Podcasts about reposition

In fast-moving B2B markets, positioning rarely stays fixed for long. As technology, buyer expectations, and competitive dynamics shift, companies have to keep refining how they communicate their value. But repositioning too often, or too abruptly, can confuse customers, slow sales momentum, and weaken trust.  In this episode, Caitlin Allen, SVP of Market & Strategic Advisory Board Chair at Simbe Robotics, unpacks what it actually takes to reposition a company multiple times while continuing to scale. Caitlin shares lessons from leading Simbe Robotics through several major shifts, from robotics to shelf digitization to the broader category of store intelligence, all while navigating long enterprise sales cycles, evolving market expectations, and increasing competitive pressure. Caitlin explains how to recognize when messaging has stopped creating meaningful differentiation and breaks down the practical work behind positioning changes, including how SaaS companies can approach AI messaging without defaulting to generic claims that fail to set them apart. Key Takeaways: How customer signals reveal when positioning has stopped differentiating Why gradual messaging shifts protect trust better than hard resets How unclear AI positioning can weaken differentiation Timestamps: (00:00) Introduction (03:58) The retail problem Simbe Robotics was built to solve (07:01) Why Simbe Robotics has repositioned three separate times (08:55) Creating FOMO without creating fear (09:58) Building credibility through third-party validation (11:58) Moving beyond robotics into store intelligence (13:59) The signals that tell you it's time to reposition (15:57) Repositioning without disrupting active deals (17:56) Protecting brand equity while evolving the narrative (19:56) Aligning sales teams around new positioning (24:02) Why repositioning works better through "breadcrumbing" (26:58) The next shift toward store intelligence (29:00) Why most rebranding announcements miss the point (30:59) The risk of chasing AI positioning trends Check out the ebook " Trust Issues: How SaaS and AI-Native Brands Can Beat AI Credibility Fatigue" by PANBlast: https://www.panblastpr.com/resources/trust-issues-ai-credibility-ebook/

You've felt it. That nagging sense that your brand isn't working — that something needs to change. And your brain immediately jumps to the most visible fix: a rebrand. New logo. New colors. Fresh start.   But what if a rebrand is the wrong answer?   In this episode, Kimberly Gayle breaks down the critical difference between rebranding, repositioning, and the foundational brand work that most women entrepreneurs have never actually done — and shows you how to diagnose which situation you're actually in before you spend a dime.   In this episode, you'll learn: •       The real definition of rebranding vs. repositioning — and why they require completely different solutions •       Why chasing a new visual identity without a solid foundation is just expensive confusion (and what it actually costs) •       Kimberly's own repositioning story: from ABVGirl and craft beer influencer to personal branding strategist and founder of Bold Emergence Branding •       Two real-time client examples that illustrate each scenario •       A three-question diagnostic to help you identify exactly where you are •       The weekly challenge: a 30-minute brand audit that could save you thousands   Want to hop on a call to discuss building your personal brand?

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Ri‑Karlo Handy. Interview Overview Guest: Ri‑Karlo HandyHost: Rushion McDonaldPodcast: Money Making Conversations MasterclassPrimary Focus: Handy’s role as showrunner/executive producer of Harlem Globetrotters: Secrets of the City His media career spanning 25+ years Representation, legacy, trust, and mentorship in the entertainment industry The mission and impact of the Handy Foundation Purpose of the Interview The interview serves multiple purposes: Promote Harlem Globetrotters: Secrets of the City on aspireTV+ by explaining what makes the series unique within the travel and lifestyle genre. Reposition the Harlem Globetrotters as a cultural, historical, and global brand beyond basketball—especially significant during their 100‑year legacy. Highlight pathways into the entertainment industry, particularly for Black creatives, through mentorship, trust-building, and skills-based training. Showcase Handy’s philosophy on leadership and opportunity, emphasizing responsibility, legacy, and access. Key Themes & Takeaways 1. Redefining the Travel Show Format Secrets of the City goes beyond sightseeing. The show explores how Black people live, connect, and thrive globally, especially through expat communities and diaspora culture. Episodes emphasize how to move through a city, not just visit it—using insider access, cultural context, and lived experience. Takeaway: Travel content is more powerful when rooted in identity, history, and authenticity. 2. Harlem Globetrotters as Cultural Ambassadors Handy frames the Globetrotters as “ambassadors of goodwill”, not just entertainers. They represent joy, diplomacy, and cultural exchange—appearing everywhere from the Vatican to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization. The show captures their off‑court personalities, maturity, and global influence. Takeaway: The Harlem Globetrotters are a living Black institution with worldwide reach, relevance, and responsibility. 3. Sustaining a 100‑Year Black Brand The Globetrotters predate the NBA and helped globalize basketball. After fading from TV prominence in the 1990s–2000s, a post‑pandemic strategy brought them back into media. Handy sees longevity itself as a lesson—few businesses, especially Black‑owned legacies, endure a century. Takeaway: Longevity comes from reinvention, relevance, and honoring history while adapting to the present. 4. Mastery, Discipline, and Authentic Skill Globetrotter performances are not “fake” or staged. Players must actually make the shots and execute at elite athletic levels. Handy compares their mindset to elite athletes like Steph Curry—hours of practice for moments of excellence. Takeaway: Entertainment still demands real mastery; excellence behind the scenes creates effortless magic on screen. 5. Trust as the Real Currency of Business Handy repeatedly emphasizes trust over talent as the foundation of his career. His progression—from editor to producer to network executive—came from delivering consistently on promises. Relationships, reliability, and integrity enabled him to control projects and earn leadership roles. Takeaway: Skills open doors, but trust keeps them open. 6. Mentorship and the Handy Foundation Handy formalized his long-standing mentorship work into the Handy Foundation (founded 2020). The foundation focuses on post‑production training, an area with limited Black representation. Started with 8 trainees; now has 400+ alumni working on major films and TV shows. The program is now a nationally recognized registered apprenticeship with the California Film Commission. Takeaway: Access—not just ambition—is the missing link for many aspiring creatives. Notable Quotes “Our business is less about skills and creativity and more about trust.” “A lot of times the first opportunity is the hardest one to get.” “They’re not pretending to make the basketball. You’ve actually got to make the shot.” “There aren’t a lot of Black folks in post‑production because they don’t get the opportunity to learn those skills.” “How many Black businesses can we say are 100 years old?” “They are ambassadors of goodwill. You’ve got to be a good person to be a Globetrotter.” #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

https://jo.my/m7nlmyBuilding Hand Safety AwarenessHand safety sounds simple until you see how fast it can go wrong. One quick reach into a rack. One loose glove near a moving part. One pinched finger between a pallet and a guard rail. Cuts, pinches, and caught-in hazards are some of the most common hand injury risks in a facility. They also tend to happen during “normal” work. That's the tricky part.The goal this week is awareness you can feel. You should be able to spot a hand hazard the same way you spot a spill. Fast. Automatic. If you've ever finished a shift with sore knuckles or a small slice you ignored, that's your warning sign. Small injuries are often the precursor.Here are a few tips to assist you with hand safety and reduce cuts, pinches, and caught-in hazards:Build quick hand safety talks into the start of shifts. Keep it short. Two minutes. Pick one task for the day and ask, “Where could hands get hurt here?” Then name the control. Guarding, tool use, spacing, or gloves.Get workers involved in hazard spotting. The people doing the job see the risks first. Ask for one caught-in hazard per area each week. Think conveyors, dock plates, pallet jacks, shrink wrap, and racking. Write it down. Fix it. Report back.Use real stories to make it real. Share a short incident or near-miss from your facility or industry. What was the task? Where were the hands? What should've happened instead? People remember stories more than rules.Make personal accountability non-negotiable. Keep hands out of pinch points. Use push sticks, hooks, or tools instead of fingers. If you can't see your hands, stop. Reposition. Don't “feel around” near moving parts.Recognize safe hand habits out loud. Call out the person who paused to lock out the equipment. Or the team that added a spacer on a load. Public recognition builds the kind of culture that sticks.As always, these are potential tips. Please be sure to follow the rules and regulations of your specific facility.Keep your hands in the safe zone.Hand safety is a daily choice, not a poster on the wall. Look for tight gaps. Listen for movement. Feel the vibration in the equipment. Those are signals. Slow down before the risky moment, not after it.If you see a cut hazard, fix the edge or cover it. If you see a pinch point, create space or change the path. If you see a caught-in risk, stop the motion and control the energy. Simple thinking. Strong habits.Thank you for being part of another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips.Until we meet next time - have a great week, and STAY SAFE!#Safety #SafetyCulture #StaySafe #SafetyFirst #SafetyTips #StayAlert #HandSafety #CaughtInHazards #PinchPointSafety #CutPrevention #NearMissReporting #PPE #SafetyAwareness

Send us a textWhen people at work describe you as "the reliable one" or "the person who gets things done," those labels sound like compliments. But if those same descriptions are keeping you from getting promoted, you've been typecast. In this episode, Kele Belton reveals the R.E.F.R.A.M.E. Method, a strategic seven-step process for resetting your professional reputation and repositioning yourself when decision-makers have put you in a box that's too small for where you're headed. You'll learn how to break out of the mental category people have created for you and start being recognized for your full leadership potential.What This Episode Is AboutYou've been exceeding expectations for years, but when leadership roles open up, your name isn't on the list. When strategic projects are assigned, you get the execution work instead of the visioning work. And somehow, you're never part of the "high potential" conversation. In this powerful episode, Kele breaks down why this happens (you've been typecast based on what you do repeatedly) and walks you through the exact strategic process for dismantling the old perception while building a new one. You'll hear the story of a client who transformed from "detail-oriented implementer" to "strategic problem solver" in just one month, and how that shift opened doors to leadership roles she'd been overlooked for.What You'll LearnHow to identify the specific label or box people have unconsciously assigned you at work (and why recognizing this pattern is the first step to breaking free).The R.E.F.R.A.M.E. Method: A complete seven-step framework for strategically repositioning your professional brand when you've been typecast.How to establish your new professional vision by defining the 3-5 specific qualities and capabilities that position you for the role you want next.Strategic opportunity selection: How to say yes to different work (not more work) that showcases your new identity in visible ways.How to amplify your new professional identity through consistent, visible actions that create an undeniable pattern.Why enlisting strategic allies is the most powerful (and most overlooked) step in repositioning yourself, and exactly how to approach these conversations.Mentioned In This EpisodeIgnite Your Leadership Power Accelerator: A 12-week group coaching program for women in middle management ready to step into senior leadership.

This week on the podcast, I'm revisiting the best episodes of 2025 - reruns that are just as relevant today as when it first aired.  Here is today's best of 2025 episode…

#309 Product Positioning | This episode is from a Drive 2025 (our annual Exit Five event) session with April Dunford (Founder, Ambient Strategy). April pulls from working with 300+ tech companies to unpack the real patterns behind winning positioning from calling out competitors' nonsense to teaching buyers what actually matters, avoiding category-creation traps, and fixing the sales messes that weak positioning creates. It's sharp, funny, brutally honest, and basically a crash course in how to make your product unmistakably different in a market full of noise.PS.

Are you in your late 40s or beyond?If so, you have decades of valuable experience, a powerful network, and a laundry list of success metrics. But lately, you may be feeling stuck in your career. * You're no longer moving up. * You're watching your younger colleagues get promoted. * Recruiters ghost you more often now. * Job interviews stall out even when you think you interviewed well. You're too experienced for entry-level or mid-level roles. And when you aim for more senior leadership or executive roles, you discover they want someone with 25 years of experience who's only 35 years old. Heaven help you if you get laid off now. It's not a pretty job market for anyone, especially an older worker. “People laid off at higher ages are less likely to move into a new field than those who quit, said Kevin Cahill, an economist at FTI Consulting. “Ageism and higher compensation expectations can be obstacles to re-employment, he said.” (source)* It takes nearly 26 weeks, on average, for people ages 55 to 64 to find a job, compared with 19 weeks for people ages 25 to 34, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.* Older career workers who find new jobs take an 11% pay cut, on average, according to a forthcoming study Cahill co-wrote.So, why not take an early retirement? Well, I bet you're not there yet. Financially, emotionally, or physically. The sad truth is that people who retire sooner die earlier. Believe me, you're not alone in feeling this way and facing this issue. This “messy middle” of our professional careers is real, and it's brutal.But it's also where your next move can be your most powerful. I know it doesn't feel like it right now, but reinventing yourself can lead to living the best years of your life. I'm living proof, and there are lots of us who have done it. It's been over 15 years since I fled my old corporate career to pivot into something new. I built my own businesses, started working out every day, and reinvested in my most important relationships. My sense of loss and depression shifted into joy and fulfillment. I've never been happier! The Messy Middle You're not imagining things, and it's not just you. The job market has shifted under your feet while the economy has been struggling, and political chaos ensues. * Good roles are becoming rarer, and expectations are higher.* Companies are cutting layers of middle and senior management.* They are also eliminating entry-level roles and leaning on fewer employees augmented with AI. * Ageism is real (especially in tech and startups), but hard to prove. * AI is quietly replacing parts of your job.* Younger, cheaper hires are more appealing than the cost of more experienced employees.You didn't do anything wrong. But the system isn't built for you anymore.“The tide has definitely turned against tech workers,” said Catherine Bracy, the founder and chief executive of TechEquity, a nonprofit that pushes for economic inclusion in the industry. “Companies have even more leverage to use against workers, and A.I. is supercharging that.” (source)Traditional Career Advice Fails You “Just update your LinkedIn and polish your resume! Start easy applying to hundreds of jobs every week.”Yeah… no. When you've had a long, complex career, playing the “cold-apply resume” game is a sure-fire way to lose. The hiring process is automated and biased. Most online applications are dead ends, and older workers are screwed. You need a new strategy for this new game.Your leverage is different nowAt this stage of your career, you have leverage that younger people don't. Stop being shy about using your advantages!* Relationships: The network you've built for decades is more powerful than you think.* Reputation: People know your name. They've seen your work. They already trust you.* Experience: You've led, built, scaled, failed, recovered, and learned. Your insights are rare and valuable.Three paths out of the messy middle1. Reposition and rebrand2. Redesign your role3. Find more purposeI go into more detail in the podcast audio, so scroll up, hit play, and listen. Real stories of reinvention * David Jesse - Executive Product Leader, advisor, coach, and founder of Crescendo Product Group * Ha Nguyen - Founder and Managing Partner at NextStep Advisors * Maureen Wiley Clough - Host of It Gets Late Early, a podcast and community of tech employees bringing awareness to ageismNone of them waited for someone to “give them a shot.” They stopped playing the game that was rigged against them. They created their next opportunity.You can too.What to do this monthHere's your 3-step personal challenge:* Rewrite one part of the “Story of You”What's the outdated identity or job title you're clinging to? Rewrite your LinkedIn headline and About section to reflect who you are now and who you want to become. * Reignite one dormant relationshipSomeone in your network already knows your value. Reach out, reconnect, and have a real conversation. I created a free CRM to help with this. * Map out your next move If you weren't looking for a job, what kind of business might you build?
