103: Build Your Personal Brand by Becoming Visible and Referable
You’ve probably heard a lot of people telling you that you need a personal brand but very few are showing you “how” you can build or strengthen one. It’s all well and good to say you need a thing but how do you do it? 🫤 That’s the question I’m answering for you in this episode. It’s simple. You want to become two things. Visible and referable. As we dive into the how of this, I want you to think through these questions: What do I uniquely create that adds extreme value to the people I serve? Am I creating this thing or experience consistently? Is what I create visible beyond my organization? Do I have a raving fan who knows what I create and is kicking down doors in rooms I'm not in? Does that raving fan know how to tell the story of what I create? In the end, you’ll learn the steps you can take today to help you become visible and referable so your personal brand can go to work for you.

100: Embrace the Turtle: Why Slowing Down Wins the Race
Does it feel like everyone around you is moving fast and breaking things? We live in a hustle culture where many have the “if it’s bigger, faster, and flashier, then it’s always better” mentality. Only in recent years have I begun to see a broader cultural shift toward slower and more intentional living. I can personally attest that it’s the “winning” way. During these first 100 episodes of the podcast, I’ve learned to embrace the way of the turtle. I’ve learned to resist the urge to compare and instead delight fully in my own journey. A journey that was slow. A journey that was about taking “turtle steps” and even a bit of a pause along the way. And in this journey, I’ve learned 3 important things that I know you’ll appreciate, especially if the loud roar of others zooming by is deafening. If you want to try the slow and steady way and see how it can make your personal and professional life more of what you really want, then listen in for the ways I’ve learned that: Creating because it matters is enough. Even if what you create is small. The power of the pause to rejuvenate your creative spark Why consistency beats perfection every time Getting to 100 episodes has been a goal of mine from the beginning. And I’m grateful to you for coming along with me. What’s been your slow and steady win?

What’s your most important thing for this year? How do you decide on your priority? Do you take a shot in the dark or ask someone you think is wiser? Answering this question is not only important for January but to shape and color the entire mood and vibe of your year.

In the episode, I talk about how I use a Priority Investment Circle to get my year right. You may be surprised to know that despite having this podcast I don’t put creating as #1 or the center of my life. Why you ask? Because your life should take up that space.

If you are my guest Annette Simmons is going to help you do just that. Annette is the CEO of Group Process Consulting and a best-selling author of books that define and promote “power-with” strategies and principles even though (and in some cases, specifically because) they undermine autocratic “power-over” strategies. One of her bestsellers The Story Factor: Inspiration, Influence, and Persuasion through the Art of Storytelling was named twice as one of The 100 Best Business Books of All Time. This is the book that introduced me to Annette’s work but it’s just scratching the surface. We dive into the why and how to deal with the territorial games on your job that might be driving you mad. In this episode, we talk about: How accepting your difference, leaning into your curiosity, and “following your weird” can lead you to the unique things you create Why it’s important that you not dismiss the drama on your job as simply noise How to spot the predictable tactics commonly used to protect silos on your job and how to deal with them How looking for and listening to stories of others can be your empathy superpower on your job The six stories you need to know how to share And so much more!

Annette’s most popular book, The Story Factor: Inspiration, Influence, and Persuasion through the Art of Storytelling was named twice as one of The 100 Best Business Books of All Time. All five of Simmons’ business books define and promote “power-with” strategies and principles even though (and in some cases, specifically because) they undermine autocratic “power-over” strategies. Annette uses storytelling to teach work groups how to dialogue about diverse perspectives and connect the dots between seemingly adversarial perceptions into a new shared bigger picture. Her first book Territorial Games: Understanding and Ending Turf Wars at Work was the result of her recording true stories about “turf wars” that revealed ten predictable tactics commonly used to protect silos. Her most recent book Drinking from a Different Well: How Women’s Stories Change What Power Means in Action challenges traditional assumptions about what power is, what it is for, and who should have it. This book is a love letter to women who instinctively seek to balance “winning” with moral acts of generosity that protect the weak and preserve our planet.

Absolutely amazing right? But this sort of thing doesn’t just happen. You have to make it happen. And getting paid to be you is all about becoming the type of person who gets paid to be you. That’s because you can only go as far as who you are and before your transition you must transform. That takes a narrative identity shift. And those only come by changing the stories you tell about yourself and what you create. It takes getting (re) storied.

091: The Surprising Ways You're Already Doing Your Work | Katie MacDonald
Your work is not your job or career. Your work is what you create. You get this. But what if you're still searching for the thing that’s yours which you create? Or if you’ve stumbled upon it, what if that thing isn’t like everyone else’s? While everyone else is creating tangible things that people can taste and touch, yours can’t be. What then? I want you to know you’re not alone in this. Creating isn’t always tangible. Some people do create tangible things. But many more create intangible experiences. And that’s great news. It means the world of creating is much bigger and wider than you might have thought. My guest on today’s episode can tell you all about this because Katie MacDonald has done something truly remarkable. She’s taken what she’s heard here on Reframe to Create and done the deep work of integrating it into her understanding of herself and her work. She’s let it give her a reframe and the result has been a powerful discovery of what she uniquely brings to the table. And her unique contribution might be like yours--something intangible. Learning this has changed not just how she shows up on her job but how she shows up in all of her life. We also talk about how your unique work doesn’t require that you go on a long journey to find it because you’re already doing it in some way today. Listen in because you might discover that you’ve already been doing the thing you’ve been searching to find. About my guest: Katie MacDonald is a public health professional, passionate about improving lives through increased access to quality health products and services. She has worked in health markets around the world to introduce new health commodities, promote policy change and build public private partnerships. Katie discovered her love for public health as a Peace Corps volunteer in Mali and since then has lived and worked in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Bangladesh. Katie enjoys making connections with people around the world and in her own neighborhood of Columbia Heights in Washington, DC through scuba diving, cooking, reading and running.

Could this exposure be the birthplace of not just new possibilities but of new dreams? This ability to expose yourself to new things is just one of the skills that Lamarr opened up my mind to in our conversation about the skills we need to make our dreams come true. Overall this conversation made me realize that this is a missing piece from what I’ve been sharing with you here at Reframe to Create.

075: The High Price You're Paying for Inaction
Do you hope that if you leave things alone they’ll sort themselves out? Maybe you believe the old adage that “time heals all wounds”. While this may be true for some things it’s definitely not true when it comes to your gifts! In this matter, time will not lead to something better automatically. In fact, the opposite will happen in time to your creating muscles. They’ll atrophy. They’ll congeal. They’ll get flabby and weak. In this episode, I share a very squeamish personal story about how I learned that you must happen to your life and your gifts or things will fester and go very bad. I hope it inspires you to get up off the couch of your life and into your creating workshop! Hold on to your hat!
