Stop “moving the needle.”

March 10, 2015 by Margie Newman Tsay 1 Comment

Not a week goes by that I do not hear a non-profit leader use the phrase “move the needle” to describe their organization’s current programming goals and deliverables. Non-profits often wrestle with how to get the talk right about their mission and goals, and the overall effect their work has on the community. The struggle to answer […]

Like any great chef, the best PR pros have “broken many pots.”

September 12, 2013 by Margie Newman Tsay Leave a Comment

Back when I was a columnist for Her Nashville Magazine (R.I.P.), I wrote about how many of the public relations skills I am recognized for today were crafted from lessons learned from my own stunningly horrific error.
