PUBLIC RELATIONS AND GOSSIP
Five tips to be a good gossip:
-Always speak positively (Business is great; my relationship is great, etc.)
-Put yourself at the center of positive news
-Become the center of networking, both personally and professionally. Whether it’s forwarding on a great note or helping to organize an event, make gossip work for you so you are seen as a “connecter” or cultural epicenter
-When spreading the word about something, know how to play the old game of “telephone tag” – Know how to get a message (to your boss, boyfriend, etc.) across indirectly, which ultimately makes them “get the message”
-Be relevant, well-read and “cared about.” Speak about interesting topics that make people want to hear your thoughts.
