Happy Thanksgiving!

Even a high energy PR team needs a day off now and then to pause and recharge its batteries.

But the holidays always seem to bring last-minute special event assignments and — sometimes — crisis management tasks. While good for business, such last-minute work can test the holiday spirit of even the most cheerful PR pro.

That's when it's time to do what you do best: think strategically and get organized. That can help even the most harried pro get through this season and still leave time for celebration.

Wishing everyone a joyous Thanksgiving! May the events you're managing be happy ones!
