📢 Calling all current and emerging leaders: our March Lunch & Learn session is for you!

Join FPRA Pensacola for our March Lunch & Learn where we'll be discussing "From Awkward to Awesome: Turning Difficult Conversations into Breakthrough Moments" with Rachael Gillette, President and Founder, VMG Solutions.

Difficult conversations are an inevitable part of leadership and teamwork, yet many people avoid them because they feel uncomfortable or risky. In this interactive lunch-and-learn, participants will explore why these conversations matter and how avoiding them can quietly erode trust, performance, and relationships.

📢 Join FPRA Pensacola for our February Lunch & Learn featuring Nicole Allen, Learning Solutions Architect with Navy Federal Credit Union.

Modern PR requires more than strategy; it requires emotional discipline. In an environment shaped by social media, AI, and 24/7 response cycles, PR professionals are expected to absorb pressure while protecting reputation in real time. The Emotional Labor of Modern PR explores how these demands affect performance and outlines how leaders can better support teams operating in an always-on world.
