In this episode of Bold Encounters, Mark Cook presents his interview with Diana Kelly. Diana shares her professional journey, starting with being recruited by Microsoft while working at IBM. She was initially hired for her expertise in application security and later expanded her role to become the global Executive Security Advisor. Diana emphasizes the importance of focusing on the team you work with within a large organization to make a significant impact.

Diana speaks about her experience and career growth within Microsoft, acknowledging the scale of the company and the unique opportunities it offers. We were curious about her insights gained from navigating her companies environment, including interactions with colleagues and team. She told us about obstacles and challenges she has faced in their career, emphasizing the presence of opposition in life. We discussed Diana’s entry point into Microsoft and Diana gives examples of collaborating with the Consulting Group at IBM.

Diana believes that leadership starts with individuals themselves and then extends to their team objectives, mission, and vision for their firm’s ecosystem. Diana says she guards against any intention to dismiss or discourage anyone. Rather, she aims to present an encouraging, realistic perspective.

“Oftentimes,” Diana says. “People find themselves feeling stuck in their current circumstances, unsure of where they want to go or what they want to pursue. In such instances, it becomes imperative to reflect upon one's true desires without judgment.”

In my own career, I have experienced various roles and acquired expertise in different facets of security technology. One consistent factor that has fueled my journey is the exhilaration of acquiring new knowledge and then sharing it with others, ensuring responsible and ethical utilization.

For instance, during the early days of widespread Wi-Fi adoption, countless organizations struggled with its implementation. Recognizing this need, I immersed myself in understanding the intricacies of Wi-Fi technology. Consequently, I had the privilege of delivering numerous talks and conducting classes to aid businesses in effectively leveraging Wi-Fi while upholding security measures.

The common thread throughout this experience was the sheer delight I derived from the learning process itself, which fueled my energy and passion for helping others navigate the realm of technology Moreover, when you pursue a path driven by passion, your performance tends to excel naturally.

By immersing yourself in something you genuinely love, you are more likely to devote yourself wholeheartedly and achieve remarkable results.

"Communicate with Radical Creativity for Internal Change," says Carolina Doldán, Co-founder of Change Agency near Buenos Aires, Argentina. Goldman Sachs voted Carolina and into its 10,000 Women program, as a top female leader. Carolina is a leading expert at communicating and causing change inside organizations (see more episodes at MarkSpencerCook.com/Podcast/. Please like, share, and comment to help us reach new heights! George Bernard Shaw said, “The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” Carolina Doldán is co-founder of Change Agency, a young, agile company full of experts in internal communication and organizational change. Carolina’s partners (Juan Bautista Ortell and Carolina Spataro) and their teams execute: internal communication, corporate culture shifts, organizational change, transformation, and coaching. Carolina's team develops the most creative attention-grabbing campaigns you’ve ever seen with a disruptive style in a good way. They transmit fun, positivity, and out-of-the-box effectiveness. But Carolina pursues results while respecting and nurturing a culture’s values. Most importantly, Carolina finds evidence of impact on each project. “If you have a leader with a clear strategy and a clear vision in his or her mind, where is it?” Carolina Doldán, internal communication expert asks. “It's in his or her mind. You have to really get it out and get it into the minds of everyone else, or you're not leading work. Work on the narrative, what you want to accomplish, because communication can change things. Communication will change things.” “I think it's very personal,” said Carolina Doldán, corporate expert, said about finding passion within corporations. “I mean you can be in a corporate position or in any company and feel you're doing what defines you or what you want to do.” “It doesn't work like that; not at all,” Carolina Doldán, master communicator, said of typical c-suite messages. “If we have the values hanging in the wall, it's not going to do anything. We have a simple strategy that has a couple of steps. First, you have to make people part of [formulating] that strategy…” Carolina Doldán showed her thinking and courage to launch Change Agency, “I was going through a coaching process which was really profound to me…I made the decision to leave a job where I had been for 10 years. And there were several factors that led me to this decision. On the one hand, I personally had change in me…” “It was creating something that is mine,” Carolina Doldán, change expert, said. “It has all the ingredients that I consider valuable and that are part of my values and my work culture.” “Extreme creativity is doing something disruptive in a campaign that catches other’s attention,” Carolina Doldán, internal communicator, recommends. “Then maybe they like what they see and get involved. Attention is what we're competing with right now. So in order to get them aware of something, or understanding something, or adopting something, we need to catch their attention.” Carolina, herself, is a dynamic change agent and corporate transformation expert with strong background in strategy, organizational development, and change management. She leads to achieve what clients set out to accomplish. And she loves every minute. Everyone around her can tell. Carolina's visionary leadership and drive have earned her several prestigious awards and honors. For example, Goldman Sachs included Carolina in their “10,000 Women” Recognition. Carolina is also a speaker for IC forums, conferences, and webinars.

Amy Hrehovcik is an amazing leader with incredible ideas. Everyone should be a leader like this in some way. It’s strange how different we all think our jobs are. At the core, we should all lead something. And even families are, in a sense, tech firms now with all the software and services we must master. We all share that we go to work with a group of people to advance the situation of another group, internal or external to our firm. We get paid to benefit others. But it turns out we share some specialized tasks we don't even realize. Getting to know new people in a great way is just one of the interactions that all great leaders share. Here are nine others below. You’ll want to listen to Amy’s take on each of these in my Episode 16:

· The conversation with others about work.

· The conversation with yourself when you first wake.

· The conversation with a new person each day.

· The conversation to challenge another to a better future.

· The conversation to holdup one’s value over lesser alternatives.

· The conversation to describe uniqueness instead of just strength.

· The group conversation to orchestrate agreement.

· The conversation to get acquainted with a friends’ friend.

· The conversation to make a case expertly.

· The conversation to create a consensus of feeling.

Our job to create joy for others is our common ground. For example, I unstick opportunity. I do it for mid-size, company leadership. I specialize in the tech industry--every company today.

“Serving” is too passive today. See if you can see a pattern in a more granular example. In a previous episode, $8-billion CEO, Ken Lamneck said his most important job as a leader was to network to create new relationships. By far, the most important way a salesperson gains new business is to proactively develop referrals—create new relationships. The best product leaders practice continuous product discovery, part of which is to create new relationships with prospects and ask about their needs. Perhaps one more. Technologist are problem solving most of every day. The hundreds of I have worked with make it clear that a favorite tool is asking former colleagues to suggest new contacts who could be asked for the missing solution.

In today's episode, we offer detailed strategies to master the conversations below. I took anxiously after my interview with Amy. I loved everything Amy had to say and ate it up—such great insights on the art of challenging, leadership conversations in life’s work! Her are my high-level notes from one of these key conversations:

The conversation with a new person each day.

Once we get ourselves going, then comes the second difficult conversation. Listen carefully to people talk about getting to know someone or a first meeting with a new partner. The people discussing the meeting have likely skipped the part about the ten attempts (or 30, see Seanice Lojede episode). The key is to attract a meaningful stranger into a conversation each day. Say it however you like, but the intentions have to be nearly flawless. "Check-mark" attempts at offering help won't do, but something or someone that is truly and specifically valuable may. The offer has to be so benign, easy and simple that the stranger's innate nerves for nurture, mastery, and connection kick in instead of fear.

The conversation with yourself when you first wake.

“Self, should I get up or hit the snooze?...” Of course, the conversation goes best when you treat it like a conversation. Will your mind to order your body to jump up before you count from five to one (Mel Robbins’ trick). Get up and do the hardest thing first or the most valuable to others and your wealth. Set a morning routine. Our first conversation daily is a parental conversation by our mind to our bodies to tell them what to, pretty strongly (to yourself :-)).

My Interivew with Seanice Lojede, Group CEO of Blue Flamingo Digital, once fled the pain of poverty and escaped the darkness of death with bold force of will. This is one of the most inspiring interviews you will ever experience.

Todd shares how to maximize a billion-dollar, tech P & L with limited time, then lean your ladder on a new wall, turning an unfamiliar business around. He compares leadership and mountaineering. He tunes into teams, family, markets & integrates fully into each environment.

The most elementary lesson of leadership came as I started my first job at Dan's Foods. My work life began in the middle of a giant storm that surrounded me. It was an intense, ever-present family situation, then it all moved within my head, all the time, even at work. That first job during such an intense time, first added rain to the storm, but then it provided an eye to the hurricane of life. Some names have been changed to protect the innocent.

You have to hear this! Homeless to success story. Jaime Jay understands getting stuck in work & life. A month or so ago, Jaime heard me speak in Florida and called.

The man was fired on the spot publicly. Sean went next...Sean shares the end of the story and his lessons from that day and many other career tech, go-to-market adventures.

My tribute & interview of Kyle Whittingham on his process of leading millennials and strategy. Kyle and Utah became PAC-12 Champions and a Rose Bowl team through Kyle's leadership process over decades. Kyle, Utah Football's Breakout Coach, has won a record number of games in a small market. Kyle was pre-pandemic, Dodd FBS Coach of the Year, Kyle leads millennial athletes and nearly 80 non-athletes to unprecedented academic, community and sports success—criteria of the Dodd award. How has he done this as a Utah coach for two decades? He preaches “trust the process”—one that works. So we share Whittingham’s team and individual leadership process.
