Public Relations in Real Life

I’m still figuring out exactly what that is. This is what I’ve got so far: 

• Branding
• Marketing
• Crisis Management
• Publicity
• Management
• Keeping everything cool and calm
• Hyping people up
• It’s keeping it classy, being a lady or a gentleman and having everyone else think that’s just the way it is
• It’s designing the media to reflect culture (or is it the other way around?)

Generally….it’s fantastic. It’s being both a professional optimist and a professional realist. It’s knowing exactly who you are and what you’re capable of. It’s getting people to the right place at the right time and having it all seem like happy coincidence. 

I’m looking forward to being a fairy godmother for a living. Who doesn’t want a career where they keep people happy and informed? Yes…I’d like one of those, please.
