice and keep it powerful, effective and clear.

amazing i would love to go around the world with my job but it does not really require us to do. At least working in a online recruitment agency means i am helping people find jobs in this time of need.
