  • S4E5 : Keeping The Human Touch : Rick Elmore, Founder and CEO, Simply Noted

    Welcome to the final week of the #LeadWithYourBrandChallenge! Each week in January, Jayzen is breaking down the Lead With Your Brand system into its five steps. Every Tuesday, listen to the podcast & learn about the next step to build your personal brand and help you toward your next Career Breakthrough!  There are even free downloadable worksheets with each step to help you in the process.

    Step Five : Promote Yourself

    You have heard the old saying, “if a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it really make a sound?” The same thing is true about your brand. You can do all of the work to put it down on paper and be thoughtful about your actions and your choices. But, if no one is hearing about it, nobody knows about you.

    There are three ways to really think about this. One is your advertisement. This is what you say about yourself. You control this message. What is your elevator pitch? How do you show up on brand and what do you say in a meeting or on a conference call.

    Second, is all about your influencers – your SuperFans.  Who are the people that are your brand ambassadors? These SuperFans love you and talk about you when you’re not in the room. What have you done lately to make sure that you are top of their mind?

    The final element is word-of-mouth. There is no easy solution to this. You must show up on-brand with your actions and behaviors every single day. This is what people say about you when you’re not in the room. This should be an amazing tailwind that helps your brand moving further and faster in the right direction. Without self-management, it could wind up being a headwind that is causing drag on your brand.

    Jayzen is thrilled to welcome Rick Elmore to the show.  A former player in the NFL, Rick has gone on to be the founder and CEO of Simply Noted - one of the coolest new companies in business!  In this digital age, Rick and his team are recapturing the incredible impact of handwritten notes, only now on a massive scale using the latest robotic technology.

  • S4E4 : Commitment to Community : Daphne Kwok, Vice President, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, Asian American & Pacific Islander Audience Strategy, AARP

    Welcome to Week 4 of the #LeadWithYourBrandChallenge! Each week in January, Jayzen is breaking down the Lead With Your Brand system into its five steps. Every Tuesday, listen to the podcast & learn about the next step to build your personal brand and help you toward your next Career Breakthrough!  There are even free downloadable worksheets with each step to help you in the process.

    Step Four: Keep Up Your Image

    Now that you have created your five to eight SuperSized brand attributes, you have to live them every single day. The bottom line is a Brand isn’t about words that you put on paper. It’s about the actions and the choices you make every single day. Take those brand attributes and peel the layers back. Imagine that you are on a reality show. We have had a film crew follow you all last week. We are playing the tape back and watching. What are the things that we would see do? What would we hear you say and how would you say it? What are the things you do that we would label as your brand attributes? Ultimately, leading with your brand is about observable actions and behaviors that you must demonstrate every day. Document a list of these behaviors and start emulating them in a consciously, competent way.

    Great brands think about their brand filter. Create your formula that determines the way that you dress, the way that you maintain your office space, and most importantly, the way you create your signature projects. No matter how boring a project or task you’ve been given, you can do it in a way that brings your brand attributes to life and really promotes you.

    Jayzen is excited to welcome Daphne Kwok to the show.  Her work as the Vice President of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion for Asian American & Pacific Islander Audience Strategy at AARP empowers Asian Americans & Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) to choose how they live as they age.  Previously, Ms. Kwok was appointed by President Barack Obama in 2010 to chair his Advisory Commission on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.

  • S4E3 : Meeting The Unmet Need : Robin Singhvi, Founder, SmartCue

    On to Week 3 of the #LeadWithYourBrandChallenge! Each week in January, Jayzen is breaking down the Lead With Your Brand system into its five steps. Every Tuesday, listen to the podcast & learn about the next step to build your personal brand and help you toward your next Career Breakthrough!  There are even free downloadable worksheets with each step to help you in the process.

     Step Three: Refine Who You Want To Be

    Now it’s time to turn up the volume to be the best you you can be. Take those 5 to 8 brand attributes that you came up with in the last step. Go through the McDonald’s drive-through and SUPERSIZE your words and define those attributes as your SUPERPOWERS. Take those words and switch them from being commodity descriptors that everyone uses and make them uniquely you. 

     Don’t just say, “I’m a good presenter.” Say, “I’m a showman!” It’s not, “hey I’m well networked and have great relationships with people.” it’s, “I’m a super connector!”  Why just be analytical when you can be a Data Guru? If you are organized, are you really a Precision Executor? If you are innovative, are you really a First-Mover who is the first to jump onto new ideas and trends?  These super-charged ownable words now become your word bank for Linkedin, annual reviews, job applications, how you talk about yourself and how you present your ideas.

     Jayzen is excited to welcome Robin Singhvi to the show. Robin spent over a decade in the US B2B SaaS space as a sales and solutioning leader, playing the quarterback between sales and product teams to develop and execute the best solutions for customers and key stakeholders and went on to create SmartCue.

  • S4E2 : Creating Your Fresh Start : Galina Cherny, Leadership Coach & Author

    Welcome to week 2 of the #LeadWithYourBrandChallenge! Each week in January, Jayzen is breaking down the Lead With Your Brand system into its five steps. Every Tuesday, listen to the podcast & learn about the next step to build your personal brand and help you toward your next Career Breakthrough! There are even free downloadable worksheets with each step to help you in the process.

     What if you were to use a brand marketer’s toolkit to build your own personal brand? What if you thought about yourself as a product? In a world where thousands of people do your exact same job, you must find a way to be more than just a commodity worker. In your career, you must be a Super-Premium Brand that gets people to do more, contribute more, and pay you more – just like they do for great brands that they love. Ask yourself, in your career, are you coffee or are you Starbucks?

     Step Two: Know What You Stand For Today

    Here is the dirty little secret. We can all smell inauthenticity from a mile away and it reeks! If you’re thinking, “I want to be Steve Jobs” or “I want to be Sheryl Sandberg” or “I want to have Oprah Winfrey‘s brand,” the truth is, you are not Oprah, and you’re never going to be her! Who you are is you. What you can be is THE BEST you! Start by thinking authentically what your brand authentically is today. What are those words and adjectives that people have used to describe you, sometimes even since you were a little kid? What do people love about you? Find 5 to 8 words that resonate with you. Maybe you are analytical, organized, and innovative. These become your brand attributes that you lead with all the time and are truly authentically you.

     Jayzen is thrilled to welcome Galina Cherny to the show. Speaking very little English, Galina and her family emigrated to the US when she was early in her career. She landed a job as a clerk, and went on to become an early computer programmer. Ultimately, leading technology teams as an executive. She is now a leadership coach founding her own boutique firm, The Cherny Group. She also recently published her memoir, The Last Train to Freedom.

    Galina is a gracious hostess who loves bringing people together in her home in Encino, California where she lives with her husband John. Galina and John enjoy travel, dancing, and the outdoors. But most of all, they love spending time with their two sons and their families. They have four grandchildren, who are the light of their lives.  

    Galina is a passionate storyteller whose childhood dream of becoming a writer materialized with her memoir, The Last Train to Freedom.

    As we continue through the holiday season, it’s important to recognize what a stressful time of year it can be. Stress can bring out aspects of your brand in a way that becomes a tailwind, or something that slows you down and drags you back, rather than the positive headwind that you intended.  So when stress hits, hit the pause button, take a breath and make sure that you are leading with your brand attributes at the right volume and intensity.

  • Fan Favorite : Navigating the Career Lattice : Gail McGovern, CEO, American Red Cross

    In this season of giving and helping others, Jayzen welcomes Gail McGovern to the show.  Gail is the president and CEO of the American Red Cross.  She brings insightful reflections and wisdom from her amazing career leading billion dollar organizations and transforming the Red Cross into a 21st Century emergency response and blood services organization.

     In the midst of “the great resignation,” now is the time for a career mindset shift. Think about your career not as a ladder to climb in a linear fashion, but as a lattice to explore. Oftentimes, the best career move you can make is lateral or even a small step back that can ultimately propel you forward. It is about having the curiosity to break out of the box and take on a new challenge, while keeping an eye on the big picture and where you want to go.  

     Gail has had an incredible career by constantly challenging herself to learn new skills and thus, bring more to the table. Starting her career as a computer programmer, her curiosity about all aspects of business and running an organization have been the driving force in her many career breakthroughs.

     Guest Bio

    Gail McGovern, president and CEO of the American Red Cross, began her career as a  computer programmer at AT&T. She moved up the ranks to become executive vice  president for the Consumer Markets Division, a $26 billion business with 40,000  employees. In 1998, Gail joined Fidelity Investments where she served as president of  Fidelity Personal Investments, a unit with 10,000 employees and a half trillion dollars of  assets under management. 

    Four years later, Gail joined the faculty of Harvard Business School where she taught  marketing. In 2008, she accepted the position of president and CEO of the American  Red Cross, a $3 billion organization devoted to alleviating human suffering in the face of  emergencies. 

    Since joining the Red Cross, Gail has helped to transform the 139-year old American  institution into a 21st Century emergency response and blood services organization. Her  transformational initiatives have led to improved fiscal stability, and have expanded the  reach of lifesaving Red Cross services. She has also overseen the enormous growth of  the organization’s social media presence – including the introduction of a series of free  mobile apps for first aid, hurricanes, tornadoes and other emergency scenarios that put lifesaving skills at people’s fingertips. 

    Gail is a graduate of Johns Hopkins University, where she received an undergraduate  degree in Quantitative Sciences, and Columbia University where she earned her  MBA. She was awarded alumna of the year from both Universities. Gail was recognized  by Fortune Magazine in both 2000 and 2001 as one of the most powerful women in Corporate America.
