Shortly after launching this blog in the beginning of the year, I started a new job. Suddenly, being a dedicated employee, parent AND blogger seemed insurmountable. I may be highly productive, but I’m not Super Woman (no matter how much I try to convince myself). So my original goal to blog regularly in two places has definitely taken a hit. Yet, I’ve decided to keep the blog and do what I can, when I can. Let me tell you about the new job.

I’ve stayed within the same organization, but in a different role at a different location. For the previous three years I was managing the daily marketing and communications needs for one of our hospitals in the Twin Cities. It was a great position and I was happy to be there. However, I was asked to move to the system office to manage marketing and advertising from a system perspective, with an eye on the organization as a whole.

Ironically, I moved from a big office to a tiny cubicle. And from a 12 minute to a 45 minute commute. Yet it was a solid career move for me. I am enjoying the challenge of new work, and am thrilled to be able to focus on the parts of my career I most enjoy: strategy, branding and advertising.

Thanks to those of you who still check in here from time to time. Looking forward to connecting with you again in this space.
