Many of us try to find (or scramble for) meaning through our work, but our career's ascension is no longer as a straightforward ‘one step at a time’ ladder, like it may have looked in decades past.

Sometimes it’s playful and engaging — other times, just getting up and being involved is an upward struggle.

Navigating change: Insights into change management with Flo Akingbade

Hello there, Calley Bliss here with installment 9 on this series I call Resonant Response, The Language of Business, the Voice of Culture. So far in this series I’ve kept things pretty macro in terms of the ways that various external factors can play into our working communications.

Now, as leaders try to navigate a world that seems to be spinning ever faster, with chaos growing more intense, uncertainty thick, and our sense of direction as clear as mud - particularly in areas like advertising and agency work where the objective is to grab attention - it's easy to get distracted, overwhelmed, or generally be asking yourself,

“Now what?”
