Great post! It’s so difficult to stand up for yourself at work, particularly if you’re young and just starting out in your career. But I think it’s important to be an advocate for yourself and stand up for things that matter to you…professionally and respectfully of course. Thanks for great insight!

Great stuff. And I think it’s great you have a Young Professionals Group. The Phoenix PRSA chapter also has a New Pros Special Interest Group, which is similar to your YPG.

Great post, Anne. Your idea exchange reveals a few ageless truisms. Notably, don’t assume and work-life balance matters. –Rob

Anne, thank you for sharing. As a young professional, I can agree with almost every statement here, especially #3…I love ending my day with a book instead of a computer! -Jordana (LCI)

We have several 20-somethings here. I think we subscribe to most of these — at least I hope we do. As a manager, a big part of it is treating each person as an individual and knowing that each person brings unique perspectives, needs and motivations; hence #2 above. They might have some similarities, but you can’t stereotype them.

Wish I could have been there to join! Sounds like you had a very productive discussion. Great idea for a young professionals PRSA group.
