Today I had a rather strange thought. As I walked into a funeral home feeling extremely somber and out of sorts, I was greeted at the door by a staff member of the funeral home. Now this has happened many times before when I have walked into a funeral home, but today it struck me. Maybe it is because I am so focussed on my career right now, or maybe I just needed something to distract me from how I was really feeling. But, I looked at the woman, and I thought, you know you should probably go into Public Relations. I mean these people deal in a type of crisis mode everyday. They have to show a calm presence at all times and truly look the part of the professional. They also plan “events” and deal with upset people all of the time. Public Relations professionals could learn something from them. I mean no disrespect in what I am saying, but it just struck me as odd. Funeral home employees are a kind of Public Relations person. Just a thought. Have a good week everyone.
