'...the toughness, assertiveness and directness I’ve developed in my career are endlessly valuable — but in conjunction with my emotionality, sensitivity and vulnerability.'
TweetShareShare After 13 years of running my marketing and PR agency, Stanton & Company, I’ve learned a lot. I’ve been through lots of ups and downs and had many moments when I’ve looked myself in the mirror and asked, “Why am I doing this?” “Is this worth it?” and, “Am I even good at this?” Time and time again, I’ve come back to the realization that I have chosen and continue to choose this path because I love it.
For example, I used to feel that if things weren’t working with an employee, that was on me. I felt like a failure as a boss when I couldn’t figure out how to make things work with an employee who eventually left. But time and time again, the people we’ve hired when someone leaves are wonderful in new and different ways. They bring fresh energy and new perspectives. I realized this perceived “failure” can be a blessing in disguise.
My grandmother, who was a huge influence on me, always used to think of things as black and white. And while I see the merits in that perspective—for example, sometimes it’s helpful to clearly understand the difference between right and wrong—I’ve learned you can’t usually categorize things this way. It’s overly idealistic and simplistic.
Pick up the phone and call a friend who is going through a tough time. Leave a nice note for an employee. Buy someone you care about an unexpected gift. Volunteer at a local homeless shelter. Get involved in a philanthropic cause you care about. We aren’t trusting our gut in the absence of other critical information—we’re using it in addition. It is our built in and trustworthy guide.
