Everyone says bring your best energy to work, but what does that actually mean when you’re on your third Zoom call before 9am?

It's more meaningless mumbo jumbo from the LinkedIn influencer crowd. I have a finite amount of "best energy", no chance I'm wasting any of it at work. Showing up each day and doing my job well is more than enough.

haha thats good advice!

I work with people in different time zones. They stay late for US calls. We all compromise.

must be tricky!

Try bringing your ‘beast energy’ to work. All my meetings end early, or at least I think they do because I end up smashing my keyboard and monitor and flipping my chair over 5 minutes into each meeting. :)

Kidding…I tend to interpret things in my own way. I see this as a cop-out. Many days my best energy is at 10% and others must live with it because it’s ’my best’. Even though it’s insufficient. And then I have to tolerate that in others. Then the company I performance suffers since neither of us are delivering on what we actually got hired to do.

I believe in - bring at least the energy you are paid to bring, any more is a pleasure.

hahahaha but this is a great way to think about things, thanks!

Yea yea
You can say that again

Does anyone have any RAG formulaic templates they've used in the past that they wouldn't mind sharing? Working at a company that is developing processes and we do not have a consistent/formulaic approach to RAG status. I've worked in other companies where we would do line item milestones with their own individual RAG (determined by probability+ impact) that would roll up into an overall project RAG status. But, I'm unable to find a template like that easily.

Additional Posts in Digital Marketing

I’v been in digital marketing for almost 5 years.

I applied for some marketing research and operations roles, but no luck.

I understand I don’t have enough direct experience and platform experience, like Nielsen.

Any advice?

I’m job searching right now and applied for a job I was a little overqualified for just to shoot my shot and get my foot in the door with a great brand.
