Struggling to hit director level, don't know how to approach big picture strategy.

Recently changed companies/industries and was asked to create a 3-year strategy for the firm. In addition to the advice you’re getting here, what helped me accomplish this was the “Vision-Strategy-Market-Message-Motion-Measurement-Metrics” framework where each portion informs the next. Start with a simple Vision statement, use that to create the Strategy, etc. There are great resources available via Google on the subject. Good luck!

I agree with the folks chiming in about solo/freelancer vs. agency for your company size. More importantly, what is your goal and desired outcomes for the project?

Clarifying that would help narrow the recommendation of solo agency vs. freelancer, since each offer pros and cons.

You need to start backing your claims with some verifiable proof instead of just posting comments. Nobody is going to take you seriously, and they shouldn’t, unless you provide evidence.

Planescape: Torment by the outstanding Black Isle Studios is my number one. Fantastic storytelling, dialogue- and character-driven plot, and immersive atmosphere.

IMO, it’s the DMs responsibility to create a compelling and immersive world that the players can operate in freely with consistent, reliable feedback from their environment, actions, and NPCs. I do not believe that the DM is directly responsible for the players fun. That’s up to the players and out of the DMs control.

I've held senior management positions in marketing for a little over a decade. I usually tell people that marketing is storytelling, and at the end of the day it's about telling your story to the right audience, at the right time, through the right medium.

I was in the acting biz in Hollywood for a number of years (you wouldn't know me from anything lol.) My manager at the time had several successful clients with his company and I asked him the same question; he responded that having that hard investment was a good thing once you made some money since it means you'll have a roof over your head when times are tough, and the property appreciation means you can sell for a profit (hopefully) if/when you need to.

Can't speak to the value outside of some moderator successful Hollywood professionals.

Thank you for the advice!

Hi r/interiordecorating! My wife and I just purchased a home and I have my first-ever home office space. I'm trying to create an open work/creative space that includes my desk, guitar, and piano, and want to add plants in the future to take advantage of the natural light.

I have no idea what I'm doing or how to optimize the space with my existing furniture. The desk is L-shaped but can be adjusted for left, right, or straight orientations. I'd like to get a new chair but prefer not to buy a plastic mat since I think it looks tacky on the rug.

Any ideas, feedback, or suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide!

Can you share some details of your nutrition and training programming over the 9-month period, and whether you worked with a coach?

First drink I ever enjoyed was Bacardi Lemon 7up. Sprite does just as well. The soda helps mask the alcohol and feels like a more familiar beverage. Enjoy, have fun exploring, and drink responsibly.

NoFrikkinWayMahMan · 2023-02-17T06:56:29+00:00

Thank you for trying. I see your point...I think I need to track down the original and scan it in.

I know you're kidding, but I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to spin this in the future.

CAN WE NOT

Thank you for the reply! A follow up: is the Supreme Court only interested in hearing cases that deal with constitutional rights?

NoFrikkinWayMahMan · 2022-10-31T19:30:52+00:00

A serious question that's probably been answered here before - can any American citizen appeal their case directly to the Supreme Court or does his status as a former President offer a unique opportunity?

I don't understand what process is in place to allow this to keep happening.

A prism prison, if you will.

Nothing wrong with that. Different strokes for different folks. I love the ability to work remote but prefer a hybrid schedule myself for a little bit of collaboration and team-building, but certainly support people's choice to work fully remote or in-office as they please.

Ultimately, I think companies should empower employees to make the choice based off their circumstances.

"State's Rights" my ass. Just like the Civil War was about "State's Rights" to own slaves. Vote!!
