There’s got to be a more efficient way of matching practitioners with students, to support PR dissertations.
Are you a PR MA student, or teacher?
Please send me your requests for expert interviews, or surveys, and I’ll publish a list via my blog and Twitter.

Thanks for having me #PRStudChat. Great company and conversation. I'm off to #ICCOGlobalAwards with @Hallmeister, where I'm mostly be dodging bread roll fights with @PRCAIngham. Maybe see you there?
A10
Always be curious
Read & build a library
Listen fearless, even when you abhor what's being said
Lean in & smile; enthusiasm will take you a long way
Create content (writing is my thing)
Build a network
Be approachable and generous
Measure
Don't be a dick
#PRStudchat
A10 Manage your own professional development through learning and certification. It's an area where associations are adding increasing value. But go broader than PR and comms #PRStudChat
A9 Read, build a network, think out loud using a blog. Listen, and always be intellectually curious #PRStudChat
A8 Modern practitioners are aligning the measurement of their campaigns with the objectives of their organisation. There's no surer way of demonstrating your value. (And maxing your salary) #PRStudChat
A8 If you can't measure it, don't do it, unless you've a personal charitable or voluntary rationale #PRStudChat
There's no better way to learn. Humility is a fantastic personal development tool #PRStudChat
A7 Success is two @CIPR_UK Share This books, two #PRStack books; and #FuturePRoof (@Hallmeister's project) books and podcast. Find a community project and throw yourself into it #PRStudChat
A5 Professional associations provide access to ready made networks, and help drive standards. They need to work hard to be successful in 2017 #PRStudChat
A4. Hard word and delivering successful projects for your organisation are far more important that personal branding. That comes with time, if that's what you want #PRStudChat
A3
Getting ahead on social
#1 Pick a network (suggest Twitter or LinkedIn)
#2 Follow people in the industry
#3 Listen (for a month or so)
#4 Create your own content
#5 When you've built up confidence, engage.
#PRStudChat
A3 It is particularly powerful for a student. @marcelkl is a standout example #prstudchat
A3 Blogging (and building a network) is an incredible opportunity for any professional of any age #prstudchat
A2 The experience. Amazes me how few people get practical experience. There's no barrier but your need heaps of motivation. So blog, contribute to community projects, work for a campaign, volunteer... #PRStudChat
A2 A good grounding in theory increasingly helps. Foundation knowledge is increasingly important #PRStudChat
A1. And then authenticity and empathy - a clear sense of purpose is also important #PRStudChat
A1. Fearless listening, writing and good verbal skills are key to good communication IMHO #PRStudChat
Ready for #PRStudChat with @dbreakenridge and the @SpinSucks crew. Looking forward to an great hour of conversation. Please mute if that's not your thing.
