Many public speakers are reluctant to offer an overt “call to action” at the end of their speeches. For whatever reason, many speakers feel uncomfortable telling the audience precisely what they want them to do after their speeches end.
I’ve heard people tell me that they don’t want to...

When you ask employees, they want to be able to connect with their leader—today more than ever before. Employees want to know what you have to say; they also want to know what you stand for.
Authenticity starts with self-awareness. You need to know yourself and be comfortable sharing who you are with your...

Today’s guest post is written by Lisa Gerber.
I wrote the first draft of this post by hand.
I’m trying something new: I’m going to occasionally step away from the devices, limit distractions, and reflect.
This is much easier said than done and I”ll explain why in a minute.
But first, the reason...

We all know that infographics are the in, cool thing to do.
Create a simple, compelling graphic and everybody will “get” your story. Customers love them. Marketers and PR folk love them. Media love infographics — sometimes so much that they’ll use whatever image that marketing/PR teams give...

As you would expect from any major tech trade show, last week’s Interop event in Las Vegas generated quite a bit of buzz around new announcements, technology innovations and partnerships. But, one thing I didn’t expect to see so much coverage around was the continued use of “Booth Babes.” While...

Search Engine Marketing (SEM) is all about catching Web users’ attention with a message that is highly relevant to what they are searching for. Of course, you only have 130 visible characters with which to work (that’s less than a Tweet), so it’s not always easy to fit everything you want to say...

One more thing to do before declaring the school year finished: Apply for scholarships.
This is the scholarship application season, and I’ve heard that only a fraction of eligible students take the time to apply for scholarships–many of which don’t require much effort. I sponsor one of those...

After recently reading Walter Isaacson’s biography of Steve Jobs, I finished with more than few thoughts about Jobs, Apple, the business, and of course, public relations. Isaacson, who authored books about Albert Einstein, Benjamin Franklin and Henry Kissinger, took on the challenge of writing the Jobs...

American workers are not taking all of their vacation time. And when they do, they are not 100% off-the-clock because they are distracted by the gadgets and gizmos that connect them to the world that they have planned to leave behind. But, there is a new trend emerging to truly disconnect us from our working world:...

I espoused the virtues of the humble news release as a link-building tool to Mashable some time ago and continue to believe in this tactic.
We apply this thinking in cultivating our own brand.
For example, we distributed a news release on our new U.S. general manager last week that generated syndicated pickup in a...

I attended the annual dinner of the Atlantic Council in Washington, D.C. this week. There are significant challenges facing government leaders as a result of ease of communications, which is politicizing the world’s people. People today believe they can make a difference.

Back in the 1970s, there was a vision of a paperless office; whilst the futurist, Alvin Toffler predicted increased technology was creating information overload. The reality is that we’re using more paper than ever – alongside an ever exploding volume of online content. I’m sure I could find data to...

In this election year, I’ve been on fear watch. Folks are fearful of everything from 2012 theories to GMOs to student loans taking over as the No. 1 source of pain for college grads everywhere. A few years ago, I talked at length about the cult of anger our country...

Hating the Murdochs is a sport in some quarters. It is almost all the old British left has left. Socialism is not doing well, but loathing Thatcher and her biggest media supporters still resonates. In the case of culture secretary Jeremy Hunt, we have what looks like the perfect mirror-image foolishness from the...

Pitching a new media contact is a lot like an awkward first date. You don’t know enough about the other person to know what buttons not to push or what will score you major points.
