Client meetings...can't get through a week without Client meetings...can't get through a week without them when working inside of a PR agency. ⠀
⠀
Many of the professionals I meet and mentor get a few butterflies before client calls and meetings, especially if they're the ones leading them. ⠀
⠀
A quick tip I often share to calm any nerves: these meetings aren't about you. They're not about showing off or proving anything. They're about serving your client. Act from a place of service and a lot of the worry will fall away.
If we've learned anything over the past year abou If we've  learned anything over the past year about...⠀

➡️The need for taking a stand on racial inequality ⠀
⠀
➡️Taking care of mental health in the workplace ⠀
⠀
➡️Doing what's right when it's right ⠀
⠀
I encourage you to give your Black employees a mental health day as they grieve another senseless death of a Black man.⠀
⠀
When we say we can no longer stand for the status quo, this is one of the small steps we can take to dismantle it.⠀
⠀
Today is a day where our values get put to the test. Can everyone in your company see and feel yours?
You know what I love even more than having a #Pelo You know what I love even more than having a #Peloton? ⠀

Owning STOCK in Peloton. ⠀
⠀
Now, I’m not going to pretend that I’m an expert in investing, but I am incredibly passionate about building wealth, and in particular, building wealth among underserved and underrepresented groups like women and minorities. ⠀
⠀
Thanks to a lot of trial and error, a supportive community, my own desire to learn, access to knowledge and so many other factors that have put me where I am today, I know how to make wealthy decisions. ⠀
⠀
My best tip for making a wealthy decision? ⠀
⠀
An investment in yourself will absolutely outperform the stock market. Every. Single. Time. ⠀
⠀
Early on in my career, I was working three jobs and barely making ends meet. My investment was my time. Whenever I had a spare moment, I’d spend it learning, reading and improving my skills to propel my career forward. ⠀
⠀
Today, I’m lucky and grateful to have access to some of the best business mentors in the world.⠀
⠀
No matter how much you’re able to invest right now--whether its a book from the library or a new business idea, I encourage you to bet on yourself. I promise, it pays off. ⠀
⠀
As it’s #financialliteracymonth, I’m curious, what’s your best tip for making wealthy decisions?
Years ago, I had a mentor tell me I may not be cut Years ago, I had a mentor tell me I may not be cut out for the PR industry. ⠀
⠀
What happened?⠀
⠀
I’d mentioned I was trying to set boundaries and struggling with unrealistic expectations for results and responsibilities with too few resources. ⠀
⠀
Sound familiar to anyone? 🤪⠀
⠀
I guess that wasn’t something young professionals did at the time. ⠀
⠀
We were supposed to take everything that was handed our way and be thankful for the experience.⠀
⠀
I, unfortunately / fortunately, didn’t have that option. Working 12+ hours a day nearly every day had taken its toll on my health in ways that I had to take seriously. I also really loved PR, and I wasn’t ready to give up on it.⠀
⠀
So, here I was, no longer fresh eyed and bushy tailed in my career -- more like dark circled and drained -- having unprecedented conversations to reset appropriate boundaries and at the same time, fight for my career. ⠀
⠀
This was a key catalyst for me in not only looking for better ways to work, but creating them and today, sharing them with others. ⠀
⠀
I’m thankful that this industry is realizing that systems and “best practices” that rely on overworking the people around you aren’t efficient, they’re inhumane. ⠀
⠀
Do you have a catalyst moment from your career that’s set you on the path you’re on today?
