Great Leaders serve others so if you find yourself only serving yourself, get out of your box and find someone to guide and help #K12PRChat

sabrinakapp Mar 21 @ 8:13 PM EDT

What if you didn't think of them as biz models/profit centers but instead PR/Comm pros telling diff stories to diff audiences? #k12prchat

bsnicol2 Mar 21 @ 8:12 PM EDT

This is a stretch for me, but I get it. My teacher heart has a hard time with business models. I loathe profit motives.
