The Learning Culture Podcast Andrew Barry

Decisions that impact your success are often made without you. Having a personal brand means owning the narrative of what others say about you when you're not around.
This week's Learning Nugget comes from a conversation about owning and honing personal brands with Andrea Wojnicki.
Andrea is a communication coach, Consumer Psychology expert, and self-proclaimed obsessive over understanding "why you said what you just said."
This obsession has driven her career. She worked in marketing at Kraft Foods before earning a Doctorate of Business Administration in Marketing at Harvard Business School (her dissertation was on word-of-mouth!).
Fueled by deliberate practice and her insatiable desire to understand, Andrea created Talk about Talk, a learning platform to help executives boost their confidence and improve their communication skills.
Whether you run your own business or play a vital role on a team, it's important to be in control of your narrative.
Please sit back, relax, and enjoy my episode with Andrea Wojnicki.

Drumroll please 🥁🥁🥁 Welcome to the final episode of Season 1!
I’m joined by none other than Amy Volas to put the cherry on top — in a very special way.
Amy is the founder of Avenue Talent Partners, a business that helps early-stage SaaS startups hire executive sales and CS leaders. She’s an incredible follow on LinkedIn and a dear friend of mine.
Amy also tells it like it is. Unprompted, this episode evolved into a hot-seat… for me.
It’s a vulnerable and constructive conversation about positioning, clarity, and the idea that what you know doesn’t earn trust; how you show up does.
Together, Amy and I Windex-ed the window through which I’ve been looking at my company. You’ll have to tune in to learn more about that reference!
Without further ado, sit back, relax, and enjoy this last episode of Season 1 with Amy Volas!
[P.S. The long-time listeners among us will have realized this podcast season has been 74 episodes long! We’ll move into an exciting and more singularly focused season two after a short break.]
