Hello OP, do you have any update from last week?

Oh okay.
I’ll pin your post for a week; hopefully, someone who’s interested in learning Portuguese will see it.

Also, you can check out Duolingo; I’m learning Mandarin on it & it has been quite helpful. I get a daily reminder to learn (about 5 - 10 mins). In addition, it’s gamified; your weekly efforts are ranked against others, giving it a competitive vibe & a compelling reason to study daily.

How’s your learning Portuguese goal? Have you started yet?

I’m a senior planner leading one brand and there’s a new strategist on the team working on a sister brand. They’ve been asking for every strategy deck I’ve made on that brand as an example to go by to inform the thinking/flow on the sister brand. Also because I mentioned it went well with client when they ask. All for sharing thinking w/ the team & I know we feel imposter syndrome to varying degrees, but I also feel like it’s good for planners to find their own voice/style/flow. Thoughts?
