Top of Mind Thursday April 27, 2017: The Power of the Backstory
This week I’m in Chicago attending the Million Dollar Consulting Convention, produced by consulting guru Alan Weiss.
Today’s speaker, positioning expert Mark Levy, asked the audience to think about their backstory–the narrative that explains why you were born to do what you do, why your personal work is so important to who you are.
It occurs to me that organizations, like individuals, have their own backstories.
Those brands that have done a great job effectively positioning themselves have also developed a narrative that explains how they got here and what makes them so passionate about their business or cause. They share these stories with their employees, their customers and their partners and they become embedded in our image and perception. Think Apple and Nordstroms, the Red Cross and Habitat for Humanity.
Why are you inherently the right solution for your customers? What makes you the brand that will resonate emotionally with your audience?
What’s your backstory?

Top of Mind Thursday April 20, 2017: A Long, Long Run
On Monday, 70-year-old Kathrine Switzer completed the Boston Marathon–50 years after she became the first female runner to officially do so.
In 1967, Switzer registered using her initials, which means it wasn’t until she started to run that race officials realized what was happening. They then tried to grab the number off her back and remove her from the race, but she kept going.
In the intervening half century, Switzer has completed 40 marathons–and women’s sports have gone from being an after thought to an expected part of athletic competition. Women compete in the full range of sporting events, even in sports like wrestling and boxing that were considered men-only events not that long ago. Women made up over 45% of the official participants in this Monday’s marathon.
Switzer’s number, 261, was retired after the event, but her effort goes on. Women have made great strides in the last 50 years, but they haven’t achieved full parity with men’s sports yet. And so the long, long run continues.
