智力激勵會議（09:00 AM）

Care to Join in on a Brainstorming Session

Burson-Marsteller has a “brainstorming” room that has wide windows and a?great view.?

But unfortunately, this room is not for us to rest or chat in.

It’s a place where everybody has to be prepared to “debate” and “create ideas.”

Today, I had two exhausting, yet interesting, brainstorming sessions.

In addition, I had two cups of coffee, eight?pieces of chocolate, and a handful of snacks to keep?myself alert and focused!

It’s strange that I actually talk a lot and present?many ideas during the meetings as I normally don’t?enjoy talking too much.

During the first meeting, we were finally able to?come up with a couple of brilliant PR ideas for our?client’s product launch in the U.S..

I love PR because it requires both logical thinking and creativity.

I just hope that I will eat less next time.

TRANS

博雅公關公司有個“智力激勵”會議室，那里有寬大的窗戶，可以看到優(yōu)美的景色。
不幸的是，這個會議室不是給職員休息或聊天的。
在這里，每個人都要隨時準備“討論”和“提出創(chuàng)意”。
今天開了兩場有點累人但很有意思的智力激勵會議。
為了集中精力，我喝了兩杯咖啡，吃了8 塊巧克力和少量餅干。
令人驚訝的是，我平時不喜歡說話，但是一開會話就變多，也想出了很多方案。
開第一次會議時，我們?yōu)槊绹蛻粽业搅私^佳的公關方案。
公關需要邏輯性思維和創(chuàng)新能力，這是我喜歡它的理由。
希望下次開會時不要吃這么多。
