Thinking Ahead: Building Skills Today for a PR Career on Your Own Tomorrow

Curious about what it takes to one day run your own communications practice? Even if going independent isn’t on your immediate horizon, there are steps you can take now to build the skills, experiences and mindset that will prepare you for that possibility in the future.

Join PRSA New Pros and the PRSA Independent Practitioners Alliance (IPA) for a candid panel discussion on the long-term path toward independence in public relations. Our panelists will share their experiences building successful practices and explore:

• The transferable skills from early career roles that set you up for consulting success
• How independent pros first found clients and built lasting relationships
• The importance of (or flexibility in) finding a niche
• What to expect in the transition from employee to business owner
• Practical advice for New Pros who may want to take the leap years from now

This conversation is designed for New Pros and other professionals who are focused on their careers today, but want to keep the door open to building their own practice one day.

Hosted by the New Professionals Section. Paid registration for non-New Professionals Section members includes the live webinar and video playback for one month.
