Should be the easiest thing in the world but I fuck it up every time. Yesterday, while introducing myself, I knocked over a glass of water - all over the table and technology.

"Just stop caring" ...we're all cured! Thank you so much.

Because there's no predetermined format, and if you're first to go you founder like an idiot. Example:
"Hi I'm Brett, Project Manager working on the A, B, and C accounts and assisting Dana on the F and G accounts."
"I'm Donald, PM."
"Doris, PM."
"Fran, Project Management."

Eh, just stop caring about what everyone thinks of you. Or sit somewhere in the middle of the room 😂

Holy shit. "No predetermined format"? You need someone to tell you how to say your name and your role? Best thing you can do is go home and practice in the mirror. No one in life will teach you how to be you. That's something we've all figured out.

Why? If you earned the right to be in the room, you'd better have a role, and you're there to represent it.

I prefer short and sweet. What you do, because really, who cares about titles? Had a meeting with my counterpart and his team at another agency awhile back. When it got to me, I just said "I do what so-and-so does, just at Arnold." People got it.

Why. Takes 0 thought

Simple. Name and title.

Hey guys.

My browser history is failing me and hope y’all can help!

I really think that some large holding companies are ever gonna force us back into the office. My ECD is based on the east coast. All three of the ACD/CD teams they hired in the past six months are east coast based. Our office is in the central time zone. Yet every job posting says “in person”. Seems like they just don’t want to advertise their hiring remote for the attractive accounts.
