Working for “The Boss”

One of the great things about a career in public relations is that you get to work with recognizable people.  Getting to work closely with them, whether it’s a governor or celebrity or the Ravens’ defense, you get an experience that few people are lucky enough to have.

Over the last week, I had the privilege of working with one of the most recognizable people on the planet, and to hear him referred to, affectionately, as “the Boss.”

Not Springsteen.

Not George Steinbrenner.

But Mickey Mouse.

As we helped Disney with its “Give A Day, Get a Day” volunteer service promotion in Baltimore, hearing the professionals that represent Mickey call him “the Boss” was a treat.  The culture of reverence that permeates everything that was done, from scheduling interviews with local media to rallying the public on street corners to visiting children in the hospital, made even the most basic tasks important and unified the team members.  It was very cool to be a part of that, if even for only a little while.

So as I crossed another celebrity name off the list of people I’d like to work with, I’m getting closer to my goal of working with The Donald.  I’m just not sure anymore if it’s Trump or Duck.
