Assert dominance? 🤦🏻‍♂️ I think you mean develop an executive presence so your client trusts you. Respect is earned, nobody's going to hand it to you.

Avoid the use of "fluff" in your delivery...it just increases the likelihood of you tripping over words. Just speak frankly and don't overthink it.

Watch your body language. Make sure you sit up straight and don't fidget during meetings. When presenting make sure you project and make eure contact with people in the room. It'll help you come across as older

Eye contact*

You can assert dominance in another 23 years

As a second year analyst, you don't assert dominance. You shut up and do what you're told.

I guess KPMG gives you more responsibility early til you fuck it up...Im managing the client with my own Project plan .

Sure, that's if you've already proven yourself. Obviously OP hasn't.

I need some help and advice! I have a new intern from Europe and he is related to higher ups! He is very dismissive and overlooks anything I say, arguing thy he doesn’t agree with what I’m asking him to do! Completely closed to learning!

To those in funds (who may or may not have lateraled) - when filling out a conflicts form, how do you know when to include the client name (whether GP or investor)? I assume on the GP side, if prior to launch you anonymize and during fundraising it's fine to include and on the LP side it's on a case by case basis? Just want to make sure im preserving confidentiality. TIA

Collecting data on a potential entrepreneurship idea for a marketing CRM of sorts. What I have found is that most ppl in marketing do not have a specific tool that they use in order to coordinate and connect with marketing agencies. For ex. I was working on a webinar and needed to work with a few diff agencies to draft up creative and copy assets. Everything was done via email/docs. Would have been nice to have a CRM to organize and bring transparency to coordinate the project. How about you?
