Forget networking. That strategy expired the moment the market shifted from connections to convergence. Today, decision makers aren't choosing the most qualified candidate — they're choosing the most inevitable one. And inevitability is a signal, not a résumé. The real question isn't “Are you ready?” It's: Does the market know you are? Cost of being invisible: at least one missed opportunity per quarter — and in this climate, that's a minimum of $50K–$80K you don't get back. In this solo episode, Loren breaks down the shift every executive needs to understand: You're not being evaluated on your history. You're being judged on your momentum.   Inside this episode: Why inevitability beats qualifications — every time How momentum replaced visibility as the new credibility The hot signals decision makers are scanning for daily The cold signals silently taking candidates out of consideration Why “safe” is now the riskiest career strategy How to build proof-in-motion that travels faster than your résumé   A real client before/after: From a dormant profile, years of silence, and zero digital momentum… → To publishing insights that demonstrated her thinking → To active collaboration, visible learning, and relevance in motion → To being perceived as the inevitable hire long before interviews even began The market no longer hires potential. It hires patterns. And patterns don't lie. If you want to get picked, you must become legible.   Timestamps (0:00) — Intro (0:56) — The outdated belief keeping executives stuck (1:44) — Why résumés no longer speak for you (2:32) — Visibility is no longer a differentiator (3:48) — What decision makers are actually evaluating (5:36) — How hiring teams decode your signals (6:47) — The new hot signals of inevitability (7:40) — The cold signals that silently kill momentum (8:16) — Why “safe” is the new risky (9:03) — Why your next opportunity is searching for your signal, not your résumé   Mic-Drop Close Your next opportunity isn't looking for your résumé.

Can introverts actually be better at networking than extroverts? In this episode, we're joined by Steve Spiro, a self-described introvert who became a Master Connector by doing the opposite of what most sales advice teaches.

Welcome to Resourceful Designer! I'm Mark Des Cotes, and in today's episode, I'm diving into something that hits home for so many of us: networking as an introverted designer. Did you know that over 85% of designers are introverts? Yet, building a thriving design business still relies heavily on forging professional relationships, which can feel like a real challenge when you recharge by spending time alone. I'll share my own journey from dreading networking events to actually enjoying them, and I'll bust the myth that being introverted means being shy or antisocial. Instead, I'll show you how introverts' natural tendencies, like deep listening, genuine relationship building, and thoughtful follow-ups, can actually be superpowers when it comes to networking. Stick around as I walk you through my step-by-step strategies for attending events, making the most of online communities, and managing your energy, all while staying true to yourself. Whether you're gearing up for a conference or just want to build better connections online, I've got practical tips to help you grow your business, without the awkward small talk or forced self-promotion. Let's tap into your strengths and turn networking into a rewarding, authentic experience!

What's the best size for a networking group? Answer: It depends. That said, there are considerations as too small doesn't work, and neither does too large. There is an optimal size for the pack.

A CMO Confidential Interview with Kip Knight, founder of CMO Coaches, former CMO of Taco Bell and H&R Block USPresident. Kip lays out the case for marketers to build their brands based on trust, authenticity and personal core principles along with an objective understanding of "what you are really famous for being able to accomplish." Key topics include: why executive presence matters; the combination of emotional IQ and curiosity; the need for resume "proof points;" and why role models matter. Tune in to hear networking tips, why you want to know what "they say about you when you aren't in the room" and the power of a handwritten thank you note. Kip Knight (Founder, CMO Coaches; former Taco Bell CMO & H&R Block US Retail President) joins Mike Linton to get practical about building a durable *personal brand* as a marketing leader. We cover a three-step framework (self-assessment - positioning - activation), executive presence (IQ + EQ + CQ), how to lead with truth during tough calls, and why handwritten notes still matter. Sponsored by Typeface — the agentic AI marketing platform that turns one idea into thousands of on-brand assets. Learn more: typeface.ai/cmo.**Key points**• Personal brands aren't accidental: in today's AI-accelerated market, being findable and consistent is table stakes for senior roles. • The framework: start with a rigorous self-assessment (360s, reviews, assessments), then define positioning around your true superpowers, and finally activate with proof points. • Be objective: ambition without a strategy and measurable evidence sets you up to fail; build real proof points before you sell your story. • Executive presence = IQ + EQ + CQ (curiosity). Lean into new tech (e.g., GenAI) and stay relentlessly curious. • Truth is better than spin in crises: define reality, be transparent, and your team will follow you through hard decisions (e.g., headcount cuts). • Culture is the stories told when you're not in the room; leaders are “always on,” so model consistency and principle-led behavior. • CMOs as business integrators: convene IT, Legal, Finance, HR, and the CEO to make the right GenAI bets with clear success criteria. • Power move: send handwritten notes on high-quality stationery; the impact far exceeds email. **Chapters**00:00 Welcome + sponsor: Typeface — why brand still wins in the age of AI 03:00 Why your personal brand matters more than ever 06:00 Being findable & consistent in an AI world 07:00 The 3-part framework: self-assessment - positioning - activation 10:00 Doing an honest self-assessment (360s, reviews, Working Genius) 14:00 Turning strengths into positioning; knowing your kryptonite 16:00 Executive presence: IQ, EQ, and CQ (curiosity quotient) 20:00 Truth-telling vs. vulnerability during layoffs and tough calls 23:00 Role models, “always on” leadership, and culture as stories 29:00 CMOs as business integrators on GenAI — how to run the process 32:00 Networking that works: “How can I help you?”, warm intros, no ghosting 34:00 Elite habit: handwritten notes on great stationery (why it lands) 36:00 Wrap + where to find more CMO Confidential TagsCMO,marketing leadership,personal brand,executive presence,brand strategy,career development,marketing careers,AI in marketing,agentic AI,Typeface,leadership,coaching,CMO Coaches,Kip Knight,Mike Linton,GenAI,networking,culture,trust,authenticity,handwritten notes,frameworks,positioning,activation,EQ,CQ,P&L,growth,enterprise marketing,YouTube podcastSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
