Manage episode 376359906 series 3308859
Loren Greiff (who purposely plays with how her name is displayed) is a super successful executive career coach. I invited her to the podcast because the key to success in building and growing a business is hiring the right talent.
Loren is a self-declared "Idiot Savant" with a talent to visualize, "I treat life like a pallet." And she gives kudos to Grandma, who Loren calls "the bad-ass in the family."
Loren attributes her success to the smart strategic move she made to "Learn from the Masters." and sharpen her tools - I wanted to learn 10" deep, not 1" ten times."
Join me for this fun rollercoaster interview, learn the behind-the-scenes of recruiting and the following additional insights:
- Why Loren decided to be an English Literature major (not what you think of when you're visually creative.)
- Why Loren decides to take on business as a discipline
- How did Loren get into a top-tier advertising agency with a degree from a small but unfamous college?
- What prompted Loren to pivot in her pursuit of achieving balance?
- Why is Loren messing with the spelling of her name?
- What is an "excuse exterminator?"
- Why are people stuck in jobs they don't like? It results from the perception that looking for a job is long, hard, and generally sucks.
- Why hitting the Apply Now button is soothing but very deceiving.
- What is the easiest way to separate (candidates) fakers from the real deal?
- "I don't care about your resume. I know how to read."
- "Different is better than better."
- What role is AI going to play in the hiring process?
- The one song Loren admits to singing in the shower.
