I think the only skill I'll really pay attention to in 2026 is prompting. As in AI prompting. I spent a lot of the last year being skeptical and offended by all the AI hype. I'm realizing I can't outrun the hype and I need to just throw myself into it. I'm thinking after New Year's I'll start Google's Prompting Essentials course. I keep thinking I know how to do it, but part of me thinks there must be things to learn. It'll be worth taking the course just out of curiosity.

This is the year of community engagement for us. My company does a pretty poor job of actually building community and engaging with our fans. I was hired a couple of months ago and let them know that would be a top priority for me because actually uplifting and engaging your main followers is how they become lifelong fans and not just one-off consumers.

Culture building! That’s a good one. It’s especially important in the virtual meeting world and much harder to do too.

I’m hoping to sharpen my GEO skills. It feels it’ll only become increasingly important for marketers today

Random partner asked a litigation-related question to a partner I frequently work with (i’m a transactional associate). My partner cc’d me and said for me to briefly look. Asked the library. They got me a great case. Sent it back. Now the random partner is asking for more cases in another circuit.

When you meet with a partner for a new assignment. Do you bill for that time? I’m a new associate, so I don’t know. On the one side it seems that meeting and conferring for an assignment requested by the the client would be billable since it’s using firm time and resources. On the other side, we are just talking about how to tackle the assignment and not tackling the assignment itself.
