Starting a new job in August. What are your best new agency/team/client/etc. words of wisdom and advice? Moves always bring up feeling nervous and imposter syndrome for me.

There’s a book called ‘The First 90 Days,’ that outlines how to get a great start at any new job. It’s served me well and I pass along the same coaching to anyone starting a new gig.

Essentially, the concept is built around adding value (why they hired you) as soon as possible.

When you start, you’re learning, asking questions and listening intently. In that way, you’re consuming the value of those around you. That phase should maybe last 30 days or so. From there, you should start asserting yourself and adding value to the team and company. The book says that’s your “break-even point” and the goal is to get there within 90 days, when your “new card” wears out. 😉

Essentially:
By 30 days - Listen & Learn
By 60 days - Leverage (what you’ve learned)
By 90 days - Lead!

Yes to SVP AD1, great bar to aim for and also remember to pace yourself/be kind to yourself.

- The client isn’t always right
- It’s okay to push back
- Don’t be afraid of messing up
- Take personal time off
- Speak up when something seems off
- Be patient. It takes at least 6 months to understand an account and how clients work

I prepared a presentation for an interview with a sales leader, it went well and I was offered a final interview with regional manager. The sales leader I interviewed with gave me a bunch of feedback, but said to find out information about tech stack, which I for some reason, didn’t consider. I come to find out that deep, hidden within the website of the hypothetical client, they use the service already. Do I roll into the final interview and play dumb or do i present and then come clean?

Right so here’s a bit of a dilemma I work to a much higher standard at home and it’s this high standard that means I’m in line for a promotion. I’ve grown so much and I feel really strong in my role I’m also busier than ever. The problem is we’re going back into the office and I don’t want to go in if it’s just going to be senior management in asking me to get them lunches for client meetings or fetch a glass of water and cutlery for meeting rooms. Definitely not ready to go back to that….
