JEN CHILDERS

Thought leader. Creative. Connector.

 
 

I am an experienced creative team leader with a demonstrated history of success working in a wide range of media, with a proven past of creating revenue-building solutions for start-ups and challenger brands in the luxury and retail industries. A champion of team cultures that inspire and facilitate collaboration, independent thought and personal growth.

 
 
 
 

Who I Am

I often ask my team, “What are your core values and how do they drive your decisions in your work?” A heavy-hitting question in disguise that helps provide a roadmap for leading others to their best performance and potential.

INTEGRITY. Connection. Family.

The number one core value that drives key results in my day-to-day work is integrity. Integrity is choosing courage over comfort. Choosing what is right over what is fun, fast, or easy. And choosing to “walk the talk” rather than speaking a good game. Sometimes this means having crucial conversations with team members, leadership, or myself.

Understanding the value of connection is the second most important detail to truly know me. I thrive on truly knowing someone on a personal and professional level. I want to know your goals; I want to know your dreams; and then I want to help you achieve them. Connecting people, departments, brands, and audiences to one another fuels the engine that drives me. Brené Brown says it best, “I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.”

In 40 years of media, I don’t know that I have ever been so impressed with a young designer as will Jen Childers. I wish I’d had the opportunity to hire her at WFAA, I would have done it ten times over.
