Sound Advice
“Don’t assume your career path will be a straight line — especially in an arts-related field. Una — whether it’s a life experience or a work experience — is wasted. All of that contributes to your creative point of view. Everything I’ve been through has prepared me for this job. Also don’t be afraid to speak your mind or fret the consequences. I’m not saying be stupid or arrogant, but if you feel that you’ve got a good point, don’t go with the flow. Speak your mind and see where it takes you. I’ve learned that when I pushed back I learned more about myself and grown more. I respect my staffers who push back. Even if I need to write over them because I outrank them, I still respect when they force me to reassess my game.”
