Building your table of influence
Here’s the edited version of your copy, incorporating the idea that these lessons apply beyond traditional creative roles:
As creatives, we often aspire to secure a seat at “the table”—seeking recognition, influence, and the opportunity to shape key decisions. But here's the truth: we already have a table of our own, brimming with unique insights, diverse experiences, and the ability to make a real impact. The challenge lies in recognizing and leveraging it.
This session is designed for in-house creative professionals looking to grow their careers, expand creative opportunities, and develop leadership skills. However, the lessons shared go beyond traditional creative roles. No matter where you work or what your role is, creativity isn’t confined to a title or department—it’s a mindset.
Together, we’ll explore how to identify and unlock opportunities for authentic connections and influence within your organization, empowering you to make an impact without waiting for an invitation.
