Key Takeaways
- As an industry, we need to keep advancing our cause and making sure we are relevant to our clients by making sure they are relevant to their customers and employees.
- When we focus on the earned part of our work, the other communications functions work harder.
- We have a responsibility as PR professionals to make sure we don’t contribute to fake news.
- Curiosity is your best weapon for your career. Pay attention to what’s happening around you and then share what you observe. When you can tie together the things you observe, you are relevant.
- Writing skills are what separate the best from the rest in a communications career. If your writing isn’t on par, take a writing class.
- Ladies, learn to speak up for yourself and stop saying apologizing – unless you are late.
- If you see something in the workplace that you think is wrong, say something in a professional way and suggest a solution.
