Market Impact Insights

The Growth Factor Founder/CEO and Pedowitz Group Partner Dr. Debbie Qaqish shares how leadership impact begins with mindset. "I've seen people with the right mindset outperform people wo had the right skills, the right talent, the right education, and the right pedigree 100 to one." We're not biologically wired to perform well under the constant change and stress we're experiencing in the market right now. AI isn't reshaping marketing; it's rewriting it from scratch. Being an exceptional leader in the midst of this goes far beyond just getting work done. It's changing what people believe is possible, bringing clarity when everything feels like noise and create conditions for real growth. "If you hold that open mindset, you should be giddy right now with all the possibilities that are in front of you."

Best-selling author and strategist Kathleen Schaub, former VP of the CMO Advisory Practice at IDC, shares how chasing more data, tools and a tighter strategy doesn't automatically calm the chaos. Don't fall into the trap of viewing marketing as a "vending machine," and embrace AI with a "navigator" mindset. Focus on the good things versus dwelling only on the bad, and open yourself up as a leader that amazing possibilities await you might not even see today. Creating a work culture focused on continuous learning, composure, entrepreneurialism, empathy and trust creates your greatest impact.

Biggest Goal Co-Founder Alane Boyd joins Dan Albaum for a real conversation on what drives a sustainable, healthy culture in any organization. It starts by asking the right question: "What would make people really happy?" Empathy can be your super power, something that eluded Alane until parenthood brought her perspective back into focus. Embracing the change that AI brings your team, not as a replacement for their humanity but as an incredible force multiplier in efficiency, will lift them to new levels of performance.

Founder, CEO and Fractional CMO Carolyn Crandall shares how sometimes the most most powerful career moves are the ones that terrify you. From a multi-decade cybersecurity and go-to-market leadership journey with technology leaders like Cisco, Juniper Networks, Nimble Storage and Ativo Networks, Carolyn has blazed the trail for other women leaders to ask the fundamental question: "What are we most likely to do? The thing that people tell us we can't do." Her philosophy on growth is about embracing fear. "I would never be where I am today if I didn't keep taking jobs that scared me." At the end of the day, putting others first through exceptional and empathetic leadership has never been more valuable than today. The choice is simple. "Invest in your teams."
