“Happy” by Pharrell

Start off the day with a positive and upbeat song.  “Happy” is sure to leave you in a better mood and ready to take on your work.

PR professionals are expected to pitch to potential clients and give presentations to current clients.  While public speaking can be stressful, “Brave” will give you the confidence to perform your best and leave a lasting impression.

“Story Of My Life” by One Direction

Another important aspect of working in public relations is having a positive online presence.  Get inspired to build your own brand on social media while listening to “Story of my Life.”
