I’m working on a very lean team where it’s just me and two partners working on a subject I don’t have experience in. The leading partner is very dry and someone who I know multiple colleagues have a hard time connecting with. I just received an average feedback review from him and have a meeting tomorrow to discuss. I’m nervous and having a lot of imposter syndrome. I’ve delivered good work product on this project but can feel myself dragging. Any advice to have a strong feedback convo w him?

Be prepared for data points and coming to the table with quantifiable achievements if you feel like he hasn’t given you the kudos. Also, ask him what he perceives as “better than average”. He could just be a tough person to impress?

I'm going to my first partner retreat in May in a spring break-ish destination spot. Post pandemic, I feel like a manatee.

Business casual, or more resort for meetings and events? (I have zero intention of wearing a bathing suit at any point.)

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?
