It's A Learning Process.

It's often said that we keep learning. In this past month I have realized that more than ever before.
At Rubans Rouge every arm has been put to test.
The corporate gifts arm has been busy with the golf tournament gifts and considering it is the end of the year we have to meet the needs of all our corporate clients.





Our knowledge of gifts and gift giving also grew and our event planning skills put to test with the organization of the 50@50 Nigerian Women: The Journey So Far.

We have beautiful souvenirs to mark the golden jubilee of our great nation.

Our events arm has been on their feet organizing this event which includes a historic exhibition of the Nigerian woman in New York and then Nigeria. It got all heated up after the First Lady Of Nigeria, Dame Patience Goodluck Jonathan unveiled the logo.
I will share with you some of the things i have learnt.
1. It is important to multitask. Sometimes you need to make important decisions on several things all at once.
2. It is important to employ capable hands. As it is impossible to do everything yourself it is important to employ people you can trust to a large extent to handle certain aspects of your project.
3. Stay calm. This is easier said than done but it is important. I found out that you take better decisions when you are calm and actually save time.
4. Take notes. During meetings or when you are alone important points cross your mind and at that point you are actually convinced you will remember it when you need it but most times when you need it you just never get it like the first time.
5. Anything can go wrong. Some things are just out of your control for instance the loudspeaker. My suggestion? Always have a plan B
6. Always take courses there is no such thing as too much knowledge.
7. Align yourself with the best in every field, irrespective of what part of the world they are. I assure you there is something to learn.

These and many more I have learnt. Have a lovely Weekend!
