Narrate A Newsletter For Strategic Problem Solvers

Holiday Reflection/Planning Ahead

 

In my last newsletter I wrote about the myriad career possiblities for strategic problem solvers.There are many ex-agency planners I could cite as examples who set up their own business, moved to a consultancy or have taken a dream job on the client-side. Trajectory and success varies, but  you don't ever fail by consciously assessing your circumstances and concluding that your effectivenss and sanity require you pursue not simply a job, but a reinvention or calling. This is a perfect time of the year to reflect and get inspired, with that in mind:

A shout out to those that seek to inspire others, both within and outside advertising, a few of them listed below.

Reading:

'How not to plan.' Les Binet 

'Strategy is your words.' Mark Pollard 

'The art of inspiring anybody.' Michael Fanuele -

'The art and science of modern account planning.' - Leslie Bielby

 'The creative curve.' Allen Gannett -                   

'The obstacle is the way.' Ryan Holiday -  I think is a  great read for all problem-solvers.)

'Discovering Hope' Stuart Parkin - Yours truly, on positivity. 

All the best,

Stuart
