At some point in everyone’s career, you reach a point where you feel like you’ve really accomplished something. Maybe when you’re a young PR pro getting your first national clip … or a seasoned veteran who finally — after years of lobbying — convinces management that the communication team deserves a seat at the decision-making table.
