Inspiration for Thinking Outside the Box- Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, Neuroanatomist Why you should listen to her: Dr. Taylor uses her brain research and experience with her own stroke to inspire us to think creatively. "Although the stroke damaged the left side of her brain, her recovery unleashed a torrent of creative energy from her right. From her home base in Indiana, she now travels the country on behalf of the Harvard Brain Bank as the 'Singin' Scientist."

Media & Public Relations- Helpful Hint #1- Media Toolkit

The National Education Association (NEA) focuses on advancing public education at all levels of the educational system. The organization maintains a website rich with helpful resources. Although geared towards education, many of the resources are very useful to organizations with missions other than education.

In particular, the NEA has an online media tips toolkit that is a great place to start if you are looking to begin or enhance your media/public relations program. For example, their site contains guidelines on working with the media, outreach ideas (with sample documents you can tailor to your situation), writing a press release (with examples), tips for distributing your press release and advice on developing a press kit.

If you would like to view the toolkit, just click on the title to this post.
