Top Takeaways

1. Don't underestimate the power of debriefing. If things went poorly, this isn't the time to reprimand but rather its time to grow.
2. Giving credit doesn't mean you're not taking any. Take the opportunity to lift others up with you.
3. Every good branding campaign begins with empathy.
