So true! I would add Personal stylist: you dress the leader for the stage, advise on color choice and cut—all for the purpose of executive presence and media. And Thought Partner: you brainstorm with the leader and create thought leadership positions that are crafted for the leader’s unique perspective. Also—I would love an essay about how you talked about yourself in interviews. With so many layoffs (Microsoft, 6000 people alone), this could be highly useful: how an expert storyteller told the story about herself! Thanks!

How did you know that one of my side quests is helping friends and colleagues figure out how to tell their own story in job interviews?? I'll absolutely write a future installment on that topic!
