Making the office a place for collaboration and idea generation is crucial, but it must be done in a way that respects individual preferences and safety concerns. 00:16:42 - Challenges of Remote Work and Real Estate,  Many companies had to downsize their office spaces during the pandemic due to financial constraints. However, finding the right balance of remote work and in-person collaboration remains a challenge. Different industries and organizations have unique needs and must determine what approach works best for them. 00:18:30 - The Value of In-Person Collaboration,  In agencies, where brainstorming and collaboration are vital, being physically present can enhance creativity and energy. While virtual collaboration is possible, the magic often happens when diverse teams come together in person. However, organizations must be mindful of including remote team members to ensure everyone feels connected. 00:19:51 - Leadership in a Remote Work Environment,  Great leaders must be empathetic, good listeners, and understand that it is impossible to please everyone.

It emphasizes the importance of understanding their values, vision, and learning styles to create alignment and motivation within the team. Taking the time to think about individual team members before interactions can greatly impact their engagement and fulfillment. 00:36:11 - Building Trust and Connection,  The conversation emphasizes the need for leaders to build trust and connection with their team members. This involves understanding their values, vision, and role in achieving the group's goals. By creating alignment between the organization's values, the leader's values, and the individual team members' values, leaders can foster a sense of belonging and fulfillment in their team. 00:42:58 - The Challenges of Virtual Leadership,  The discussion explores the challenges of building relationships and trust in a virtual work environment. It highlights the need for leaders to demonstrate courage, bravery, and trustworthiness, as well as to act as a source of stability and certainty during uncertain times. The importance of leading with empathy, emotional intelligence, and trust is emphasized, particularly in an unpredictable world. 00:50:40 - The Importance of Nurturing Relationships in a Remote Work Environment,  In a remote work environment, leaders need to be proactive in nurturing relationships to prevent complacency and maintain strong bonds within the team. Building trust and rapport is crucial, and leaders should focus on nurturing rather than micromanaging their employees. 00:53:19 - Setting Clear Expectations and Deadlines,  Leaders should have open and honest conversations with their team members about assignments, deadlines, and expectations. It is important to establish a contract where both parties agree on what success looks like and communicate any challenges or struggles early on. 00:56:25 - Embracing AI and the Importance of Integration,  AI is becoming increasingly important in the PR industry, and leaders should embrace it as a tool to enhance their work rather than fear it. Integration is also crucial, as PR professionals should explore how different channels and platforms can work together to maximize impact. 01:00:50 - Approaching AI with a Growth Mindset,  Instead of approaching AI with fear, leaders should have a growth mindset and view it as an opportunity to learn and improve their practice. AI can automate certain tasks, allowing professionals to focus on higher-value work and think of new ways to contribute. 01:04:51 - The Importance of Lifetime Learning and Staying Relevant,  Staying relevant in any field requires a commitment to lifetime learning. Professionals should continuously seek to expand their knowledge and skills to adapt to changing technologies and industry trends. Relevance is key to 01:07:29 - Learning About AI,  The guest expresses fascination with AI and how it can lead to deep exploration and questioning of what is true. They also express nervousness about being asked about their use of AI in their coaching practice in the future. 01:08:12 - The Future of AI,  The guest speculates about the possibility of speaking with an AI-generated simulacrum of the host in the future.

Today's guest is the founder of a company many of you watch fans have heard of time and again, and my history with Ken Jacobs spans the better part of 10 or so years. So this conversation was a fun version of memory lane to take a stroll down, which we do just that out of the gate. The recording of this episode also happened to fall on the day I took delivery of my 5513 Submariner - a watch I consider to be my grail Sub. Ken does not come from a watch background, in fact, he had an entirely different career prior to starting Wanna Buy a Watch. More on that in the chat, and it was fun to dive deep into his history with time pieces, and how he became one of the preeminent dealers of pre-owned and vintage watches selling to many of the watch collectors with whom you and I are surely quite familiar. Something that seems to run in the Wanna Buy A Watch Family is a sense of humor. The store is a warm embrace, and as we sat in the living room-like section in the front, a lot of laughing took place and Ken was nothing shy of a great host. Needless to say, we take some twists and turns, including some neon clock discussion. Ken offers a wonderful glimpse into his life and I can't thank him enough for his candor. As a result I didn't edit much at all out of this conversation - mainly because I feel it really gives you a sense of who Ken is and his delivery which I love. At the end of the day, he just wants to get great watches into the hands of great people, and I think that's why we keep coming back. If you haven't visited Ken and his team there on Melrose, I highly recommend it.

In the last year leaders have had to make difficult decisions, push through very uncomfortable situations and be resilient when things got really tough. More than 50 such people launched new PR agencies at a time when the world was in turmoil, while others had to pivot their businesses as the bottom fell out of the industries they traditionally served. All of these leaders demonstrated extreme courage. In this episode of the Digital Download podcast, leadership coach Ken Jacobs discusses why bravery is so important in modern leadership, why effective decision making relies upon it, what the elements of courageous leadership are, and how you can develop it in yourself and in others.

So, You Want to Be a Thought Leader? First, Become a Leader.   How to Become a Leader, With Leadership Coach: Ken Jacobs   A lot of our work at Veracity centers around positioning and building thought leaders, especially for our B2B clients. While we are lucky to work with many truly amazing leaders, I am sometimes stumped when giving clients advice on how to become thought leaders because I believe the journey begins well before positioning leaders in content pieces, speaking engagements or press interviews. It starts with becoming a leader. Being at the beginning stages of my own leadership career, I thought I’d go straight to the source to find out all about leadership: to my leadership and business coach, of course! This episode features leadership consultant Ken Jacobs, with Jacobs Consulting & Executive Coaching, which helps PR and marketing agencies, along with their leaders, achieve and surpass their goals.

Welcome to episode 8 of Anechoic Chamber, free form audio from the margins of arts and culture. Our guest for this edition is Rick Reed, an Austin, Texas based visual artist and electronic musician. As one of the first individuals in the area to record and perform home-grown electronic music outside of an academic or otherwise institutional framework, Rick has been a key participant in Austin's transformation into a city where the surplus of new electronic music, rather than a deficit, is the challenge to be dealt with. His even-handed and unique approach has led to fruitful collaborations not only with experimental music icons such as Keith Rowe, but also with pioneers of synesthetic film including Ken Jacobs and Aldo Tambellini. Inspired by the odd malfunctions of analog communications media (for example, de-tuned shortwave radio or distorted television signals), Reed has spent decades crafting art that hints at the ease with which reality can be completely transformed by slight perceptual shifts. We discuss this, and more, in the conversation to follow.

Bill Morrison's most recent feature film, 'Dawson City: Frozen Time' (2016) is an astonishing look at the history of early cinema, and of North America in the early 20th century, told almost entirely with footage found buried in the former gold-mining town. But it is the product of a 25-year film career in which Morrison has built a distinctive way of telling stories using archive film, often in states of decay, and contemporary music. This week, Juliet talks to Morrison about his practice, from his time at film school to the present.

How deep can deep reading go? Paul Karasik & Mark Newgarden talk about the 10-year project of exploring a single Nancy strip, for their new book How To Read Nancy: The Elements of Comics in Three Easy Panels (Fantagraphics). We get into the wonders of Ernie Bushmiller's signature strip, the transformative class they took with filmmaker Ken Jacobs, the malfunctioning tape recorder that led to the whole project, the challenges of getting Jerry Lewis to write the book's foreword, Nancy's role as proto-feminist, and more! Plus, I get them to talk about the secret story of the first time they met, where their collecting impulse came from, the pleasure of finding a good flea market, Art Spiegelman's strength as a teacher, how each of them teaches comics and how a lot of students have no sense of comics history, and how they keep the "ick" in "academic"! • More info at our site • Support The Virtual Memories Show via Patreon or Paypal

What does it mean to coach others? Are you better at giving advice or asking questions? After more than 25 years in supervision, management, and leadership, Ken Jacobs founded Jacobs Communications Consulting in 2007. Through his business, he found that even though he was a strong consultant, he really had a passion for helping people through coaching—but he wanted to become even better at “helping unstick clients who are stuck.” He went to coaching school (yes, it exists!) and founded Jacobs Executive Coaching in 2014. Tune in as Ken shares how he got started as an executive coach, how to know when you’re ready for a little help, and the common qualities he sees in the leaders who truly empower their teams. In This Episode The important differences between being a consultant and a coach How to know when you’re ready to hire a coach—and when you’re not The challenges and opportunities many executives face today Must-have characteristics for today’s leaders and professional coaches Quotes in This Episode “When I coach, I don’t give advice. I don’t share my expertise... It’s really about believing in the client’s wisdom, it’s about empowering clients to get in touch with that wisdom… It’s much more about asking questions than giving answers.” —Ken Jacobs “When you delay a decision, that’s a decision, too! And it’s probably not the right one for themselves or their organization. Making a decision, even the ‘wrong’ decision, is actually better than no decision.” —Ken Jacobs “You have an opportunity to build trust in someone who works for you or a peer. You have an opportunity to build that relationship.” —Ken Jacobs “People don’t follow leaders because they have the big, fancy title or the big, fancy office. They follow people they trust. They follow people who inspire them. They follow confidence and bravery.” —Ken Jacobs “Your success is not about your success. Your success is about helping your team—empowering your team—to achieve their greatest success.” —Ken Jacobs Resources Jacobs Communications Consulting Jacobs Executive Coaching ken@jacobscomm.com @KensViews on Twitter Coming Soon: Jacobs Consulting and Executive Coaching

If you live in a New York apartment, there’s a good chance you have been bothered by one of two things – noise or smell. Either one of these two can wreak havoc on your life.

What to say about Ken Jacobs? An avant-garde film legend from his early epic film STAR SPANGLED TO DEATH to his Nervous Magic Lantern live performances. Even at just 40 minutes, his new film SEEKING THE MONKEY KING is another epic, combining strong political statements with his incredible use of abstract 3D imagery, showing how a new technology (and tired fad) can be used to create great art in the right hands.

Released in numerous international territories, it was distributed domestically by Kino International. Jacobs' short film KIRK AND KERRY was named Best Dramatic Short at the 1997 Slamdance Film Festival and became part of the Permanent Collection of the New York Public Library. He later teamed up with fellow filmmaker Gerardo Naranjo to make the micro-budget feature THE GOODTIMESKID, which found a small but loyal following, and was released by Benten Films. In 2009, he received a commission from the Museum of Modern Art in New York to create the short film I SEE. The son of avant-garde filmmaker Ken Jacobs, Jacobs was born in 1972 and raised in lower Manhattan surrounded by important and innovative artists. He went to undergraduate school at the film department of SUNY Purchase and received his Masters from the American Film Institute in 2002.
