[Music]
so I was talking to one of my clients
last night and she said oh I heard about
your TED talk I’m so excited for you
you’re gonna start with like a really
cool story right I said no I’m gonna
start with my bio and some stats about
the company and she said no you need to
start with a story something you know
that’ll make it the the people in the
crowd you know empathetic towards you
tug at their heartstrings say something
interesting and so I had to kind of go
back to the drawing table the thing is I
wasn’t sure if I should take her advice
let me tell you a little bit something
about her she has 11 million subscribers
on YouTube
she has unicorn hair and I had to kind
of figure that she knew better than me
so here goes I was working at a movie
studio about 6 or 7 years ago
and I was doing everything I could to
network and meet a lot of women in a
space and there was one particular woman
her name was Wendy and I emailed her all
the time
I I wanted to get to know her I actually
had to limit my my emails to once a
month because I don’t want to be too
crazy I would try to go on the second
floor and and try to pass by your office
and and then kind of walk slower you
know as I walk by your office hi Wendy I
asked her to get lunch with me I don’t
even know how many times and every time
she was always booked this this kind of
happened to me quite a few times along
the course of my career and I couldn’t I
couldn’t explain why for some reason
women just aren’t that that interested
in helping other women so today I’m
gonna do something different I’m
actually gonna turn the tables and try
to help some women who might want to
move forward I’m here to try to give you
five steps to help you move forward in
your career and maybe
even find the job of your dreams or
create your own my name is Ashley Villa
and I own a talent management company we
represent you know content creators
bloggers women in fashion beauty
lifestyle YouTube stars does anyone here
know what vloggers and content creators
are does anyone know that these people
actually have huge teams behind them
they actually have publicists attorneys
agents managers videographers editors
it’s not a small team is actually a lot
of people but what is a manager when
someone asks me what a manager is I say
we can make your dreams come true what
do you want to do do you want to star in
a television show do you want to create
your own unicorn shimmer body lotion
with your name on it
do you want to be in a movie we can help
you do all that I mean it’s kind of a
sales tactic but I think it’s true I
will I believe in it I think we really
can do all that so I’m here to also talk
to you about my transition from attorney
to manager which is what I do now I
actually started working in
international film sales that was my
dream job they worked at a movie studio
I was actually working for years to go
to law school and eventually be able to
go to you know con Film Festival and
Toronto Film Festival I was so excited
to be able to be part of that world
except when I got there for some reason
it wasn’t actually where I wanted to be
for some reason I I really thought that
I could do more and so I actually got a
call I remember this day really clearly
from my sister Stephanie and she said I
have a really good friend she is on
YouTube she’s actually you know having
doing really well on YouTube and a lot
of brands are starting to want to work
with her I need you to find her digital
media attorney can you help her and so
I’m like sitting in my office and I’m
like okay I’ll find one but I looked
around and there was
no such thing as a digital media
attorney the a YouTube attorney I
couldn’t find one so as a favor to my
sister and her best friend I actually
started doing the deals myself for her
but I was like YouTube I work in movies
and I want to work in YouTube with
YouTube I don’t want to do that but as
the deal started coming in I started
getting more excited a lot of the deals
were fashion related or Beauty related
and she got to work with really cool
brands and I started actually becoming
really excited about her deals more than
you know the director deals and the TV
development deals that I had actually
thought were the types of deals that I
wanted to work towards so it kinda was a
natural progression and I actually
started to get other YouTube clients
because they couldn’t find attorneys and
they need them too and just because of
the course of the business and the way
that the deals were so intricate you
know how many talking points is she
gonna mention in the YouTube video the
brand wants her to say certain things
how long is the YouTube video how many
Instagram posts does she need to have
what date is she gonna post them I
actually started to naturally manage
some of these clients and for this
particular girl who was growing very
very rapidly on YouTube and fashion I
actually became her manager quite
quickly as a kind of a side business on
top of what I had already been doing and
now four years later I actually have my
own management company it’s female owned
female run and female driven and that
means that everyone who works on my
company as a female all of our clients
are a female and you know the industry
fashion and beauty is female oriented we
have an extremely global reach I connect
my clients to multi media deals brand
collaborations they work with some of
the biggest brands in the industry from
say Kim Kardashian or Netflix or maybe
YSL Beauty Fenty we work with pretty
much all the biggest brands in the space
and some of my clients have won you know
top ten Forbes beauty awards
Russian awards this year one of my
clients she actually won the 2018
n-double-a-cp
influencer of Year award which i think
is a huge feat one of my clients has 11
million subscribers on YouTube
she was the for the voice of the fourth
Powerpuff Girl and Cartoon Network the
newest one which I thought was really
cool one has pretty much a sold out
fashion line that drops every other
month and I’m really proud of one of my
clients who actually partnered with Too
Faced this year and expanded their
foundation line by nine shades and
that’s nine shades a foundation that
women of color didn’t have before to
choose from okay so enough about me
talk myself up quite a bit now and we’re
gonna move into career tips how you can
actually create the job of your dreams
and be at the top of the ladder okay
number one you must put in the hard work
to gain experience in my mind hard work
is the foundation to get to where you
want to go you need to gain experience
get the knowledge and only then will you
become an expert in that field I’d have
I like to say something about hard work
and being the smartest you don’t have to
be the smartest to get to where you want
to go
I remember my college roommate Renee she
had a photographic memory she could
study for about an hour for a test and I
would study all weekend and after we
took the quiz with the test she would
get a I would get nay but I worked way
harder than she did to get the a but we
still ended up at the same place hard
work beats talent alone you can’t just
have talent to get to where you want to
go you have to couple it with hard work
don’t compare your journey to someone
else’s I think this is super important
because with the rise of social media we
can see what you know other people are
doing all the time
literally peep into their life on
Instagram story anytime
and everyone’s doing some cool stuff you
know is anyone here take photos for
Instagram
and put them on Instagram okay some
people do that’s great and does anyone
here take photos of themselves in the
library when they’re studying and still
post them on Instagram hair bun mess no
one exactly no one’s posting you know
photos of themselves when they’re
struggling everyone’s posting photos of
what they want everyone else to see so
don’t let that you know judge don’t let
that affect your image of yourself do it
for yourself he doesn’t no one else will
if you can always ask for help but at
the end of the day no one’s gonna do for
you what you can only do for yourself
you have to get yourself there no one
else is going to do it for you and it
won’t over happen overnight so keep
going I I looked to some of my clients
for inspiration on this one of my
clients she’s been on YouTube for seven
years and she’s posted at least one
video a week on YouTube for seven years
she’s missed two weeks only two two
weeks of videos in that entire time some
of my other clients have been on YouTube
for over 10 years and you know for the
first nine years that they were doing
YouTube they’re not getting press
packages with all the coolest makeup or
having fashion lines send them clothes
to wear to fashion shows that’s just not
happening so you’ve got to keep going
you can’t just start start from
beginning and expect to see huge results
create your reputation is number two
nothing’s more important than your
reputation whatever you do do it well
and how you do anything is how you do
everything you know know there’s a lot
of times when I’m you know reading
contracts super late and I kind of want
to glaze over things you can’t just
glaze over things every single word that
you’re reading is important confidence
and your knowledge and skills is the
foundation to seize new opportunities
you need to actually take a look inside
yourself and know that you not only need
to be prepared for when something great
is going to happen to you but
you need to actually put in the time you
can’t actually get gain confidence until
you put in some time for things that
you’re doing it’s kind of like what they
say about when preparation and luck to
get opportunity preparation plus
opportunity preparation plus locules
opportunity I can’t remember now
but you have to have all of those things
at the same time to actually seize those
opportunities when they come okay start
anywhere a lot of people say I don’t
know where to start what do I do
literally just if you can’t figure it
out
zero in on something that you’re
interested in and just jump into that
that field get some knowledge like doing
something is better than doing nothing
guys go above and beyond like if you’re
if you’re being an intern and you need
to go get coffee figure out what your
boss is favorite coffee is she loves her
almond milk steep but she loves her
almond milk to be steamed and she loves
Splenda will make that coffee the best
coffee she’s ever had she won’t forget
you if you’re ready making a Christmas
card list
make sure that every single detail of
that Christmas card is correct because
you know if one small number is off then
they won’t get their card and add real
value I think this is super important
because you can’t actually add real
value until you get some skills so just
jump in and try to get those skills in
any way that you can carve out a niche
for yourself and become indispensable
hone your new unique package so as I was
sitting at my my desk realizing that you
know I didn’t actually want to do film
sales anymore I didn’t want to do movies
I actually wanted to work with youtubers
I actually had to go back to the drawing
table because I didn’t have skills to
represent those youtubers I mean I could
do contracts but I needed to really get
into digital media and learn the space
so I actually quit my job that I was
doing and I went to work at a startup
digital media company so that I could
actually jump into the space and learn
about digital media I kind of had to let
my previous stream go and start starting
new what I had to start from scratch but
that was okay because now after I worked
a year that company I was able to to
learn more
about the space and you know some of the
contracts we were drafting none of them
even existed and I noticed that some of
those contracts that I had drafted back
in the early days of digital media and
those those types of YouTube deals are
still kind of floating around okay so
this goes back to what I was saying
before you need to you need to actually
get some skills in your space before you
can actually influence other people okay
and then now I’m going to give a little
talk about networking and how to do
networking well because I actually think
that networking unfortunately is
something that’s important that you have
to do as you grow and you’re in your
career sometimes it’s not something that
you really want to do and like you don’t
want have to go out and meet new people
but it’s kind of important to actually
hone those relationships when I whenever
I had an internship I would try to get
lunch with one of the executives at
least once a week just ask around he
will talk to you just go and get lunch
and then when you’re actually in your
job don’t just get lunch with your you
know fellow colleagues when you’re
connected to someone over email reach
out after you you know you send the
email and then you reach out again and
you say hey by the way I’d love to you
know get coffee with you you don’t want
the same company as me but I’d love to
get to know you meet with people inside
and outside of your company and lastly
build for the future so I was my first
job out of college I was second
assistant to a prolific music attorney
he was he’s a badass he represents some
of the biggest names in music and I was
a second assistant that was ten years
ago and now one of my clients she
actually wants to become a singer so who
did I hire to represent her as an
attorney well my old boss so it really
can’t happen where you know you hone
these relationships and eventually
they’ll lead to more in many other ways
and you could have ever expected so this
is how you can do it build strong
working relationships oh okay and then
the fifth step as we move along and
start learning more and more about you
know your business and honing in those
skills it’s at that point once you’ve
gained some knowledge
we can actually start to make a change I
can look back and learn about how I can
empower other women how I did it
well I’ve hired only women in my company
but we have a company by women for women
and with women we actually work with
women every single day and all of our
clients are our female our females as
well so now that I’ve actually been able
to hone some of my skills and move
forward in my career kind of in a way
that I wanted to shape it we’ve actually
been able to help women in other ways
outside of just in the work in the
workforce when I was working at a movie
studio they would get lunch every single
day and by they I mean the boys club the
boys club would get lunch every single
day and I wasn’t allowed to go and so
after a while in fact I started to bring
my own lunch because I wasn’t allowed to
be in the boys club but now we’re in a
position where women can actually help
each other we can actually have our own
club and in fact I would like to say
that whatever your gender your true
pronoun or gender identity you can
actually sit come sit with us you can
actually come to our club it doesn’t
have to be a boys club in fact there
might always be a boys club but now we
have our own club and I don’t I don’t
have to go to your club anymore Emily
Weis a CEO of la CA said it really well
she said I think reality television has
made the fashion and beauty industry any
industry seem much different than it
really is and there’s a lot of
misconception that fashion jobs are
really glamorous that leads to
entitlement and a lot of unrealistic
expectations about what an entry-level
job is I’d like to take to take a moment
to think about that as you’re as you’re
going through your job and you’re not
feeling like you’re making a difference
I hear a lot of Millennials say you know
I’m really not interested in my job I
don’t feel like I’m making a change in
this world that’s okay why aren’t you a
hone your skills and even if it’s not
exactly the job of your dreams yours
still gaining some some relationships
and you’re still getting some skills so
that eventually you can get to where you
want to go and you can shape the career
of your dreams you can climb to the top
of the ladder just by gaining more
knowledge and working hard so I have a
thought in my conclusion and that’s you
know they say a lot of things about
social media they say that it can be for
positive or for the negative but I
really do believe that it’s going to be
doing more positive things than negative
things and I can take myself as an
example I’ve been able to hone
relationships through social media I’ve
been able to create opportunities for my
clients through social media I’ve built
my entire business on social media and
it’s actually fostered a community of
women that I don’t think could have
connected in any other way we started a
foundation based around the fact that
females have a platform on social media
and they can band together to help each
other and connect each other I’ve
learned through the past couple of years
how amazing the entrepreneurial spirit
can be once awakened I’ve worked harder
for myself and then I would have for
anyone else that’s for sure and I really
think that once women can come together
we can pay it forward and help each
other thank you [Applause]
so I was talking to one of my clients
last night and she said oh I heard about
your TED talk I’m so excited for you
you’re gonna start with like a really
cool story right I said no I’m gonna
start with my bio and some stats about

skills it’s at that point once you’ve
gained some knowledge
we can actually start to make a change I
can look back and learn about how I can
empower other women how I did it
well I’ve hired only women in my company
but we have a company by women for women
and with women we actually work with
women every single day and all of our
clients are our female our females as
well so now that I’ve actually been able
to hone some of my skills and move
forward in my career kind of in a way
that I wanted to shape it we’ve actually
been able to help women in other ways
outside of just in the work in the
workforce when I was working at a movie
studio they would get lunch every single
day and by they I mean the boys club the
boys club would get lunch every single
day and I wasn’t allowed to go and so
after a while in fact I started to bring
my own lunch because I wasn’t allowed to
be in the boys club but now we’re in a
position where women can actually help
each other we can actually have our own
club and in fact I would like to say
that whatever your gender your true
pronoun or gender identity you can
actually sit come sit with us you can
actually come to our club it doesn’t
have to be a boys club in fact there
might always be a boys club but now we
have our own club and I don’t I don’t
have to go to your club anymore Emily
Weis a CEO of la CA said it really well
she said I think reality television has
made the fashion and beauty industry any
industry seem much different than it
really is and there’s a lot of
misconception that fashion jobs are
really glamorous that leads to
entitlement and a lot of unrealistic
expectations about what an entry-level
job is I’d like to take to take a moment
to think about that as you’re as you’re
going through your job and you’re not
feeling like you’re making a difference
I hear a lot of Millennials say you know
I’m really not interested in my job I
don’t feel like I’m making a change in
this world that’s okay why aren’t you a
hone your skills and even if it’s not
exactly the job of your dreams yours
still gaining some some relationships
and you’re still getting some skills so
that eventually you can get to where you
want to go and you can shape the career
of your dreams you can climb to the top
of the ladder just by gaining more
knowledge and working hard so I have a
thought in my conclusion and that’s you
know they say a lot of things about
social media they say that it can be for
positive or for the negative but I
really do believe that it’s going to be
doing more positive things than negative
things and I can take myself as an
example I’ve been able to hone
relationships through social media I’ve
been able to create opportunities for my
clients through social media I’ve built
my entire business on social media and
it’s actually fostered a community of
women that I don’t think could have
connected in any other way we started a
foundation based around the fact that
females have a platform on social media
and they can band together to help each
other and connect each other I’ve
learned through the past couple of years
how amazing the entrepreneurial spirit
can be once awakened I’ve worked harder
for myself and then I would have for
anyone else that’s for sure and I really
think that once women can come together
we can pay it forward and help each
other thank you [Applause]
