How to Set the Tone in Meetings

When we get our first opportunities and jobs as Screenwriters, we are so grateful to finally be doing this for a living that many of us naturally slip into a "people-pleasing" role. We want to please our reps and our producers, and this can often shift the power dynamic in our business relationships in a way that starts to work against us as creators and career-builders. It is easy, as a Screenwriter, to feel like a child in a room of adults in suits. In this episode, hosts Tasha Huo and Josh Hallman discuss why setting the tone in your meetings is important to your long-term career goals, and how to start setting the tone in your own meetings. Their big reminder: This is not about ego, it's simply about setting yourself up for a successful career as a powerful creative voice.   Questions / Comments: [email protected] Edited by the GREAT Paul Lundquist Music by 414beg
