#speakup

I’m a huge Project Runway fan. I’ve watched every season, and I think there are lessons in there for life. First off – don’t complain or argue. I’m a creative and the vast majority of my work is collaborative. Negative feedback is inevitable, so take it with grace and find the nugget you can use. Those who do that on the runway always make it. This week’s episode told another story. In a team challenge, one member didn’t speak up enough and was bullied by the other two into accepting their ideas and doing most of the work for a collection that failed. It was infuriating to watch, but the lesson is in there too. Speak up. Your future depends on it.
