I think this is the most important lesson here. Treat people like people and you'll do fine. Forget that they're people and you're in trouble. “PR is about making people understand why they matter – not social media.”

I think this is the most important lesson here. Treat people like people and you’ll do fine. Forget that they’re people and you’re in trouble.

Your willingness to be transparent and open to change made this a very insightful post. As painful as it is to see yourself in this situation, it is a great gift because now you know that you have not reached your potential. I deal with these kinds of situations with people all the time. You are fortunate that you are young and at the beginning of your career. Imagine having the same experience twenty years from now. I use a set of three diagrams to help people work through the range of issues that hit them at times like this. You can download them for free at http://edbrenegar.typepad.com/AllIMPACTDiagrams.pdf. The first one is simply a visual depiction of life lived through stages of growth. The second one a picture of the three dimensions of leadership and their relationship to impact creation. The third a tool for asking four questions that help us think more clearly about what we want to achieve. I also have a short YouTube video of me talking about the Four Questions at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnNVptJnbHQ . They may help you process what you have experience the past few days. Thank you for sharing your experience. I wish you well. Sydney,
