Links

On PR:

Quick Tips for Crisis Management: In light of the terrible tragedy at the Boston Marathon on Monday, PR professional Lauren Cox put together a great post with tips for preparing for and reacting to potential crises. Lauren has spent the past few months working on major events (including the Philadelphia Marathon) for the city, so I was especially interested in her perspective on this.

On Social Media:

How to Contact Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Other Social Networks: Have you ever tried to find the contact information for a specific social network? It’s extremely difficult to actually get through to either a contact form or a real person. Kristi Hines of Kikolani breaks down the most popular social networks and shares links to forms for specific issues.

Get Started With Google+: I KNOW that I need to pay more attention to Google+ although I’ve definitely been putting it off. This comprehensive tutorial, put together by the one and only Chris Brogan, breaks down the social network and shares best practices for using it effectively.

On Life:

Why Being Jealous Sucks + How to Get Rid of That Evil Green Monster: There’s no denying it; jealousy affects everyone. Ashley from Your Super Awesome Life shares tips for how to get over being jealous in her latest video diary. I LOVE these tips and can’t wait to start using them.

Goals

  • Send out my first enewsletter! I promised myself once I surpassed 100 subscribers, I had to give myself a deadline of getting it out within that same month. April is quickly coming to a close, so I only have a few days left to get my act together and get gutsy enough to click send. Subscribe here to make sure you get the first newsletter I send out. 
  • Get back into strength training. With two weeks left before the Broad Street Run, I’ve been doing TONS of cardio (a 9 mile training run yesterday and a 5K race today!) but I’ve definitely been neglecting strength. I know how important strength is to ensuring I run a strong race on May 5, so I want to focus on that this week.
