My husband is a creative and has a new ECD who has high standards and pushes everyone. He hasn’t been this inspired and happy in years. It’s crazy the impact we have on people. Keep pushing!

Your husband rocks. Versus the whiny little misfits who complain when a new creative director pushes them to higher standards because they have to work harder

True! I wonder how this type of creative becomes this way. Don’t they want to be better versions of themselves? Maybe sometimes it’s a personality fit issue? 🤷‍♀️

Good to hear. We’re getting a new ECD and I’m kind of worried. I didn’t get to meet him so I have no read on him. 🤷‍♀️

Guys, is it possible to do the CFA without having a bachelor's degree, just with 10+ years of work experience in Banking and Brokerage???

Ok so. I have been on this journey for almost a year now to try and 'get to know and love myself' and I'm not there yet. I separated from my ex in March of 2020 and divorce was finalized in October 2020. I'm still sad, lost, angry etc. I'm trying/tried therapy, meditation, ayurveda, self help videos, books, but I'm not happy with myself and I don't think I know myself. I want to be happy alone before I meet anyone new. Any tips or advice on how I can effectively accomplish this? Thank you!

Since becoming a CD, I feel like my time is purely administrative and managerial work. I don’t have any creative projects and only give feedback to my ADs/designers. Because of this I’m feeling really insecure about looking for a new job because I feel my skills have been lost. Any advice? Do you as CDs do a lot of creative work day to day?
