You have all the tools you need in your toolbox — you just need to know whether to pick up a hammer or a screwdriver.

So what are you waiting for?

You already have your degree — all you need is the confidence to go out and show off what you already know to others.

But when it comes to working with the media — there are a few simple steps you’ll need to take to let writers, editors and producers know you’re out there and they are WAITING FOR YOU TO GET IN TOUCH WITH THEM!

Believe it or not:

Media needs your help and they want to connect with the right people, too. 🙋🏻

Working with media is a 2-way street! TV stations, online and print magazines and radio shows have spaces they need to fill and audiences they need to inform. They would welcome professionals like you, who can provide credible, reliable advice that helps without hype.

I have worked with RDs that are held back from reaching out to media because they rely on negative self-talk (“Oh why would they want to work with me? I don’t have any experience.”) instead of self-confident comments (“I’ve got to reach out to that reporter because my idea about how to XYZ would be perfect for their publication.”)

When its comes to reaching out to get your name in the news — be careful not to become afflicted with Imposter Syndrome! It’s deadly — but there is a cure. I can help talk you down from the proverbial imposter ledge…but in the meantime, jot down some ideas about where you’d like to see your name appear, who are your favorite journalists, what style do you like to write in (scientific, consumer-friendly, professional with a combo of fun?)
