Make sure your writing skills are top notch. Writing is the core skill for publicists and without good, basic skills, you’ll be behind the eight ball. Also, make sure you know the media landscape. It’s so important to understand the outlets you’re pitching.
I had the pleasure of interviewing Annie Scranton, President & Founder of Pace Public Relations.

On any given day, Pace PR has multiple clients on national TV — something that isn’t easy! …
…There is no substitute for putting in the work. A mentor of mine used to say, “get paid to get your reps in”. You can watch and critique others and yourself for hours (and you should!), but there’s nothing like getting up every day and grinding away yourself. That’s how you get better. Hard work + preparation are my secret weapons and the cool part about them, is everyone can access those instruments.

Mourn first. You gotta face your feelings head-on. It’s easy to take girls trips, go on drinking binges, or even jump into a new relationship. But these distractions are just delaying your healing process.

“There’s so much that may go into who get’s the job, that sometimes it has nothing to do with you being the best actor.”

Israel, Esq. and in the Netflix special series “Godless” which has been named one of the 10 Best New series of 2017.

Elisa and her best friend Oscar winning actress Viola Davis have appeared in four projects together over the years including episodes of “How to Get Away With Murder.’’ …
Stay ready. You always want to be prepared for what you ask for and when the opportunity comes, you have to be ready. I missed out on some great opportunities in the beginning of my career because I wasn’t “ready.”

Angela Saverice-Rohan, EY Consulting
“More responsibility, more money. I’m still working on this myself. But it’s well documented that women generally don’t negotiate as hard or as much in salary discussions. When I started my first job, I learned that a man who was hired at the same time and same level held out for more money, “just because.” When I left that job, I learned a (different) man who was doing the same job as me was earning about 30% more. It’s not easy, but it’s something I wish I had thought about more earlier in my career.”
