6. The Numbers Are People
Here’s a little secret to spill. Those numbers you’re looking at to tell you that you are doing good work...those numbers are people. This week, Marian and Shaunna talk about analytics and the numbers, and while we have to be aware of them, we cannot be controlled by them as creatives. They pose questions for us to consider: Are we looking to the numbers for worthiness and validation When are the numbers enough? How much more genuinely will we share our work and creative voice when we put faces to the numbers we use as our personal rating scale? They remind themselves and us all to see the numbers as what they truly are, a gift to each of us. To remember these numbers are people, walking alongside us as we build our body of creative work. You can find Marian and Shaunna at www.thecreativeexponent.com where they continue their passionate conversation around all things creative.
