Chances are, your creative team isn’t bringing you into their creative process. 

One of the biggest mistakes I see: Letting fear get in the way of focus. 

Some meetings are to share. The goal is to be a clear meeting presenter. 

People get this wrong. A lot. You think you have to understand why a teammate operates a certain way. 

There’s an art to getting your idea to see the light of day. 

My writing got a lot better once I started reading it out loud. 

There’s something I use every week with people I work with to sound (and feel) prepared even when I only had a few minutes to prep for the conversation or meeting. 

I’ve been trying to answer the question, “What’s one thing I wish I would’ve known 15 years ago?” and I keep struggling with it . 

I discovered a new perspective on leading others and growing…something.

After working alongside CEOs of impressive companies, I noticed how they regain control of their attention in a world designed to steal it. 

This one is for the leaders who are still practitioners. 

After working at three ad and marketing agencies that worked with global brands, I noticed they got really good at defining who is NOT an ideal user, customer or client. 

You’re thinking about the it everyday: how to  sell more, tweak packaging, launch that new product next quarter. 

Read this for next time you have a deadline.

When someone asks you, “What’s the strategy?” Do you know what they’re really asking you? 

You just thought of something. 

It’s perfect. It’s just what you needed. 

You’ve learned a lot professionally. And that information has served you well for quite awhile!

The quality of ideas sometimes starts with a numbers game: the more ideas you can get out of people’s heads the more ingredients you have for the good (and even great) ideas.
