If we’ve learned anything from awards shows, it’s that “acceptance speeches” can be truly inspiring moments or just “meh.” The point is, we remember the great ones and they become an indelible part of the speaker’s brand. Join Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) and my friend Steve Rohr to understand the fundamentals (and hacks) of giving stellar brief remarks and how to integrate your exec’s personal brand and character traits into their delivery. https://lnkd.in/gNmudyez

🎤 🎙 World PR Day I celebrate myself and all PR professionals across the globe for the essential role we play in shaping & profiling our institutions, fostering trust, and driving effective communication. We are all round people and carry all burdens of the institutions we represent. 📌 My appeal to you is to always brace yourself with knowledge and be ready to face every PR crisis with courage. 📌 🎯 2024 theme : "The Future of Public Relations in a Changing World."

Six months as Sarah Grap Public Relations… six months! It’s been a wild and rewarding journey filled with emotions that run the gamut - excitement, joy, fear, doubt - but what keeps rising to the top is gratitude. Gratitude that I had the courage to take a chance on myself. Gratitude for all the people supporting me. And gratitude for the clients who have entrusted me thus far. I’ve been reminded by my incredibly supportive life partner (shout out Christopher K. Grap) to remember to celebrate all the wins, big and small. The client wins are huge, but I’m also very appreciative of the small, every day wins I’m recognizing in my personal growth, which has accelerated greatly in this season of life. So cheers to taking a step back to reflect on all the wins throughout the past six months and looking forward to continuing on this rollercoaster of a journey. Thank you to everyone who continues to show up and support me - from the get-to-know-you and catch up coffees to the client recommendations - it’s been an amazing reminder to fill your circle with good people - those relationships are everything. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re wanting to connect for one reason or another - whether you’re on a similar path or curious about how I might be able to help you/your business. I never turn down a conversation with a cup of coffee!
