Reflections from Creative Coaching

Coach Jeff Cruz, EVP, Chief Creative Officer, MRM, Detroit

To be honest, I went into the whole LIAisons experience with rather high expectations.
 
Sure, I appreciate the opportunity to be able to share some of my experiences and expertise, but I was also looking forward to hearing from - and being inspired by - the next generation of creatives.
 
And let me tell you, the dynamic duo of Isabel Harvey (Copywriter, BBDO Dublin) and Ivona Poljak (Art Director, BBDO Dublin), Liam Ratliff (Copywriter, Ogilvy, Melbourne) and Ronak Ramraje (Group Head Art at DDB Mudra group) certainly did not disappoint.
 
Each and every one of them made me even more excited about the future of our business. To a person, they were each their own version of immensely talented, infectiously charming, curious, insightful, and just plain amazing to chat with over the course of our series of great conversations. I truly enjoyed their thoughtful questions, their frank and honest answers to my questions, and sometimes even the nuggets of ideas they shared with me. I looked forward to each session and always left with my brain racing (in good ways) and my soul refueled.
 
I’m grateful I got the chance to connect with these fine folks and the entire LIAisons experience.
