My work is the place where I can show the world who I am. This was a quote from a recent ScaleX Club workshop with Philip McKernan. A thought-provoking couple of days. Stirred up a lot of emotion and questions for me. What you do, doesn’t need to be: ?????????????????-A wage. ?????????????????-A means to an end. ?????????????????-Something you do not love. Instead, what if your work was a canvas of your true self? Every interaction, challenge or project could be an opportunity to showcase. ?????????????????-Your spirit ?????????????????-Your dedication ?????????????????-Your creativity ?????????????????-Your vision ?????????????????-Your leadership What’s the part of you that shines in your professional life? How does this align with your purpose and goals? At Simple Scaling we don’t help businesses to scale, we help people scale their ambition, ability, and agility in business.

Recently, I've been engaging with some corporate venture leaders and listening to their stories and experiences. No two stories are the same but they share similar struggles, it's fascinating how diverse yet interconnected these experiences are. Whether you are currently in a corporate venture team or a startup person experiencing the corporate venturing process from the other side,?does this story resonate with you? and Why? ?? xcube.co recently launched the global CVPE community - a hub for corporate leaders, innovators, and investors to collaborate and share insights on this specific topic. ???? Check out the link in the comment section or reach out to me if you're keen to join the community. Your input is highly valued! #CorporateVenturing #Innovation #CVPECommunity #RiskMitigation

Playing it safe feels good. But it won’t build the future. Short-term wins? Crucial. They give us momentum, validation, and quick results. But if you only focus on today, you’re leaving tomorrow’s gold on the table. The future isn’t about competing in crowded spaces: it’s about creating new ones. The companies that thrive tomorrow will be those that balance today’s successes with investments in the unknown - those “Blue Oceans” where untapped potential lies. It’s not about abandoning the short-term. It’s about balancing it with bold, long-term bets. Companies that master this balance escape the “innovator’s dilemma.” They won’t just compete in existing markets. They’ll create entirely new ones. → Short-term wins keep you competitive. → Long-term vision keeps you ahead. While we celebrate today’s achievements, let’s not lose sight of tomorrow’s opportunities. Where are you investing for the future? #Innovation #Leadership #BlueOceanStrategy #LongTermVision #GameChangers #SustainableGrowth

Last week, I had the honor of mentoring the Techstars Farm to Fork program and shared so many power-packed conversations with founders about media and PR. Great questions asked by a strong cohort. Something that kept coming up? The importance of repurposing content. More often than not, I've observed founders land earned media placement in top tier publications but see very little to no conversion as a result. There could be a number of reasons for this like a misaligned audience or competing with a busy news cycle. One thing you always have control over is the way you illustrate the placement by using owned and shared media channels. They might not read the article, but you can still capture attention. Share a direct quote, publish a photo, explain your CTA or do a deep-dive on something you mentioned in the interview. 90% of the opportunity is a result of how you prepare for conversion and what you do with the placement to appear where you're relevant. Earned media builds credibility. You drive demand. And if you want help, check out how we do it in partnership with bold leaders who build the future every day: www.laureldevelops.com/how Thanks to Sarah Bain for the invitation to mentor.

Capital alone won’t attract top founders. The best founders look for more than financial backing. They also want: ?? Guidance and mentorship. ?? Access to a network that can drive growth. And burnishing your reputation in these two areas can bring better deals to your firm. Here’s how: ?? Media exposure to showcase your firm’s integrity. ?? Thought leadership articles that highlight your expertise. ?? Valuable content that addresses the challenges founders face. If you're not showcasing your expertise you're invisible.

I work with VC companies on PR and thought leadership strategy. Follow for more insights.
