“A press release is not the Holy Grail of a communications plan. There are many tools, especially online, to really make a public relations campaign a success and often times a traditional, long, boring press release is not the answer.”
Solveig Raftery • President & CEO, The Firm Public Relations & Marketing
“Top pet peeves are people who are always unhappy, poor customer service, when someone stops or disrupts the middle of a meeting to text or reply to an email and when people take 20 napkins, use one, then throw them all away.”
Luiz Oliveira • Owner, Sambalatte
“When people insist on driving 10 miles UNDER the speed limit in the LEFT lane, it makes me want to pull my hair out. Biggest pet peeve ever. Learn to drive.”

“If I had a pet peeve in business, it would be when technology systems dictate decisions and prevent people from applying common sense.”

“My pet peeve is a lack of focus. At my yoga studio, students often arrive late or bring their phones into class. I want our students to forget about everything when they are here and to create a sanctuary for healing, restoring the body and mind. There should be no distractions. We all need to be more focused and considerate, for our own good and in the interests of being kind to others.”
Stephanie Dixon • Executive Director, Summerlin Yoga
“I have two equally frustrating pet peeves. The first, is when prospective or current clients do not appreciate the free time we lawyers often give them. Thinking and planning for other people’s legal and financial problems is time consuming. The second, is when I fail to explain well to clients the work and hours that went into their legal issues. Nothing solves the first peeve like the second.”
Samuel A. Schwartz, Esq. • The Schwartz Law Firm
