Difference Maker Nik Govier

Public relations has gotten a bad rap of being known as the art of spin. Yet, although she’d found her niche in PR — and was really good at it — Nik Govier could never spin her doubts about her intellectual capabilities into a winning narrative. She struggles to spell or write by hand and her middling school grades undercut her confidence. But a late dyslexia diagnosis — and the realization that her uber-bright daughter also is dyslexic — has Govier putting a new spin on the attractive abilities that help her to thrive in the PR biz: dyslexia is her gift.
