If you are interviewing right now and part of the interview process is to "come up with a strategic plan, creative concept, sample content, etc." YOU ARE DOING WORK FOR FREE and being taken advantage of.
I know there are millions of people who need work right now, but your ideas, your strategic insight, and your work should always be paid for.

As PR people, our job now is to not only tell stories of the brands and agencies we work for, but to hold them accountable. If you got your company in a story this past month that said they are going to hire more black people and invest in diversity training, don't just place that story, ask leadership monthly, weekly, and daily what the progress is on their promise.
This is how YOU show up in the world, not just the company and clients you work for.

My Monday LinkedIn feed is full of "experts at empathy," "self care is where you should focus," and "are you a compassionate leader?"
I'm so in on all of this, but all of this is also making me go ARGH inside! True empathy, actual self care, and learning to lead with compassion are WORK. Work that needs to be done on your own timeline and for yourself before you can practice with others.
So, on this Monday, in July, in 2020 consider this... if you're surviving you're thriving. Don't compare yourself to everyone else on the internet (which I know is much harder than we think). YOU DO YOU.

For everyone worrying about what everyone else thinks and questioning if you’re doing the right thing right now...
This is 2020. There are NO RULES. Do what makes you happy.

Deep thoughts Friday... What's one thing you did before the pandemic (like part of your everyday life), that you won't do after? And what's something new that you're doing now that you'll keep doing?
Something I won't go back to... drying my hair every day. In my mind, straight hair equaled professionalism (bring on the curls!).
Something new that I'm going to keep doing... walking meetings. I'm walking 4-6 miles a day (sometimes on a call, sometimes listening to my favorite playlist), but being outside (mask on!) is good for the mind and body.
