PRHK Learning Series: PR Ethics Code of Conduct
2018-10-23 08:30 - 10:00 | naked Hub @ New Street, 5-13 New Street, Sai Ying Pun
We’ve never lived in times quite like these. On the one hand, our collective voice has never been stronger. We demand more. More accountability, more transparency and more action from those we’re invested in – the politicians who represent us, the employers we work for, the businesses we patronize. On the other, we continue to witness examples of governments that ignore the needs of their citizens, economies that rise and fall on a tide of unscrupulous activities and corporations that bend the rules in the name of profit. Some of this is the deliberate work of an unprincipled few. But more often it flows from an inability of generally well-intentioned people and organizations to maintain an effective ethical compass in our rapidly changing world.
Rachel Catanach discusses the PR industry’s role in upholding strong ethical practices and creating a culture of ethical behaviours. She unveils the PRHK’s new code of conduct to help ensure individuals, firms and brands within the industry make consistently ethical decisions, one decision at a time.

Getting ahead in your career: don't let your soft skills hold you back
2018-04-18 08:30 - 10:00 | naked Hub, 5-13 New Street, Hong Kong, Hong Kong
Navigating your career at an agency can be challenging, especially at the SAE level. All of a sudden, the skills that made you a stellar AE and SAE don’t matter as much compared to your soft skills. Soft skills are inherently harder to learn and master because they fall outside of the hard, job specific skills that you have learned over time. They are also dependent on a number of factors – all of which are rooted in your emotions and reactions to others.
This session will dive into what your supervisors are looking for when it comes to promoting you to manager and ways you can work on your soft skills and grow into a strong leader.
Key takeaways from the event:

What your managers are looking for and how to discuss your progress towards a promotion with them
Understanding the top 5 skills that make you a strong manager
How to incorporate these skills in your current day-to-day work

Speakers:

Colby Jones – Agency talent development consultant
Surj Bahra – Image consultant
