Why is it that some of your peers seem to land those amazing opportunities and have higher visibility even though their skills and experience are similar to yours? One answer might be their personal branding and how they market themselves. Janice Mandel, a PR & Communications specialist, shared her insights about this and how you can develop your personal brand on Episode 56 of the Reframe & Reset Your Career podcast.
In this episode, we will learn about:
The skills that helped Janice become a good PR & communications professional,
The benefits of being intentional in finding and connecting with mentors,
Setting clear medium/ long term goals, being focused and not being distracted,
How thinking strategically helped her move to her dream job despite the short term loss of a bonus and her VP title,
How proactively reaching out and solving real issues, created value and raised her profile within a global corporation,
How a better understanding of her own and each team member’s personality type improved her leadership skills,
What is personal branding?
How personal branding can help your job search and career development, and
How building your brand can raise your profile and also benefit your current company.
Janice helps business professionals build a strong personal brand by showing them simple and effective ways to build their visibility and get their message out so they can generate excitement and demand for what they do. Her background includes 25+ years building brands for companies like Microsoft, American Express and Procter & Gamble where she was head of public relations for Canada. She also ran a PR consultancy for small and medium-sized businesses in industries ranging from financial services and real estate to cannabis and mining.Janice understands that small business owners and professionals can benefit from the many of the same kind of strategies that big companies use to attract attention. She recently launched a podcast called Path to Visibility to teach just that. It covers topics like how to find your audience, clarify your message and build a profile that will get you noticed in a way that’s authentic to you—even if you’re shy and don’t like talking about yourself.

Just imagine, you’re called in for a big client presentation at work and you have to win the pitch to save your career. This is a scenario that professional athletes, including our guest Robbie White, face throughout their career. Robbie shared how he has dealt with this and much more on Episode 54 of the Reframe & Reset Your Career podcast.
Robbie is a professional cricketer with one of England’s top cricket clubs, Middlesex CCC. Prior to becoming a full time professional cricketer with Middlesex, Robbie attended Loughborough University, where he graduated with a Psychology degree as he has always been interested in the mental side of sport. Robbie is a batsman and wicket keeper and he scored his first hundred for Middlesex in 2021, which was soon followed by a second.
During the winters Robbie has used his time off to start working for David James Wealth as a Client Relationship Manager to gain experience in the business world to help him navigate his life after cricket.
Robbie is a good friend of the show and previously appeared on Episode 8. I was keen to get him back to do a deep dive into the mental side of sport, how athletes manage extreme pressure and how it can be applied to our working life. We had a great conversation and discussed the following:
How studying psychology has helped his sporting career,
Building resilience by managing and moving on from failure,
Focusing on what you can control when faced with stressful scenarios,
The benefits of visualisation and recalling what helped you succeed if you’re in a difficult situation,
Becoming comfortable with uncertainty by creating a routine,
How good leaders understand each team member’s unique needs and personality and
The leadership insights that he has picked up by captaining the Middlesex second team.

Just imagine being diagnosed with cancer at 40 and you’re told it’s incurable. This is the dire situation that Dr Gil Winch faced over 20 years ago. Once he recovered from the shock, he set out to overcome his illness by strengthening his body, strengthening his mind and finding a new life mission. This eventually led to him founding Call Yachol, an outsourcing call center, which is a 100% underdog company composed mainly of people with disabilities and is a proving ground for his hiring and workforce-building model.
Gil has served for 30+ years as an organizational consultant for many large companies and is an in-demand keynote speaker. His work creating Call Yachol has received international attention and led to an invitation to speak at conferences alongside Bill Clinton and other influential leaders.
Gil is the author of Winning with Underdogs, which is an inspiring read and a practical step-by-step guide, using the lessons from his business, to help build a more just society, while benefitting your business―and everyone in it!
Gil and I had a great conversation and talked about the following:
Moving from clinical to organisational psychology as it was more aligned with his personality,
How he started his mission to assist people with disabilities back into work,
Why helping people and giving is so transformative,
The strategies that he used to take back control and overcome his illness,
The power of reframing and how it helps to overcome fear,
How his company reduces the stress and anxiety of the interview process,
Ways of developing confidence,
Managing difficult situations at work,
Job search strategies, and
Creating a caring environment and managing your team with kindness.

Want to know more about how your mindset and beliefs can transform many aspects of your life including careers, fitness, managing stress and health? I spoke about this to David Robson, the author of The Expectation Effect, and the winner of the 2022 BPS Book Awards. David is an award-winning science writer specialising in the extremes of the human brain, body and behaviour. His first book, The Intelligence Trap, was published in 2019, and received worldwide media attention.

His writing has also appeared in the Guardian, the Atlantic, Aeon, Men’s Health and many more outlets.

What is the nocebo effect and how it differs from the placebo effect?
Don’t underestimate the power of positive thinking,
Looking at the brain as a prediction machine,
Reframing stressful situations and focusing on the positive aspects,
Changing mindset is important but results can’t be achieved without preparation and effort,
Reminding yourself of the work that you’ve done may help prior to an event like an interview or presentation,
Finding opportunities to push yourself out of your comfort zone without taking on excessive risk, which helped David with his public speaking,
Celebrating your achievements can help reinforce your mindset, and
Is it possible to increase your willpower?

“We recruiters can sense when somebody's panicked and it's just unfortunately not going to be to your advantage … so I would say fundamental to moving forward as a job seeker or if you're trying to grow or change your career is thinking through, how can I get my head straight, how can I be at my best? … I will say that there's not a simple answer and I don't like it when people project that it is "just go do this, everything will be great" … it is challenging for a lot of people but coming from the recruiter's perspective, I would say it will absolutely benefit you if you get your mindset in a decent place as you go forward” Jenny Foss told me on Episode 49 of the Reframe & Reset Your Career podcast.

A Certified Professional Resume Writer (CPRW), ferocious Scrabble player, and mean margarita maker, Jenny lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband, three kids, and rescue dog Daisy.
Her book “Do This, Not That: Career” was recently published and is a great read!

Starting out as a journalist and transitioning into PR and marketing,
Not being happy with the trajectory of her career and moving into recruiting,
The importance of marketing, positioning yourself and building your brand,
Why mindset and not being fearful are crucial when looking for a new job,
