Episode 79. How Understanding Culture Can Help You Build Influence, Your Personal Brand & Your Career – Professor Marcus Collins
What is Culture and how can understanding it help you build influence, your personal brand and your career. I discussed this, his best-selling book For The Culture and so much more with Professor Marcus Collins on Episode 79 of the Reframe & Reset Your Career podcast. In this episode, we will learn about: How Marcus got his big break running digital strategy for Beyoncé, How he learnt that facilitating an existing community is more powerful than building it from scratch, What is culture and the three systems of culture? What is a congregation and how it can help spread the message? Differentiating products and services through the feelings they evoke rather than value and function, Moving your target audience through emotion, How brands like Patagonia and REI put their values into action even if it may potentially cost them financially, Find the “true believers”, who love you and your product and focus on cultivating a connection with them, Strategies for cutting through the noise and stand out from the crowd, and Creating content consistently over time and not focusing simply on what is popular as you never know who is viewing your content. Marcus believes there is no external force more influential to human behavior than culture. What we wear, what we eat, where we work, how we vote, and just about every facet of social living is informed by our cultural subscriptions. So he studies cultural contagion and how it manifests in our consumption proclivities, organizational dynamics, and society writ large. He leverages his scholarly work as a clinical professor at the Ross School of Business, University of Michigan, and the many years he spent in marketing as an advertising executive—most recently as the head of strategy at Wieden+Kennedy, New York—to bridge the academic-practitioner gap and use this knowledge to help people get people to take action. Throughout his career, he has been acknowledged for his strategic, creative, and scholarly contributions (American Advertising Federation’s Advertising Hall of Achievement inductee, Thinkers50 Radar Distinguished Achievement Award, Cannes Lion Creative Strategy juror, Ad Age's 40 Under 40 recipient, and Crain’s Business 40 Under 40 recipient) as well as launched successful campaigns like “Cliff Paul” for State Farm, the Made In America Music Festival, and Google’s “Real Tone” technology—among others. Before his tenure in advertising, he worked in music and tech as a startup co-founder. Then he led iTunes + Nike sports music initiatives at Apple before running digital strategy for Beyoncé. He is the author of the best-selling book, For The Culture, which examines the relationship between culture and human behavior. He has spent the last decade helping organizations—from Fortune 500 companies to startups and non-profits—use this knowledge to create culturally contagious ideas that get people to move. The book aims to do the same for readers. He is a graduate of Temple University (DBA) and the University of Michigan (BSE in Materials Science Engineering and MBA with an emphasis in strategic brand marketing).

Looking to understand how having vision and curiosity can help you create a strategy to progress at work and thrive in your career. I discussed this and so much more with Amanda Gibson on Episode 78 of the Reframe & Reset Your Career podcast. In this episode, we will learn about: Building your personal brand, What is strategy? Why is vision so important?, How testing and making small experiments can provide powerful insights and information to guide you, The power of building a following and a community, How strategy can be applied to your career, The value of exploring problems with friends and trusted colleagues, who can provide support and a different perspective, Why it’s important to be aware of the value you create, Strategies to help you pivot and transition in your career, and The value of sitting with uncertainty and being adaptable.

She helps senior leaders and organizations tackle their most complex challenges and accelerate success - particularly in times of significant change – so that they can deliver on their most critical growth, stakeholder, and leadership initiatives without burning people out in the process.

Episode 76. How To Navigate The Uncertainty & Disruption From M&A And Business Transformation – Jennifer J. Fondrevay
In this episode, we will learn about potential strategies for navigating the uncertainty, disruption and fear that comes from mergers, acquisitions and other business transformation. I discussed this and so much more with Jennifer J. Fondrevay, the founder of Day1 Ready™ and author of "Now What? A Survivor’s Guide for Thriving Through Mergers and Acquisitions", on Episode 76 of the Reframe & Reset Your Career podcast. In this episode, we will learn about: Pivoting from her initial dream to be the US Ambassador to France to a career in advertising and marketing, Building your personal brand and digital footprint with marketing principles, Being thoughtful about your appearance and respecting your audience whether at interview or presenting, Strengthening connections through finding commonalities, The lessons she learnt that helped her become a better leader, Her TEDx talk and focusing on the things we can control such as Talent, Effort & Attitude (TEA), The power of story telling, Managing the uncertainty and disruption arising from M&A and business transformation, Understanding the value you bring to any potential employer, and Don’t be afraid to move jobs if things are not working out but have a strategy to help you navigate the transition. Jennifer is the Founder of Day1 Ready™, a consultancy that advises forward-thinking business leaders, owners, and C-Suite executives on how to prepare for the human capital challenges of M&A. As a Fortune 500 C-Suite “survivor” of three multibillion-dollar acquisitions, Jennifer has been on all sides of the deal equation. She saw countless growth strategies fail due to a workforce that couldn’t pivot and adapt as quickly as leadership anticipated. When her Harvard Business Review (HBR) article “After a Merger, Don’t Let “Us vs. Them” Thinking Ruin the Company” went viral, Jennifer recognized the power and interest in a human-centric approach to business transformation, where employees are at the heart of the change. She shares her expertise as a contributor to: Forbes, Harvard Business Review, Thrive Global, American Marketing Association, Middle Market Growth; and as a frequent podcast guest and keynote speaker for HR conferences, associations, and Fortune 500 companies. Jennifer and I talked about how you can turn things round if you encounter difficulties when leading a new team. She told me "What they wanted to know is how was I going to help them in the present moment, right? They hadn't had a leader in a year and … I worked that much harder to see how can I help this team? What value do I bring to this team? It's not about what I've done in the past, but it's what I can do now to help them in the future, moving forward. It made me work so much harder … it was about what I could do to contribute to their future."

Episode 74. How Insights From Science Can Boost Your Creativity, Innovation & Career – Dr Jayshree Seth
How can insights from a successful career in science and engineering boost your creativity, innovation and career? I discussed this and so much more with Dr Jayshree Seth, Corporate Scientist and Chief Science Advocate at 3M, on Episode 74 of the Reframe & Reset Your Career podcast. In this episode, we will learn about: Not worrying about where your career starts and focusing on the journey, Developing creativity and incorporating innovation into your work, How learning from failure and being resilient can help your career The importance of good communication with your stakeholders and managing their expectations, The mosaic building framework, Becoming comfortable with change and uncertainty, Insights to stand out in a job interview, Strategies to develop your leadership skills and Not underestimating the impact of luck (good and bad) in your career. Jayshree is a Corporate Scientist at 3M and currently holds 80 patents for a variety of innovations, with several additional pending. She joined 3M in 1993 after an MS and PhD in Chemical Engineering from Clarkson University, New York. Jayshree was appointed 3M’s first ever Chief Science Advocate in 2018 and is using her scientific knowledge, technical expertise and professional experience to advance science and communicate the benefits of science and the importance of diversity in STEM fields to drive innovation.

Jayshree and I talked about learning from failure and she told me: "People are not that comfortable with not knowing and if it doesn't work the way they wished for it to work, it's a failure. Emulating this scientific approach, can benefit career development because you can just adopt a mindset of continuous experimentation and learning … See, we can only learn if we act. And if we act, we can fail. Of course, if you don't act, you can fail too, because you just failed to innovate … embracing failure is part of the learning journey. You build resilience, adaptability, willingness to take risk."

Episode 73. Getting Along: Strategies & Insights To Help You Work With Anyone – Amy Gallo
Looking for strategies and insights to help you work with anyone? Amy Gallo and I discussed this, her best-selling book Getting Along and so much more on Episode 73 of the Reframe & Reset Your Career podcast. In this episode, we will learn about: Don't be afraid to reach out to people you don't know, people are more helpful than you realise and fortunately, Amy said yes, when I asked her for this episode, How Amy played to her strengths and shaped her career to align with them, The potential benefits of facing up to and managing conflict at work, Why good relationships at work matter, Dealing with passive aggressive behaviour at work, Managing a difficult boss, especially an insecure one, Dealing with a political operator at work and how to get fair credit for your efforts on a project, The benefits of diverse teams, and Other principles for getting along with your colleagues. Amy is a workplace expert who writes and speaks about gender, interpersonal dynamics, difficult conversations, feedback, and effective communication. She is the author of Getting Along: How to Work with Anyone (Even Difficult People) and the HBR Guide to Dealing with Conflict, as well as hundreds of articles for Harvard Business Review. For the past three years, Amy has co-hosted HBR’s popular Women at Work podcast, which examines the struggles and successes of women in the workplace. She is frequently sought out by media outlets for her perspective on workplace dynamics, conflict, and difficult conversations. Her advice has been featured in The New York Times, Fast Company, Marketplace, and The Austin American-Statesman, as well as on WNYC, the BBC, and ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation). Amy and I talked about managing conflict and she told me: "It is the nature of human relationships that we are going to have conflict, we're going to have disagreements. It's not always going to be perfect, and that's okay … we are just told that conflict has to be heated and mean, and we conflate it with war and with fracturing of relationships, and I would encourage your listeners, choose the three people in your life who you feel closest to, who you trust. My guess is you have conflict with them, right? This is part of being in relationship with other people, and so we have to learn how to embrace it as something that gives us some positive benefits rather than something that should be avoided at all costs."
