Reset, The Podcast

It’s hard to imagine a woman starting her life under a communist regime becoming the leader of a major technology company. But, that’s precisely the journey that Suki’s guest made this week.  Milka Kramer, Country Manager Pinterest, UK & Ireland talks to Suki Thompson, Founder & CEO Let’s Reset about her upbringing in the then communist Bulgaria and how many of those experiences shaped her outlook on life and how Bulgaria’s eventual journey to democracy fine- tuned Milka’s natural drive, courage and desire to take risks. In their conversation, it is clear how important Milka’s own values and purpose are and how relationships play a major part in her life. From creating structured time for unstructured conversations at work and home, to helping  build deeper connections to the important relationship that Pinterest has with its customers. Which is where they discuss why Pinterest has banned all weight loss ads and why pinners can now search for curly hair. This really is an episode for anyone who shares Suki and Milka’s belief in the power of people to drive business performance.

In this week’s Reset the Podcast, Suki Thompson, Founder/CEO, Let’s Reset talks to a man who lives and breathes creativity. So much so that Innovation plays a starring role in his job title. Toby Whitmoyer’s is Bacardi’s Global Marketing and Innovation Officer. They talk about how Chile and his Father played a defining role in his early life and why Toby has a lifelong love of learning. During their time together, they chat about what really energises him and why he feels it’s so important to bring your whole best self, as he puts it, to work. Learning new things has been the lifeblood of Toby’s own wellbeing journey but so has his new found love of physical exercise. A consequence, as for many of us, of a global pandemic.

New Business is the lifeblood of any organisation. In this week’s Reset The Podcast Suki Thompson,  Founder,  let’s Reset talks to a man whose life has been dedicated to the art of selling. So much so that David Kean has written three books about it. In his latest book, Catalyst he describes how to network for people who don’t like it and what lies behind every great sales strategy. It’s a perfect reminder of one of the seven needs of wellbeing and performance. Your relationships and how to nurture them best. David explains why he believes the word database should be banned and replaced with people base. And he also tells us why the key to building great relationships is not about telling stories but listening to them.

Suki talks to a woman who has been at the heart of the creative industry for over 25 years. As Editor in Chief of Campaign, Claire Beale is probably better served than most to talk about the many changes that the industry has seen. They discuss this during their chat. But, behind this experience, lies a woman who is gutsy, brave and determined. They explore all three of these traits in their time together and Claire’s tireless journey towards changing the rules on Civil Partnerships, which gave her a purpose way beyond work. Finally, they dissect, perhaps her greatest professional challenge,  following a Nigel Farage interview and how, through the strength of her relationships, she was able to come through this, learn some valuable life lessons and the determination to start a business of her own, Creative Salon.

Suki talks to the Internationally recognised mental health expert, David Beeney. David spent years in the world of media hiding a dark secret. His Mental Health was rock bottom but, fearful of being judged and singled out, he hid it from almost everyone. Until his Reset moment which forced him to confront his demons.

During this chat, with Suki Thompson,  Founder, Let’s Reset, David uses his incredible story telling skills to bring to life what most of us instinctively know. When we share how we feel, we end up in a much better place and that was certainly true for David.

Suki talks to Jeremy Connell-Waite IBM’s Global Communications Designer, a role which allows him to point his incredible energy and creativity at helping people communicate better. During this chat,  they go from discussing why wild ducks matter to IBM, Ballet and what a chess grandmaster taught him about technology. A typically eclectic mix for a man who loves variety. In the most poignant and personal part of this podcast, Jeremy talks about one of his most significant Reset moments. The trauma associated with the birth of his twins and why this process alone persuaded him that IBM was the place for him. It’s a story that will make you smile and cry in equal measure and a great reminder that stories and their impact on others really are what makes the world go round.
