Recognizing & Excelling in Ambiguity with Katie Miserany, VP of Communications at Momentive

“Being young and not knowing how things are supposed to go created in me this real comfort with ambiguity and the acknowledgement that there's a ton of opportunity in ambiguity. So if you can embrace that and lean into it and accept that there's no right way to do anything. Everybody's just trying to chart their own path together. And as long as you're aligned on the goals and you're organized and you're going to stay focused on the objectives that the company is trying to achieve, you can learn a lot and get a lot of responsibility really early in your career.” — Katie Miserany ----------- Episode Timestamps: *(2:00) - How Katie got interested in internal communications *(4:15) - Story Time Segment *(5:08) - The SurveyMonkey to Momentive rebrand  *(7:55) - Working with Sheryl Sandberg & the Dave Goldberg Family Foundation *(14:15) - Getting Tactical Segment *(17:15) - Preparing employees for a successful rebrand *(21:41) - How the rebrand name came to be Momentive *(28:25) - Top 3 rebrand must-do’s for internal comms professionals  *(38:20) - Asking for a Friend Segment   *(41:10) - Overcoming barriers as a woman  *(44:00) - The biggest challenge internal communications professionals will face in the future   Links Katie’s LinkedIn Katie’s Twitter Sheryl Sandberg’s books www.momentive.ai Amanda’s LinkedIn  www.simpplr.com/podcast
