At work, I juggle multiple issues at one time and communicate both internally and externally.
A great day at work is when we are accomplishing goals and being able to see and quantify that accomplishment. For instance, getting positive feedback of any kind makes it a great day at work and accomplishing goals is part of that. The best days are when we pass thresholds for viewership or membership or when we get more iPads out into the community.

In a communications centered occupation, you can't do anything unless you can learn to write and communicate well. Learning how to write is an important skill to have before you can learn to manage people.
