Am 4. April feierte Microsoft seinen 50. Geburtstag. Wir haben keine Blumen geschickt, für die heutige Sendung auch nichts gebacken und nicht einmal ein Geburtstagsständchen eingeübt. Stattdessen haben wir im Archiv gegraben und sind auf diverse Peinlichkeiten gestossen, die sich dieser Konzern über die Jahre geleistet hat. Einige davon wurden aufgezeichnet – was uns in die Lage versetzt, sie heute genüsslich zu zelebrieren. Wir machen uns ein bisschen über diesen Tech-Konzern lustig – aber wir fragen uns auch, wie er es geschafft hat, die Computerbranche so lange zu dominieren, obwohl viele von uns spätestens Anfangs der Nullerjahre die Nase gestrichen voll vom Dominanzgehabe, den Sicherheitslücken, der Bevormundung durch den Internet Explorer, Media Player und später durch Onedrive und Copilot? Welche Spuren hat Microsoft in der Popkultur hinterlassen? Und war die Branche, trotz allem, vor fünf, vier oder drei Jahrzehnten nicht etwas lustiger?

Hosts Debbie Travis and Tommy Smythe welcome their former colleague Kirstine Stewart for a conversation about leadership and personal reinvention. Kirstine discusses her transformative career in the media and the importance of women in leadership roles. Kirsten also highlights the need for flexibility and self-awareness in career choices, advocating for personal fulfillment over societal expectations. She introduces a new course based on her book to help individuals navigate their careers effectively, emphasizing the need for individuals to define success on their own terms. More About Kristine Stewart: An inspirational and transformational executive leading change, Kirstine has spent her career at the intersection of media, technology and digital transformation, core drivers of innovation and business growth.  Kirstine was responsible for driving Twitter's initial entry into Canada, pre-IPO, and was promoted to the corporate leadership in NYC as VP Media NA. As the head of the TV, radio and digital for the Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC), Kirstine pioneered the broadcaster's foray into digital media, catapulting ratings while delivering $1.1 billion in total revenue. At Alliance Atlantis, a Canadian media company with a large portfolio of lifestyle channels, she delivered 20% growth year-over-year for four consecutive years, positioning the company as an M&A play in which it was sold for $2.3 billion. Recruited to lead international broadcast programming for the Hallmark Channel, encompassing 30 channels and 80 countries, she successfully increased the subscriber base while expanding into new markets, the business was acquired by Sparrowhawk Media for $240 million due to her efforts.  In her last role, Kirstine headed the Future of Media, Entertainment and Sport for the World Economic Forum and was a member of the executive committee. She also serves as an advisor to the Forum's Young Global Leaders initiative. Kirstine is the author of Our Turn, an award winning, best seller focused on leadership published by Penguin RandomHouse. Internationally recognized as an industry leader she has been named to the The Power 50: Canada's Most Powerful Business People by Canadian Business in 2016, Person of the Year by Playback Magazine for 2012, Woman of the Year by Canadian Women in Communications, Media Player of the Year by Marketing Magazine, Canada's Top 40 Under 40 Award in 2007, among others.  Our Turn VIP is a course and community, inviting people to take control of their careers by building a playbook that guides them to leverage their unique strengths and not compromise to “fit in”. Like the book Our Turn was; it's the anti Lean In, because it acknowledges we face challenges not of our making when trying to navigate our work.  Find out more about Kirstine, her course and book:  https://ourturn.vip/ LinkedIn.com/in/kirstinestewart14/  https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/240504/our-turn-by-kirstine-stewart/9780345814647 Chapters: (00:00) Introduction to Kirsten Stewart (02:48) Navigating Career Paths and Opportunities (05:54) The Evolution of Media and Audience Engagement (08:59) Understanding Audience Needs in Content Creation (11:53) The Role of Women in Media (15:03) Career Transitions and Personal Growth (17:55) The Importance of Mentorship and Community (21:07) Defining Success on Your Own Terms (23:48) Creating Your Own Opportunities (26:51) The Impact of Personal Branding (29:56) Launching 'Our Turn' and Future Aspirations Learn more about your ad choices.
