If this business were solely about a paycheck, it wouldn't be worth it. There are better paying jobs. If you have been reading these thoughts for the week, you realize that I am in a slump. Like the batter who can't hit, the pitcher who can't get an out and the golfer whose putts hang on the edge of the cup, I'm in one of those periods when nothing goes right. It seems like everything I do and say is wrong.
Slumps happen in PR as in every walk of life.
We don't need to spook clients and colleagues. Slumps are a communicable disease. If you're in a slump, the person next to you can go into one too. And the next one and the next. PR has to retain a sense of optimism no matter how bad things get.
