When is the last time you interviewed for a new position? It could have been at a new company, or maybe you had an interview was for a different position inside your existing company. Perhaps you needed to talk to a manager internally for a new project. I've tried to treat all my one-on-one meetings or reviews as interviews since I'm usually trying to impress someone enough to get a raise or promotion. Preparing for something you do rarely is hard. Most of us have interviews very infrequently, and we often aren't prepared to impress others. If your partner or a close friend is also a business person, perhaps they can help you get ready, but I've found that most people struggle to help others prepare as they don't know how themselves.

Many interviewers report that they make up a big percentage of their mind about applicants during the first few minutes of an interview. This episode replay shares a number of very specific suggestions and tips to make yourself stand out during these first interactions, now that we're in the thick of Round 2 interview season. Our host Chandler shares his suggestions for something he calls a “personal MBA soundbite” – including how you can create this soundbite, how you can incorporate it into the beginning of your first question, and how you can use this language to provide a framework for your entire interview.  While each is different, the main goals of a personal MBA soundbite are to: summarize who you are in an interesting/memorable/dynamic/compelling way at the start of your interview, create a framework for the first part of your conversation so that the interviewer understands your life and work experiences in the appropriate context given your future goals, and   develop a short *elevator pitch* that can not only be useful as you prep for your interviews… but also in terms of other elements of your admissions journey–from speaking to current students, to alums, to admissions officers, etc.  This episode is perfect for anyone wanting to start off on the right foot for that all-important MBA admission interview. 

In this episode of the Confident Woman Lead podcast, host Anita Miller addresses why many high-performing black women are often not heard in professional settings. Anita explains how women often frame their voices for survival rather than leadership, using disclaimers and over-explanations that diminish their authority. She shares insights on the shift needed to reframe one's message from problem-focused to opportunity-focused, enabling them to communicate powerfully and lead effectively. Join Anita in exploring how to transform your communication style and stand out as a leader.

Landing Your Dream Marketing Role in the #RemoteEra Most marketing execs are getting ghosted in 2025—but the ones scoring Director to CMO roles are doing way more. I'll show you the exact moves that land $250K calls, even remotely. Hi, I'm Melissa Llarena, and welcome back to the podcast. For over a decade, I've helped ambitious marketing executives and advertising leaders land their dream careers through my global job search coaching firm, Career Outcomes Matter, launched in 2011. I'm back, better than ever, with strategies that work right now—and today, we're tackling how you can stand out in this cutthroat #RemoteEra or #Hybrid job market. Let's get real—this isn't your average job advice. In 2025, landing those rare, high-stakes marketing roles isn't about just sending a resume, cover letter, or even thoughtfully updating applications. It's about outworking and out-strategizing the competition. Let me ask you something to set the stage… Would YOU have stayed on the Titanic, knowing you had a chance to get off before the last lifeboat was filled? Hoping you'd survive icy waters isn't smart—and neither is letting your marketing career sink when you could turn it around. You wouldn't watch a campaign fail if you knew how to save it, right? The same goes for your career, especially in today's #RemoteEra or #Hybrid world. As a high-performing marketer or job seeker, you're in a race—and it's tougher than ever to land Director-level and above roles, especially if you're a working parent or world-class aunt eyeing flexibility. But here's the truth I've seen and helped my clients achieve: the marketers getting interviews and calls in 2025 aren't just applying—they're bringing market analysis, SOPs, portfolios, and 90–100 day plans that blow hiring leaders away. That's how you prove you're worth multiple rounds and a salary at the top end of $130K–$285K+. Imagine cutting your job search short, writing that resignation letter, and avoiding a layoff. That's the edge I give my clients—and I'm sharing it with you today.” Let's get specific—here are four high-level marketing roles I know will attract top talent in 2025, where the differentiator is the candidate who brings the goods. These are the exact deliverables I've helped my clients create, present, and land with, along with quick pro tips based on what impresses hiring leaders: Headspace - Principal Brand Strategist, $130K–$183K base: Bring a one-page analysis of the mental health ecosystem—why Headspace beats Calm or other apps—and show how branding creates a utilization halo effect. Director of Marketing, Advisory Practice at Acquisition.com, Las Vegas, NV (Hybrid), $150K–$180K base: Prove you can lead with praise, not punishment, and explain how you'd contribute to Alex's $1B-plus vision in 36 months or less. SVP, Marketing Enablement at Warner Music Group, $210K–$285K base: Bring a framework showing how you'd lead a full marketing service provider audit. Chief of Staff, Marketing at IBM (Salary not posted): Dive into CMO Clay's vision—check his talks—and understand how McKinsey trains leaders, since you'll likely compete with McKinsey alums or IBM insiders. *All roles can be found on LinkedIn. They are live as of March 3rd, 2025.* These moves are what's working now to land $285K calls, even remotely. That's the ‘doing more' that gets you noticed in 2025. How do I know this works? I launched Career Outcomes Matter in 2011 to coach global marketing leaders like you, wrote Fertile Imagination—a #1 Amazon bestseller in 2023—to inspire storytelling for dream careers, and I've hosted icons like Beth Comstock and GaryVee on this podcast early on. Recently, I earned my meditation certification after a two-year program to support clients through high-stress transitions. I've dedicated my life to learning and teaching the art of relationship-building—and now, I'm back with strategies that give you the edge in this brutal job market. Listen, if you're a serious marketing executive ready to stop getting ghosted and land your dream $150K+ role—or boost your income by 25%—I'm here to help. I'm enrolling a max of 10 ambitious marketing leaders into my 9-week group coaching program, starting this Sunday, March 9, 2025. It's a 2-week risk-free trial, and if you join by March 31st, I'll personally rewrite your resume or LinkedIn profile for free—that's a $1,500 value. Book a 15-minute job search fit session with me today at www.melissallarena.com/sessions. I've got tons of slots open in the next 48-hours, and I'd love to see if this is the right fit for you—or anyone you know who's frustrated with their boss, worried about layoffs, stalled on promotions, or feeling stuck. Let's turn your career into the success story it's meant to be. I'm Melissa Llarena, and I can't wait to help you win. A client was on a sinking ship in the energy sector and here's what she said about our partnership.... From A Sinking Ship Company in The Energy Sector To A Remote Strategic Partnerships Role In A Top Tier Business School I did get the offer as you know = great result!! The back-and-forth collaboration on interview questions and answers was powerful for me. I liked that you kept me accountable. I would have dragged my feet a lot longer. By investing in coaching this made me cut through my excuses and motivated me to go above and beyond by preparing for an interview 10x more than what I have ever done before. I got my dream job and the hiring manager told me how impressed everyone was and how my performance was heads above the other candidates who were MORE experienced in the function. My work is quite fun. It's rewarding work, fantastic people, ramping up some new skills and the lifestyle is to die for. Thank you, Melissa for our partnership."

How acceptance and authenticity can transform all of our interactions.What's the key to experiencing deeper connection in our communication? According to Alan Alda, it starts with acceptance — of others and ourselves."Connecting, communicating, and clarity," Alda explains, "they're all based on hearing what the other person is really saying; letting the person be real; accepting them.” As an acclaimed actor, writer, director, and author of If I Understood You, Would I Have This Look on My Face?, Alda has spent much of his career exploring how acceptance enables us to be our authentic selves, leading to better communication and truer connection. “There's nothing more engaging than the real you,” he says.Also the founder of the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science at Stony Brook University, Alda strives to help scientists and health professionals communicate more effectively with the public. “Science can't do its work unless it gets funded. And it can't get funded if people don't understand what the scientists are trying to do,” he says.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Alda and host Matt Abrahams discuss how acceptance and authenticity can transform all of our interactions, from complicated science conversations to everyday communication.Episode Reference Links:Alan AldaAlan's Book: If I Understood You, Would I have This Look on My Face? Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science Ep.82 It's Not About You: Why Effective Communicators Put Others First Ep.114 Communication Means Paying Attention: The Four Pillars of Active Listening Connect:Email Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00:00) IntroductionHost Matt Abrahams introduces guest Alan Alda, an actor and communication expert.(00:00:59) Motivation for CommunicationWhat led to Alan's passion for helping scientists communicate effectively.(00:02:59) Avoiding Communication PitfallsCommon communication mistakes and the importance of experiential learning.(00:05:15) The Role of Clarity and VividnessHow clear, vivid communication makes messages memorable.(00:06:22) Reflection in CommunicationReflecting on conversations to foster connection.(00:07:12) Connection in ConversationsThe role of early connection in communication.(00:08:27) Reframing Communication AnxietyReframing communication anxiety by focusing on connection.(00:10:07) Asking Meaningful QuestionsThe importance of genuine curiosity in asking good questions.(00:11:02) Matt's Communication JourneyMatt recalls a childhood experience that inspired his passion for communication.(00:12:49) The Art of StorytellingHow vividness and structure create engaging stories.(00:15:16) The Final Three QuestionsAlan shares an area of communication he is working on, a communicator he admires, and his recipe for successful communication.(00:17:23) Conclusion (00:00) - Introduction (01:57) - Motivation for Communication (03:57) - Avoiding Communication Pitfalls (06:13) - The Role of Clarity and Vividness (07:20) - Reflection in Communication (08:10) - Connection in Conversations (09:25) - Reframing Communication Anxiety (11:05) - Asking Meaningful Questions (12:00) - Matt's Communication Journey (13:47) - The Art of Storytelling (16:14) - The Final Three Questions (18:21) - Conclusion

Whether winning over a hiring manager or winning new business, career success often hinges on how we communicate. That's why Andrew Seaman is on a mission to help people find the words that work — to get work.Seaman is the senior managing editor for jobs and career development at LinkedIn, and as the creator and host of the Get Hired podcast and newsletter, he helps millions hone communication skills to land the jobs they want. According to him, getting opportunities isn't just about experience or connections, but how we frame and present our personal and professional narratives. With a standard resume, he says, “You're making them connect the dots. And people are not good at that.” Instead, he recommends crafting a story that explains where you've been, where you are, and where you hope to go. “Connect the dots for them,” he says, “so they're not viewing you as a person who has bounced around. They're thinking, this person has had a cohesive career.”In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Seaman and host Matt Abrahams explore tools for navigating the interview process, networking on and offline, and communication strategies to get hired.Episode Reference Links:Andrew Seaman: Website Andrew Seaman: LinkedIn Andrew's Podcast: Get HiredEp.118 Maximizing Your Brand: Communicating Who You Are to Help Get What You Want Website / YouTube Ep.147 Disrupt Yourself: How to Innovate Who You Are and Become Who You Can Be YouTube Ep.62 Best Of: Summer Learning Series, How Humor Can Be a Secret Weapon in Communication Website / YouTubeConnect:Email Questions & Feedback >>> thinkfast@stanford.eduEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn Page, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInStanford GSB >>> LinkedIn & TwitterChapters:(00:00:00) IntroductionHost Matt Abrahams introduces guest Andrew Seaman, Senior Managing Editor for Jobs and Career Development at LinkedIn.(00:00:57) Importance of Online PresenceThe significance of maintaining an online presence and tips on optimizing LinkedIn profiles.(00:01:52) Posting on LinkedInThe frequency and type of posts on LinkedIn, balancing professional and personal content.(00:03:41) Commenting vs. PostingAdvice on adding value through comments and engaging with posts.(00:05:12) Interview PresenceThe importance of presence in interviews, sharing examples of making good and bad impressions.(00:06:59) Recovering from Bad ImpressionsThe challenges and possibilities of recovering from a poor first impression in an interview setting.(00:07:48) Interviewing from the Interviewer's PerspectiveTips for hiring managers on how to conduct effective interviews and evaluate candidates.(00:10:25) Challenging Interview QuestionsThe appropriateness and benefits of challenging candidates during interviews to assess their fit and preparedness.(00:11:44) Best Practices for IntervieweesStrategies for interviewees to prepare and effectively answer questions, using the ADD method.(00:13:58) Handling Spontaneity in InterviewsPreparing for interviews when time is limited and the importance of flexibility and adaptability.(00:17:17) Following Up After InterviewsBest practices for following up after an interview to leave a positive impression.(00:19:43) Broader Career AdviceLeveraging online communities and tools for career growth, emphasizing networking.(00:22:14) The Final Three QuestionsAndrew shares his favorite response to an interview question, a communicator he admires, and three ingredients for successful communication.(00:25:31) ConclusionSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Since helping her husband earn his first superintendent position more than a decade ago, Jacqueline Severidt has made a career out of coaching golf executives up the career ladder. Her do's and don'ts are essential for anyone aiming to retire from their next position. Jacqueline is the founder and owner of Severidt Consulting, a private club marketing firm, and has nearly 20 years of experience securing contracts for businesses and individuals. For more than a decade, she has been supporting top individuals in the golf club industry as they earn premier positions along the East Coast, raising the standard for talent acquisition. Jacqueline assists with strategy, portfolio creation, and pre-interview support, including presentations and coaching. She has successfully secured contracts for individuals at all leadership levels, from first assistants to general managers and department heads. Her clients have been hired at prestigious clubs such as Congressional Country Club, Columbia Country Club, Chevy Chase Club, Woodmont Country Club, Round Hill Club, The Buffalo Club, Washington Golf and Country Club, and many more. Jacqueline is married to Ryan Severidt, the director of golf courses and grounds operations at Woodmont Country Club in Rockville, Maryland. The couple has two children. Top 2 Tips to Make Your Application Stand Out After helping golf executives secure leadership positions for more than 10 years, Jacqueline has seen application portfolios that run the gamut from eagles to double bogeys. Here are two of her top tips to help your resume stand out: Firstly, save your compliments. Standard reference letters from colleagues are expected, but unprompted feedback from relative strangers can be more impactful. If you've hosted a tournament or worked an event and received positive feedback about your performance, include those notes or emails in your portfolio. Second, quantify your accomplishments. Use metrics to prove your results to future employers. Highlight how many man-hours you saved by implementing a new strategy, how much money you saved on a project, or how much you grew the membership at your course. The Importance of Work-Life Balance According to our 2024 Golf Course Superintendent Employment Trend Report, 80% of respondents are trying to improve their work-life balance. This is a challenge for golf executives dealing with finicky boards of directors, shifting strategies, and industry changes. Jacqueline discussed tips she and her husband have implemented at home to help him succeed as a course superintendent, spouse, and father of two young children. “Tactically, we've had to organize ourselves a lot better,” she said. Enjoy this episode of Leadership on the Links with Jacqueline Severidt! Quotes “My favorite thing is that I'm helping people to achieve their dream jobs.” “There's never a time I work with a client that I do not ask for more metrics.” “Let people know who you are, because they don't want to work with someone they don't like.” “For families, it's like whiplash. You can hardly get into a routine, and then it's changing.” “If you have cabins on the property, you never know what you're going to find under the sprinkler heads in the morning.” Links mentioned in this episode: Tyler Bloom Consulting: https://tylerbloomconsulting.com/ Severidt Consulting: https://www.severidtconsulting.com/ Connect with Jacqueline on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacqueline-severidt-18653136/ Email Jacqueline at: jacqueline@severidtconsulting.com
