Harlan Teller is a legend in the PR business. Harlan led the corporate communications function at Burson Marsteller for America, for Hill & Knowlton worldwide, for Financial Dynamics (then FTI), and then was an Executive Director at APCO. Switching to the education sector, he's been C-level in comms and marketing for Northern Illinois University, Northern Arizona University, and now Central Michigan University. But it's not just about experience – lots of people put in time in this industry, but that doesn't make them Harlan Teller. He's a genius in comms and also career management, and a voice of calm and simplicity in an industry that takes itself way too seriously sometimes. We talked about his career, his ideas on being successful in agency as a young person, how to manage stress, how to best manage clients, business development and how to be successful at it. With Harlan, it's less about technique and more about mindset.
