Have you ever seen a subject matter expert featured in a news story and thought "wow, how'd they get coverage like that?" Sometimes it's luck. Sometimes the reporter sees something that the subject matter expert has shared and follows up. But sometimes, it's because they work with a publicist like our team. Doing work as a publicist has introduced me to numerous journalists and writers, so I was thrilled to collaborate with Edward on this piece and wanted to share it here -- hopefully it offers a little different perspective on the many tributes that have already been shared about Dolly Parton: https://www.forbes.com/sites/edwardsegal/2026/08/27/dolly-partons-10-leadership-lessons-for-business-executives/

This is how PR Shield was born:

In my Skool community, on Thursdays, we hold one another accountable to posting to LInkedin. Why? Because in the world of social media, Linkedin is a board room...and walking into a board room alone can be intimidating! So we do it together and share the link to our post in the comments section below. If you find someone's post interesting, then be sure to engage with it there (like, connect, repost...you know the drill). It's free to join and a good fit for any creator, founder, or leader who is looking to promote and protect their brand! www.skool.com/prshield

Has anyone else ever noticed this? It's why I started 5-star Fridays! Join for free at Skool.com/prshield
