I worked for two months to get one of my articles placed in this influential industry publication. And now it's happened. Check out 6 Lame Excuses for Not Communicating.

I feel pretty good about it -- about the article itself and just the sense of accomplishment after banging my head against this thing for so long.

That's five articles now published in various trade and industry media in the last six weeks:

• 6 Lame Excuses for Not Communicating, PR Daily, 9/12/11
• What Hollywood Knows About Leadership That You Don’t, Business Insider, 9/07/11
• The Myth of Writer’s Block (And 7 Ways to Get Unstuck), Business Insider, 8/30/11
• Wing it Like Dr. King: Five Lessons for Your Next Presentation, Business Insider, 8/23/11
• Take it From Harrison Ford: Keep it Focused, PRSA Corporate Communications newsletter, 8/2/11
