Three Ways Leaders Live Their Ethics

When I think of some of the greatest ethical leaders (the keyword here is “ethical”), a few immediately come to mind, based on what they’ve done for others.

“The methods and techniques taught in the [Media Training with a FEEL Lens] course are so versatile that they can be applied to any situation, whether on a social media, podcast, or television interview. Not only did I learn how to get noticed by different media channels, but I also learned how to manage myself during interviews — mind and body. I enjoyed the holistic approach to handling media interactions and believe that every professional and leader planning to be in front of a camera should take this media training with a FEEL lens.”

“I have had the opportunity to work with Deirdre Breakenridge through her firm, Pure Performance Communications, over the past four years. My initial exposure to Deirdre’s perspective was reading her book Putting the Public Back in Public Relations, which I found so inspiring, that I engaged her through Pure Performance. The leadership that Deidre provided me in terms of reputation rebuilding and rebranding remains foundational to my current practice and continues to be a pillar of my success. Deirdre is a pleasure to work with, well organized, and extremely sensitive and mindful of deadlines, as well as breaking down long term versus short term goals.”
