Breaking Down Creating Your Own Opportunities with Brett Essman

GAMETIME WITH SHAUNA GRIFFITHS. CONVERSATIONS WITH IMPACTFUL LEADERS.

Welcome back to THIS. with Shauna Griffiths!

This episode, Breaking Down Creating Your Own Opportunities features Brett Essman, a Art Director and Creative Director in the Advertising Agency world, who sports just the right amount of humble swagger as he leads in work, life, and in youth basketball.

One of the things I love most about this episode is the #LeadershipAthlete in Brett that shines so brightly. He clearly leads his own team, agency, and clients with incredible resilience and commitment to the pursuit of optimal performance. In his "spare time" he transfers his skills and mindset to his son's basketball team. As you listen - you'll notice the business and basketball lessons overlap. Whether you're at work or on the field of play - the rules of the game are much the same.

Tune-in to this episode to hear about:

  • His DM that hooked me and created this episode opportunity 
  • Brett's career journey that is evidence of his innate drive to create his own opportunities
  • What creating your own opportunities means to Brett
  • His three rules of teamwork that apply to business AND youth basketball 
  • Shifting perspectives to take on the challenge
  • Proactive problem solving that allows you to find solutions before clients know they exist
  • Nostalgic chatter among us two hoop-heads
  • Words of wisdom from the guy who thought he may be working at a Kinkos his whole life 
We hope you enjoy the episode and look forward to your feedback about it! Feel free to reach out to either of both of us directly on LinkedIn.
