    2025 I What Will Stay The Same & What Will Change I Loren Greiff

    As a kid New Year’s Eve guaranteed staying up past midnight As a 60 year old woman I guarantee I’ll be in bed before 10PM   Some things stay the same Others don’t.   This week I’m flying solo to cover both.    What Will Stay The Same Human Nature: Opportunity attracts the bold, before it attracts the crowd. Risk is what you don’t see (or hear): Preparation beats prediction. Overnight tragedies and long-term miracles:  Smart career decisions look boring in real time. The best story wins: Numbers inform, stories transform. Know which to use when.  It’s supposed to be hard: Success demands its price upfront.   What Will Change?   2025 is a HUGE year, not because it’s a new year:  AI adoption to full adaption: 2024’s No.1 interview question “Tell me how you use AI in your job” 5 C’s of the relationship economy: Humanity Superpowers with skills AI will never replace Upskilling and reskilling: The difference between Netflix and Blockbuster Employee Value Proposition (EVP): From static posters to dynamic systems. Hybrid + Multi Gen. Leadership: Make your presence felt by pixel and in person to work together across 5 generations   The Bottom Line Preparation beats prediction.   Follow me, Loren Greiff on LinkedIn   Every 40+ executive I work with has a moment when they realize:  Their richest opportunities still lie ahead.   I help experienced leaders turn decades of insight  into their next powerful chapter. Let's shape what comes next.

    Scaling Without Selling Out A $25 Million Story I Sharon Gillenwater

    What if Success Didn't Require Selling Out?   What if the conventional startup playbook is wrong?   Sharon Gillenwater sold her tech company in 2022 for $25M.    But that's not the interesting part.  The interesting part is how she did it.    By ignoring almost everything Silicon Valley says you "must" do to succeed.   Whether you're dreaming of starting your own venture, stuck in a soul-crushing corporate job, or simply tired of feeling like success requires compromise,  Sharon's story offers a powerful alternative.  She candidly shares how she overcame imposter syndrome, bootstrapped a successful company, and maintained her integrity while building serious wealth.   Find out:  Why Being an Outsider is an Asset?  When everyone in your industry sees the world the same way,  What happens when someone like you shows up with fresh eyes?    Sharon did, and she spotted an opportunity hiding in plain sight.   How Fear Is  Driving Your Decisions?  Sharon developed a simple test: "If my bank account had an extra $100K,  Would I make the same choice?"    What changes when you remove scarcity from your decision-making?   What If Your Critics Are Scared For You?Here's the thing about naysayers, especially family:  Their doubt often comes from love.  What shifts for you when you see it from that perspective?  The Point Is: The market is hungry for people and businesses that make things better. Not just better products, but better ways of working, better ways of treating people, better ways of measuring success.   Sharon's story isn't about being nice or being profitable.    It's about being both.  And maybe that's the revolution you've been waiting for.   Her new book, "Scaling with Soul," isn't just a memoir.  It's an invitation to rethink what's possible for you in your career.   Are you ready to accept?   Grab a copy of Sharon’s book: Scaling with a Soul  Sharon’s  Website Connect with her on LinkedIn   Follow me, Loren Greiff on LinkedIn Book a call with me

    Old Dogs, Better Tricks I Phil VanDusen

    You spent 20 years building other people's brands.  Then that piece of your identity was gone.     Now what?   Fact #1: Your impressive title or years there, was never your brand.    Which then prompts you to ask these questions:    > Why, if I never needed a personal brand before, do I need one now?    > Why do some folks also on the market thrive and land interviews and I hear crickets?   > What's the real reason why my impressive network isn’t helping me generate opportunities?  (Hint: It's not dead, just dormant)   > How can I make my age work for me as my competitive advantage?    It’s all right here (and more)   Spoiler alert: In today's market, your personal brand is essential, not a fluffy nice to have.    That’s why Former PepsiCo VP of Design and Old Navy creative leader  Phil VanDusen is our guest.    Today Phil helps industry veterans reinvent their relevance through his community, Bonfire.

    What's In A Name? I Everything You're Ignoring Over The Holidays

    Your name isn't complicated. Our laziness is.   Reality check:   → 74% of workers struggle with pronunciations → 44% face it in interviews → 41% endure it in client meetings   Let me break this down   → L.O.R.E.N. (Not Lauren, not Laryn) → G.R.E.I.F.F. (Gryfe rhymes with life) → Michelle? No problem. Funny how that works.   Here's what we're really talking about:   → When you mangle someone's name, → You're not just fumbling syllables. → You're choosing convenience over respect.   The fix isn't complicated:   → Ask once → Practice twice → Get it right   The math: > 10 seconds to learn = years of respect > 0 seconds to butcher = instant credibility loss   Isn't that worth the extra moment? → Because in our rush to digitize everything, → Speaking someone's name with care might be → The most human thing we have left.

    Trust or Bust: The Currency of Modern Leadership I Shane Hatton

    Trust isn't built overnight.  It's built one small action at a time.  But you can't control whether people trust you.    You can only control your actions, your follow-through,  and your willingness to take responsibility.   This week our guest is LinkedIn Top Voice Shane Hatton,  Best-selling author of two books:   > "Lead The Room – Communicate a Message That Counts in Moments That Matter" and  > "Let's Talk Culture – The Conversations You Need to Create the Team You Want."    And host of the podcast of "Phone Calls With Clever People," exploring leadership topics through conversations with thought leaders.   We go deep into trust or bust:  Find out:   How The Trust Bank Works > Trust operates like a bank account - deposits and withdrawals > Withdrawals cost more than deposits (about 10x more) > So do you earn it when only 25% of leaders give trust upfront?   What’s In The Trust-Building Toolbox > What actually builds trust? (It’s Not what you'd expect)  >It’s more than just leading by example   What About Digital Trust?  > Your trust journey starts long before you meet someone: > What’s the first layer?   > The second  and the third?    What  Happens When Trust Breaks?  > The secret = Context matters. > This is where it gets juicy! The Generational Trust Gap > We all carry an invisible rulebook of expectations: > The key: Make the unspoken spoken   The Bottom Line > What ISN”T communicated is felt.  > What's felt is interpreted.  > What's interpreted is often inaccurate.   Follow Shane:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/shanemhatton/   Get his books here: Let’s Talk Culture  Lead the Room
