Kathy Button Bell – Purpose-Driven Leadership

Kathy is the Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at Emerson

In this episode Lauren and Kathy discuss:

• Tips to help women advance in the workplace
• Strategies to demonstrate your worth and help others see the work that you do
• Personal branding

Key takeaways:

• Create an ecosystem for yourself in the business environment to maintain focus on what is important
• Recover quicky – whether from a mistake or failure – as the faster you recover the faster you can make good decisions again
• Master self-promotion with a soft hand
• Be steady under pressure to ensure others respect the way that you are behaving during difficult situations
• Make your aspirations known and don’t be afraid to pursue jobs you might not be perfectly qualified for
• Use “eye candy” to show the impact of your work, such as research, advertisements, related articles, etc.
• You can call yourself out on mistakes to remedy a situation and make it right
• To drive your personal brand – make yourself interesting; read things you wouldn’t normally read; diversify your friendship circle and those you surround yourself with at work

“Always sit at the table – as soon as you have permission to be there . . . be there.”
