Rotary Royal Windsor Jaguar Festival 2017

It was an absolute delight to attend the wonderful 2017 Royal Windsor & Eton club Jaguar Festival arranged by the Rotary club team.

Over 2,000 Jaguar cars joined the colourful parade on the high street of the historic town of Windsor in Berkshire, UK passing by the Guild Hall where superb commentary was shared by Jaguar teams.
As I am a member of Rotary I am able to attend any club in the world so of course I also attended the Welcome Buffet at the Castle Hotel with hundreds of Jaguar owners, businesses & the Rotary club team. I was also very fortunate to sit next to the Major of Eton so was able to network and share more info about my work with W1PR and Rotary International as an Image team member covering the UK.
On the Saturday Morning the Windsor & Eton Rotary club met to manage event duties together with the local council and police. I had a very important job collecting entrance charges & making sure visitors were met and advised accordingly about the event.
The whole event was managed beautifully and also gave me and all the guests a unique experience to see and even sit in some of the most treasured Jaguar cars in the world.
My special thanks to the members of the Windsor & Eton Rotary club that where so very very kind and helpful in every way I could ever image and so definitely worth a visit if you are looking to learn more about Rotary in the Royal county of Berkshire.

Week Two To Improve My Memory in 6 Weeks

I have just had my second session of my memory coaching from Bill Aronson after, a very busy week with work & charity events. However, I still managed to do my online course that only took me about an hour.

Over the last week I have started to take action from the suggestions I have learnt already.

These such as:

• The FAST approach Forgetting negative experiences & protecting time for me to learn new techniques. Taking Action to improve my life, State: thinking more about my feelings, personal needs & of course as any student does Taking Notes!
• So from changing passwords to managing my personal expectations and stopping multi tasking it feels as if things are a little clearer already. Of course I want evidence to prove this so know if it is worth doing it already!
• Interestingly when I gave a speech last night at a big charity event and used some of these tips I found I wasn't holding on to my notes it just flowed naturally! I have had a lot of experience of public speaking over the years and having to change my short speeches at the very last minute for various reasons. However, it felt weird as I just thought go for it Aston leave the paper crutch you know this stuff!!
• Also, I was using remembering by association which drew together my visual, sound & logic skills and actually made it easier!

So this really so far feels good so fingers crossed keeps helping. However, 5 weeks to go so watch this space!

Think this interview with Bill has really helped me too so will share again!

How to remember names

As Bill always says learning is not complete until you give it away, so I am sharing with you all.

Thanks for reading.

Who is Kaz Aston & what does she do? #monarchyonline #msclearguide #rotary

After many recent emails & calls from potential clients looking for Public Relations (PR) & Social media strategy for their international & UK businesses feel it is helpful to highlight what I do in this area. Of course, every project, conference or campaign is different but, often has similar goals or strategic priorities.

2016 has already generated an extensive range of opportunities to help both UK or international companies and my own personal charitable efforts for education with #Monarchyonlineorg, the London #MSClearguide & Rotary International, UK & London where I am a member of the historic Rotary Club of London based in Mayfair and the City.

So what actually can I do or am currently doing to help businesses?

You might have noticed I am very active on social media in particular with my four accounts on Twitter with @kazaston @monarchyonline1 @RotaryLondonSM @msclearguide that collectively have over 2 million followers. Also, I share information on facebook, LinkedIn, google plus and make short films for youtube where I have 143 short education or promotional films https://www.youtube.com/my_videos?o=U.

As far as projects and positions currently I work and have for the last five years as an editor of a healthcare magazine and recently taken a new appointment as an associate editor for the British Medical Journal (BMJ) Open Heart online cardiology global publications.

Also, I support UK & International  businesses, government organisations and charities with Public Relations (PR), social media strategy and marketing as an independent consultant.

As a Community Specialist Practitioner registered for over 20 years currently works with Kolabi.com for Digital Medicine Software Development, the UK largest MS Centre based in London and pharmaceutical companies for education conferences and PR.

Also an active global campaigner and the author & creator of the ‘Monarchy Clear Guide’ & ‘MS Clear Guide’ together with supporting charitable organisations, websites, social media platforms that receive positive testimonials from readers daily.

To promote awareness & understanding for campaigns I use Websites, TV, Radio, Short Films, Fashion, Sport & Global Social Media Campaigns to broadcast associated features or popularise brands hashtags #, to trend or go viral on twitter. Recently have been working with the Music Industry with pop stars Matt Goss and Justin Timberlake’s teams for social media PR.

As the current London Rotary Club PR & Communications chair working with online audiences of over 20 million people for social media campaigns and as CEO of Monarchy online have agreed, continued support for the rotary club of London in 2016 from http://www.monarchyonline.org. 
Also, to help Rotary support the London clubs with social media strategy and in 2016 will be helping Rotary International & Rotary UK PR teams for Rotary Image. Collectively these areas are really interesting on many levels and help with global education, charity campaigns and business development.

Please just contact me if you feel we may have synergy for business or can collectively support important marketing, humanitarian or education needs.
