I probably send, receive, and respond to hundreds of client work-related emails every day, but there are some that cause me to stop, smile, and savor the message in the moment. I had two such experiences this week. One email came from a reporter I’ve been working with on an important article who wrote, “Thank you so much! It’s always great to work with a professional, especially one who is so good at it! Makes my life much easier…”. The other was from the CEO of a #CKCAgency client responding to an email from me to her team highlighting media coverage we’d secured who replied, “Fab!! Carolyn rocks!!” I’ve been doing what I do for more than 40 years…but receiving such nice, unexpected recognition and appreciation for my efforts never (ever!) gets old. – Carolyn Krieger
