Last week, The Bliss Group co-hosted an Emerging Leaders Rally in partnership with The Plank Center for Leadership in Public Relations’ Emerging Leaders Committee at our New York office. Panelists Brandi Boatner from IBM, D'Anthony Jackson, M.S. from Ogilvy, and Bliss’s own Darcy Dehais touched on everything from how to stand out as a young professional to tips for managing up. Here are a few of our favorite takeaways from the evening: - Stay true to your personal brand. Be yourself in everything you do and bring your full self to work.? - Be curious. Although it may be intimidating, don’t be afraid to ask questions and ask for feedback.? - Practice self-awareness. Whether it’s in recognizing your strengths and weaknesses to discovering your interests, it’s essential in showing up as a good teammate and evolving leader.?? ?
