if you’ve arrived at this point in your career it means that someone believes you’re ready to handle it. trust your instincts and be the kind of manager you’ve enjoyed having over the years. remember: no one is expecting you to nail it the first time. you’ve got this 💪🏻

Insecure. It’s normal

I think the thing that takes time to get is working for someone else’s success (and not your own). If you can completely ditch your own ego, and find a way to help them shine, then you’re winning.

Take the pressure off the management aspect of it. Just think of it as a joint venture to make great things together, as a team.

How do you create the visual direction of a print campaign for example? Is it generally just about creating a mood board that sets the look and feel? Should it be specific (as in drawing or illustrating) with the pose and the framing?

Cause my thinking is more of the former where you give the photographer their own take of the idea. Curious to know how you do it.

Working on some law firm applications tonight and it sucks that I know that I am so capable and have a strong work ethic but firms can’t see beyond grades or the fact that I didn’t go to a t14 law school or prestigious undergrad. I’ve worked twice as hard and feel like I’ve barely even gotten half as much. It’s discouraging sometimes especially because I worked so hard with pretty much no guidance (first gen, poc, low-income) to get into college and do well and then get into a t30 law school
