Featured in Success Magazine

Success Magazine Feature

As a publicist and author, I am always so excited to see my clients in the press. When a client is happy, I am happy. 

And yesterday, I had the opportunity to be featured in the national press as well on Success.com (as well as the print August 2017 issue), a leading business, and marketing magazine read by millions of entrepreneurs worldwide. The article where I was quoted discussed how we can keep things professional when we are attending important work functions. 

When it comes to being social at work events, it's important to be polite and diplomatic without oversharing. 

You can read about an encounter I had a work event as well as the entire article How to Keep it Professional here.
