E 224 - Winning Through Platforms with Ted Moser

Drastically improve your process for hiring people AND applying for a job.

Starting today. 

Post-COVID the science of interviewing has advanced radically. 

Today’s guest, Anna Papalia, is a career influencer and TikTok Interview Expert that lays so many game-changing truths on us.

Because 90% of hiring managers aren't trained on how to interview, they fall prey to their implicit bias when judging candidates and making hiring decisions. 

Job seekers, equally as mystified by the process, follow stale
advice, memorizing rote answers that aren't true to who they are.

Interviewing needs to innovate to meet current expectations and the
shortage of top talent. 

Anna shares so many actional nuggets from her INTERVIEWOLOGY book and training program that help you see your personal interview archetype, and then that of others.

Our biases are born from our preferences.

She calls “charmers” those who see an interview as a performance—it’s a stage and they enjoy being the star of the show. 

Another type, Challengers, see an interview as a cross-examination, and want their questions answered.

Examiners are those who see an interview as a pass/fail test and Harmonizers see an interview as a tryout for a team that they want to join.

You’re going to want to take notes to capture these high ROI interviewing insights like:

🧦The interview type that is overused (like worn-out socks you need to toss!)

🧩The #1 mistake hiring managers make

🗑What hiring systems need to ditch asap to improve candidate experience

🎤The top 3 persuasive myths about interview style

🧠How your “weakness” is really a strength that’s overused

ABOUT THIS WEEK’S GUEST:

Anna Papalia is known as TikTok’s “Interview Expert”' (1.5M social media followers) and author of INTERVIEWOLOGY on the new science of interviewing.

She has consulted with Fortune 100 companies, taught at Temple University’s Fox School of Business and coached over 10,000 clients to interview better. 

Her groundbreaking discovery of Interview Styles revolutionized the way we teach and understand interviewing. 

She is also a public speaker at the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) and DisruptHR. She lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

E 225 - Elevate your Interview Today with Anna Papalia

Lydia Menzies started her career as the second-grade teacher we all wish we had -> creating igloos in the classroom that doubled as reading centers and that would later transform into space ships. 

(Her lessons occasionally blew out the school’s electricity.) 

In this conversation, Laura and Lydia talk about what makes an event exceptional and the details that make it memorable.

Lydia’s a pro at building communities through extraordinary social events, such as Supper Club for business owners (Laura’s a member) and now Party Prep School for anyone who wants to uplevel their social life.

Building community starts with building relationships beyond the
one-on-one, something that many introverts find intimidating (after hearing this episode your fear of reaching out will vanish!)

Lydia shares some of her secrets to over-the-top meaningful gatherings:

🎂How to select the best theme for your child’s exceptional birthday party

🔑Her best source for unique party favors

🧩Easy ways to entertain for introverts

🏆 The element that helps people bond in a social situation

💎Her winning process for creating meaningful gatherings

She can make the most mundane affair one to remember! 

She loves a good play-on-words and a unique party theme. 

Lydia also loves to spoil her guests and is known for searching hard for the perfect party favors! 

Anything she touches just seems to have a “little extra something special” to it.

Lydia has also had the opportunity to host and chair countless charity events including events for the American Heart Association, local Women’s Leagues, and local schools.

Today Laura chats with architect Kevin Ervin Kelley, co-founder with Terry Shook, FAIA, of the strategic design firm Shook Kelley, who is all about creating places and experiences that have the power to convene people. 

Doesn’t that sound cool?

Making the audience the star of the place allows both Creators and
Capitalists to get clear on what kind of payoff they need to provide to consumers in exchange for their time, energy, and expense.

Successful architects and designers are also master communicators and today is our chance to learn from a high AQ A-Lister! (AQ = Aesthetic Intelligence.) 

The competitive edge has shifted already and that matters
whether you lead a company or want to stand out as a thought leader.

But a little less Alan Turing and a bit more William Shakespeare
would change everything.

While Kevin works a lot with retail and other public-facing industries,
expectations are now radically different no matter where you work! 

Mercado is an excellent example of the future successful grocery store. 

You’ll learn in this fascinating conversation how to think about place in the modern context.

Top-notch takeaways include:

🔥What you must know about our “Replacement Economy” (before we’re replaced 🤣)

🎯The pioneer essential skill needed for career success right now

🎤How and why office space has radically changed (hint: new purpose)

🛒What’s about to change in our grocery stores! 

💰How Kevin and Terry Shook, FAIA  built their firm SELLING big ideas (you can copy this!)

🚀Use the work/payoff ratio (WPR) to make better decisions

🔥The importance of Bonfire Events and their “participation mystique”

Kevin Ervin Kelley is an award-winning architect, brand innovator, and co-founder of the strategic design firm Shook Kelley, with offices in Los Angeles and Charlotte.

brands, such as Harley Davidson, Whole Foods, Kroger, Kraft, Nabisco, JM Smucker, Cadbury, The Cleveland Orchestra, professional sports teams, universities, urban districts, and hundreds of local and regional enterprises.

His expertise is convening people in the public realm and studying how the environment of a place affects behavior, perception, and decision-making.

b) massively boost your public speaking skills, or 
c) want to be charismatic but think you’re too quiet or 
d) are curious about what it’s like working in the pop music industry.

common with great public speaking? (Hint: a lot has to do with the right hemisphere of the brain!)

Drew Lawrence is a multi-platinum selling songwriting and recording artist signed to Warner Music. 

He is best known for his work with Christina Perri including co-writing her international hit song “Jar of Hearts”. Drew’s songs
have been recorded by a variety of worldwide artists.

He and Laura meet at the intersection of music writing and public speaking.

They also look at Taylor Swift’s career and the influence of having top talent v. doing the work.

I have a passion for helping people improve their speaking skills, recognizing the power of effective communication and building a lasting legacy through music.

A leader cannot inspire people without emotional connection built on
authenticity.

E 229 A-List Charisma Mini Episode

On the topic of charisma the vast majority of people got Robin Williams completely wrong and we’re going into that.

This episode is especially for you if you want 
a) want to have more influence,
b) want to cultivate your own charisma 
c) need a quick battery charge right now or 
d) are tired of being looked over

Welcome to Speak Up, the podcast for high-performing introverts, including you social introverts, where we reveal the charisma & communication secrets of A-Listers so you get the recognition and opportunities you deserve. 

I’m your host Laura Camacho, your magical communication godmother, coach, and strategist. 

Take note that we now release episodes every Monday, Wednesday
and Friday.

For this episode I’m drawing from not only my own hard-earned knowledge base but also two recent guest episodes that go deeper into these topics: episode 222 with José Ucar, called Build Your Global Influence is fabulous and make sure you listen to last week’s episode 228 with songwriter Drew Lawrence called You Can Create Charisma.

To max out this charisma lesson here are 3 practices for you:

1. Focus on warmth and personal connection. Remember that the next time you want to show others charisma. 

For now, don’t worry about presence or credibility, that’s what most of us tend to over index on.

Focus on showing warmth.

2. Share your bloopers. In your stories and even work presentation, share specific aspects of yourself and your experiences, NOT trying to be perfect. 

Of course at work your experience needs to relate to your topic.

But say you’re talking about trustworthy AI, share a funny story where you got a crazy response from some generative AI platform.

3. Charisma can be rehearsed a la Robin Williams. Start observing what are the specific characteristics you see that make a person come across as charismatic.
