This week, our hosts Kristine Simpson and Julia Kent are joined by William Johnson. We profiled Will in our Who to Follow series last month. Will is a communications, event management and student affairs professional at Carleton University in Ottawa. When he is not in the office, he is busy blogging and tweeting.
We invited Will to choose the topic for this show and we are glad we did. This week, we profile non-PR books that provide PR lessons. It is interesting to see the lessons that came out of each book, but it is also interesting to see the variety of books that were mentioned in the episode.
We started with Julia who shared lessons of media, government and consumer relations from The Hunger Games.
Then, Will shared his lesson of communicating clear and concise messages from Nelson Mandela: Portrait of an Extraordinary Man by Richard Stengel.
And finally, Kristine shares the lesson of hard work from Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson.
You can tell by the laughter that we truly enjoyed having Will on the show and are excited for his next visit!
