Summer of transformation (1/2) 🌳 Guess who can now sing "and when I'm back in Chicago" and actually mean it ;) I love LA, but spending ten days in a city that feels so "city" made me feel alive! This May, I was selected to join a distinguished cohort of students from USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism for the Chicago Maymester, an immersive professional experience in the Windy City. From speed walking in the Loop and morning lobby debriefs to family-style pizza and group manifestations, this trip ranged from stimulating to wholesome. What kind of strategist would I be if I didn't summarize the key learnings? 🔑 How to learn multi-dimensionally: Exploring a breadth of industries including music, sports, news, radio, and PR in a short span can seem overwhelming. We often gravitate towards our core interests and limit our attention elsewhere. I made a conscious effort to give equal attention to every area, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much each one enriched my perspective on my core passions of advertising and entertainment. 🔑 How to ask good questions: I am certain the formula for good questions is being prepared with context + active listening + predicting white spaces that everyone might benefit from + my own POV + succinct articulation + confidence! 🔑 How to take up space: Imagine speed-dating, but instead, you're visiting companies, learning about them, listening, and networking! This experience pushed me to make myself be seen and heard in professional settings and realize that space isn't scarce. There is enough room for my colleagues and me to gain value! I'm grateful to the teams at all our company visits at FCB Chicago, Golin, Weber Shandwick, NewsNation, Grubhub, Wasserman, Big Ten Network, Kevin Pang, Chicago Bulls, Chicago Blackhawks, Octagon, Flowers Communications Group, McDonald's, WBEZ Chicago and the Obama Foundation for creating such enriching learning interactions. A big thank you to Fred Cook, Melanie Scherenzel-Cherry, Mike Ploszek, and Katy Kelly for organizing a wealth of insightful company visits. And finally, a big shoutout to the whole group for being superstars—you all shine so bright ⭐ #chicago #uscannenberg #networking #fighton
