Careers in media and creative professions are extremely competitive, with less direct pathways to jobs and advancement relative than in more traditional or technical professions. Many future media professionals train for careers without a clear understanding that personal attributes like adaptability, integrity, and curiosity are just as important as any practical or theoretical knowledge.

Roger Cooper combines examples of successful media professionals with activities to begin readers' development of 12 attributes that will prove timeless and relevant regardless of an individual's career stage or the inevitable changes in business practices and technology.
