Hello, All! I'm looking for recommendations on inspirational content for women leaders. I follow TEDWomen, many podcasts, and the Women's Conference among other sources. I'd love to hear a fresh perspective on business, trends, tech, marketing, equality in the workforce, etc. I'd love to learn something new. I'm at the VP level and have started a couple of companies, so nothing too junior, but open to many topics. Please share any speakers, books, webinars, or events that you may come across.

I work at a preschool that redirects disruptive students by giving them a book to calm down and regroup. Do you think this is a good practice or does it ultimately lead the student to see reading as punishment?

Does anyone have recommendations for self-improvement books written by Asians/Asian-Americans? By self-improvement, I mean any book that has caused you to reflect or positively impacted your life to include philosophy or leadership.

I’m gearing up for my first hire/direct report. Which management/leadership books would folks recommend reading for inspiration, food for thought?

Any mid-level copywriters looking for work? We had another writer leave and are looking to fill the position. It's a small shop with incredible creative leadership and fun food accounts. Trust me, you’ll get a lot of opportunities and have a blast. PM a link to your book and I'll tell you more.

This is consistent with the research findings in my book "Lead From the Future". The 5-10 year horizon brings as much to see opportunities as much as threats and is the north star; need even now

I’ve hit an absolute brick wall when it comes to finding for a new job. I’ve had almost a dozen interviews that lead nowhere and been ghosted by a ton of recruiters. Would anyone be available to look over my book and give me some advice? 🙏

I am beyond stuck in my first 1.5 years of my career.

I was over promised opportunities at my first gig and then Covid hit. Leading me to have no portfolio worthy pieces from this 💩 agency with nothing great in sight. (place hasn’t won a pitch in my entire time here + lost clients)

I’m juggling re-vamping my site and a side project to hopefully make my book more robust.

With no kind of leadership or mentor, I’m just figuring out how to dig myself out of this hole. Any advice for this chump?

Who wants to lead a dedicated M&A practice at a premier global firm’s Boston Office? Incredible opportunity for 8th to 10th year-ish. No book required. Can be a Senior Associate or Jr. Partner. Only top pedigrees from top BigLaw firms qualify. Very fast Equity partnership track. This firm negotiated a third of all VC dollars raised worldwide.

Getting pulled into meetings on different projects as functional lead or backup to functional lead. What is the best way to organize, to keep meeting notes, key tidbits, track of latest updates and status? One note or something else? Also, any tips or books to read to help manage such a pace and diversity of projects. Not looking to be a PM. Role is more around managing FTE and contractors across different groups without actually having them reporting to you. TIA

I believe improving one’s sales conversion rate is something everyone want to improve but no one wants to admit they would like to work it. Funny how lawyers will spend thousands on seminars to improve trial skills. But this topic is not discussed in our profession. I have read books in sales. But am unable to find any for lawyers. I want convert every lead I can. Does anyone have tips, books, cle’s or studied this topic?

Hello fishes,

I am bored being an HR! Tech and coding fascinate me, and I am considering switching my career to IT after being an HR for quite some time. I would love for you to recommend the next course of action/next steps. What courses do you recommend to a beginner like me, I would appreciate it if any of you could provide an action plan to get into IT mainstream. I am serious about this and have a vision to see myself in the role in the next 2-3 years. I know nothing is impossible. Thx.

Hello software developers! I work for Woz U and we need software developers in the Austin, TX area to attend our advisory board meeting on July 21st and help guide our software development curriculum. I would love to connect with you if you’re interested!

What are MBA hire salaries in Europe? I’ve heard that in US, it’s ~$170k and wondering how much lower Europe and places like australia are?

*During an interview* Interviewer: 'So how long were you employed in your last job?'
Candidate: 'I'd say my biggest weakness is my listening skills.'

I moved for work and my best friends are out of the state. I have found individual friends here, but no reoccurring hang out group. With seasonal affective disorder and anxiety, I find myself not wanting to leave the house and working late. A lot of the activities I like to do are outdoor based and cost $$$ to join indoor version (yoga in the park vs joining a studio). Trying to save money and not lose my motivation—it’s a rough start to the winter. (Yes I have a therapist 💭 & psychologist 💊)

Ridiculous question: How do you learn what other jobs actually do, both conceptually and tactically? Should I just type names of jobs like product manager, etc., that I’ve heard of into google/YouTube/LinkedIn and see what comes up? I’m 23 and all my friends from school are either in consulting, finance, or medicine and I have no idea what other jobs are even out there / what they do - I just know that *consulting is a good job coming out of school* and *m&a integrations makes me sad*

I’ve used Remind to communicate with parents but am thinking of switching next school year to Classtagme or Seesaw. What are your thoughts? Do you know of something better?

Hello everyone,

How to prepare for pro-fit round for Morgan Stanley? Can someone suggest do's/don't s for this round. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks in advance

What 529 plans are you using and why?

Anyone else starting to have dreams about their gym? Not even sexual — my brain was definitely just going “I miss lifting weights”.

I’m just sad because mine didn’t end in the shower or sauna...

My philosophical pondering of the day: Have we been socially distancing ourselves (through social media) way before the pandemic hit?

Anyone ever been blocked in their growth because of a marketing-based title?

For context, external launches are better received when promoted by RD&A or business leaders.

Any suggestions on Podcasts or other sources to keep me and the team up to date on the changing in digital marketing?

Looking to switch up my role to be more focused on the SEO side of things. My strengths have grown into optimizing web pages, and I like it better than all the “fluff” of the rest of the burden I have now.

Does anyone know any companies hiring? What job title should I look for when searching? They seem ALL over the place. I want to avoid working for startups or small businesses… I’ve done my time 😅

So I changed jobs and that got me kicked out of all my bowls. Just got back in and approved all the member requests. Sorry about the delay.

1: So I applied to a Y Combinator-backed startup that just closed a $3m seed round and is hiring a CMO. 5 people work there. The job description put an emphasis on finding an out-of-the-box thinker with an eye for design. So after the first round was scheduled, I sent a cover letter style email to my interviewer the day before. He responded in the interview at the beginning by saying: (continued in comments)

So we're getting a half-dozen manager-level requests daily, but eligible senior marketing leaders are coming in slower. I am approving on average one director-level (or higher) marketer per day.

Feel free to share this bowl to other bowls to help us build our community here!

I want to welcome the 28 new members that were admitted to the bowl today. Five were turned away for not being in senior roles. If I can't tell if you meet the membership criteria, I do look you up on LinkedIn, and I'm glad I do: there were a couple consultants with prior senior executive roles and long careers that I would have missed otherwise.

Anyway, the bowl has now doubled in size. We now have very senior members from global ad agencies, global media agencies, and global brands. Welcome!

So I took a job beginning of November at a seed-stage startup, and my boss (the founder and CEO) is a managerial dumpster fire. Very toxic. As a result, I'm looking for a new job.

I've crafted a couple different responses in the comments to "Why are you looking for a new job after so short a stint?" and would like to get the bowl's advice on which you think is best to use as my primary answer.

Who is the most challenging direct report you've ever had? I had an interface designer once who ranged from condescending on most days to nakedly passive aggressive when he didn't approve of my art direction. We were on a deadline prior to a brand launch so I could neither fire him nor set him straight and risk him quitting, so I just took his shit without protest for six weeks until launch. He was project-based so I didn't have to suffer him further. It was a challenging six weeks.

Manager-level marketers continue to be optimistic about their chances of getting into this group, and I continue to dash their hopes.

Also, I think once we hit 50 members, we may start to grow a little faster, because we'll be bigger than all the bowls marked "1-50" which seem to populate the lower half of the list of bowls. Hopefully appearing higher on the list will lead to more frequent discovery by our target audience, and thus faster growth.

I'm looking for someone to run Adroll for a startup with a $5k a month ad spend. How many hours a week will that take and how much should I pay them?

We're getting a new member or two each day. Maybe that would increase if current members shared the group and/or invited colleagues to join?

With the macroenvironment the way it is, how are your firms evaluating comp increases or stock refreshers this year?

I'd like to put a question to the membership (and we'll be voting on things like this from time to time, incrementally establishing a set of formal criteria for membership which I will post):

How do you feel about admitting senior executives that are not career marketers but are employed at marketing firms? For example, I currently have a member request from an Associate Medical Director a design-focused healthcare creative agency.

Please clarify for me. I say if the salary for the position is $52,000, that's what you include when posting the job opening. Ie: Marketing Assistant: $52K. My supervisor says no, the salary is actually 74,000, because she's including health benefits and PTO on top of the 52.. I said if you post 74,000 and the person finds out it's actually 52 (probably with a take home pay of only 38) they will walk. Who's right?
