Giving it your all (again)
Oh, hi friends!
When have you used all the faculties at your disposal? When have you operated at your highest capacity? When have you given everything you have?
And how did that feel?
I’m trying to get back to that space—mentally, physically, emotionally!—and wondered if you’d like to do the same. Let’s start today.
“The more little things you did that raised expectations, the more indispensable you became. For example, my first promotion: We [junior account managers] had to produce commercials that never saw the light of day because you had to do them to sell a toy. We used to do 7 a.m. meetings with the clients to approve the rough cut. We always put on a breakfast, and I decided to mix it up. I got fresh orange juice and did a whole buffet. You would have thought I gave them gold bars. I got promoted five minutes after the meeting. A lot of people say that’s not value-added work, but it got me connected emotionally to the clients and agency team.”
Enjoyed this advice from John Seifert, CEO of Ogilvy & Mather. Funny how these little things raise the bar.
Shia is such a kook but this little two-minute art project actually does motivate me?!
