Oh, good job. I'm excited to hear how that goes. I'm really excited about that. Um, I'm gonna look more into the sf curbed idea. I really like that, and I will teach my assistant how to do the horror thing for me, so I don't have. Trump. I love it. You can absolutely have. You know, if you have an assistant working for you, having them do some of the creative research, having them, you know, you have the message, but you can absolutely get help for that. That's. A great idea. Well, I'm so excited to hear the plans that you have for action, and I'm so excited to hear, you know, all of the media reach that people go out and doing the contributions, and I hope that you'll stay in touch with me and share them with me and with the folks here. Creative, live and share and celebrate your big pr winds with us, because we know that you're going to go out there and do great things.

I don't know what the other reviewers are talking about - this is a gold mine of information for someone like me, who is very unfamiliar with PR! I can see this helping me out in many facets of my business. Brigitte is an excellent speaker.

Good information. As a women, fashion Stylist who worked for big advertising campaigns like BMW, Nivea... I can´t get over the part that what your wear is part off your success! It makes her for me less believable!
