My boss during my mid-year review: “You’re a good communicator, but you’re hard to read.”

What exactly does this mean? Like isn’t that a good thing - you communicate relevant work information, but you’re a mature adult who can process their emotions without outward disruptions, positive or negative?

How do you respond / fix or do you?

Unpopular opinion- I love being a younger female attorney. I use it to my advantage with old school male OCs. I find that I get what I want for me and my clients when I go with the strategy of “help me” rather than the overly aggressive ,”have something to prove” approach I see from my older female attorney mentors. I don’t get any less respect and everyone wins. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Human-Centered Design is (unfortunately) a consulting buzz word these days. How do you all feel about this? Is your firm doing right by HCD, or is just another thing in a big bag if things they use to bill hours?

Solos - what does your day look like? Do you work traditional hours? Do you take breaks during the day for personal things such as errands and working out?

Anyone on the verge of a breakdown? I’m trying to stay strong but coming close it. Too isolated, little, if any contact of substance. Hating this moment in time. Feel weak bringing it up with my team. Don’t want to put myself on the chopping block. They all have significant others and family with them.

Hello!

I'm interning at a hot independent shop in LA but starting to look for a junior role in NYC. Gravitate towards stunty, subversive work (e.g. Mischief, Mirimar, Mojo).

Would love to chat with anyone at an agency like this!

Hey guy’s

Monday, I have attended the first telephonic round and interviewer said you will get the call for seconds round but still I didn’t received any call yet? This process take how many days?

I’m looking for recommendations for an SEO specialist to help us optimize our website (a production company). We need to make some design updates and minor structural changes too, but we might have that part covered.

What are your biggest frustrations with the wellbeing/burnout prevention initiatives that you’ve seen?

I'm burnt. Attempting to figure out how to pivot.
Over 50, I've been a COO, SVP etc at mid-tier orgs ending in B4. Technical enough to call BS, ops expert, excel at organic sales. Systems engineer at heart - by SE I thrive building systems designed to produce results. Brainstorming, idea generation, jumping on the box strategy for me is thrilling. I want to build people not revenue. I want to develop solutions to problems that aren't billable. Yes, I understand the...

How do you let go of the need to be liked by subordinates? I have a people pleasing streak.

How long on average have you all stayed in one position? How about tenure at each company?

Our company is going through a major transformation and there is quite a bit of resistance due to uncertainty and lots of broken promises. Are there any books you would recommend on how to change corporate culture and help employees adapt to change?

What’s the best way of encouraging young team members to actually disconnect during their time away? I have some individuals that will not take actual vacations, they say, “I’ll have my laptop and phone”. My response is “please leave your laptop at home and turn off teams and outlook phone notifications. If there is an emergency and we have a question only you can answer, we can call or text. we’ve got this.”

And then they teams checking in 2 days later 🤦🏼‍♀️

Does anyone have experience sitting on boards? I’m interested in doing this at some point in my career, but am not sure how to get started and what’s typically required (both qualifications and work involved)

How do senior leaders/ executives manage their career and find the next opportunity?

I’ve been a mid-level manager (Sr Operations Manager) for the last three years. Been in my industry for 10 years. I feel I have plateaued in my career path. I’m trying to promote to a Director of Operations role in house and looking at outside opportunities as well. I feel like it’s taken longer to obtain this position than my previous roles. Any advice from Sr/Exec Management to be more self aware and fill in the holes to finally hit the finish line?

Anyone have success using JobScan or ResumeWorded to pass ATS scanners and land more interviews? Looking to refresh my resume after 10 years.

Has anyone worked with an executive recruiter or headhunter to identify opportunities and support placement into a new role? Any referrals? Specifically in the digital product, innovation or design field.

I’m planning to negotiate a bonus structure. Does anyone have any tips or models of bonus / commission structure?

I am a Senior Project Manager for a custom estate builder. We build homes over $50mm in construction costs for the ultra wealthy. I have been with this firm for 15 years and make $350K annual. There is only one partner and the sole proprietor who is essentially retired. They split ~$5MM in profits per year. I have reached the limit on title / career progression in my company - nowhere upwards to go. I highly doubt they will ever partner anyone else into the business. Do I leave?

Working my way up the corporate ladder. I have so many thoughts on leadership and want to initiate changes in the departments I work with. But at this level it's so difficult. Ppl are so resistant to change.

My key learning thus far in my career: Noone gives a shit about your ideas unless you're a head honcho. Real change is brought about from a position of authority.

Got an opportunity for a Director role that will oversee a new and major changes across the org but won't have people under me. Should I be worried?

Sincerely looking forward to your guidance🙏🏻

We’re in the process of redesigning our leadership and executive compensation structure. Both the CEO and CFO have their thoughts based on the seat. I'm exploring bottom-line and outcome-based bonus structures currently. Any feedback, views, questions, or advice?
(if it matters, we are a $600M per year company in the construction industry).

I’m currently considering an offer and am finding that all online compensation benchmarking is falling flat in terms of understanding how I should be looking at comp for this role. I’d value your advice on how to access cleaner comp data and/or how you might look at comp for this role: Chief People Officer for a $2.5BIL revenue ($150MIL net income) global organization. 50,000 employees. USA based. Looking for Total Comp and cash targets/benchmarks.
