HOW TO Succeed in a pr agency
Contributing author to an amazing text on how to not only survive PR agency life, but thrive. Authored by Kristin Johnson and Shalon Roth, How to Succeed in a PR Agency is a must-read text for PR newbies and industry veterans alike. I’m thrilled to be able to lend a voice to chapter 12: Aspiring Toward Authenticity.
Chapter 12: Aspiring Toward Authenticity: Who are you? What do you stand for? How do you want to be perceived Yes, the soul-searching starts now. Whether it’s your first day in PR or your tenth year, you’re going to end up in a position where a power dynamic with a client, colleague, or superior will make you feel that they have more authority or knowledge than you. Most people’s automatic response is to stiffen up, be overly formal, polite and agreeable, shamelessly suck-up, and never ask questions. But that doesn’t actually work. It’s critical to your success on day one to be authentic and this chapter outlines ways to do just that.

Social Media Week Chicago
When I'm not sharing my personal journey, I like to talk to other smart people about theirs. And that's exactly what I did two years in a row at Social Media Week Chicago. As a moderator, I work hard to get past the fluff in order to understand what drives and motivates innovators, originals and visionaries to do what they do.
Google me
Yep, I'm a narcisurfer. I Google myself often as part of maintaining my personal brand. You can Google me too and you'll find quotes from my discussions or post-event interviews in these lovely and fine publications. You'll probably get some Walmart stuff too. Just ignore the mugshots - those aren't me! I promise.
