My First Four Months as Editor-In-Chief Some months ago, a valid description of Echoes of Accounting would have been "The editorial arm of NUASA OAU." But in fact, it was just another NUASA committee. We did well sometimes, and other times, not so well, but we made progress time after time. There was growth and improvement in the way we did things, but it wasn't enough. 👎🏾 Members' participation and commitment was low 👎🏾 There was a fair (at least) sense of belonging 👎🏾 We really did not have an online presence 👎🏾 We did not have a clear vision 👎🏾 There was a poor connection between us and our audience. So despite the growth and improvement, we suffered the same problems year after year. This meant that something was wrong, and it had to change. We had the creative juices, the ideas, the talents, and the skills, but they wasted most of the time due to the poor structure. On the inside, we needed to create: 📍a stronger sense of belonging, 📍a more efficient team structure, 📍and a plan. On the outside, we needed to: 📌 Create more media outlets, 📌 Build a connection with our audience, create more content, 📌 and give the team a new face and a new voice. The team needed restructuring and rebranding. As the longest serving member of the team (it's coincidental that I'm the Editor-In-Chief), I was able to experience first hand how we made progress and grew over the years. And since my admission into the team, I have risen through the ranks from: contributing writer to social media manager to assistant production manager, and now EIC. I have seen what works and what doesn't. I've seen our strengths and weaknesses. I've seen the opportunities we have and what may stand against our goals. **** On the 30th of June, 2023, I was appointed as the Editor-In-Chief, alongside my super team, Emmanuel Akinsowon(AAT), Temitope Agboluaje (Assistant Editors-In-Chief) and Ifeoluwa Oluwatomisin Mosunmade (General Secretary). That very evening, together with my predecessor Ifeoluwa Elijah Farayola, FMVA® and the Public Relations Officer (The chairman), Precious Adesanya , AAT, we started work immediately. We sifted through the applications we received from prospective team mates, and shortlisted them for interview. It's a story for another day. Together with the PRO and the super team, we interviewed and concluded our first round of recruitment. After which we appointed more executives to stir the boat with us. Then we had a break to re-strategise and plan before we met again. Because of the herculean task ahead...

Giving notes to your editor - how do you critique without crushing their spirits? 🎯 Remind them of the vision. This is what we’re aiming for. 👍 Point out what’s working. Acknowledge their hard work. 🧐 Point out what isn’t working. This is where we’re off target. Reminding the editor of the vision sets the notes in objective space. “We all agreed we’re aiming for this target. Here’s where you hit it, and here’s where you missed. Let’s adjust.” It also helps you as the director or producer be objective. Maybe the editor did it a way you wouldn’t have—but if it hits the target, maybe it’s okay. How can editors receive notes well? Ask lots of questions and take lots of notes. Then go for a walk :)

When it comes to writing content, consultants ask, “Which comes first, the article or the puns?” or, “Which comes first, the title or the chocolate reference?” Most pressing of all, of course, is, “Which comes first, the art or the text?” This time, it’s the art. And you’re adding the text. 🌟The 4th Annual Consulting Firm Caption Contest!

When you receive a draft or a final cut from your editor, don't just say "it's good" or "it's bad". Give them specific and actionable feedback that helps them improve the video. Use the sandwich method: start with something positive, then point out the areas that need improvement, and end with another compliment. #videoediting #explorepage #business #itservice #techdaraja

Some Companies many times shows their services page very badly, how much time is needed to edit this. I must say it need time, where we as editor comes and play our role. We spend timing doing simple changes and make it readable. #linkedinPostdesign #companyservicespost

Big things are happening in your life! 🤔 Here’s how I can prove it. Henry Ford said Whether you think you can or (you think) you can’t, you are right. Are you expecting something different to happen in your life this year or have you resolved that you will simply get more of the same? You see, if you are believing and thinking that great opportunities are coming your way, then they will come. This is more than just blab it and grab it garbage. This is a genuine conviction within you that says greater things are coming. Take a second 🕒 and say out loud: “Great and amazing this are coming my way!” Say it again like you truly believe it. In my company, EPW, we are growing quickly and taking in new authors regularly. In fact, I’m currently looking for a new editor to keep up with the demand, but none of this happened because I was expecting this to be a slow year in business. I have been and I continue to speak great things over myself and my company daily. I’m evidence that it works! Are you declaring BIG things over yourself and your business every morning? Make it a new habit and see the difference it makes. 1️⃣ If you say BIG things over yourself, comment below if it makes a difference for you. 2️⃣ If you know someone looking for an editing opportunity, share this with them and tell them to DM me. 😊 3️⃣ If you believe this post can encourage someone else, repost it and let’s bring them hope. 🔁 #GetExcited #TheOffice #BigThings #Declare
