27 OCTOBER.......A SPECIAL DAY AND INSPIRATIONAL TO ME!

Image
  All days are amazing but it’s never like this particular one, 27th October 2018.....changed it all. Beatrice was made happy this day. When I held her in my arms, after all the days struggles...wishes and prayers...tears of joy came running down my dark skinned chicks.  Remembering all this....it started on a Saturday morning when I had to go to work as usual at Mediavision Academy..... Having no idea that the pain (Labor pains) would welcome me on such an afternoon.  Saturdays are days where we always had staff meetings and they were exhausting but great to have ideas and see how to take the company to the next level. Meeting with my great friend Nabwegamu Solome a.k.a Shalom the Finance and Administrator that time, Aloyo Annet and Nkambo.                                  Shalom, Beatrice and Aloyo The hunger started at about 1:00 p.m., when Shalom said we should order for some food, the meeting, by then had ended. While waiting for lunch, I felt I needed to use the wash room,

'People don't listen to understand, they listen to reply'.  That's one of the greatest challenges modern society faces.  There is a lot that organizations and individuals ought to embrace in communication. Be it as teams, organizations, personnel, CEOs, Directors, Human Resource Managers among others. Communication is and remains the backbone that assures improved efficiency and competitiveness, regardless of whether it is personal or professional relationships, no one can do without effective communication.  In order to build relationships with friends, family, clients or employees you must hone your communication skills. Team communication in particular is an important factor in any decision-making process.  Beatrice Amulo was honored to meet, listen and talk to one of the greatest Motivational Speakers Ethan Musolini, "THE MERCHANT OF SUCCESS", and CEO of Success Africa. He is also Executive Coach, HR Consultant, Author and Motivational Speaker. He seiz

Mediavision Academy Flickr page created by Amulo Beatrice  Creating Flickr account for Mediavision Academy was on my to do list this morning. It has been a great adventure and the entire process has been interesting and educative.  Flickr is one of the most popular online photo sharing programs available. If you join Flickr, it will take you just a few minutes to get set up and then you can start uploading and sharing your images. Flicker provides a free account that allows you to upload 100MB per month. This is an application that all organisations and individuals ought to embrace since it is one of the safest ways of attracting income through uploading photos of great interest to other organisations nationally and internationally. In addition , as a Communication Specialist this is important for me to create stories through the photos that i upload.  “If your photos aren’t good enough, then you’re not close enough.”     Robert Capa

Wow, what a day!   My day in the office has lots of fun, full of exciting feelings, in short a conducive environment that can help make things happen.  My second spell to the Academy started early in September 2022 as the only Communications Officer.  Ooh yes, I couldn't help, but to rejoin the institution I left due to the Covid-19 lockdown. The ambiance with passionate students who aspire to lead the film industry in Uganda, and why not worldwide, one really wants to be part and parcel of that time that guide mainly young people to their destiny.  As the mantra of the Academy goes: "Where Dreams Come True", it is exciting to witness how the students' talents in the areas of video, television, radio, film, photography are being unlocked by professional and seasoned tutors.  It is, indeed, passionate to witness that! Having said that, I was really thrilled as I was enjoying my work with Daniel M. Meboya on Monday, 10 October 2022 after work, we came across a former wo
