If you are in NY there is not much difference except the title and money. Just watch the politics and in experienced clients who don’t know anything

Yes in NY. Thank you!

I went from AD to VP AD and there’s literally nothing different about the role. Not sure what the VP part does for me other than getting a higher salary 🤷

The “VP” is also for dumb ass clients who need the ego boost of only dealing with “VPs only.” That’s why there are tons of VPs in NY agencies. They have inflated titles.

Hello - thinking of starting a small side coaching practice. Could use a bit of help because I've never thought about opening a side hustle but times are tough with two kids in college.

1. What is the best approach to collecting your fee? Each session? Pay the package cost upfront,? Other, and if so, what is it?
2. How do you collect it? Venmo? Credit card?
3. Do you have to register your business?

Thank you in advance for any guidance.

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be). It is a fairly common practice in organizations with traditional career management structures for people to "be promoted" into leadership roles as the "end steps of the corporate ladder" that was climbed doing technical work. And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time
