I still know PR professionals that haven't taken the SM leap, and the look on their face when it comes up tells me they are terrified and intimidated. I'm not sure why it's more scary than learning anything else new. I've seen these same people take on new industries like a dog to a bone. I wonder how we can alleviate that fear? And why is the intimidation so much stronger (to almost paralysis by some)? Is it because the PR pro is more front and center? I just got myself all curious. Uh oh. :) Get on with your bad self and tough love, Kellye!
