Storied Coaching with Aaron J. Jacobs

It hasn't been the best news if you are a technology worker over the last few weeks.

10k jobs cut from Microsoft.

12k jobs cut from Google.

So many people are recently looking for work or wondering, am I next?

This week we will help you bolster the position at your company or help you become more attractive if you are looking for work.

My guest this week, Don Carmichael, is a shining example of this.

He bolsters his brand by taking consistent action and starting conversations.

During our conversation, we will help you understand why you need to be doing this right now, and how to get started, even if you have never thought about it.

Creating customer evangelists is the gold ring that marketers, sellers, and business owners strive to obtain.

Customer evangelists are customers that love you, your product, or your service so much that they constantly talk you up to other potential customers.

People like to make this complicated like it's a dark mystical art known to a select few, but it's not.

Listen in this week as I go over a simple structure I'm using as we do some new things in my business that I have taken from the fantastic book "The Power of Moments" by Dan and Chip Heath.

It's easy and super fun.

P.S. Two 20-second sections in this recording had a weird echo effect with the microphone. I didn't feel like re-recording, so I didn't. Shipping over perfection!

I feel so fortunate to have stumbled onto some of the mentors in my life.

We laugh a lot.

Listen in as Julie lets us in on leadership lessons she has learned working with some of the largest brands while remaining true to her voice and growing her own business.
