Camille Edwards on being a positive influence


Camille Edwards managed large newsrooms across the country in big cities like New York, Chicago, and Washington, D.C. She’s led teams covered thousands of news stories during her 30 year career. A good portion of those stories were tragic. 


She had to always be a positive influence for her team even during times of tragedy. Camille Edwards put in the time and effort it takes to remain positive even when there is a lot of negativity. How? She was always constantly taking the “pulse” of her team. Camille Edwards asked a lot of questions and tried to solve problems that were barriers to whatever the goal was at the time. 

Camille Edwards always listened to her team members. Sometimes that all she did because creative people want to be heard and not told what to do. They need to know that you have their back no matter the circumstances and that they can always count on you to be a positive influence.

Camille Edwards and Goal Setting


Camille Edwards has never been one to set goals. She believes that if you want to be successful or are already are successful you will do, whatever it takes to achieve your goals. Now is the time of year when people have already written down their goals. 

And this is already the time of year where they have failed at their goals. Why? Camille Edwards says because their goals are too lofty. Shooting for the stars should not be your focus she says. Smaller, bite sized action items are the best approach according to Camille Edwards. 


“Don’t overwhelm yourself with unobtainable goals. Instead dissect your big ideas and break them down to individual tasks.” By doing so, that will allow you to successfully achieve some of the tasks according to Camille Edwards. “That positivity will keep you motivated and keep you going.”
