PRINCIPLES OF THE LINE
The Line is a set of principles that I believe and honour, so that I can deliver the best project experience and product for my team, clients and myself.
Here's what they are...
DEADLINES
My single, most important objective is to work with you to get a project (in all its strategic and creative beauty) across the line. I strive to work to carefully curated project plans, but we all know that sometimes things just happen—whether that's not receiving client feedback on time or a WW2 Bomb is found in Soho and your office is evacuated (it's happened before).
Either way, I believe that accountability and confidence is imperative to clearly communicate the impacts of such changes. I focus on finding new solutions to meet the deadline, and I pride myself on communicating this as efficiently and clearly to all stakeholders.
COMMUNICATION LINES
Perfecting my communication is an ongoing skill that has led to project success and personal growth. From practicing authentic relating techniques, to relaying the details of a Scope of Work clearly for each team member, I believe that these are crucial attributes to maintain effective lines of communication in fast-paced environments.
I also encourage this transparency and communication with team members, so that everyone is empowered to answer project-related questions confidently.
SLACKLINES
We all know how difficult it is to maintain the balance between work-life and personal-life. It is a skill to find and maintain this balance, so I like to compare it to learning the art of slacklining.
I believe that finding balance takes ongoing work, but the key is to look straight ahead, listen to your needs, and continue to adjust and improve.
And although I am fully aware that projects may require more time and effort, being able to navigate back to this balance is necessary, as delivery is only as good as the person delivering it.
