My greatest strength is my ability to connect with others. I love meeting new people and learning about their lives. I remember a time when I was walking over the Williamsburg Bridge from Soho to Williamsburg and started speaking to a homeless man on the street - we actually ended up walking the whole bridge together and chatting. I talk a lot but I also like to listen.
Being able to connect with others and watch their vision come to life. When a client reaches out with a creative request it's like a fun puzzle figuring out exactly how to make that come to life and how to do it in a way that will most benefit them. I very much enjoy that process. I also get to provide opportunities to up-and-coming creatives which is pretty awesome.
No guts, no glory - this is what my agency stands for NGNG. I've always loved this saying because it reminds us that anything is possible. Everything in life has some sort of risk associated with it, from applying for a new job to falling in love. The key is that you feel this fear and you do it anyway. That's how shit gets done. Every time I've made a big decision in my life I've felt a tremendous amount of fear but I just remind myself of this phrase, do it anyway, and hope for the best! It's helped in a ton of situations.
I was once told how all the 'greats' of the world never took a day off in their 20s or 30s. They just worked constantly with no breaks. I love working so when I first launched my agency I played by this rule and worked constantly days, nights & weekends. Boy did I burn out quickly... I can't emphasize enough the importance of slowing down. By slowing down, we're able to regenerate our creative energy and move forward in a more productive way.
Work-life balance. I'm learning more and more about this every day and bringing in more good habits into my life slowly but surely... gone are the days of living off of coffee and staring at screens for 23 hours a day. I'm now uber focused on being present and making small sacrifices of taking steps back from work for long term gains.
