interviewing skills
Whether you run your own company, are part of a high flying team or work as a freelancer - pretty much everyone of us will be undervaluing our intellectual assets. Yet they are the one thing that is totally unique to each of us, has the potential to create new value and will go on accruing as we get older... win, win, win.
So what do I mean by 'intellectual assets'? In a nutshell your intellectual assets are everything that has got you to here now. Without exception. Your childhood experience, your home, your lifelong client list, what you've ever been paid to do, your connections. By mapping these and auditing them inventively, you can develop a creative 'offer' that no-one will ever be able to compete with - because they are not you.
Standing back to see the patterns, the overlaps, the skills, new interesting sectors, services you can take from one client to another helps widen and refresh your offer. You can do it annually and each time new perspectives will emerge.
This methodology works across the board. It is simple and highly effective. And you already own the 'ingredients'.

Founder @ Lola Media Ltd Understanding and developing the value of intellectual assets is part of the methodology I developed in helping over 300 creative agencies and professionals to grow their business. Because I can only work with a given number at any one time, I poured my knowledge about this into a book to make it accessible to everyone. With only 5* reviews on Amazon, it will help you unpack the intellectual asset thinking to find new revenues and value in your own business - from what you already own.
leadership skills
Balancing kindness and assertiveness can be pretty challenging.
I’ve come to realize that first, you need to gain respect. Then, with it, you earn the luxury to be nice.

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.

Co-Founder @ SheSays salary negotiation skills
Whatever you do, don’t take the first offer--everyone likes a little bit of a battle, but at the same time don’t encourage a guessing game. Give feedback on every point of the negotiation while being direct about what you want, but be sure to consider the whole package (like extra holidays, maternity leave, etc.). Think about it as a long-term investment that’s not just about the immediate income.

Highly performing teams always do a retrospective after each project. They discuss what went well, what didn't and things to change for future projects. It gives them a competitive advantage.
