I love my manager

I was in a yoga relaxation class last night where we were instructed to empty our mind and then think of one person in our life who has made the difference.

If I asked you to guess who came to mind I would assume you’d answer, “your mum, boyfriend, best friend maybe?” You would be wrong. The person I thought of was my Creative Director. It made me think.

From day one I have felt inspired, motivated, supported and cared for, and most importantly I have been given the freedom to be myself, which has had a massive impact on the work I do. I feel I’m flourishing and I know it will continue because of his management style.

Don’t get me wrong; it’s not always a bed of roses. We debate, challenge each other and often throw the odd paper ball at each other when really annoyed, but I love it. I love the bad days as much as the good ones because there’s a mutual respect and understanding.

This relationship has educated me in so many ways that I hope to make a difference to someone’s life in my career.
