‘No Job Is Worth Your Mental Health’

It was my pleasure and privilege to appear with Advita Patel (Comms Rebel) and Emily Stanislaus (Staffbase) for a LinkedIn Live conversation about mental health for comms professionals.

We discussed:

• Why it’s important for comms pros to talk about mental health

• Buuuuuuuurnnnnnooouuttt

• Setting boundaries

• What to do if it’s all too much

Watch the replay here.

The Results Are In

Last week I asked you to let me know what you’d like to learn more about and the results are in ⬆️.

I had a feeling … whether it’s a webinar, on Twitter, or in one-on-one chats, the topic of when and how to respond to socio-political issues is always there. I’ve been thinking about this for a little while and I have some ideas.

So the next big essay I’ll do will address the top-voted issue. And because it was a close second, I’ll write about how to manage an editorial workflow after that.

🗳️ Thanks for voting!

1/15 On July 27 I was invited to give a guest lecture to students in the MS in Strategic Communications program at Columbia University. It was my third time doing so, but until now I hadn’t shared notes from such a privileged appearance.
