Tomorrow I am attending a session sponsored by PRSSA-NCC on moving from PR Manager to PR Leader. I thought it would be interesting to provide my pre-workshop thoughts…. Management vs. leadership–it’s a distinction we all hear over and over these days. They are not the same, but mus[...]

“No” is the New “Yes”
More than ever we are prisoners of the urgent. We react to what’s right in front of us, whether it truly matters or not. Prioritizing requires reflection, reflection requires time. And, well you just don’t have the luxury of that now do you? We are so busy trying to keep up that we don&#[...]

The Busy Season: Taking Control of Your To-Do List
Each December I am completely caught off guard by the mad dash to the finish line. I don’t know what it is about the Holidays that lull me into a false sense of calm. This year I am following the below outline to make it through without completely breaking down. Write it all down. Put everythin[...]

Finally Answering the Feedback Question
One of the hallmarks of a millenial is that we don’t take feedback very well. We roll our eyes, stare blankly at the person or just flat out don’t listen. And when someone asks how we would prefer to get feedback there is no response. Literally we can’t articulate what they want.[...]

Defying the Odds, Tim Tebow Style
So we all know I am a HUGE Tim Tebow fan. There is just no love lost once you meet him, shake his hand, and watch him take your university to two National Championships. A lot of what makes Tim such an impressive player is his determination. He knows he has weaknesses, but he works [...][...]

Should I Stay Or Should I Go Now
I’m one of those people that works late. I typically start my day (even when I was working IN the office) no later than 8:20 a.m. and often don’t get finish up until after 7:30 p.m. First off, let me say I am NOT complaining, it is the nature of my job, which I love. [...][...]

Managing Accounts as a Defensive Specialist
I’ve been a little MIA lately, between work exploding and wedding finalization I was just a wee-bit overwhelmed. During that time, I got a pep talk from a supervisor who I have to say has an uncanny ability to pick the right words and truly light a fire under you. The pep talk got me [...][...]

Yoga Teachings that Apply to Work
I started taking yoga regularly about four years ago. Not only did I actually start sleeping better, but I started applying some of what I learned to my working life. Every day is different and is its own day—One of the things that the yoga instructors like to say is that no two days on [...][...]

Gracefully Accepting Feedback
We’re all a little sensitive when it comes to receiving feedback, especially when it is not all positive. Some experience feedback as pure criticism, and don’t want to hear it. Others see it as emotionally crushing. Still others only want to hear praise. For me, the problem isn’t that I don’[...]

The Path to Creativity
Most of our lives consist of habits. We walk/drive to walk along the same route. In meetings, we sit in the same seat and at restaurants, we order the same dish. Generally, if you do something right and well the first time it is a good idea to do it that way again. Unfortunately, that [...][...]
