>> I like the freedom, first of all, I would say,
within my job as far as, like, how my schedule is.
I like the fact that I'm in marketing, that it's creative.
I like the fact that I manage people.
I like the fact that, you know, it's entertainment and it's fun at times.
You know, and I like to tell people, listen, we're not here to cure cancer,
we're here to ensure that people are having fun.
But at the same time, you know, people giving their credit cards and the proper procedure
and order is just very important.
Making sure that certain talents are getting their interviews lined
up properly are very important as well, you know.
So I think that's the fun part about it.
You know, sometimes when you're managing people you feel like you're babysitting people.
So I have an 8-year-old child.
And so I feel like, gosh, sometimes my child is just more mature
than some adults at times, you know.
But at the same time, it just makes me appreciate my communication degree
that I got from Cal State Long Beach.
It makes me go back and think, OK, how can I use any of these tools that I used in undergraduate
and graduate school and apply it to my profession now as far as conflict resolution,
as far as interpersonal communication skills, you know, nonverbal communication?
You know, for instance, I had to have a meeting this past week with my staff just
to let them know, like, 80% of your communication is nonverbal.
So if you have a colleague coming to you and you have a disgruntled look on your face,
chances are they could feel like, ugh, this person is against me,
and it really could create some barriers.
