You are continually establishing, building and maintaining trust and rapport.

Why Doesn’t the Press Call, email, Text, Tweet?
PR/publicity folks are just like every trend follower..always ready to jump to the next "new/hot" thing. In their case to prove they are like way in front of the communications curve. Blogging? Fading. Facebook Like page (Fan page is out), Tweety? Oh yeah! Writing clean/concise/meaty releases, checking the Press Web Site? That is so yesterday!!! So what if the site is where media folks go to find/get news/data and where they go to get contact info? Just because the lowly company press room is pivotal for everyone, everywhere why should the person leading the charge stoop to make certain the company's press site had just the right information and that the information is easily available, fresh.

Ways to sparkle in tough times
My old college roommate recently asked me if she still has the "shine" factor. On a quest for a new job in this difficult market, she wanted to know if she embodied that "sparkle" she used to have when we were just entering the workforce after graduation. As a career coach, I advised her that to be a star and advance in this current economy, she may need to pull out some extra glitter and go well beyond the normal call of duty. Here are some other tips that I shared with her:

Wisdom vs. Knowledge

Don’t Waste Your Talent
As I watched the football play-offs over the last few days, it struck me how we need to consider our talents and how they fit into this game called life.

Did you know that your conscious thoughts are responsible for approximately 2-4 percent of your results. And your subconscious or habitual way of thinking and behaving is responsible for 96% to 98% of your results? The truth of the matter is information gathering happens in our conscious mind.
