Would love to hear from people who've completed one of those online executive certification programs from the likes of Stanford, Harvard, MIT, Cornell, Duke, etc.

Would you recommend it?

Sounds dirty.

My father did one at Stanford about 15 years ago in person. IIRC it was to jump a hurdle to get past being a sales rep into a manager position at his company.

I haven’t completed one but have looked into them. My take is that they’re useful if there’s a specific skill set you want to get out of them, but they don’t carry much if any cache for networking or general resume building

🤷🏼‍♂️ In-house v. more trial experience? I’m a junior partner (insurance *coverage*) with one 2nd chair trial. I *might* have a few more trials in the next 3-4 years, but maybe not.

My goal is to try to maximize my skill set and, if I go in-house, return to private practice eventually w/ some client contacts from my in-house work. Any advice??? I’m really conflicted on this. 🤔

I just listened to an interview of a creative director recount their path towards copywriting at a famous ad agency. It could not have been a more textbook case of failing upwards as a white man.

It would seem the only thing you need to make it as an advertising creative is to have lots of not particularly original ideas. Practically every other skill is unnecessary. If you’re a white man.

That this level of mediocrity passes for talent explains why so many agency briefs are so lame.
