What's the best way to gain visibility by those holding 3-4 positions higher than you? I like learning from them and growing mentorships but can't break the AE-level wall with my responsibilities. Being remote also makes it harder to interact.

I'm on the client/business side but would love to hear anyone's thoughts.

Ask for a dedicated mentor. Set up weekly or bi-weekly chats and stick to them. Ask them what they think you should be doing to grow into the role you want. Ask if you can shadow. Ask questions.

See if there's a way to present the results of project that you worked on as part of an internal meeting. You can shine a light on the good work you've done, demonstrate yourself as a competent communicator, and possibly reach some leaders with whom you don't often overlap.

Being remote makes it more difficult. That said, in the end they’re just people too! Ask for a virtual coffee? Be conscious of schedules and come prepared with questions to kick things off.

One of my direct reports has asked about going part time. They currently manage special reports in a bi-weekly publication, working closely with sales, freelance writers, and an internal designer.

Has anyone had experience with job sharing in this type of a role?

My challenge to everyone of you. Every leader, every future leader, everybody who will lead this industry one day: when we get back to normal, whatever that will look like, get personally involved again with recruiting, hiring and mentoring. DO NOT leave personnel decisions to HR, alone. DO Not rely on the parasitic temp agencies like creative circle and Aquent to do all the work. Get involved. Give a damn. A creative leader saw value in me, l assume someone saw value in you too. Pay it forward.
