The Work-Life Warrior Blog is a project that I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. In my years working in the corporate world, I’ve picked up some great lessons. I want to share these with peers all over the world. I love sharing helpful tips to young professionals – much like my mentors before me.
I am Julian Carlo Yu Sison – and I am a Work-Life Warrior.
AS A PROFESSIONAL
I’m a marketer with a decade’s worth of experience in different industries. I have worked in the front lines and climbed the ranks to head teams to mount successful marketing campaigns. I have enjoyed positions in events, product management, brand management, team management, and creatives.
Here is a list of what I’ve learned from my personal and professional experiences:
I can manage a small or medium-sized team well to achieve goals:
– I make genuine connections with them and lead by example
– I translate management speak in a way that gets the team to truly comprehend the goal and how their roles fit into the plan
– I empower them and value my subordinates’ opinions
– Friendships with my co-workers transcend our time with a company: I still connect with former co-workers. Harmony = happiness.
– Motivating people is what I do best… and if I fail, I’m a good shoulder to cry on
I can define and direct a winning brand strategy
– I am data-driven and look at research first as a compass
– Working closely with creatives has instilled an adaptive sense of design in me that keeps up with modern advertising trends and beyond
– I practice the principles of marketing and brand strategy and tweak them as my industry requires
I’m constantly hungry for personal improvement
– Learning never stops with me: I listen to audiobooks, video, and read up whenever I can. Topics range from marketing, business, fiction, publishing, music, gaming – you name it.
– I accept my flaws and work to cover them but focus on my strengths
– I share my learning and believe that every person I meet is an opportunity for mutual growth
Outside of work, I busy myself with reading fantasy fiction, playing strategic games, singing karaoke, writing a novel (or attempting to), and taking care of my two kids together with my amazing wife.
