I would say that patience has been one of the biggest things that I've had to work on. Things aren't going to work out according to plan as much as we would like them to and it's important to be able to stay cool so you can think on your feet and react accordingly. Communication is an underrated skill too

I'm still learning about communication on the daily… I'm not always the best as it

Learning how to communicate effectively and properly. Not only has that served me in my career but in my personal life as well. some people really aren't good communicators and I am glad this is a skill I was able to master over time.

I need to improve my communication skills. I tend to shy away from crucial/tough conversations. Am I a lost cause?

Calling attention to something that could be a problem. Sometimes I’m wrong and it was no big deal, but getting to the point where I am mostly confident in what I do and can speak up about something has saved quite a few headaches. And helps make me look good when I am right.

I keep getting recruiters asking to apply for new roles, which is what I thought I wanted because I’m not growing at my agency. But I’m so fatigued I don’t even know if I want to stay in advertising. Have y’all left or took a break to do something different? What did you do?

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?
