What makes the best first impression today? Many people would say it’s your clothing, hair, makeup or posture. Really? Let’s think about it during the pandemic and in this social media-dominated marketplace. Don’t you also look up people online and see what their Twitter, Facebook, website bios say? This might not be the first step for your friends and family; however, it certainly is the first impression press professionals consider.
In June, I hosted Friday calls at 1 pm Eastern. Participants overwhelmingly said what was most valuable to them was our breakout sessions. We will do those again in July! If you missed June’s challenge, there is no reason to catch up on June’s content, because we’ll create it all fresh in July. However, for those of you who do have time and interest, here’s a rewind:

There’s an old saying in whitewater kayaking, which has been my hobby since 1996, “The river is always different, so the ride is always new.” Consider, the Friday calls will be like this as well. The news cycles are always changing, too. You might recognize the workbook, however, your life and business changes from month to month, week to week, and day to day. Therefore, the calls will be different, just like ever-changing river flow. While I have content in mind for July, the majority of the #21DayPRActionGuide is what you are doing out in life. The call is the huddle. Make it your structure for business growth, personal growth, or whatever calls to you. It’s free! It’s for you.
