Valuable PR lessons I learned from watching “The Office”

I dreamt about being a movie star someday, or even a singer, and receiving what I thought was the highest recognition anyone could ever receive. However, here I am, 20-some years later, working in public relations and writing this blog post about those dreams.While I may never win an Oscar or a Grammy, I do get to help craft meaningful award submissions on behalf of my clients.
