Special Post By Publicist R. J. Garis
One of the clients I am most proud to have had the honor of representing is Nichelle Nichols from the Star Trek TV series and films ... In 1966 Dr. Martin Luther King went to visit Nichelle who was then playing Lt. Uhura on Star Trek. It was the height of the civil rights movement, Malcolm X had been assassinated, yet every week, Americans watched a black woman on television. She wasn't playing a background role, but a lieutenant, one of the leaders on a Starship. However, after Season 1, Nichols wanted to quit the show to go back to Broadway - but Dr. King convinced her otherwise and she stayed. Nichelle told Dr. King she wished she could be marching out there alongside him. King replied, 'No, no, no, you don't understand. We don't need you to march. You are marching. You are reflecting what we are fighting for.'

Play For Longevity - Chess Not Checkers
Ditto ... "It’s a combination of thinking long term and putting in the work. We work hard. And, you know, if you’re negotiating with someone, you’re going to be negotiating with them six months down the line, so you can’t burn the bridge. And if you’re going to take care of someone, take care of them. If something bad comes along, don’t look at it in the moment, look at it as what it will mean five years down the line. This is an opportunity for you to make the right decision. The other secret of longevity, which I say to my clients and artists and friends, is don’t think you’re bigger than the moment. Being a star, it’s hard to get there, you’ve got to maintain it to hold on to it."

Is Your Media Game On?
Radio, TV and print media are not taking any breaks! In fact, there are more interview and feature opportunities now than before Covid-19 because so much is closed. For example, we just booked a radio interview for an author client on a show that has 4.4 million listeners! Think that's good for book sales? In other words, now is NOT the time to be standing still. Smart entrepreneurs, authors and experts are using this as an opportunity to get a major edge on the competition. We are helping our clients affordably reach millions of people. Interviews are being safely done by phone, Skype and Zoom. So, don't let this be downtime - get you media game on!

A Brief Window Is Coming
Your chance for that fun and exciting dream job is coming up! When this shut-down ends - EVERY business that had to let people go will be hiring. You can likely move up to a better company or into an entirely new line of work. Many jobs that were once almost impossible to get will suddenly open up. The hiring equation will flip - instead of 50 applicants for five openings, it will be 50 openings for five applicants. Use this time to prepare. Polish up your resume, and make a strategic target list of where you would most like to work. Clean up your social media (yes, potential employers look), take some professional photos and present the image of a person working in the job you are seeking. In other words, be ready to move very fast when the doors open again. This is literally going to be a once in a lifetime opportunity! If you need some personal image advice - we're here.

Don't Do This!
With the current Coronavirus emergency, it has become painfully obvious which people and businesses are using auto-posting services for their social media. Many of the posts are very inappropriately timed, and clearly insensitive. Extremely bad PR. Not to mention, it is outing all the auto posters!
