Crisis or Shenanigans

Just a girl, standing in front of the internet, sharing some wit and wisdom.

So few crises, SO. MANY. SHENANIGANS

I chose public relations as my college degree mostly because my college counselor said I had to pick a focus – and he insisted I would never be bored in PR.

Sir. You are a soothsayer.

More than 25 years later, I’ve had the distinct privilege to work in a variety of industries, with some of the best teammates in the world, addressing topics and answering questions I’m sure none of us ever imagined. Some are hilarious. Some are gross. Some leave me asking, “What in the world?!” Some are heartbreaking. But behind them all are great lessons of tomfoolery, decision making, humanity, and resilience.

And while these situations are often dramatic in the moment, I’ve come to learn that – thanks to the nonstop wackiness of the world – there are very few crises, but there are a LOT of shenanigans.

And I’m excited to share them with you.
