What I loved about Shannon's talent is that it's rare. I speak to my clients all the time about PR hooks for their businesses and how to get great PR news stories – the concept of selling in a story or finding a news angle is a powerful one but it's not often it comes naturally. This is exactly what this blog and campaign was set up for, to inspire people to find the talents that others have. Do you have a talent for finding a good angle? Do you use your intuition or gut instinct to 'feel' your way through your business and home decisions? Then Pink Expertise wants to hear from you! Shannon has answered the questions below and if you can too – then e-mail them to me, lynette@pinkskills.co.uk. For now, I'll let Shannon take centre stage!
1. What talent do you naturally have that makes you successful?
I have a gut instinct on what's a good news story. (My former news director once called it 'the best BS Detector in news'.) It's helped me craft great news stories for my public relations clients - getting them great media coverage - even on Oprah!
2. When did you first realise that talent was going to help you and how do you use it?
In my youth, I often used it for more evil purposes - to embarrass people who were bragging too much. Now, I am much better at using it for good, by helping good people find their voice, tell their story and be heard with the power of publicity.
