Let it be known; it doesn't matter in your executive CEO or entry PR professional. Networking will always be part of the key to success.@MetroPRMajors #Comm481 @BlkBookSuccess

Chapter 10 in @BlkBookSuccess is all about setting attainable goals, and this reminded me of my studies as a public relations student. Every good PR plan has excellent and achievable goals. @MetroPRMajors #Comm481

[Nakiya Austin-Stone @StoneNakiya]

Even as a student, The Little Black Book of Success, has provided me with skills I can work on before I step into the professional world. It feels like I'm a step ahead of the rest. Thanks, @BlkBookSuccess. @MetroPRMajors #Comm48

After last week's class, I want to work for a company willing to invest and help me grow, as I will do the same for that company. #comm481 #comm381 @MetroPRMajors

@bianca101 is an excellent example of making sure your job and personal seld care are balanced. Your job should not compromise your mental health. #Comm481 @MetroPRMajors

[Nakiya Austin-Stone @StoneNakiya]

@bianca101 Thanks for all the reassuring advice. We had a conversation on how imposer syndrome can get the best of all of us sometimes. It's good to remember your unique experiences and skills set you apart, and you have to go after what you want sometimes. @MetroPRMajors

[Nakiya Austin-Stone @StoneNakiya]

Great advice from a book I'm reading, if you have something wroth says, say it, no one will permit you to express your ideas in the business world.#TheLittleBlackBookOfSuccess @MetroPRMajors

Anyone can apply this statement to any skill they aspire. You don’t start with greatness; you work towards greatness. #Comm381 #Comm481 @MetroPRMajors

[Nakiya Austin-Stone @StoneNakiya]

I never thought I would cry during class. Thank you, @LindseySeavert , for speaking with #Comm481 and just being inspirational in your storytelling methods. @MetroPRMajors

[Nakiya Austin-Stone @StoneNakiya]

I can’t stress enough hearing this from another professional was great. Having boundaries and setting exceptions will help to make a more credible PR professional. Thanks, @SarahReckard.

Last bit of advice to share from Sarah Reckard. @MetroPRMajors

[Nakiya Austin-Stone @StoneNakiya]

@SarahReckard is another professional who has expressed doing an informational meeting with others in your desired field. I’ve always wanted to do one, but still a little nervous. #Comm381, if you’re brave enough, I encourage trying to do an informational meeting. @MetroPRMajors

Remember #comm481 for the final exam: Stories influence opinion, opinion shape behavior. @gz_ @MetroPRMajors

Communication tips that can help anyone. #comm381 #comm481 @MetroPRMajors

Yesterday, guest speaker Daniel Jasper of Mall of America encapsulated how storytelling can evaluate your communication, as he completely owned the room speaking with #Comm481.

[Nakiya Austin-Stone @StoneNakiya]

Shoutout to #comm381. Remember, remember, it may be hard now, but you’ll feel proud and happy you stuck with it when you finish. Stay on top of assignments and speak with your group members on all class projects, not just the RIPE plan. @MetroPRMajors

Linkedin is a lot more useful than I initially thought it was. Your LinkedIn page is just as important as your resume when conveying your story and showing your experience to future employers. #comm481 #comm381 @MetroPRMajors

[Nakiya Austin-Stone @StoneNakiya]

After processing @Kjir and @RoseMcKinneyPR words, I've realized research and making yourself marketable for your "dream job" occurs now. The job you are searching for now will be the jobs asking to have you in the future. #Comm481

[Nakiya Austin-Stone @StoneNakiya]

Can't wait for you all to meet Kjirsten Mickesh. To make the experience better between the speaker and us, let's engage in conversation and ask questions. Kjirsten is truly a delight to learn from. @MetroPRMajors #Comm481
