“How to Make Authenticity Your Brand” with Anja Skvortsova
HILARITY ALERT:
Tom has a stuffy nose, prepare for maximum nasality.
Tom announces menacing questions for our guest in the last third of the episode and then has nothing to show for it.
Technology is wicked at times, and you may be able to hear a feint hum on Anja's feed. Our sincerest apologies.
In this episode, we want to talk to you about your personal brand. We are joined by the scintillating Anja Skvortsova, Partnership Director at Audeliss, an executive search firm that levels the playing field for diverse leaders in executive and board appointments. Anja is also a world-class narrator, and learning from her is both an intellectual and auditory treat!
Authenticity. What is it? How do you define it for yourself and leverage it to get those jobs you've been dreaming about? And how do you maintain it in the push and pull of a job market that requires constant adaptation and leans towards uniformity? We have both struggled with this concept for years, but can now proudly present to you the very much millennial version of Nikki and Tom: our authentic selves. Have a listen, have a think, authenticity matters more than you might believe. Some nuggets of wisdom Anja is sharing in this episode:
- Companies hire more than just your skillset, they hire you for you.
- Work on your strengths, not just your weaknesses.
- Research, research, research. Your personal brand must be solid, but the way you talk about it has to matter to the context you use it in.
Let's go get it!
