You have heard me say before that leaders don’t wait, they create. We have the opportunity every single day to get out in the world and create whatever we want in our lives both personally and professionally. You first have to believe you can, that is the first step and then second you must ask yourself, will I? Will I really? As a little girl my Dad was one of my heroes, he was 100% self-made, and he lived every day to the fullest, he taught me, you can, the question is will you. He instilled in me and my brothers that “age is just a number”, and you are only as old as you decide to feel”, and I have believed that every day since then. Today we get to hear from someone who for me is 100% the very example of what my Dad told me, she amazes me in what she has created in her life and continues to each and every day. Not only her story, also what she does to make a difference in people’s lives will illuminate that leaders don’t wait, they create, and age is never a barrier. I am so excited for you to meet Joan Virginia Allen, who is an author, a personal trainer, a coach, and so much more.

Wingnut Social: The Interior Design Business and Marketing Podcast
Are you a designer struggling to figure out your brand identity? Joan Ravasy was in the same position—and decided to make a bold move and completely redesign her brand. Darla and Natalie played a hand in helping her transition her business into something bold that reflects who she is. Listen to this episode of the Wingnut Social podcast to learn some tips to help you nail down your brand identity. Joan Ravasy is a luxury interior designer performing interior miracles for clients in New Jersey, New York City, and Florida areas. She loves a vintage aesthetic and her goal is to help people transform their houses into homes that are classic and transcend time. She is on the board of directors for the New York chapter of ASID, sits on the Design council of LG’s Signature Kitchen Suite, and is an active member of the National Kitchen and Bath Association. What You’ll Hear On This Episode of Wingnut Social [4:02] Joan Ravasy’s background in the design industry [7:21] Trying to find your brand identity [10:32]What terrified Joan the most [12:09] Women are afraid to “play big” with branding [13:43] How Joan’s brand has evolved since rebranding [17:19] Characteristics of Joan’s brand that changed [19:13] WHY did Joan rebrand a successful business?

Connect with Joan Ravasy Joan’s website Connect on LinkedIn Joan’s Pinterest Page Follow Joan on Instagram Joan Ravasy Design on Facebook Resources & People Mentioned Book: Why Men Love Bitches: From Doormat to Dreamgirl National Kitchen + Bath Association Defining your brand identity Joan was impacted both personally and professionally when a big life change disrupted her world. She decided it was time to take a serious deep-dive into her brand and make some drastic changes—which meant completely rebranding. It wasn’t about money, but about increasing exposure and recognition for her body of work. Are you struggling to nail down your unique brand? Joan recommends that designers have a close friend or family member observe them and describe who you are and what your brand is to them. You can also ask someone less familiar with your brand to share their opinion. Getting an outside perspective can help you really hone in on what you want your brand identity to be. Joan wanted to take her brand—including her website—and make it more modern. It was high time she became up to date on the latest technology trends—including social media. It was a learning curve, but she knew it was worth the work. She recommends defining your brand logo and tagline, the colors you’ll use for your website, and even how you create your graphics and work to keep them consistent across platforms. Don’t be afraid to be larger than life Joan shared that she was like most people in that she strove to be modest when asked: “What do you do?” But she realized that it’s okay to share your accomplishments—it’s part of your brand and who you are. When Darla and Natalie first met Joan, they were awestruck by her sense of style—bold, vintage, and larger than life. Natalie flat out told her that SHE was the brand. Nothing about her appearance says she plays small and her brand needed to reflect that. Women are often afraid to “play big” with branding, but it often limits their potential. Women are trained to sit there and look pretty and be people-pleasers. Joan is brave, admittedly an “all-or-nothing” type of person. She stated, “I want to do it big and I want to do it well” and was ready for her personal branding to reflect that. Joan admits the process has been a learning curve for her, but well worth the effort. She had to learn to let go and share who she is and what she does with the world. So how should designers who are considering rebranding navigate the journey right now? What direction is the design industry moving in?

A common thread that runs through diverse and successful careers in STEM, whether in the academic or corporate world, is the ability to interpret and communicate complex and data-driven topics into narratives that can inspire action at the individual, corporate, and policy levels. However, many STEM professionals still grapple with the skills and attributes they need that can help them distill complex topics which makes the work of this week’s guest, Joan Wasser Gish, incredibly crucial. Joan Wasser Gish is an expert in translating findings from education, research, and implementation into policy and practice at scale. Twice appointed by the Governor to the Massachusetts Board of Early Education and Care, Joan helps to build systems that improve implementation and policies that make access to high-quality early education easier, particularly for low-income children across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. She joined the Boston College Lynch School of Education in 2015 to translate research on the effective integration of comprehensive services in K-12 into a state-wide infrastructure. This infrastructure was designed to support the integration of education with social services, youth development, health, and mental health resources for Massachusetts children and families. Joan and her team's impact has expanded beyond Massachusetts to include multiple states around the country. She has extensive experience related to educational and social domestic policies focused on low-income children and families. She's worked on these issues in a Presidential campaign and also in the United States Senate. Joan is helping to lead policy change across the country and has been published by the Washington Post, Brookings Institute, Education Week, and Commonwealth magazine. Joan holds an MA in Education Policy from Columbia University's Teachers College and a JD from Columbia School of Law. She received her BA in Political Science and Political Theory where she graduated Magna Cum Laude from Brown University. What You’ll Hear On This Episode of When Science Speaks [01:01] Mark introduces his guest, Joan Wasser Gish [03:08] The common theme in Joan’s diverse work experiences and the skills that helped make her successful in each of them [05:54] Joan shares why she thinks it’s important to pay attention to the political environment in her field of work [09:17] How Joan manages her various high-level responsibilities [11:10] Essential techniques and practices for distilling complex topics and in communicating these to policymakers [19:17] Joan reveals how she developed the skill to distill complex topics [21:26] How grad students, P.hDs, and postdocs can learn how to effectively communicate and discuss complex topics [27:24] Joan’s career journey and her takeaways from it Connect with Joan Wasser Gish Joan Wasser Gish on LinkedIn Lynch School of Education and Human Development Department of Early Education and Care Translating Data into Narratives to Inspire Action Whether it's communicating with policymakers or with potential investors, having the skill to translate complex topics and data into meaningful narratives is a core differentiator. Joan Wasser Gish says that while researchers focus on the rigor, accuracy, and integrity of their research and are able to effectively communicate and establish their credibility in the academe, that often isn’t the case when they’re presenting it to people who aren’t as familiar with the jargon and concepts that they are working on. Policymakers who want to make the best policies for their constituents aren’t so keen on learning terms that they can easily misunderstand or be confused with. What they want is an effectively and efficiently communicated narrative that they can easily grasp and turn into policy. This then is where Joan’s work is crucial: bridging the gap between research and policymaking. Essential skills and techniques for distilling complex topics For Joan, distilling complex topics for policymakers is about straightforward, accurate, and understandable translation of the relevant research. It is about refining the data they’ve found and summarizing it without losing its value, credibility, and relevance to the policy that is being pushed for and developed. This involves outlining the benefits of research for the purposes of the desired policy, as well as clearly pointing out the key points that policymakers need to focus on in the process of their policymaking. Drafting citations and providing access to ad rem reports are helpful but being able to get your point across in a succinct and comprehensible manner is even more vital.

Today, I am joined by a fabulously fierce feminine leader, advocate for female leaders throughout the corporate and entrepreneurial world, and owner of Green Connections Radio, Joan Michelson. Joan has made a huge impact in the corporate world and helping women “claim their power” in their industries. Her very specific, unique niche in the business community is in the Clean Tech area, also known as the “green space.” She joins us today to share her story about how the “green space” niche fell in her lap and provide some insight and tips to other women in leadership roles on ways they can find their voice within their organization. Keep Reading >> Here’s a Breakdown of the Topics We Covered: Joan’s story – how she dived into the Clean Tech space, the struggles she has endured, and how she overcame those struggles and how she empowers other women to do the same. Statistics show that women tend to get promoted on performance while men get promoted on potential. Women walk into a discussion or decision with a laundry list of assumptions. How Joan felt “held back” in her previous career goals, and what she did to overcome this common obstacle. Women have permission to change the rules in the corporate world, even though many feel as though they don’t. Using relationship building skills and deal closing skills at the same time produces results. Everyone in business – entrepreneurial or corporate – needs to do both. What is Joan’s business model? “Women tend to limit their choices by – unknowingly or unintentionally – setting boundaries.” Joan’s Advice for Women Who Are Looking to Build their Voice: Confidence Self-talk – listen to yourself, how you talk to others and yourself, to learn a lot about what your voice is and how you are, in your own way, making assumptions that may or may not be true. Network Be visible Ask for what you want Be willing to hear voices that are different from yours so you can stretch your knowledge. Be willing to learn new things and ask for help. Joan’s Advice for People Working Within a Corporate Entity and Want to Elevate Their Personal Brand: Go to your company’s communications team and ask to cover the public speaking engagements that the CEO cannot attend. Approach them with specific opportunities that will also benefit the company.

Joan Sotkin is an author, coach, and businesswoman who helps people understand why they do what they do with their money and how to change their financial behaviors. In the 1980’s Joan built her own mail order business selling crystals and making over $30,000 a month, but her lack of business and financial skills led to her downfall and bankruptcy. This led her down the path of learning everything she could about business and financial management, even attending 12-step programs like Debtors Anonymous and Co-Dependents Anonymous. She eventually went on to start her website prosperityplace.com and write her book Build Your Money Muscles: Nine Simple Exercises for Improving Your Relationship with Money, which won two national awards.

Why do people who are pretty smart make really stupid decisions? 24:38 – How we know when our identity factor is kicking in. 27:33 – Where all our emotions and feelings attached around money come from and steps we can take to change them. 30:50 – It’s not about the money. It’s about you, your relation to yourself, and your relationship with the world around you. 31:15 – What area in Joan’s own relationship with money she is working on right now. 32:45 – Why it’s easier for Joan to manage debt than it is for her to manage savings. 33:47 – The most unanticipated challenge Joan is currently facing. 37:04 – When you love, accept, acknowledge, and appreciate yourself, you will get paid, and you’re going to be living a rich life.
