My passion is to help young and aspiring media/creative professionals develop important personal attributes proven to be essential for long-term success in competitive, non-linear, and ever-evolving careers. The 12 Attributes of Extraordinary Media Professionals is both personal and personalized. YOU are the first and most important attribute, and this book seeks to connect who you are with additional attributes to put you in position to reach your highest aspirations--whatever they are. I've interviewed or observed hundreds of successful media professionals, overseen hundreds of internships, and mentored professionals in various area of media and entertainment. I'm excited to share my "deep learning" with illustrative stories, personal anecdotes, practical tips, and developmental exercises--mixed with a bit of humor (I hope!)--that will help you succeed now and in the long term.
