Question:
What’s the best advice you ever received?
Lynda
Resnick: But
one thing that I think is very important and it’s the reason that I got into
advertising in the first place and that is if you’re in a meeting and you don’t
understand something, ask. If
someone is talking to you and what they’re saying doesn’t make sense, ask them
to explain it.
Doesn’t
mean you’re not smart. And if
you’re in a meeting, I guarantee you, everybody else is thinking the same thing
but they’re afraid to ask. But
it’s the only way you learn. And
when I was first starting out, I didn’t know how to do advertising, someone had
to teach me and the reps from the publications. When I was a teenager, when I was, like, 17 years old,
working in a dress shop, taught me how to make an ad, set type, and do all of
those things. And that’s how I
learned. And I still ask. I try to find the smartest people I can
and ask them what they think.
