The unfair advantage you'll wish you had years ago.

I recently joined Off the Record, it's an amazing community of communications professionals led by Gab Ferree! What makes it special is the open candor, peer learning, and practical lessons on the craft of Communications, leadership, and AI built specifically for Comms pros. This feels like the group shaping the future of our profession. I'm really enjoying being a part of it. So if you're looking for some place to put your professional development $$ to use before the end of the year, I highly recommend Off the Record.

Just a reminder that if you are in comms, and you're looking for smart, skeptical, actionable insight and advice alongside endless enthusiastic confidence building, you should join Gab Ferree's Off the Record community ASAP.

Just signed up for Off the Record and all I can say is wow, the level of tools and tangible things for communications leaders to tap into is seriously impressive. I haven't even chatted with a bestie yet. You are building something so special Gab Ferree!!

❤️ What struck me most, listening to the amazing Gab Ferree (she's an awesome presenter and such a soothing yet confident voice!), was that she truly wants others to succeed. She's sharing her knowledge to elevate everyone in our communications industry. She's not stepping on anyone's toes to be the best or to prove something. She's practical, yet supportive. Gab has created this wonderful communications community and wants everyone in it to succeed. As a result, she's inspiring and motivates others. ⭐ So that's my suggestion for us all today. Do something today that elevates someone else - helps them succeed. Share some knowledge. Make a connection. Thanks Gab Ferree.

Been part of Off the Record for almost a year now and it truly has been one of the best things to ever happen to me as a communications professional. Thanks to Gab Ferree and this community, the growth and development I've felt within myself has been ✨incredible✨

Happy 1st anniversary to Gab Ferree and Off the Record! While she'd humbly say she's handing out fishing rods, not fish, she's really built a Master's in comms I didn't know I needed — and am thrilled to be pursuing alongside so many brilliant peers.

More exposure to the comms world led me to discover Gab Ferree right as she was launching Off the Record. I jumped on that quickly and being part of her community has become another superpower I use daily. Her workshops have accelerated my comms abilities and so many of the things I say to make myself sound smart, I've plagiarized from her 😊

When I was searching for my next (current) role I came across Gab Ferree and Off the Record — and immediately found the kind of Comms community I didn't know I was missing. Smart, generous pros from across the U.S. and beyond, with real conversations and support that actually helped. Gab even gave me free membership until I landed on my feet — and told me that this is exactly why she built OTR 😭 I'm so grateful for the support. Happy Comms Bestie Day! And thank you, Gab, for building a space where comms people can connect, grow, and yes, find a few besties along the way

I also enjoyed seeing some practical self-care ideas in the article, including cozy cardio (I've got that one covered 😊) and personal finance (thanks, Gab Ferree for the recent money tips! Off the Record is the best investment I've made in a LONG time).

Wanted to thank Gab Ferree and the amazing Off the Record community for hosting a fantastic session with Business Insider editor Cadie Thompson and CCO Ari Isaacman D'Angelo! And great recap Rachelle Peterson!

Grateful for this crew (and many more not pictured) who make the hard days easier, and the inevitable “quick gut check” moments a lot more productive. Lunch with Gab Ferree in DC was a good reminder that this job is way better when you have smart people in your corner. Happy Comms Bestie Day!
