Andrew Tobin - 2nd Award Losing Creative Director - at theandrewtobin.com 3h ✓ Following My 4-year old froze on stage at her first ballet recital. "I failed." she told me after the show. I looked at her heartbroken, with tears in my eyes. "No. I failed you. But today, you've given me more than I could've ever asked for. You gave me a sad kid story to post on LinkedIn." "Link what?" she asked. "LinkedIn." I replied. "A place where depressing personal anecdotes involving imaginary children are posted and mined for engagements in order to boost one's own professional identity." She looked at me confused. "But dad-" I cut her off. "Shhhh."

That definitely happened

Vivian U. (She/Her) • 3rd+ Staff Product Designer at Instawork 2d. It finally happened. My 6-year-old was called the word "bossy." It happened when I was getting her ready for the day. She said, "Mommy, you're being bossy." I calmly replied, "I'm not being bossy, I'm giving you instructions." Then we talked about how it had never been in her vocabulary, and I asked if someone called her that. After a few minutes, with tears in her eyes, she shared how her classmates called her "bossy" when she was trying to remind them of the teacher's instructions. I said, "I'm sorry they called you that. You were trying to be helpful, and those are actually skills of a CEO." "What is a CEO?" she asked. "It's the boss of a big company," I replied. With bright eyes and a huge smile she exclaimed, "A boss?!!!" During our commute, she sang over and over again, "I'm gonna be a B-O-S-S." Folks, I think she found her calling. #leanin #changethenarrative Takeaways What is a CEO? How can be

BREAK ALL THE RULES! I show business leaders 7h⚫ We are in the ER. Our 2-month-old Grandson is struggling to breathe. Here's what I do... I hyper-focused on everything. Words. Smells. Monitors. Expressions. Mico-expressions. Every sense is functioning at 1,000%. Why such hyper focus? Besides my intense interest in our grandson' wellbeing... It's what I do. It's the way my brain is wired. I consume all available info. Extract every ounce of meaning. Ask probing questions. Consider implications and scenarios. Then... Envision options that favor MY desired outcomes. Imagine this kind of focus on your business.

LinkedIn is King

Annie Moore • 3rd+ Senior Director of Digital @ Dezenhall Resources... 3d + Follow Imagine this: Two candidates walk into an interview. Both have stellar resumes, Ivy League education, and glowing references. But here's the catch - one has a strong Linkedin presence, leading discussions, sharing insights, and actively contributing to their industry's community. The other? Radio silence on social media. In today's hiring landscape, the game has changed. Founders and executives aren't just hunting for talent; they're scouting for brand amplifiers on LinkedIn. They seek individuals who not only fill a role but also elevate their brand, attract top-tier talent, and secure their spot as category leaders. It's not about being the loudest in the room but the most thoughtful, the one who adds real value. Create. Share. Engage. Transform your presence into your most powerful asset. COO 23 5 comments

Not Everything Needs to Be on LinkedIn

2d. This is harsh reality for a lot of us. Yes, the pay may be good, but at what cost? It rips me apart when he cries and says, "daddy please don't go to work." I only hope that, one day, my kids realize that what I do is 100% for them and 0% for me. As hard as it seems on them, I can guarantee that it's 5 times harder on me.

This Guy's Smart

Today, while indulging in an episode of Schitt's Creek, I found myself immersed in the storyline, only to realize I had inadvertently skipped ahead to Season 5, Episode 9. My flatmate, who had already seen the series, pointed out my oversight. Reflecting on this moment, I realized how my career as a strategy consultant has influenced this ability to quickly grasp complex narratives and dynamics. Much like navigating the intricate plotlines of a television series, strategy consultants immerse themselves in understanding the storyline, roles, and characters of their clients' businesses, even when they're several seasons into their journey. Despite joining at their 'Nth season,' consultants approach each project with fresh eyes, aiming to craft a compelling narrative for the client's future success. This parallel between my leisurely TV viewing and my professional role reminded me of the unique perspective and skills consultants bring to the table. #Strategy Consulting #BusinessInsights #Schitts Creek" accenture

Beating the System

+ Follow Visit my website 2d We live in a society where people JUDGE you for making your own coffee. In my early career, I went broke buying Starbucks, just for show. But then I had an idea I went onto eBay and purchased 500 used Starbucks cups. Then every morning before work, I'd pour my homemade coffee into a Starbucks cup. And just like that... it worked, and I continued to get the respect I needed. And how did I get out of my debt? I'd also tell my coworkers I was "at Starbucks," and if they wanted anything they could Venmo me. How have you beaten the system?
