Impact & Influence Connect with Ron Kitchens BOOK: Uniquely You "You can change your plan, but you need to not let other people change it for you!" ~ Ron Kitchens #MyStrengthIsMyStory #CreateYourNow #RonKitchens Quotes and statements within the interview: "The vast majority of them are under thirty." "Be you! The world has enough copies." "People don't value knock-offs. They don't value fakes." "And in the Ozark Mountains, in the 1970s, tropical fruit, whether it was can or fresh, was something rare and to be saved." "This can of mandarin oranges became a symbol for me that somebody loved me; that somebody cared enough in the world." "What it really has become is a symbol of my responsibility to take the role of those three men and give back to people, who I don't necessarily know, who I don't even necessarily know why they're in their situation, but I'm not called to know why. I'm just called to love them and called to support them on a journey." "And I want you in your career to find something that will remind you in a tangible way of what's important to you." "It's easy for the noise to drag us away from our destiny." "Being dyslexic, I wasn't diagnosed until I couldn't graduate from college." "But what I was embarrassed to tell people about, I now know is my superpower!" "Everyone has a unique seed of success in them." "And that's what I want for everybody is just to be happy and don't spend your life trying to be a bad fake of somebody else. Embrace who you are!" "It took me eight years of working part-time and going to college." "Cause I grew up knowing, the people who had what I wanted all had one thing in common. Their family had jobs." "This ladder is to remind me no matter how flattering, you have to stay up on the ladder." "I believe that the millennial generation has the ability to be the greatest generation that's ever been on the face of the earth." "So the one thing, if you want to be a great leader today, is the the ability to unambiguously communicate to this incredible generation to mentor and lift them up." "So as leaders, we've got to first determine: Am I stuck in a cul-de-sac or am I just slowed down on the side resting a little bit?" "What do you want?" "I don't really know why, except I've discovered that I'm the green witch." "And I think for a lot of us out there, it doesn't matter if you came from poverty or prosperity, we all have that voice in our heads that says 'You're not enough!'" What has your story gifted you? Empathy "It's really easy for a lot of people to forget their own journey and lose their sense of empathy." "And if there's a sense I would never want to lose, it's that. Because it helps me understand." "My past has created this sense that 'I love everybody,' and I want them to have as many unbelievable opportunities that I've had."

Boston Knotlight Podcast Special Edition: Boston's Best & Brightest Companies to Work For Interviews 2019 by Nina Pfister
Social Jack™ Influence Factory Episode 63: Nicole Martin – “Keynote Speaker Driven by Purpose” Air Date: Wednesday, May 22, 2019 HAVE QUESTIONS? - Leave a comment below and we will get back to you within 48 hours. The Influence Factory is a LIVE webcast that airs every Wednesday at NOON Central (via Zoom and Facebook LIVE). In the #InfluencerNewsUpdate segment… During the Influencer News Update, the team discusses “How the LinkedIn Algorithm Works in 2019”, an article by Michael Quoc via Falcon.io. Here is what we discussed: - In October of 2018, LinkedIn updated its feed algorithm to help private users get their content seen while simultaneously reducing the reach of LinkedIn’s “Power Users”. - Even though interactions on LinkedIn have grown 50% YoY, the majority of those interactions were with the top 1% of influencers on the platform. - Almost 600 million business professionals share content, grow their networks, and find jobs using LinkedIn. - The main LinkedIn feed is based on an algorithm, not on recency. - Similar to Facebook & Instagram, your news feed is designed to show you content that they think is relevant and that you will engage with, rather than most recent content - LinkedIn users can sort the content in their feed by “Top” posts, or Recent posts. - Fortunately, this means that you do not have to, nor should you, post 20 times a day - Unfortunately, this means that just posting to post does not cut it. If you want to consistently make it into people’s feeds, you will need to be regularly putting out and producing good content that your followers reliably engage with. - It is important to note that your content is ranked and displayed based on your reputation (i.e. how users have engaged with your content before) - While your content is going through the second filter, LinkedIn’s algorithm bots look closely at how your audience engages with your content. - Pro Tip: We highly recommend optimizing your initial post time based on your analytics or other recommended times. View the full article at https://bit.ly/2JMkWKk This week’s #PowerMove segment was “Social with Intent & Purpose” In the #InfluencerInterview… This week’s Influencer Guest, Nicole Martin, leads a HR Shared Services Firm that serves Chicagoland.

Co-hosts Jan Rutherford and Jim Vaselopulos interview Colleen Abdoulah, former Chair and CEO of WOW! Colleen, who was the only female CEO at a top-ten cable operating company, is widely respected for her passionate focus on customer experience and company culture. In this episode, Colleen motivates young professionals to lead passionately with purpose, by first learning the history, then seeking and engaging existing organizations. Colleen maintains that everyone has gifts and passions, and when directed meaningfully, these strengths will help guide leaders to success. She encourages leaders to reflect each day by asking, “How did I show up? Was I an influence for positive or negative?” She discourages passive-aggressive behaviors, and promotes accountability and learning to confront differences with courtesy. Listen in to learn the value of individual accountability, the best use of the inherent gifts all people have, and why methods matter along the way to your goals. Key Takeaways [5:33] Colleen gained awareness as a teenager that women across the world have had to fight for rights. In her 20’s, she was pulled to work for social justice and compassion towards the marginalized, especially women and children, and she continues those efforts today. [8:01] Colleen’s advice to young professionals looking to help a cause is first to get some context, find out the history and background, and do their homework. She says some young women today don't even know what a suffragette was. [11:46] Colleen recalls being counseled that if we make a difference in one life, then what we’re doing matters. [15:16] Ask yourself, “where can I contribute and be fed in the process?” Finding an enriching purpose makes the difference between a passion and an obligation. [17:15] When looking for a mentor, find people in your communities who have similar values to you, get their attention, share who you are. Your mentor's role is to listen, probe, draw out, and help guide and instruct you, not to advise you what to do. [20:38] There's diversity of lifestyle and ethnicity, but also diversity of mind. Many organizations make the mistake of finding people who think alike, because it's easier. Getting diversity right comes down to one basic thing — do I value it? [25:54] Regardless of our background, we all work with the basis that we're human beings who want to know, “Do I belong? Do I have something to contribute? And “A”m I valued and respected?” [31:03] How you love, how you interact, how you navigate through your career and your exchanges with others, differentiates you as a person. Books Mentioned on the Show How to Win Friends and Influence People, book by Dale Carnegie Bio Colleen Abdoulah, who was the only female CEO at a top-ten cable operating company, is widely respected for her passionate focus on customer experience and company culture. Currently the Chair of the Board at WOW!, Colleen guided Internet, cable and phone as CEO for 12 years. In those years, WOW! quadrupled the customer base, with revenues of over $1.2B, and earned multiple awards from J.D. Power and Associates, Consumer Reports, and PC Magazine Reader's' Choice. WOW! was named in the National Best and Brightest Companies to Work For in 2012 and 2013. Before joining WOW!, Colleen worked at TCI as Assistant COO and EVP of Cable Operations. She serves on the boards of the American Cable Association and C-SPAN, and is a past Vice President of the Executive Board of Women in Cable and Telecommunications, and past Chairperson for the WICT Foundation. She is past Chair of the Board for the Rocky Mountain Children's Law Center, serves on the boards for The Women's College of the University of Denver, the Colorado Chapter of the International Women's Forum, and World Pulse. Colleen is a keynote speaker on customer experience and company culture, and gender-balanced management and leadership, delivering her messages and stories with humor. Colleen has a degree in Public Relations and Marketing from Mount Royal College in Calgary, and an MBA from the University of Denver. LinkedIn: Colleen Abdoulah Website: http://www.worldpulse.com

The 101 Best and Brightest program provides yearlong education, benchmarking, assessment tools and interaction amongst the best employers. We are pleased to be a part of it. To learn how you can nominate a firm for this great award please go to their website www.101bestandbrightest.com Also if you know of a business in Atlanta that we should know about please email Amy Otto at Amy @ atlantabusinessradio.com and we will try and get them on the show
