A Much Needed Appreciation

It’s really refreshing to notice more people in all industries (especially PR) are appreciating the conscious and deliberate action of their employees, friends, managers, coworkers and interns living life: traveling, meeting culture shock at its door step, experiencing other parts of the world that aren’t labeled “work.”

I see more people getting hired after they come back from a 3 month trip to Napal or Beijing than I do college students holding a diploma. I’m not arguing the significance of a diploma, I’m simply stating a trip to a new location (for whatever reason) offers you more to talk about and people are generally, oh, hell, they’re always more interested in hearing about your unique experiences than your time in school.

Forget work and balance. Just focus on life. It resonates more.
