Send us a textIn this special re-release, we revisit my conversation with New York Times bestselling author Daniel Pink from a couple of years ago. After recently listening to this episode during one of my runs, I was reminded by how relevant his insights remain for both my personal and professional life—wisdom worth sharing again with my listeners.Daniel Pink, former speechwriter for Vice President Al Gore, has authored numerous influential works including "To Sell Is Human," "Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us," "A Whole New Mind," "Free Agent Nation," and his most recent book "The Power of Regret: How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward."Key InsightsDuring our conversation, Daniel shares invaluable life lessons that have resonated with audiences worldwide. As he powerfully states:"You cannot plan out careers in meticulous detail. You have to do things for the right reason, do things for their intrinsic value and be opportunistic and open to next steps. We need to focus on persistence over talent and the importance of leaving an imprint."We dive deep into the principles from "The Power of Regret," exploring how this universal human emotion can be transformed into a powerful tool for growth. Daniel offers practical strategies for harnessing regret as a catalyst for positive change rather than a source of paralysis.Education InsightsAn important segment of our discussion centers on Daniel's experience with the International Baccalaureate (IB) education system through his three children. As someone with over 25 years in the IB system myself, his observations about its transformative impact greatlly resonated with me.Why ListenWhether you're hearing this conversation for the first time or revisiting it, Daniel Pink's timeless wisdom offers valuable perspective on motivation, regret, career development, and education. I encourage you to explore "The Power of Regret" and his other works to further benefit from his insights.It was truly an honor to speak with Daniel, and I'm delighted to share this important conversation with you once again.Connect With Daniel Pink: WebsiteDaniel Pink's BooksTwitter 'X'LinkedIn

Getting the chance to hear the inside scoop on how a bestselling author works and what they think of their work is an amazing experience. In this case, Daniel Pink, author of five New York Times bestsellers delivers a podcast to remember. New and loyal fans alike will enjoy hearing what Pink thinks of his past work, how he goes about choosing a book topic, and why he believes his Writing Rule #6 is critical to the work he does.Before choosing the life of an author, Pink spent a few years working as Vice President Al Gore's chief speech writer (1995-1997). Another interesting fact, he graduated from Northwestern University with a degree in linguistics and Yale University with a law degree.But the truly fascinating and transformative work came after this when Pink decided to become a self-employed writer in 1997. Since then, he has published seven books that have been translated into 42 languages while selling millions of copies worldwide. And there was one particular article that many people attribute to the launch of his amazing career – “Free Agent Nation” published by Fast Company on December 31st, 1997.The article led to his first book titled the same and predicted much of what would eventually become known as the gig economy. “I think that in general I was more right than wrong which is probably a good place to be if you're a writer. I think that one of the things that I underestimated was that as I explained this phenomenon, one of forces that I thought was powering it was technology and I wrote that before smartphones, before social media, before text messages, before the metaverse, before widespread broadband…,” Pink said. In fact, it was before the world of podcasts and influencers as well.Pink goes on to note that he didn't truly appreciate the impact technology would have, “I was right on the direction, wrong on the velocity” This is even more so today with so many people working full-time W-2 jobs remotely since the Covid pandemic hit in early 2020.From here, Host Adam Morrisey navigates the conversation to how Pink selects his book topics.Pink believes it is critical for writers to pick topics “that you are willing to live with, and I don't say this as a joke, that you're willing to live with essentially for the rest of your life. And so, there are ideas that you are kinda, sorta interested in – maybe you want to go out on a few dates with, but there aren't that many ideas/concepts that you really want to get married to for a long time.”Tune in to understand why Pink thinks this as well as his thoughts on the deep obligation writers have to their audience members.Not a big fan of social media, anyone interested in learning more about Daniel Pink and his work can visit his website and/or sign up for his bi-weekly newsletter.

In today's conversation, I am joined by Daniel Pink; author of five New York Times bestsellers, including his latest, The Power of Regret: How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward (which is the focus of our conversation today). His other books include When, A Whole New Mind, Drive, and To Sell is Human. Dan's books have won multiple awards, have been translated into 42 languages, and have sold millions of copies around the world. I reached out to Dan while I was writing my new book, What Your Employees Need and Can't Tell You (which is now on presale and coming out on October 11, 2022) because I reference his book Drive a few times and wanted him to have a chance to weigh in and make sure I attributed everything correctly (something I do for every mention in my books). I was so deep in writing mode that I didn't realize he had a new book coming out at that time, so I asked him to come join me on the podcast to talk about his newest book, The Power of Regret. You will hear all about it in our conversation of course, but let me tell you, this book did not disappoint. It is full of great examples and extensive research -- it will change the way you think about regret and what it means to be human. You don't want to miss this conversation where we talk all about it. Show Notes: [00:40] In today's conversation, I am joined by Dan Pink. He is the author of five New York Times bestsellers. [01:51] In this episode we talk about his newest book, The Power of Regret. [03:41] Dan shares about himself and his background. [05:49] He realized in his early thirties what he was doing on the side (writing) should be what he was doing full-time.  [07:12] He shares about the manga comic book he wrote called The Adventures of Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You'll Ever Need. It is a 180-page graphic novel written in the Japanese comic form of manga.   [09:41] The book received a number of awards, including one from the American Library Association.  [12:06] In the first week the book came out he got an offer for the movie rights, which he declined, and he never got another one. (Per the theme of today's episode…Does he regret it?)   [14:43] Dan's tips for writing books: When it comes to writing and content creation there is a lot to be said for getting the reps. Start small and work up to writing a book. Listen to the feedback you get. [15:59] When writing a book you have to have a very high bar for whether something is worth writing a book about. Many ideas don't have shoulders broad enough to carry a full book and they would be better as an article or essay.  [17:20] Writing a book is hard so if you don't pick a topic that you are deeply interested in it is going to be a profoundly miserable experience.  [19:50] Does your book deserve 9 hours and 300 pages of someone else's time? And, do you want to live with this for the rest of your life? [21:13] His early book Free Agent Nation was about the rise of people who were working for themselves.  [22:41] At any point in our lives we want to have some exploration but at a certain point, we have to execute.  [25:15] Dan loves sharing what he is working on along the way and getting feedback from others.   [27:14] Not only is regret normal and exceedingly common. Everybody has regrets.  [28:15] We want to use our regrets as information for understanding what our value is and learning to do better.  [29:21] He did two pieces of original research, one was The American Regret Project. It was a very large public opinion survey of the US population.  [30:59] He also did a piece of qualitative research called The World Regret Survey where he invited people around the world to submit their regrets (over 20,000 of them!).  [31:55] He found that people around the world had the same four core underlying regrets over and over again.  [33:42] One of the core regrets is foundation regrets. These are regrets people have about small bad decisions early in life that accumulate and have negative consequences later in life.  [34:23] Boldness regrets are if only I had taken the chance regrets. Moral regrets are if only I had done the right thing. Connection regrets are regrets about relationships.  [36:37] We need to process our regrets and use them as a force going forward. A starting point is looking at our regrets and deciding if they are regrets of action or regrets of inaction.  [38:15] Regret is one of the most common emotions that we have. Everybody has regrets.  [38:30] We have a massive amount of evidence that when we confront and think about our regrets we can use them to make better decisions, solve problems faster and better, avoid cognitive biases, become better negotiators and strategists, and find more meaning in life.  [39:59] Feelings are for thinking. They are signals, data, and information. When you have negative feelings even when it is unpleasant we need to figure out what it is teaching us to use them as a force of progress.  [41:35] You want to have way more positive emotions than negative emotions but a life well lived is not a life of only positive emotions. Negative emotions serve a role and are part of life. [43:43] Discomfort is a sign of growth so you want a little discomfort because that is how we learn and grow.  [46:00] Melina shares her closing thoughts.

Debbie talks with five-time New York Times bestselling author Dan Pink about his latest book: The Power of Regret: How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward. His books have been translated into 42 languages and have sold millions of copies around the world. She met Dan many years ago when she lived in DC and has been a fan ever since she read his first book, Free Agent Nation. That book was one of the first to legitimize solopreneurs and to predict the revolution in the workplace.The premise of his new book is that while many people (especially Americans) proclaim "I have no regrets!" that statement is wrongheaded and, as Dan delights in pointing out, simply not true. We all have regrets and regret is a valuable emotion that can lead us to better understand ourselves and even to live our lives differently.The book is partially based on the results of Dan's World Regret Survey. He read through 15,000 replies from 100+ countries and deduced that there are really only four core regrets.Foundational (If only I'd done the work... )Boldness (If only I'd taken the chance... )Moral (If only I'd done the right thing... )Connection (If only I'd reached out... )Debbie went into this episode thinking that "regret" has a special resonance for those past midlife who may be reflecting on what lies behind them - or what DOESN'T lie behind them - because they didn't do it.But Dan is pretty clear that regretting an inaction - what he defines as a Boldness regret - can come at any age. And that it's never too late to do something about it.Debbie reveals one of her biggest regrets to Dan and he offers some on-air therapy for how she should deal with it.They also talk about Dan's "failure resumé" and what he learned from it.This is an entertaining and informative episode. But it doesn't cover everything in Dan's new book. Be sure to pick up your own copy to learn more about self-disclosing, self-compassion, and self-distancing when it comes to your own regrets; when to "undo" something you did in the past; and the importance of maintaining connections with friends.Mentioned in this episode or useful:DanPink.comThe Power of Regret: How Looking Backward Moves Us Forward by Dan Pink (Random House 2022)Dare to Lead (Brené Brown's podcast): Brené With Dan Pink on the Power of RegretA 2-minute preview of his new book (a Pinkcast)World Regret SurveyAll Dan's books: When, To Sell Is Human, Drive, A Whole New Mind, Johnny Bunko, Free Agent Nation@DanielPink on TwitterTHE PINKCASTSubscribe to Dan's newsletterDerek SiversBittersweet: How Sorrow and Longing Make Us Whole by Susan Cain (Crown 2022)The Happiness Curve: Why Life Gets Better After 50 by Jonathan Rauch (Thomas Dunne Books 2018)Alfred NobelThe Moral Bucket List by David Brooks (The New York Times, April 11, 2015) Note from DebbieIf you've been enjoying the podcast, please consider leaving a short review on Apple Podcasts.

The Information Age considers the economy and technology to be the driving forces of development. And so, society considers the rational left brain more important and emphasizes its analytical reasoning and logical thinking abilities. But as society enters a new age, it has begun to require more creative and meaningful thinking skills. Relying on the left brain alone is no longer enough to meet the needs of development. Therefore, we need to learn to develop and improve our six essential right brain abilities – design, story, symphony, empathy, play, and meaning. By doing this, we can cultivate a whole new mind. A Whole New Mind is a window for us to catch sight of the Conceptual Age and a new mind. Author Daniel H. Pink is a futurist who has been praised by Fortune as “the wisest thinker”. He has frequently given speeches about topics related to economic transformation at various major companies, universities, and associations around the world. His works Drive, A Whole New Mind, and Free Agent Nation have revolutionized business thinking. A Whole New Mind has even been described as a miracle by famous management guru Tom Peters, who has praised Daniel H. Pink as the “Copernicus for the brave new age.”

In preparation to interview Dan Pink and Stan McChrystal together on February 7th, please enjoy the first interview we did with Dan on “When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing.” If you have any questions you’d like to hear asked during the upcoming interview, please let us know!   Daniel H. Pink, the #1 bestselling author of Drive and To Sell Is Human, unlocks the scientific secrets to good timing to help you flourish at work, at school, and at home. Everyone knows that timing is everything. But we don’t know much about timing itself. Our lives as leaders are a never-ending stream of “when” decisions: when to start a business, when to hire people, when to deal with sunk costs, when to take on debt, etc. Yet we make those decisions based on intuition and guesswork.   Key Takeaways   The discussion starts with the topic of the Free Agent Nation — people working for themselves. Asked about Autonomy and Solitude as “motivators” versus the need for Collaboration as a team, Dan says that leadership needs to provide a balance between the two. He says the challenge is the architecture, both physically and metaphorically. He says that leaders should provide the same autonomy inside and outside the organization; and a sense of purpose whether the team member is full-time, part-time, or contracted. [7:55] By 2020, 43% of the workforce will be in the ‘gig’ economy. This requires different work environments and skills from leaders. Daniel wrote Free Agent Nation in 2001, before smartphones. In the years since, the difference between employee and freelancer has shrunk. [9:45] Leaders influence, persuade, convince, and cajole. These leadership roles are sales activities and effort, time, commitment, belief, and zeal are the currency. Leaders and sales reps have little coercive power. Both roles must be adept at broadly influencing people. [11:30] ‘If/then’ motivators are effective only for simple, short-term tasks. Most leaders undervalue questions of timing in leadership decisions. They think of who, what, and how, but don’t consider when to do it. The book, When, is really about the science of timing… and that leaders have systematically undervalued questions of when and  timing when making critical decisions. Too often, leaders focus on who, what, and how, and short shrift when. Time management and timing overlap. [13:05] “Time-of-day explains about 20% of the variance in human performance on the sorts of tasks people perform at work.” Timing is important. Leaders can boost productivity, creativity, and  team performance at essentially no cost by putting the right task during the right time of day. “All times of day are not created equal.” [15:25] Be conscious of the stages of the day. There are three stages: peak, trough, and rebound. Your best analytic and focused work is done in the peak time. The trough period is when you lose attention. Administrative tasks could be done in this time. The rebound period is an ideal time for creative and collaborative work. Doing the right work at the right time will lift performance. [18:25] Chronobiology: There are morning people (larks) and evening people (owls). Younger people are more often owls, and older workers are more often larks. For example, people aged 14–24 are usually Owls, so you need to allow for rhythms according to their ages (no meetings at 7 a.m. for a young team!). [23:10] Daniel explains the new ABCs of Selling: Attunement, Buoyancy, and Clarity. Attunement is the difficult leadership skill of seeing from another’s point of view. Clarity is communicating intent. Leaders need to explain the what, the why, and the significance of the mission. Buoyancy represents treating everyone fairly. Attunement is seeing someone else’s point of view (a little different than empathy). As for “Commander’s Intent” — people often don’t know what they’re supposed to do and how it fits in at a strategic level, which is a leadership imperative. Other ways to communicate intent: Here’s why; Here’s what it means to all of us; and Here’s why it’s significant... [26:40] Daniel takes organizations through an exercise described in “DRIVE,” he calls “Whose Purpose Is It, Anyway?” That is, what’s the purpose of this company? It reveals that many employees have no idea about the purpose of their company. It leads to discussion of an organization finding their purpose. [30:55] From the book, DRIVE, Daniel says we have an innate drive to grow, but we can only do it with information on how we are doing. Leaders need to give continual feedback to employees. Weekly, informal one-on-ones work well for that. Leaders need to be coached on how to do them. Asked, “What drives you, Dan?” He says he was making timing decisions in a haphazard way and wanted to make better decisions about when to spend time. [35:15] Most people are curious about something. Leaders are taught to talk, not to listen, and to answer questions, not to ask them. Curiosity can be developed somewhat... If you get better at asking questions and listening, you’ll get better at being curious. This also requires patience. Dan is committed to reading more — at 30 minutes per day. How about you?   Quotable Quotes “All times of day are not created equal.” Too often, leaders focus on who, what, and how, and short shrift when. Doing the right work at the right time will lift performance. “Treating everyone well doesn’t mean treating everyone the same!” People have a deep-seated need for belongingness — and leaders who account for this can derive tremendous benefits. Fairness doesn’t get enough attention. Humans are attuned to the norm of fairness. “Leaders who are fair are those who will thrive in the long run.” “The ability to listen well is a deeply under-developed skill.” “The feedback mechanisms in companies are fundamentally broken.” “Leaders need to establish continuous conversations.” Annual performance reviews are an absurd channel for feedback. Leadership should provide informal and frequent high-metabolism kinds of feedback! Follow your curiosity! Find about where people are curious in some other realm of their life. Help people get better at asking questions to develop their ability to listen. We need to be more intentional — and less like driftwood. Schedule what’s actually meaningful! Schedules should be sacrosanct.   Where to follow Dan Twitter: @DanielPink Facebook: @DanielHPink Website: DanPink.com Website: DanPink.com/resources/ Website: DanPink.com/pinkcast/   Resources Mentioned McChrystal Group website When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, by Daniel H.

This is something I’ve learnt - Collectives are not entities. A government cannot care for you, only another person can. An organisation cannot care for you, only a person can. In the book Free Agent Nation, Daniel Pink tells the story of how companies used to see themselves as a family. But is this model really the best for us? Should educational institutions continue to promote this model? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/justus-frank/message

Dan Pink, author of Whole New Mind, Free Agent Nation and editor for Wired.  

Welcome to episode #626 of Six Pixels of Separation.  Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation - Episode #626 - Host: Mitch Joel. It's hard not to be a fan of the work that Daniel Pink does. He is the author of six provocative books (Free Agent Nation, The Adventures of Johnny Bunko, A Whole New Mind, Drive, To Sell Is Human and his newest, When - The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing). His books have won multiple awards and have been translated into 37 languages. That's just the beginning of how his thinking has permeated into the work culture. He's usually spotting trends and ways to think differently about how we live and work, long before it becomes a household name or a growing trend. From television shows to magazine articles, Dan works tirelessly to figure out how to make his own life more efficient, and - in doing so - he shares his findings with all of us. When is a brilliant, compelling and fun book to read. Think about when you do your work. How do you choose when to do it? Gut? Instinct? When someone books you in a meeting? These are terrible ways to make your days as efficient as possible, according to Dan. It turns out that when you do stuff is as powerful as what you do. Don't believe me? Listen in.

From 2008: Daniel Pink has made a career of being first on business themes over the last seven years, ever since publication of "Free Agent Nation" in May 2001. His theory then? That more of us will be working for ourselves in the future. Well, it’s now the future, so I’ll ask him whether that came true. He also wrote "A Whole New Mind." But Dan’s newest book may be his greatest leap yet: a manga-style graphic novel titled "The Adventures of Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You’ll Ever Need."

Daniel H. Pink, the #1 bestselling author of Drive and To Sell Is Human, unlocks the scientific secrets to good timing to help you flourish at work, at school, and at home. Everyone knows that timing is everything. But we don’t know much about timing itself.

How about you?   Twitter: @DanielPink Facebook: @DanielHPink Website: DanPink.com Website: DanPink.com/resources/ Website: DanPink.com/pinkcast/   Quotable Quotes   “All times of day are not created equal”   Too often leaders focus on who, what and how, and short shrift when.   Doing the right work at the right time will lift performance.   “Treating everyone well doesn’t mean treating everyone the same!”   People have a deep-seated need for belongingness - and leaders who account for this - can derive tremendous benefits. Fairness doesn’t get enough attention. Humans are attuned to the norm of fairness.   “Leaders who are fair are those who will thrive in the long run.”   “The ability to listen well is a deeply under-developed skill.” “The feedback mechanisms in companies are fundamentally broken.”   “Leaders need to establish continuous conversations.”   Annual performance reviews are an absurd channel for feedback.   Leadership should provide informal and frequent high-metabolism kinds of feedback!   Follow your curiosity!   Find about where people are curious in some other realm of their life.   Help people get better at asking questions to develop their ability listen.   We need to be more intentional - and less like driftwood.   Schedule what’s actually meaningful!   Schedules should be sacrosanct.   Bio   Daniel H.

Today's Guest: Michael Uslan, comic book writer, "Archie Marries Betty" Betty   Archie Marries Betty by Michael Uslan I remember the first time I encountered Archie, Jughead, Betty, Veronica, Reggie, Moose, Mr. Weatherbee, Miss Grundy, Hot Dog and the rest of the Riverdale gang. It was in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, 1971, and we were visiting our cousins, the Sirotkins. Fred Sirotkin, the youngest of the three children, had a basement filled with shelf after shelf of neatly ordered comic books. It was nirvana for me—and probably still would be, if not for the great flood that hit Wilkes-Barre a year later, obliterating Fred’s collection and everything else in the wall of water’s path. MICHAEL USLAN podcast excerpt: "Yes, we take the Archie story one step beyond anything it's ever been taken before... This has become a firestorm on the Internet on a worldwide basis. The Today Show took a poll on who Archie should marry. It was 80% Betty, 20% Veronica--and Jughead came in a strong third." Fast-forward to January 2010 and America’s oldest teenager, Archie Andrews—sorry, Dick Clark—has graduated college and announced his engagement to Betty Cooper. The writer of this six-part Archie Comics series, which takes us through the characters’ future, is as much a surprise, perhaps, as Archie choosing girl-next-door Betty over girl-with-a billion-bucks Veronica. His name is Michael Uslan, and while he’s written a few comic books before, he’s based known as an executive producer behind some of the biggest comic book movies of all time, including Batman and The Dark Knight. This is Michael’s second visit to Mr. Media Radio; he was previously a guest to discuss The Spirit movie, of which he was a producer.

Today's Guest: Corey Michael Blake, CEO, Round Table Companies, Smarter Comics Mr. Media is recorded live before a studio audience of 47-year-old fanboys who could really stand to take a bath and develop some practical business skills besides knowing how many comics fit snugly in a longbox… in the NEW new media capital of the world… St. Petersburg, Florida!   It’s been a while since business writer Daniel Pink was a guest on Mr. Media to talk about his first graphic novel, Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You’ll Ever Need. That book was intended for an audience of job seekers who lacked some basic skills needed to succeed in the modern workplace. They were also people who weren’t likely to buy and read Pink’s nonfiction, picture-less narratives such A Whole New Mind or Free Agent Nation. COREY MICHAEL BLAKE audio excerpt: "I found Chris Anderson's email address. I said, 'We're interested in taking your book, The Long Tail, and introducing it to comic book fans.' In 24 hours I had an answer: 'Let's talk to my agent.' It hit his sweet spot. He loves to be an innovator ans he is a comic book fan."  Apparently Pink was on to something – Johnny Bunko has since been translated into 14 different languages. Now a company called Round Table is working with SmarterComics to turn Pink’s one-off project into an industry. It has produced graphic novels from six respected, bestselling business experts and is marketing them to an audience unlikely to read 300 pages of text but probably willing to invest the time and effort into a 50-page comic book full of immediately useful knowledge, told in an entertaining fashion. At the top of the list of SmarterComics’ initial release this April 2011 is The Long Tail by Wired magazine editor Chris Anderson. Also noteworthy is an adaptation of the 2,500-year-old The Art of War by Sun Tzu, a classic battleplan for success found on the shelf of every modern CEO. I know a little about educational comics myself, having written the biography of Will Eisner, who started the whole genre back in World War II with Army Motors. So I thought it would be interesting to have Round Table CEO Corey Michael Blake on the show to talk about his new enterprise.

Okay, Success Chargers.  You're different.  You see opportunity where others only see roadblocks, but let's be honest about this one.  What is wrong with simply having a "hobby".  Why does EVERYBODY seem to think they have to be "hustlin" or "grindin".  When really, so many of those same people, are just...well...."Strugglin". Dan Pink's book, Free Agent Nation, rocked my world when I read it nearly 10 years ago.  In the text, he explains how the world is basically shifting from what we think of as a traditional employment world, to a "gig economy" world (I'm pretty sure "gig economy" is a newer term, but you get it, right?)   There's only one problem.  Too many of the very companies who would prefer to pay for talent ONLY when they REALLY NEED IT, have build vast systems to support a "traditional business model" and they often find themselves ill-equipped to actually execute on a plan that the "gigsters" would LOVE.... Being able to work on projects as a free-agent on an "as-needed" basis with enough frequency to be able to effectively blend work with the lifestyle they prefer.   I think we're on our way to seeing Pink's reality, it's just taking longer than many people would like.  Leaving many with a strong DESIRE to be a free agent stuck in a purgatory between what they really want and the harsh realities of the ever-expanding cost of living.  (Television used to only cost the price of the TV itself, you know....and it wasn't that long ago.  Now....$200+ month is not uncommon just for the "content".) So this week, we beg the question, "Do you REALLY have a side hustle, or is that stuff you work on after work just a "hobby"....and by the way, there is NOTHING wrong with having a good ol' fashioned hobby. Sound off at our FB page www.FaceBook.com/SuccessChargerPodcast or drop us a quick note at podcast@ideacharger.com and let us know.   Does your side hustle make money?  Do you actually do anything for fun anymore, or are you  trying to "monetize" EVERYTHING you do?  Or, are you a hipster who still goes to coffee shops for the **gasp** actual coffee?

This article marks the start of a new series in Professionally Speaking. For the past three years I've published a monthly Pro-Track Profile interview featuring members of the Pro-Track class of the Northern California Chapter of the National Speakers Association. I've decided to start a similar series featuring freelance creatives who make their living as communications consultants, writers, editors, and more. This Freelance Focus series kicks off with an interview with the founder of the Agency which has provided me with the majority of my own freelance work for the past three years. René Shimada Siegel is a reluctant entrepreneur who founded High Tech Connect in 1997 at the persistent request of her Silicon Valley colleagues. They were frustrated by the challenge of finding qualified marketing consultants with no time to train them on a specific product or technology. So René leveraged her PR and marcom management experience—as well as a jam-packed Rolodex, caffeine-fueled lifestyle and talented friends—to create a specialized marketing services agency called High Tech Connect. Over the past 15 years, more than 500 clients have called on the High Tech Connect team for critical projects or to fill in for maternity and medical leaves. With a carefully selected nationwide network of more than 1000 freelance consultant specialists, they provide on-demand, project-based expertise in areas such as Copywriting and Editing, Corporate Communications, Event & Trade Show Management, Executive Speechwriting, Public Relations and Social Media Marketing. René has grown High Tech Connect to a leading provider of expert marketing and communications, and one of the largest women-owned businesses in the San Francisco Bay Area. She’s extremely proud of the team she’s built: like-minded professionals who are equally passionate about helping clients and inspiring consultants. René is a regular contributor to Inc.com, dispensing advice and perspective for small business owners and entrepreneurs. Her innovative business model and inspiration for home-based consultants has also been documented in several books and publications like Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek Japan and Daniel Pink’s Free Agent Nation. Freelance consultants High Tech Connect employ carefully selected experts to work on complex projects for more than 500 clients, including Cisco Systems, IBM, NetApp, Intel, Kaiser Permanente, Brocade, Intuit, CA Technologies, McAfee, Xilinx, VeriSign, Seagate, Silicon Valley Leadership Group and more. The freelance consultants placed through High Tech Connect average 10-20 years of professional marketing or communications experience. Consultants are paid either on a 1099 or W-2 basis, depending on the client company’s requirements. Freelance Focus I've worked as a consultant through High Tech Connect for the past three years. I visited René in her Pleasanton, California office and asked her share her insights into the world of freelance consulting, what companies are looking for today, and what issues do employees who are considering switching to freelance work need to consider.
