Love the answer? Share it!TwitterLinkedin0Facebook0Presenting to an audience is different than presenting to a client. Understand the difference in purpose of the presentation.

Love the answer? Share it!TwitterLinkedin0Facebook0Doubt means a discussion within your head.

Love the answer? Share it!TwitterLinkedin0Facebook0this has two questions with subtle difference and i think they both need answers in our profession as well as in life.

Love the answer? Share it!TwitterLinkedin0Facebook0A: That’s a very good question. How do we know what we are capable of? how do we know how much we can do in a day?

Love the answer? Share it!TwitterLinkedin0Facebook0A: It is to understand who is a creative director, what is his role to understand what activities are expected of him in or out of office.
