  • Ep063: Dianne N.Squires - Give yourself credit for your achievements

    Dianne is a Barbadian marketing communications strategist, content creator, and owner of Dianne N Squires Consulting. Her focus is on helping organisations who want to build trust and meaningful connections with the people, audiences or customers they aim to serve over the long-term. Her process is rooted in identifying communications gaps, defining relevant communication strategies and tools to close those gaps, and applying those tools consistently. 

    She has most recently developed national communications strategies for biodiversity preservation and protection for St. Vincent and the Grenadines and the Commonwealth of Dominica, conducted qualitative research for clients based in Barbados, and written video scripts for clients in retail and medical services.
    Dianne is the former Head of Marketing of the now inoperative Barbados  based telecommunications startup Ozone Wireless Inc. and former Vice President, Strategy and Account Services of G&A Communications Inc., a marketing communications agency based in Barbados as well. She is also an award-winning choreographer and former dancer. She holds a Masters Degree in Arts Administration and Cultural Policy from Goldsmiths University of London, a Professional Diploma in Digital Marketing
    from the Digital Marketing Institute, Ireland and a Certificate in Marketing, Public Relations, and Advertising from the University of the West Indies, Open Campus, Barbados.
    Dianne considers herself a lifelong student of marketing, brand development, and communications but is acutely aware that the stories of Barbadian and Caribbean brands are mainly absent from the literature in most teaching curricula, published references, and case studies. To do something about this, she began writing a series of Linkedin articles starting in February 2019 entitled Favourite Barbadian brands, highlighting brands that are making an impact or emerging on the scene in Barbados. Soon after, she decided to interview the marketers or brand builders behind those brands and her podcast Backstage with Bajan Brands was born.

  • Ep062: How to gain the respect you deserve as a younger leader.

    I get it you worked really hard to attain your leadership position, but you're not being respected as a leader. The look of leadership, especially in the corporate world, is still based on the assumption of a certain age (e.g., 35+ years old), which in some cases can lead to differences in communication styles, priorities, and work ethic—especially between younger and older generations. 

    So how can you command the respect you deserve as not just a younger leader but a female one too? 

    Nobody should feel like they need to figure everything out on their own. You deserve a group of people you can trust, who understand what you’re going through, and who genuinely want to help you succeed.

    My guest is Kristin Frazer, the founder and design director of Trèfle, Inc in the British Virgin Islands. Born from a rich inheritance of fabric and fashion, Trèfle designs embodies the boldness of artistry that is present in the culture of the BVI. 

    After receiving her Bachelor’s of Fine Arts in Fashion Design and Marketing and interning for Carolina Herrera and BCBG Max Azria in the spring of 2006, Kristin returned home and as a next generation seamstress herself, she entered a new world of fashion, and in 2008, launched Trèfle; a swim and resortwear company focused on men, women and children. Now 11 years in, Trèfle has become the home of the Virgin Islands’ most characteristic fashion choices with product offerings in different labels: Trèfle(Men & Women), Trèfle284(Kids) and TrèfleHOME(Home goods & accessories).
     
    Her success includes press mentions in local, regional and international magazines like Essence, Marie Claire, Ebony and Harper's Bazaar, along with celebrity endorsements from Beyoncé, Blue Ivy, June Ambrose and more. Other highlights include collaborating with US company based Otterbox as the first Caribbean designer to create her own line of fashion symmetry series phone cases in 2017 and 2018. Celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2019, Essence festival officially launched their first ever Fashion House in New Orleans which hosted over 10 designers including Trèfle.
     
    Trèfle has grown with far more love and appreciation for its territory with the opportunity to design the opening ceremonial wear for the 2016 Olympics in Brazil and the 2017 Commonwealth games in Australia for the BVI Olympic team and committee. In early 2018, the charitable arm of Trèfle was launched as the 284 Foundation; a British Virgin Islands (BVI) based non-profit organization whose mission is to support creative arts education opportunities for young people in the BVI. Trèfle continues to rebuild the brand post Hurricane Irma with vibrant capsule collections each year as we invite you to "Our home...Your paradise".
