Today, women are leading more companies than at any other time in history (though there’s still room for more!). But before they rose to the office of CEO, all of them, at some point, had to land their first job — and ask for a promotion or raise.

After working first out of her apartment and then out of a shared workplace in New York, Megan Driscoll, founder and CEO of EvolveMKD, finally decided it was time to rent office space for her small but growing public relations firm. The catch? Despite being profitable, potential landlords didn’t trust she had a solid business and were wary of renting to her.

Megan Driscoll is the founder and chief executive officer of EvolveMKD, a company engaged in both traditional public relations campaigns and social media content creation for clients in the healthcare, beauty and lifestyle areas. Megan grew up in Brooklyn and, later, in suburban New Jersey. Her parents, she says, were the antithesis of entrepreneurs: her mom taught school and her dad worked as a CPA. As a child, she “aspired to be President of the United States… or a hair stylist,” Megan says with a smile.

Today’s aesthetic practices need full-circle public relations.

Industry veteran Megan Driscoll talks to host Steven Dayan, MD, FACS.

“The biggest thing I do each day is to wake up and first thing, set an intention to treat everyone with kindness and compassion that day. When you are in client service, it is easy to get treated poorly or taken advantage of, but when you remind yourself that clients are going through any number of things in their work and/or personal life that has nothing to do with you, it makes it better. Reminding myself that the best thing I can do to anyone I come into contact with is to be as kind as possible.” -Megan Driscoll, founder of EvolveMKD

I never really dreamt about being an entrepreneur or starting my own company. When people used to ask me what I wanted to do when I graduated from college, my answer was “Work with nice people.” I realize now that should have been a sign, as the only way to ensure you are working with nice people, is to create the company for them to work at.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO WALK AWAY FEELING GOOD: Other entrepreneurs I’ve spoken to say the same. Before founding a marketing agency, Megan Driscoll was a greeter at GapKids. “My job was literally to say hello to everyone that walked in the store,” she recalls. But it taught her “the importance of a smile and having every person walk away from my interaction feeling good.” That’s not just a lesson for service roles, Driscoll says. You can’t build a successful business that doesn’t operate by that same principle. “I apply that daily with my clients now.”
