There is SO So much I LOVE about this! A few Authentic leaders/colleagues I definitely can nominate…how about you? It’s a lesson we try and instill in our kids. A vision most parents likely have. Love the shift into the vision “to be” in business too! Have you ever sensed someone wasn't being authentic? The same rings true in leading our teams. The key to having a team that has your back is to keep it real, every step of the way. I firmly believe that my team stands by me because I lead with authenticity. What they see is what they get! I'm not afraid to show vulnerability, admit when I don't have all the answers, or own up to my mistakes. Leading with authenticity means being transparent about what's happening or not. When you lead authentically, your team knows they can trust you = Strong/Trusting relationships. I can not wait to read about some of the nominated winners b Authentic inc hopefully posts to hopefully inspire others! 💫 #BeAuthentic #BeYou

Wow! Well this will make a fascinating Employer Brand case study and a valuable reminder that your EB is what people say it is... McKinsey & Company being roasted by John Oliver with his take on their 'truthful recruitment video.' Is all publicity good publicity when it comes to employer branding? Let's find out. With Oliver's millions of viewers + social media shares, this is going to get huge traction whilst being the opposite of what the firm presumably want to portray to candidates. Curious to see what the EB and recruitment teams do with this. Witty comeback? Ride it out? Lean into it? My advice would be to tackle perceptions head on, tell the truth, own mistakes from the past and explain what you are doing about it... What's your prediction? Love to hear... https://lnkd.in/gRbsC-dY #mckinsey #employerbranding #johnoliver #recruitment #recruitmentmarketing #pr

What training do the next generation of international media strategists need? Great session with World Media Group and it's Future Leaders programme yesterday, identifying training needs across the industry.... Fascinating to hear first-hand the challenges they face (including a surprising lack of in-person networking opportunities). Looking forward to working together to fix some of these challenges! What do you think are the essential skills international agency and media owner folk need in their toolkit?

I had the pleasure of attending our #women-in-japac panel discussion this week and get career insights from some of our senior leaders @HubSpot with lots of actionable takeaways. 🌟A favourite nugget from the session: "You can't outsource your brand to your manager". It's tempting to think that good work alone will build our professional identity, or that our managers can solely champion our value. You need to actively manage your brand, be specific with your approach and consider how you show up each day 💯

I am beyond excited to have Zoe Mitchell join us as Chief Growth Officer. This announcement has been a long time in the making. In fact, our search for a Chief Growth Officer was a 12 month process. Myself & Motez Touqmatchi are 2 of the fussiest most particular founders you are ever likely to meet. It is fair to say this process shined a light on those personality traits. It was too important a hire to get wrong. As a business we are doubling in size YOY both in terms of income & headcount. Our network of offices has expanded from London to Miami & Dubai and each year our client roster grows to include some of the worlds most iconic brands. With all that growth, why hire a Chief Growth Officer? Well, this is a proactive rather than a reactive hire. It is about elevating what we already have and taking growth even more seriously. The creator economy continues to explode & each year specialist influencer agencies have a more pronounced seat at the table. However, whilst the services we are offering are relatively new & novel, the way in which budget decisions are being made are not. With that in mind, we wanted a CGO that understood how to appease & converse with the biggest ad-spenders in the world. Somebody that can provide a holistic POV on how budgets are being carved up and use that knowledge to make a passionate case for influencer marketing. In Zoe, we have found that person - with over a decade of experience in institutions of all shapes and sizes, from Vayner Media to Wieden & Kennedy and Wunderman Thompson. But this isn’t just about growth - 99% of the time my decisions are driven by my instincts on the human-being. After spending 10 minutes with Zoe, I knew she was the perfect cultural fit. Ambition balanced with humour & realism - we want to keep building something amazing but we also recognise we are helping to sell lipstick, not solving world peace. This cultural mindset keeps us grounded; we celebrate the wins, but we don’t deep the losses. The growth wheels are fully in motion for next year & I cannot wait to see where we take things. Welcome to the team Zoe Mitchell!! #influencermarketing #creatoreconomy #growthmarketing

Integrating "general" purpose technologies with the situated practices, established systems of values, and shared understandings that define organizations. This is one of the key challenges of #AI #implementation. Several tensions emerge in this process, making the impact assessment of such technologies much more complex than commonly believed. With Nathan Perrott, Daniel Pfeiffer, and Steven Ehrlich, we explored some of these issues. I'm grateful to Radancy Europe for inviting me to join this panel at the Talent Acquisition Leaders Day. The interaction between research and practice is fundamental to generating new ideas to navigate these challenges 🚀

Ever found yourself in a situation where things didn't go as planned, especially when you're in the spotlight? When you're front and center, whether it's a speaking event, a meeting, or an interview, your ultimate success is more about how you adapt to adversity and less about being perfect. It's how you navigate those challenges that defines your impact. Here's how to turn unexpected moments into opportunities for impact. 🔑 Embrace the Unexpected: Life's curveballs can be gifts in disguise. They offer a chance to create something even more memorable. 🔑 Leverage the Power of Community: Your audience isn't just there to watch; they can be part of the solution. Tap into that collective strength. 🔑 Stay Committed to Your Vision: When you're clear about your goals, minor setbacks become mere bumps on the road, not roadblocks. 🔑 Adapt and Overcome: Resilience and ingenuity are your secret weapons. Use them to navigate any situation. You’re more resilient than you think and your voice needs to be heard! If you’d like to join the Fearless Female Leader community and receive more tools and strategies to help you to be even more confident and influential, join us at www.sherylkline.com We are on a mission to empower 10,000 female leaders and emerging leaders in 2024, and we truly hope you’ll partner with us for this mission. #FFL10k
