Podcast appearances and mentions of elaine bennett

Welcome to the What's Next! podcast with Tiffani Bova. Elaine Bennett had a baptism by fire as a speechwriter. Less than two years after she signed on to write for the CEO of Salomon Brothers, scandal forced the executive to resign. In stepped investor Warren Buffett for whom she had always wanted to work with since she admires him as the best writer in the business world. Since working with Mr. Buffett, she continued to advise the CEOs of Fortune 100 companies, professional services firms, and leading nonprofits on their communications strategies. Passionate about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Elaine has been writing on the subject since it was just called “diversity,” winning a Cicero Award for the best-written speech on Diversity. She devotes a portion of her time to working pro bono with a New York City–based nonprofit that's determined to transform itself into a role model of antiracism. She also designates a “Nonprofit of the Quarter" to receive a portion of Bennett Ink's net proceeds because giving back is important to her and she hopes to you, too.   THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…  individuals who want to stand up confidently on stage and mesmerize their audience with a story or folks who just want to spice up their everyday one-on-one conversations.   TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… Storytelling is a skill, meaning that it requires rehearsal, scripts, practice, and research to create something truly unique and meaningful. But there is also something valuable about being in the moment, with casual banter and candid conversation. A balance exists between the scripted and the spontaneous, where you understand yourself and the subject matter enough to craft a story that will surely captivate the crowd.   WHAT I LOVE MOST… Storytelling is about cultivating human connections, emphasizing shared humanity to make an audience identify with you personally before you ever even start talking about the bigger picture business idea.       Running time: 34:07 Subscribe on iTunes     Find Tiffani on social: Facebook Twitter LinkedIn   Find Elaine online: Official Website Twitter LinkedIn   Elaine's Personal Writings: Creative Nonfiction, Just Because

Special Guest: Elaine Bennett: Principal of BennettInk.com Engagement in a Hybrid World: If your employees aren't engaged with their work, they won't stay your employees for long. How do you create and sustain engagement when your workforce may be physically scattered? Communication is key—but it must be transparent, truthful, and tailor-made for your situation. Elaine Bennett's name may sound familiar but she is an award-winning speechwriter and definitely not the lady from Seinfeld, whose last name was Benes. This Elaine is a strategic messaging consultant, advising clients from Fortune 50 CEOs to entrepreneurs on their messaging. She also creates and delivers trainings on how to improve the writing of everything from internal communications to speeches. Her 2019 TEDx Talk tackles the topic of how language can change the world. She began her career on Wall Street 25+ years ago, as speechwriter for the CEO of Salomon Brothers. When scandal forced the executive to resign, Warren Buffett stepped in as Interim CEO—and Elaine's newest client. Mr. Buffett offered Elaine one of his highest compliments: “You have a terrific ear and you turn straight thinking into straight writing.” And that's what she's been doing ever since—melding the mind of a businessperson with the sensibility of an outsider to tell complex stories in a sophisticated but relatable way. Or as another client put it, “Elaine is the Obi-Wan of speechwriting.” Join us as we discuss how communication creates and sustains engagement. Listen Live (Archive Available) Host: Jo Moffatt

They're the only things that will separate you from someone else. If you want people to remember you and your ideas, you have to deliver them in a medium that people will take in and that medium is STORY."Join us for a fascinating episode and, you guessed it, a bunch of great (and instructive) stories!-----To learn more about Elaine Bennett visit https://bennettink.com or find her on LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook by searching "Bennett Ink".

Strategic messaging consultant Elaine Bennett never thought of writing as a career even though she had a teacher in high school who ushered her toward an extracurricular class on writing stating, “You're going to be a writer”. Elaine had no intention of becoming a writer. She went off to college, majored in theater with the goal of moving to New York and becoming a director. Arriving in New York, Elaine relied on a skill she had developed in fifth grade, typing. As much as she abhorred it, it eventually opened up some work opportunities that she never would have imagined. Elaine ended up at Salomon Brothers as a temp. ​​She also found work as a sound and light runner for some Off-Broadway shows. Elaine joined a theater group where she directed staged readings of new plays and while it was enjoyable, she wasn't making the professional progress that she wanted to. At that point, she was also doing some writing for herself, pitching articles, and discovered that she loved editing, and copy editing. One day while temping at Salomon Bros., Elaine was sent up to the CEO's office to write a speech for him on the spot. Gulp … From there, she was offered a permanent role as the CEO's speechwriter. When scandal forced the executive to resign, Warren Buffett stepped in as interim CEO. Elaine's new boss, Mr. Buffett offered her one of his highest compliments, “You have a terrific ear, and you turn straight thinking into straight writing.” And that's what she's been doing ever since, melding the mind of a business person with the sensibility of an outsider to tell complex stories in a sophisticated but relatable way. Elaine advises clients from Fortune 50 CEOs to entrepreneurs on their messaging.

Speaking your trust is one of those truisms that can be hard to apply in the workplace when many incentives can work against you.

Yet businesses together need people with the courage to speak up and Elaine Bennett shares what happens when you do. Passionate about Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Elaine has been writing on the subject since it was just called “diversity.” In fact, she won a Cicero Award for the best-written speech on Diversity. Her TEDx Talk, delivered in 2019, tackles the topic of how language impacts our ideas of diversity. A simple shift, she believes, can change the world.   Listen out for: - Why speaking your truth in the face of power can be difficult - How marginalised groups need to be heard to bring innovative solutions - The career growth (and/or shifts) that happen when to show up your full self at work - Your role to play to drive organisational change through your radical honesty and courage   Bonus: - Subscribe to 'Mindvalley Membership' to discover 30+ Mindvalley Quests – at a surprisingly low annual fee.
