The lure to switch disciplines was strong but fear and uncertainty held her back. She wasn’t even on MSN Chat and Facebook then. After talking to many people, including Dirk Eschenbacher, the O One Regional CD at that time,(who was in town to inspire Ogilvians), she finally took the plunge.

Four years later Joelynn is glad she took that step as more and more people are consuming their media and even socialising online.
