S2E1 - What Does Culture Fit Really Mean? A Conversation with Elyse Kane Culture Unfit

In this first episode of Season 2 of Culture Unfit, Nikkia speaks with Elyse Kane, her  first Colgate manager, mentor and forever friend. Elyse played an outsized role in Nikkia's leadership trajectory by selflessly nurturing her natural talents because Elyse saw a potential in her that she could not yet see in herself. Elyse's advocacy for the brilliant underdogs, or as Nikkia likes to call us, the ‘beautiful misfits,’ infected her early on and She has been trying her best to pay it forward ever since. Sometimes she fails in that pursuit, but she never stops trying.

Elyse Kane is the former VP for Consumer Insights and Analytics for North America at Colgate-Palmolive.  Currently, she is an Adjunct Professor teaching graduate level Consumer Behavior classes at Baruch College in New York City and the owner of Elyse Kane Consulting, LLC, specializing in brand strategy, brand positioning, advertising development and training across a variety of marketing areas.
