Building Brand You

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS "More" does not mean "better": Experiences that allow you to demonstrate relevance matter far more to employers than a 'laundry list of qualifications'. "Llily padding" or gigging provide opportunities to curate different skills, qualities and capabilities in a range of different environments, industries and sectors. Real learning and habit building happens in the doing - stepping away from what you know and into unexpected tasks, new projects, side hustles and secondments etc., helps to broaden your capabilities and build your adaptability and resilience. Continuously equipping yourself with human skills like communication, influence, leadership, critical thinking and creativity (versus chasing 'job security') is even more critical in maintaining relevance and resonance in our dynamic and volatile world of work.    RESOURCES MENTIONED: WEF Future of Jobs 2030 Report by World Economic Forum  https://www.weforum.org/publications/the-future-of-jobs-report-2025 ABOUT OUR GUEST: Martina Doherty is an Irish-born, London-based business psychologist, corporate trainer and leadership coach working with financial and professional services organisations to help them develop their people for a competitive edge in an AI-driven world.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Developing your range of human skills isn't a "one-and-done" exercise — no matter where you are in your career or how old you are, your learning agility and commitment to continuous training helps you to maintain your relevance and credibility. Real communication is an active, two-way exchange - listen deeply, stay present, and notice the difference in the conversations that you create with others. The way you ask questions matters. Try asking curious, open questions to develop rapport and understanding without putting others on the defensive. Holding space for psychological safety provides the opportunity for different perspectives to live alongside each other and allows people to move from feeling the need to fit in to feeling a sense of belonging.   RESOURCES MENTIONED: The Power of Us: Harnessing our shared identities for personal and collective success by Jay van Bavel & Dominic J Packer https://www.amazon.co.uk/Power-Us-Harnessing-Identities-Collective/dp/1472274180 WEF Future of Jobs 2030 Report by World Economic Forum  https://www.weforum.org/publications/the-future-of-jobs-report-2025 ABOUT OUR GUEST: Martina Doherty is an Irish-born, London-based business psychologist, corporate trainer and leadership coach working with financial and professional services organisations to help them develop their people for a competitive edge in an AI-driven world.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Building self-awareness and active listening are essential skills in our modern world of non-linear careers.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Challenge and update your own assumptions to remain relevant and engaged amidst constant change. No matter your age, commit to continuous learning to thrive in the modern workplace. Deeper self-awareness helps you to understand your personal biases and adapt effectively to working with others.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Looking after each other means moving past the number of people we know of to fostering deep, genuine connections with our more immediate circle - it's about "quality over quantity". Going 'beyond you' requires a mental edge that refuses to let excuses take hold in your mind. Growing beyond your current self and circumstances takes a focussed mindset and acceptiong the daily discipline that will be required to achieve what you want without resenting the lifestyle you need to adopt to achieve it. Lasting legacy is built by rejecting the status quo and defining success on your own terms, each and every day.     ABOUT OUR GUEST: Rohan is in his final year of high school and the 2026 School Captain at Box Hill High School in Melbourne, Australia, as well as a competitive long-distance runner and running coach.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS The key to creating impact beyond you is to make your story referrable - letting it go and putting it into the hands of others. Making space for others to be part of creating, shaping and sharing the story that you feel so connected to is essential, but often the most challenging. If you're not articulating your story simply and clearly, others are never going to be able to share it with others. Repetition - consistently, frequently and over time - is what it takes to build both your storytelling muscle as well as a set of impactful 'back-pocket' stories that are resonant, relevant and referrable time and time again.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS: Talk is fundamental to human interaction, talk is inherently purposeful. There are ways of talking, and we all have them - some voices come harder to some people than others but there's no reason why we can't do them all. When meetings are viewed as chapters within a broader issue, it assists in dissecting the problem and engaging all participants in sharing their viewpoints.  "To act wisely actually is to take responsibility for our own actions and their impacts on others" -  Alan Robertson     RESOURCES MENTIONED: On the Front Line: The Collected Journalism of Marie Colvin https://www.amazon.co.uk/Front-Line-Collected-Journalism-2012-04-26/dp/B01K3IQ44E   An Anthropologist on Mars by Oliver Sacks; https://www.amazon.co.uk/Anthropologist-Mars-Oliver-Sacks/dp/0330343475         ABOUT OUR GUEST: Alan Robertson has committed his working life to facilitating personal, interpersonal and organisational development.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Our brain acts as a filter that shapes our experience.  Behavior - our interactions and actions - shapes our sense of belonging and embeds our beliefs. It is not just about what we are listening for in other people; it's about where we are listening from ie. Our own perspective, experiences and beliefs. The shift in moving beyond our own intentions to imagine something bigger than ourselves begins in understanding what it is about how we show up that galvanizes others into particular ways of being and action.   ABOUT KYM HAMER: Kym is an international leadership and personal branding thought leader, an executive coach, and a programme design and facilitation practitioner.

Welcome to Building Brand You™, the podcast that helps you accelerate your success by unlocking your greatest asset – you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS: "The world has a problem and we need to start sharing…owning the problem is what's behind the creation of The Alchemie Network and The Alchemie Foundation." Alex Jennings Understanding others' strengths and matching that with areas where we are not strong is important in moving away from what's best for me to what's best for us - and that includes our teams, partners, customers and our organisation. When it comes to building high performing teams, a 'no hire' is better than a 'bad hire'.  Recognising diversity in culture, gender, and social background within your team will lead to business success, only if you remain creative in how you get your team to work.   RESOURCES MENTIONED: Brilliant Orange: The neurotic genius of Dutch football by David Winner; https://www.amazon.co.uk/Brilliant-Orange-Neurotic-Genius-Football/dp/0747553106   Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking  by Susan Cain; https://www.amazon.co.uk/Quiet-Power-Introverts-World-Talking/dp/0307352153       ABOUT OUR GUEST: Alex is a visionary leader with extensive experience in global procurement, supply chain, and sales.
