Why I put my own work forward.

Quote from Talia Beckett Davis, founder of Women in PR North America: women are often comfortable championing others, but recognition also requires being willing to put your own work forward. The expertise is there. The results are there. Nobody can see them, because the founder never said it plainly. Nominate her. A woman building something in communications, marketing or business. Open until 30 November, self-nominations welcome.

Know another woman building something worth seeing? Self-nominations are welcome too, at womeninpr.com.
