BML Public Relations’ Joan Bosisio on developing an ‘anything is possible’ mindset

How can you overcome your own skepticism about what is possible in your career?

For many PR pros, the last couple of years have prompted an internal reckoning and many are choosing to take a leap and try something new. But how can you work yourself up to take the plunge and advance to the next level?

It’s one of the career lessons that Joan Bosisio shared with PR Daily in our recent conversation for our Day in the Life series. Here’s what she had to say about her work—and what makes it work for her:

1. What’s your favorite part of your morning routine?

Bosisio: My day always starts off with a strong cup of coffee—I’m simply useless without it—followed by checking trending world news headlines (which is crucial as we’re an earned media shop obsessed with a good newsjack), but my favorite part of the day is seeing my son off to third grade.

2. Who’s the most important person you talk to every day?

Bosisio: It’s difficult to pinpoint one person, especially in the communications field. Multi-faceted perspectives from all levels of the organization are essential and often produce some of the best thinking.
