You are an exceptional communicator (at all levels, including with executives) and can lead and work with teams and clients to not only sell the big ideas but also collaborate and compromise to meet goals, budgets, and time constraints.

• You’re curious. As in, late night, all day, one more page, one more link, keep asking questions curious.
• You’re a natural-born, career honed, supernaturally blessed, idea weaving communicator.
• You’re brave. You will walk out with a rock and a sling. You will face the blank canvas. Grinning.
• You’re OK with being vulnerable. You’re OK asking for help. You’re willing to trust a tribe member.
• You either never had an ego or had it surgically removed. Collaboration is as natural as breathing.
• You assume positive intentions. Gotta problem? No problem. Get past it. Address it in 48 hours, if not sooner.
• When you hear the word “creative,” your immediate response is, “Aren’t we all?” No. Boxes. Here.
