Top themes and questions from the Exit Five Executive Community over the last two weeks, as curated by me, in no particular order: 1. Should we keep our PR agency on retainer; what role does PR need to play today vs. the old way? 2. Profound vs. AirOps - which one are you using? Which one do you need? 3. What's your policy on sending team members to conferences? I'm generally pretty liberal about it, but it's getting out of hand. 4. I am heading out on maternity leave any minute now and would love any tips/tricks from the parenting pros in this group. What should I know? 5. Talk to me about your team offsites - the whole marketing org is getting together this fall and I'm starting to frame out what we'll spend our time doing. How do I run an offsite that doesn't suck? 6. For those of you that operate globally, what are y'all doing for website translations these days? 7. Turns out a bunch of these top execs have lives and families and things they are passionate about outside of work too (!!! imagine that) 8. Anyone have a connection to an employment lawyer? I'm working through a negotiation and need some legal help. 9. If someone has a good SEO/GEO/AIO contractor that they are working with or have worked with, I would love a referral ASAP. 10. There is no such thing as a summer slow down, only poor resource planning. True?
