Hosts Gianna Whitver and Maria Velasquez sit down with guest Amy Fair to discuss being laid off and how to navigate it in stride. Gianna and Maria ask Amy about her own experiences being laid off as they approach the rarely-discussed but important topic. Amy dives into what it means to be laid off in the cybersecurity content marketing industry and how she has turned layoffs into new opportunities within weeks. In their conversation, Maria, Gianna, and Amy highlight the importance of networking and community and how it is vital to maintain lasting relationships in the content marketing industry. Amy shares how, at the end of the day, these connections can lead to amazing opportunities.  We're joined this week by Amy Fair, Content Marketing Manager at SpyCloud,    Timecoded Guide: [8:50] The value of building a network and maintaining a community [17:29] Using Slack in job hunting and making connections [23:21] The value of mentors and keeping people in your corner [25:48] Advice for those anticipating a layoff How can you prepare to be laid off? Amy opens up with stories about getting laid off and how she was able to quickly land new jobs. Sometimes layoffs are expected and sometimes they can be a shock. Amy shares how she used the community around her in both scenarios to turn the layoffs into success. There's a lot of stigma surrounding the topic of being laid off and Amy offers a dose of optimism to those who come to her for help. She seeks to take away the stigma as she mentions that the attitude towards layoffs has changed over the years. They are even expected in many industries now. Amy highlights how her experiences have taught her that, in content marketing, it's not only about ‘making connections' but nurturing relationships that make the most impact along the way. “I also want to kind of remove the stigma that comes with it . . . I think it might even be more rare for people to not have been laid off in their career, then, you know, for those who have experienced that. But I don't think it's a shameful thing.” How “your network is your net worth” and why a strong personal brand matters Amy shares how vital it is to open up outwardly into circles to build lasting relationships with people who will have your back. Having a strong standing in the content marketing industry starts from the beginning: personal brand. Amy shares how those in the content marketing industry can apply their expertise to themselves if they want to build a solid personal brand. She also highlights how building a personal brand can save someone from a lengthy job hunt after being laid off. Having a resume counts but a personal brand extends to networking and recognition. Doing this is vital in the cybersecurity marketing industry as Amy shares how it's a field where layoffs are widespread. “We make our brands look good, we make our products look good, we make our customers look good. We can take all those skills that we have making everybody else look good. And we can make ourselves look pretty damn good. . . it doesn't have to be when you lose your job, you can do that all day every day.” Slack, newsletters, and job boards: why community counts Amy, Gianna, and Maria dive into their experiences in how something like Slack can lead to lasting connections and to rekindling valuable relationships with people. Amy shares a story on how she stumbled upon an old coworker on Slack while Maria and Gianna share how they have found a lot of success in finding job candidates by using newsletters, job boards, and meeting people through their Slack channel. Maria emphasizes how, through community and reaching out to others, a boss can get to know someone before their resume shows up on a pile. People make lasting impressions through these connections. The hosts also discuss how building these connections throughout the interview process is valuable regardless of whether someone gets the job. “Even if you feel like maybe you're new in your career, and you don't really have a network, if you have a mentor who can connect you with so and so for XYZ, like that is huge tap into that resource. That is something that can make a huge impact on your own network.” Advice for those anticipating a layoff In cybersecurity content marketing, people need others to lean on in every step of the way. The business can get competitive, leading to unexpected job turns and layoffs. One thing that can stay constant, though, is maintaining steady and solid connections with people in the industry. Amy talks about how someone can have a network of dozens but it's the three or four people who they have kept in touch with and have built relationships with that matter the most. She adds how it's a two-way street and that these interactions aren't transactional but they're reciprocal: like friends, the people in someone's corner should be willing to give just as much as they're willing to take. Making connections is similar to lead generation. To find success after getting laid off, Amy says that those in content marketing need to nurture their relationships all the way through the funnel just like marketing business leads.  “You need to nurture your relationships, like we do that as marketers, with our leads, we nurture them all the way through the funnel: you need to nurture your relationships all the way through your career and beyond. I think that's so important. Because they might need to lean on you too.”   ---------- Definitions: Funnel: Top-funnel/mid-funnel: Levels of an audience to a brand or company and their awareness of the products or services—top funnel being those not yet aware of the company and the mid-funnel being those who have shown interest and might engage with the company. Marketers ‘move through the funnel' to build an audience for their brand.   Links: Get tickets for our upcoming CyberMarketingCon2022.  Spend some time with our guest Amy Fair on LinkedIn and Twitter.

Show Notes: [0:00:49] Intro | Timely Topics We're all surrounded by uncertainty in these trying times.  Dealing with uncertainty in your business & your life How we respond to universal uncertainty is unique to each of us.  [0:05:25] Identifying Uncertainty in Your Business  We wrongfully attribute uncertainty to risk.  We often lack the information to reasonably define uncertainty as risk. Using Slack as an example. Certain people are excited by uncertanty. It's very important to be able to react to the unknown things that pop up.  You can address some uncertainty simply by not being too certain of your plans.  Keep an eye and ear attuned to your marketplace.  [0:13:50] Everyone Handles Uncertainty Differently, and That's Okay Uncertainty may entice, excite, and compel some to action.  Some of the best things can come from uncertainty and learning to act in the face of it.  [0:15:35] Leadership is Not the Absence of Uncertainty There are 3 Responses to Uncertainty: Denial Overconfidence Or Analysis Paralysis Huge Companies Have Crumbled Being Unready for Unknown-Unknowns [0:17:30] If you don't have any uncertainty...you may have larger problems. The further you move from this moment, the greater the uncertainty. The pandemic proved we were all a little too certain. Knowing your values forms an archor point to combat uncertainty. Your response to uncertanty will uncover things about you and your company culture. [0:26:35] Parting Words Remember, if you've identified it, then it's a risk, not an uncertanty. When planning and identifying uncertanty, opportunity often presents itself. If we're somewhat aware and prepared, we're then able to pivet more readily, and shift into the next thing we're supposed to become. It's not easy to accomplish, but it's worth the investment.

You no longer can have food services, coffee services, water service, whatever. ... We used to have snacks everywhere and food and beer on tap. ...This was about having fun at work and bringing out the child in us a little bit and not just being always adult time. That has kind of gone to waste. It's sad. And I don't know how long we'll be here like that. But at some point, this will return to normal and we'll get back to that old way." Cloudbeds is a Purpose-Driven Company — "It's making making people feel engaged. They have a purpose. And we've tried to create a workplace where when they get up in the morning to have a purpose to come to work, they feel like they're changing travel. They're changing the world. They're doing something for people that love to travel and hotels and hosts all over the world." Living in Remote Work Culture — "We have a rule if not everyone is in the same physical room, you can't have someone call in remote and put them on on a TV screen. Everyone has to be in the room or everyone has to be on Zoom remote. ... we're building a remote culture. So the office culture is a secondary culture to the remote culture which comes first." Managing a Global Workforce — "Cloudbeds, it's the embodiment of globalization. I mean, we really are. This was before COVID in 2012. I was in Brazil. Adam was in the U.S. We had to learn to be in an office. It wasn't natural for us. Even before Cloudbeds we didn't have an office. We worked together for years. I think it's taking that to the next level." Using Slack for Restaurants — "For me, Slack is just an asynchronous communication hub. It gives you the ability to share information. It gives people the ability to get real-time help. It allows you to connect docs. It allows you to connect video. Whatever it is, it's just a hub.

What does it look like to create a work environment where employees can succeed and thrive? Are there steps you can take as a leader to encourage and support your team members in a meaningful way? Here to help us understand what makes Asana a, “Top 5 Best Place to Work” is my guest, Scott Carleton. Scott is currently the Site Lead of Asana’s NYC office, dedicated to enabling all teams to collaborate effortlessly. Previously, Scott was the VP of Technology at Andela, empowering engineering talent across Africa. Scott co-founded Artsicle as CTO, building a global community of visual artists now featuring over 6000 creators in 100 countries. His work on Artsicle's discovery engine, which was able to create a personalized experience for passive users, earned NYER's "Best Use of Technology" award in 2013. Scott also built the first internal engineering team at Teachers Pay Teachers from 0 to 12, while integrating a high functioning remote team. In our conversation, Scott talks about his journey to management, lessons he has learned along the way, the value of transparency, why an empowering work environment is so important and much more. You’ll need pen and paper for this one - Scott has a ton of helpful insights to share. Outline of This Episode [0:40] I welcome my guest, Scott Carleton. [2:00] Scott talks about his background. [4:30] How did Scott get started on the management track? [6:25] Scott reflects on early mistakes he made as a manager. [9:00] The value of transparency. [10:40] Tips for new managers. [13:30] What does Scott’s day-to-day role look like as a Site Lead for Asana? [17:30] Navigating company culture in a distributed environment. [22:30] What makes Asana a Top 5 Best Place to Work? [27:00] Empowering employees and providing growth opportunities. [31:00] What does it take to be a top-notch engineering manager? [34:00] Using Slack the most effective way possible. [37:00] How to set your team up for success in your absence. [40:45] Book recommendations from Scott. The value of transparency Throughout your career, are there any values or principles that stand out to you as “Must-haves” to create an empowering work environment? Maybe for you, it’s integrity or competency. For Scott Carleton and the folks at Asana, one of the top values is transparency. Transparency is crucial, especially for a distributed company like Asana. Scott says that the value of transparency is constantly top-of-mind for him as he engages with his team and works to build consistency and collaboration at Asana. Hand-in-hand with transparency is Scott’s goal to make as much of their processes and systems as clear and understandable as possible. While this is no easy task, Scott is proud of the ground they’ve been able to cover thus far. How to empower your team members Any good manager worth their salt focuses not only on their team members’ productivity but also looks for ways to encourage and empower them as individuals. Can you think of a manager who has empowered you at critical moments in your career? What did they do that made their efforts stand out? From his time at Andela, Scott learned the value of providing his team members with applicable growth opportunities - not just any growth opportunity but - applicable ones. The difference here is key - while it might be a good experience for someone on your team to level up on JavaScript - if it doesn’t apply to the work they are currently engaged in it’s not really that helpful. How do you empower your team members? What growth opportunities do you provide them? Creating a healthy work environment At some point in their career - just about everyone encounters a dysfunctional and unhealthy work environment. How can leaders like you ensure that the environment you are building is a healthy and empowering one? One of the primary reasons Scott joined Asana is their relentless commitment to organizational health. They’ve created clear and concise pathways that encourage their managers and team members to reflect on and learn from projects that were successful and unsuccessful. It is of paramount importance to Asana as an organization that everyone understands how their tasks directly contribute to the overall mission of the company. To hear more about how this plays out at Asana - from Scott’s perspective - make sure to listen to this episode of Simple Leadership. What it takes to be an effective manager Let’s face it; life as a manager is not for the faint of heart. Yes, you get a lot of great opportunities to influence your team and make great strides for your organization, but there is also a fair share of challenges and obstacles that come with the territory. How do you navigate those challenges and serve as an effective manager? According to Scott Carleton, if you want to succeed as a manager, you’ve got to be willing to give your people honest feedback that helps them improve. We’ve all been in those one-on-one’s where the feedback you received was not helpful or constructive - don’t make that same mistake! Scott also points to the value of knowing your limitations and a willingness to be vulnerable as key aspects of an effective manager. Ask for help and be open about the challenges you are facing - what do you have to lose? Remember - this is only a snapshot of my conversation with Scott - make sure to listen to this episode of Simple Leadership to get the FULL conversation.

If you want to share documents and not clog up your email, use Slack. Slack channels are another great communication tool for teams prepping for an event. Slack is a great way to keep in touch with out of state coworkers.
