On May 14,  independent communication pros representing a broad range of industries gathered for the weekly #solopr Twitter chat. These diverse pros discussed the following topics of interest:

1. What do you do when you have to work w/another agency as part of client assignment, and they don't play nice?
2. You may have seen the family drama involving Beyonce, Jay Z and Solange: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/style-blog/wp/2014/05/12/solange-attacks-jay-z-in-an-elevator-as-beyonce-adjusts-her-dress-video/?tid=pm_pop Beyonce and Jay Z haven't commented on the story. When is it OK to stay silent, and when must you comment?
3. Summer is around the corner- how do you adjust/manage schedule when life needs more attention?
4. Fellow #solopr @ArikHanson has a new post on PR and control: http://www.arikhanson.com/2014/05/14/the-dark-side-of-pr-thy-name-is-control/o you think we have control these days?  Do you think we have control these days?
