The one word that comes to mind is “vulnerability”. There will be times during your career where things are overwhelming and difficult - emotionally, mentally and physically (e.g., family crisis, lots of work that needs to get out the door, etc). And it’s ok to let your team members know what’s going on and get support. And yes, it is ok to also say that you just can’t come into work today. I bring that “vulnerability” to work every day, it’s my super power. It provides a safe space for other people to come to work and bring their full selves - if you are going through something difficult and then you come to work and shut it off, you aren’t really “showing up”. And “showing up” allows you to tap into areas you didn’t even know existed.

The Best Leaders Are Vulnerable

Create expectations and a structure around getting to know your colleagues on a personal level that is within work hours and doesn't rely on alcohol so everyone can participate. For instance, regular weekly or monthly lunches that don't get moved.

Creative Directors, don't over-explain your creatives' point during a pitch or client meeting. If you brought them to the meeting it's because you thought they could articulate the work themselves. Also, there's no need for 5 people to answer the same client question. Clients hate that. Fact.

Less Is More: Why You’re Saying Too Much And Getting Ignored

The key things to show in an interview, when you have very little professional experience are:
Personality
Resilience
Thinking outside the box
Times you've been out of your comfort zone
Team work
Passion
Whether this is through sports, travelling, internships or being the oldest of 5 children. If you give examples of how you've pushed yourself and used your initiative, you'll stand out. Also, remember to smile, charisma can take you far.

The muse article on what not to say when you have little experience

Assume good intent. Go through your day, your job, and your interactions with other people with good intent. It puts you in the headspace of leading from a place of positivity and problem-solving rather than avoidance or negativity.
