I’m an introvert who operates best when alone. I have gained so much knowledge about the PR industry, agency life, and the fast-paced world of tech, but best of all, I have gained new friends and mentors who will always be there to cheer me on. Working on a team where each person is dependent on others was a shock to my system.

Handling a company’s image sounds like a daunting yet exciting goal because PR is the one steering the ship in the right direction, and I’ve learned that I am a part of that ship. As an introvert, I love and need time to unwind in the evening either through watching shows, like Bob’s Burgers, or playing a game, like Stardew Valley!

Women, introverts, and others who might bring a fresh, much-needed outside perspective all too often go heard, having trained themselves into quietness. If you’ve had a lot of PR and buzz around your product, the problem may run deeper. The best PR and marketing can do is keep you in the game. It’s human nature.

Your PR efforts have worked and you’ve landed your first TV interview. If by nature you are introverted and shy, do not try to come off like a rock star. Trouble is, this is a first. You’ve never been interviewed before, nor have you had media training – and your interview is tomorrow. Do not put on an act. That will not work.

Being a camera-shy introvert, I’ve got a profound respect for anyone prepared to step out into the spotlight. From a PR coach’s perspective, these ideas are generally too biased to be helpful. I’ve been training spokespersons and pitching their stories since 2005. It’s supposed to be raw, unedited.
