Your CV, LinkedIn, Website or blog should all form a cohesive summary of what you’re about. Conflicting versions of yourself on different outlets make your personal brand unclear.

One of the primary reasons people become disenchanted with public relations is because of what I call the grand slam mentality.

In public relations , sometimes the stars align and a story just writes itself. In public relations, the term “storytelling” has been co-opted to describe a kind of ideal standard for engaging blog posts and other content. It is media kryptonite.
