Theresa (Tess) Scollon’s Post

Today marked my 2 year anniversary as Vice President of Marketing at Newfi Lending! 🥳 Here’s what I’ve learned so far: 1️⃣ Perfection slows you down, but paying attention to the details is key to avoiding mistakes and saving time in the long run. 2️⃣ Solve problems quickly and focus on solutions, not your frustrations or feelings in the moment. 3️⃣ Good ideas can come from anyone or anywhere. Throw the marketing textbooks out the window, collaborate with others & embrace what works. 4️⃣ It’s never going to be a “good time” to try something new, invest in self improvement, or improve a part of your process—you can only make time. 5️⃣ Your team is everything. Whether it’s sales, other leaders, your direct reports, or your vendor partners— they are counting on you to show up, don’t let them down. There’s a lot more to learn, but this is a great start 🌟 Cheers to 2 years! 👏🏼 Shoutout to my INCREDIBLE marketing team who are the key to so many successes over the past 2 years: Bridgid Thomas (pictured because we live close enough to work together!), Gary Hadachek, and Zarra Nielson— thank you for your creativity, positive energy, trust & commitment to excellence. 😊

Four years ago I tripped into yet another opportunity, building One Day Agency. As with every other I came across, I said yes. Why? The learning opportunity was just immense to not take it as with all the previous ones. And that's how I got here today after a few countries and roles as a leader of an advertising agency: I focus on learning a ton and I care a ton. Over 30% of my weekly time is purely reading and absorbing content. And applying it, testing it, daily. In addition to some "hacks": - Change jobs regularly: you'll maximise the number of people you meet, the knowledge of each environment you can get access to, your financial potential, and so on unlocking more opportunities and knowledge. - Plan ahead: pick jobs that enable you the skills you will need in 2 years. Want to be the head of the department? Go into a job that will teach you all the knowledge needed to run that department. If that department has multiple silos, you guessed it, you'll need to learn all the silos meaning at times different jobs/roles. - Acquire self-awareness: talk to people openly about your shortfalls and seek advice, self-awareness is the most powerful tool for your personal development and career. - Open criticism: how are you going to do something better if you or your environment doesn't allow sharing ideas and criticism? You won't, you'll be average. - Don't fall into money traps: some life decisions such as buying a house or high-paying sales jobs are nothing but traps. I know, polarising. Great for the short term, really bad for the long term. - Invest in absorbing content, in learning, constantly, every day. You'd be surprised what 15 minutes a day does for you from unlocking new conversations or winning the pitch. Subscribe to relevant people on your phone. What are your hacks and advice to anyone looking to move the needle on their career?
