#PRWeek40Under40 Honoree Spotlight: Meet Dreena Whitfield of WhitPR What has been one of the best professional advice you've ever received? And what advice would you give anyone looking to work in PR?
The best professional advice that I have ever received is that if you are at this table or in this room, you deserve to be here. Throughout my career, especially as a founder, I grappled with imposter syndrome — questioning my presence in certain spaces, abilities and even accolades. This piece of advice helped me combat those moments of self-doubt. For those looking to work in PR, I always stress to my team the importance of asking questions. Every question holds value and presents an opportunity to learn and grow.
