2:55  

a green?

2:56  

Green? And why? Why green?

3:01  

I don’t know why I’ve always been attracted more to the greens and blues that the jewel tones probably because my eyes are green,

3:07  

I was just gonna say it’s in your color wheel makes those gorgeous eyes of yours pop, which is fantastic. Good for you. Good for you. So let’s get to the origins of Claire let’s let’s get to where you incorporate America ever or what what was your story that gets you kind of get into the talent because

3:23  

I was so I have a corporate survivor. I spent after by the way finishing college and swearing I was never going to work in corporate. So you know, you’ll learn quickly that never is not a word that you have in your vocabulary for, you know, a bunch of reasons. But lo and behold, that’s where the job offers were. And that’s where, you know, the the the learnings were. So I spent close to 20 years in corporate you know, doing everything from, you know, doing packaging of environmental impact statements for an environmental engineering company. That was my first job out of college. Yeah, exactly. The pilot rule on it on a big binder of of environmental impacts, and I’m like, What the hell am I doing so, so moved on from there. And my, you know, my corporate career journey took me from communications and marketing and, you know, all of that sort of branding into customer relations I worked in customer service for for a couple of years. And then you know, found my way through the side door into HR, where I you know, started out in employee training and development that morphed into, you know, all things recruiting, staffing, talent management, leadership development, executive coaching, you know, the whole the whole nine yards around, just talent development and in pipelines. And then the last year that I was in corporate I was being groomed for a higher level executive position the the Senior VP of HR at the time. was on about a two year retirement window and was kind of grooming me, you know, is one of the potential candidates to sort of take over for that. And, and so I moved into more of a VP of HR role where I was doing, you know, soup to nuts. HR oversight for, for a big division. It was one it was, it was great, it was great experience. And it was great, because it validated that that was exactly where I did not want to take my career. So that was in by 2011. You know, I kind of took the decision that this isn’t for me, life’s too short to kind of, you know, stay on this on this track on this runaway train, and, you know, kind of just took my chances and went out in the consulting world.

5:46  

So curious, what did your family think about it? Because you’re probably pretty well paid in your position, right? I know. Okay, so in compensated, and whatnot, and benefits and all that jazz up? What does your family think about the decision to kind of work into stepping away from the corporate world helping people level up?

6:04  

Yeah, so, um, my family and the other folks who knew me best, first of all, knew they were not going to talk me out of this, but they also knew what I had been going through personally. So earlier that year, so in 2011, I was, you know, traveling like crazy, you know, remember, remember the days when you could actually go on an airplane, without, you know, wearing the, the cone of silence or in your head, right. And so, you know, it’s traveling every, every week, I was working, like, you know, going 150 miles an hour, just trying to fulfill the role, you know, that I was in, but also because it was a bit of a stretch role. For me, it was really challenging, both physically and mentally, and, you know, all in a good way. But, you know, kind of long story short, I was having some medical issues, and when I had some tests and found that I had cancer, and it was like, so, I mean, you go from 150 miles an hour traveling all the time to, you have no choice, you have to take a month off of work, you have to get surgery to get, you know, what, what ended up being three tumors removed from me. Um, you know, and and everything from kind of, you know, the recovery, the follow treatment, whatever. But what was, you know, what was the most challenging year for me, you know, in terms of that also ended up being the most transformative year. Because after the surgery, after the follow treatments, I still had that, you know, that that period of silence where I was home, I was away from work, and I was just focused on my recovery. Sure. And in that silence, this voice that had been trying to get my attention for months, finally, got, you know, sat up and made me take notice, and it asked me the question, you know, are you doing what you’re telling what you’re what you’re passionate about? And the answer was no. And, you know, when you have an answer like that, when it’s that clear, you have to do something with that. Sure. Right. And so, you know, cancer diagnosis, I mean, I’ll skip to the end, I’m in terms of that I am completely cancer free. That all worked out. Right. So that’s cool. Um, but it was such a great, you know, at first it is kind of like a, like, a scratch off card, right? Like, you don’t you don’t know until you kind of are handed something like that, right? what’s underneath the surface? It reveals, you know, you’ve got a reservoir of strength, you didn’t know you had to because guess what, you’ve got no choice, right? You can’t just ignore this. You can’t just say, you know, what, the morning of surgery, I don’t feel like going. That wasn’t right. You know, and, and you also, you know, you also understand very clearly that you’re not alone. So, um, you know, kind of going through all of that. I decided after I came back to work, listen, you know, this, I’ve been fortunate enough to build a great career in a company that I’ve been there for almost 15 years, right? I had a bunch of different career changes here, customer service, communications, branding, you know, HR, etc. But I was like, I’ve got to take my shot. Because if I, if I wait, right, you know, I don’t have enough experience, or you know, I don’t have enough contacts to kind of go out on my own and do consulting. I knew that if I waited, I was going to blink. And it was going to be 10 years down the road, right? And this was in 2011. So that 10 year mark is almost up, right? And you’re gonna, you’re gonna, you’re gonna wait for like, the most opportune moment to take your shot, right? And if you wait for perfection, it doesn’t come, right. It’s sort of like, I’m gonna wait for the ideal time to have kids or to, you know, start a side hustle or to you know, do this Saturday, travel the world. If those are your dreams, if that’s your goal, go take your shot, because, you know, you you blink and you’re gonna miss it. Yeah, so you know, so my family knew what I had gone through. The people who knew me best what I knew what I had been kind of struggling with. And so no, they, you know, they were, they were fully supportive. It was the people kind of on the fringes of that saw what you just commented on, which is Wait, you’re on an executive track, you would probably do. And well, from a compensation perspective, I was working in an industry that was super stable. Sure, um, you know, and so like, I had a going away party at work, because I’ve been there for close to 15 years, right. And my parents came to it, and people kept pulling aside my mom going, is she sure she knows what she’s doing? Like,

10:24  

they lived a good life,

10:26  

you know? Absolutely.

10:27  

They have that. There’s no ill will, but they’re, like crabs in a bucket where you’re getting out, and they’re kind of pulling you back in. And that kind of segue into this is, you know, what do you think makes a great leader?

10:40  

Um, you know, for for me, and if you’d asked me that, when I first started started out, I would not have had this this answer, but kind of doing the work that I’ve done. There’s really two key things to me. They are self awareness, and authenticity. And, you know, on the surface, that sounds so simplistic, when you break, but when Yeah, I mean, when you think about it, the greatest leaders are not the ones who are so charismatic. They’re just like snake oil salesmen, right. They are the people who are really in touch with who they are and what they are not. And our you know, our authentic to their genuine style, their genuine skill set, they’re, you know, they’ve got this openness about, you know, where they want to take their business, and by extension, where they want to be their people. And those are the leaders who are going to get people to rally around them.

11:36  

I love it, I love it. So when you’re bringing in a company, to coach them, or help them level up, or even individuals, if you don’t mind sharing a little bit of your secret sauce, but what is something that you do to help them find their blind spot?

11:51  

Yeah, so, um, the first thing I always work on with, with an individual leader, you know, and I try to get in with a company and work from the top down, because that’s typically where, you know, that’s where, when they’re trying to grow, when they’re trying to scale when they’re trying to expand, that’s where they’re hitting your head the most. And most of those companies don’t recognize it. Right. So, you know, to me that the greatest impact on a company’s culture is the behavior of its leaders. It’s not well, culture is built from the ground up culture, it only looks like it’s built from the ground up, because employees are watching what the leaders do. So, you know, the first step for me in working with any company is really kind of holding up that mirror, to to get those leaders at that level of self awareness that they’re going to need in terms you know, to grow, you can’t grow if you’re not willing to take risks, but you can’t just flail, right, you’ve got to have a very strategic intent in terms of where you’re going to grow, why you want to grow, and equally important, what your gaps are, right? What your gaps are, as an individual leader, trying to get you know, these people to follow you in the right direction. And what the gaps are as a company. And you can’t do that without a real, genuine deep awareness of the talent that you have the skills you can leverage and the key gaps that you need to address.

13:21  

Okay, so if you are going into a company and you might be brought in by the CEO, the top leader, there’s that person that’s below him, that kind of runs it. How do you deal with their ego because they’re gonna come I do it too. You know, I coach high level executives and companies, like how what is your technique or skill that you use to? You know, cuz you’re gonna be dealing with a person not so much the CEO CEO is gonna sit down, say, Hey, we’re bringing in talent boost, let’s rock and roll. Let’s level up. How do you deal with that person? That’s just under him? There’s subordinate? That is really the one that oversees the 2030 100 people.

14:00  

Yeah, um, it happens every single time. There is always one senior leader. You know, in a lot of times, it’s more than one. But there’s always that one senior leader in the room, who says, I just don’t get it. I’m not totally on board. I don’t see why culture is such a big deal, or I don’t see why, you know, he had to bring in some outside help. I literally just went through this last week. So I’m sitting down with a new client and the CEO brought me in, we had some some really good background, foundational discussions, you know, between myself and the CEO. Because that’s the first barrier you have to kind of overcome, right, you have to get the CEO to that point of self awareness enough to say, what got us here isn’t going to get us there. And I personally as a CEO, need somebody to hold my feet to the fire to make sure I am showing up and left leveling up myself as the type of leader that my people deserve and who you know that they’re gonna want to follow. And that’s kind of hurdle one. That’s great. But like you said, and you’ve just described, you don’t you didn’t win the war, just because you got the CEOs endorsement. In fact, you just encountered the next hurdle. And it’s usually a big one, you know, or it’s sort of the, you know, what’s that kind of crawl you do in the military under the barbed wire, or shoot, you know, live rounds over your head? That’s that first senior leadership team meeting, because it’s not enough for the CEO to plop Claire into the middle of the room and say, she’s the one who’s got all the answers, right. The reality is, one that’s not going to fly, because these people are the, you know, the biggest adults, you’ve gotten the room, so to speak, right? And they need to be respected enough to sign off on, you know, this decision, and they have to get to a point of self awareness where they say, Yes, she gets a she can take us to where we want to want to go. But the other piece of that, is that, you know, that’s kind of the great myth of us leadership consultants is that we have all the answers. I don’t have you know, you, you talked about the secret sauce, and we all have some approach that is unique, otherwise, we would not be able to make it doing what we’re doing. But the reality is, the answers aren’t coming out of me, they’re coming out of you. And what’s great about you know, people like us, and the work that we do is we have a unique ability to pull those answers. A lot of you, right,

16:32  

I’m not giving the answers Exactly. Right.

16:35  

It’s it helps them find those answers in ways that left to their own devices, they’re not going to be able to do

16:41  

gotcha. So what do you think? What do you think? The one thing is that people misunderstand the most buckler?

16:52  

Um, gosh, there’s probably so many things people misunderstand about me, you know, I’ll sum it up like this, the greatest compliment I have gotten to date from a client, and this is someone that I have known since my corporate days, and asked me to come in and help him build his next company. He recently said, Claire is always calm in a crisis, always creative in solving problems, and is always professional, but only when it’s necessary. And what I love about that is, you know, I’ve known him for so long, and he is, as you know, irreverent and non corporate, as I am. And people if they don’t fully understand that, you know, the way to get unstuck in your company, and how to scale the right way, and how to bring the right people into your organization onto your team and help, you know, and want to enthusiastically contribute. You don’t get there by acting, quote, unquote, professional, and you certainly don’t get there by acting corporate, you know, that the corporate mindset, right? Kind of, and I and I was laughed at this, like every corporation, every corporation, regardless of size, regardless of history, advertises that their culture is entrepreneurial, and that they’re looking for people who are innovative, who are willing to take risks and are entrepreneurial. Right? And what’s the first thing they freaking do they hire them? They stuffed the resume in a drawer, and they say, this is the box that you get to play in? Yeah, don’t jump out of that box until color outside of the lines, right? So the hypocrisy of that is really what’s holding back companies big and small.

18:34  

Got it? So they got a So are you saying that they should loosen the reins a little bit and let the their imaginations kind of take over and help the company maybe add value to the company? Because I mean, I just feel good leader of a company, or a CEO needs to really go and ask what, what everybody all their underlings, for lack of a better term, would like to see, you know, and I and I say that I get a lot of brush back from that, because I didn’t get here by being asked, but I’ll tell you what, you can change the culture, and that by showing love because asking, you might not take what they say and implement it, but at least you’re getting, you know, certain guidance from the right way. So I mean, your thoughts on you, would you with the talent boost, you have the leaders kind of go out and ask their subordinates maybe for what they’re, they’d like to see different or what would help level up.

19:33  

Yeah, that’s a it is a huge component to to what I do is that I’ll simplify it by calling it a feedback loop. But it’s not that simplistic, right. Um, but we we kind of, so I, you know, that’s kind of the, one of the middle stages of my work with them. And I and the reason I say that is because if you just sort of invite them after the first meeting your senior leaders to go out and start talking to their employees in a different way and ask them for instance, But you really are just opening up the fire hose without any real understanding of why you’re asking the question what you’re looking for in receiving that, you know, that input and what you intend to do with it. So I do a lot of groundwork with the leaders that I work with prior to kind of setting them free to actually interact with employees in a different way. Because communication is, is absolutely critical. But it’s got to be done the right way. Because communication, you know, with with a poor intention, a bad focus, you know, or lack of clarity. Drive the people you want to stay out the door, right? conversely, if you if you focus on clarity, which is the very first so we kind of work on self awareness a bit.

20:46  

Sure. Well, first,

20:48  

I Oh, it’s absolutely first, um, you know, but but, you know, you mentioned before, do I just kind of loosen the reins and let them practically run amok? And the answer to that is, it is a hard No, because that doesn’t work in every culture, right? And we don’t know what your culture is like until I kind of get in there and really understand what’s authentic, right? Are you really an entrepreneurial culture? Or do you just say that because everybody says that, and some are right, but some absolutely are not. So it’s about getting clarity around why you your particular business, exists in the first place? Sure why you each of you, leaders around the around the circle, are in the role that you’re in, right? And why that matters to the business. Once you kind of understand you know, what you’re in business about, and why that matters. You’re about 80% of the way there in the business, because the rest of it is around. Okay, now we’re crystal clear. Now we’re completely aligned at the leadership level. Now we can go out and talk to employees, not to impart the two stone tablets, you know, coming down the mountain with your 10 commandments, sure, but really to understand, we are now in alignment at the highest levels of the company. We’ve never worked before. And we’re crystal clear on what that horizon is that we’re aiming toward. Now, let me share that with you. And I want you to tell me what that means to you. Yeah, that shows you’re having meaningful conversations. Yeah,

22:14  

it’s been in love with what you do in the service of the people that you serve. And that also love what you do as well. So thank you for sharing that. So I asked you this before, but I want to get your take again, but we’re going to get in that DeLorean with Marty McFly again. We’re going to go back to the 20 to 23 year old clear I don’t know if there’s chance Chandler there but go back to Claire If not, okay, what kind of knowledge nuggets you drop it on her to help her level up, kind of push through? And maybe shorten learning curve a little bit?

22:41  

Yeah, I love that question. It’s, I don’t know if it’s ironic or just kind of, you know, predictable that it’s a lot of the advice that I give leaders now. Right? It’s, it’s, it’s Yes, the self awareness. But you know, I was I was always an introverted kid. I you know, I spent a lot of time kind of doing my own you know, pursuits, we win friends or, you know, down the block. We were always getting together to play spud or blade play Braveheart or whatever. Um, but other than that, you know, we didn’t have we were, I was the last kid on the block to get cable, let alone in Atari, you know, in controller would be a Telenor?

23:19  

Yeah, so it’s like so so for me, it’s, it’s the self awareness piece was never really an issue. It was the authenticity. And what I mean by that is, I had to give myself permission to be my Goofy, sarcastic, irreverent irreverant self and not try to fit within the box that corporate handed me to say, this is what you play in love that didn’t do that at 23 at 23 I was proving myself and paying my dues and this and that, and all that’s important. But I did that, and also held myself in check. Sure. So you know that the 49 year old would tell the 23 year old it you know, you don’t have to worry about the self awareness you’re almost too self aware to be authentic to that and be your goofy self because that’s going to attract the right businesses, the right right people to your to your orbit.

24:16  

Love it. And so let’s get to our dash then, you know, that little line between your incarnation date and expiration date? How do you want Claire to be remembered in that dash epitaph or your legacy?

24:27  

Ah, you know, that that family was always first. You know, you have used the word love a couple of times here and I love that because you keep using it in the context of business. I want everybody that I have come across in my personal life, my family life, my professional life, she know that that I acted out of love and out of service to that love of it.

24:52  

That’s, you know, my coach and I, I go through the extreme leadership kind of a Steve Farber, you know, and it’s Love is everything. To me, no matter what it is in life, whether it’s with my lady or with my friends and whatnot, there’s a genuine love that I have for them. And it took me a minute to really understand what that was. But that comes with wisdom and age, and whatnot. And with that, if you could be one age for the rest of your life physically, while still being able to level up with your wisdom, and when At what age physically physically, if you could stay that age for the rest of your life, what would it be? 1717 Okay, I love it. I’m a 28 to 32 guy, but 17 is good. I’ll tell you what, 1718 and she’ll be able to gain wisdom you have no problem getting out of bed. You feel fantastic. Exactly.

25:42  

You’re on your knees don’t crack like popcorn yet.

25:46  

So what’s three things Claire can’t live without?

25:51  

My chinchilla? Who is my office mate, he’s sleeping right now fortunately, because starts barking it’s kind of weird. I’m just you know, that my my family and that’s kind of all inclusive. It’s my, it’s my husband, my parents etc. And, and just a fulfilling day. Whether that’s, you know, working with great clients, or having a great golf round with my dad, like just a fulfilling day. Love it.

26:16  

I love it. So what would your definition of a life would be?

26:21  

Um, play? I’m gonna say playing full out. You know what, and I’ll and I’ll just kind of zone in a little bit professionally when I am with a client. I leave it all out on the field. Sure. I’m to the point where if I’m, you know, if I’m spending a full day with a client that next day, I’ve got a schedule in total me time because the adrenaline the adrenaline rush is amazing. I don’t know if you experienced this, like, oh, I’ve got to refill the bucket. Oh, yeah. That’s kind of big for me.

26:51  

I used to do podcast interviews on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I’m sorry, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. And I tell you I get up for these if you haven’t noticed she like I’m ready to rock but if I’m having to do it two days in a row, the Wednesday people were getting the shitty end of the stick versus what I’m giving my Tuesday.

27:10  

Yes, they’re not kidding. You playing Fallout? Right? Lack of desire. It’s it’s lack of the lack of the 17 year old. Yeah,

27:16  

exactly. Exactly. I love that. I love that. So as we wind things down here a little bit, Claire, we’d like to do our leveling up lightning round. Okay. And these are quick answers. Five seconds, no explanations ready to level up. Yep, here we go. What is the best leveling up advice you’ve ever received?

27:39  

Ah, I would say stop second guessing your gut and just go out and take the leap.

27:46  

Love it. share one of your personal habits that contributes to your success.

27:51

28:55  

Best way to find me is Claire Chandler dotnet.

28:57  

Okay, they’re channeling that in squat. She’s also written a book, which you can find it on Amazon or even her website, maybe even a better place to go. But it’s called the Whirlpool effect she dropped a couple years ago and I know she has another book coming out with Ben or it’s out as well right now what’s out now? Yeah, we’re talking about Claire right now. And what I want to do for you is the first person that comments on either the time to shine today Facebook page, LinkedIn, Twitter, post, whatnot, I want to give you a free book signed by Claire and the way that works is I’ll purchase the book, send it to Claire, Claire will sign it and hopefully she’ll take care of the postage to mail it out to you. If not, I can Venmo or the money but it should be okay. That’s okay. Um, but she’ll mail it out to you and to be signed directly to you. So make sure that you go on comment and then we can get that book out to you as soon as possible.

F, the F, I love that and squad. You just had basically a free masterclass with my really good friend, Claire Chandler here, who is a corporate survivor, you know, she found a voice in the silence that she had when she was going through a very precarious situation. You know, she’s gonna remind us to not wait for perfection and to take your shop, to be self aware and to be authentic. And with that authentic authenticity. She wants us to be in touch with who we are and also realize who we are not. You know, she’s going to tell us that company, culture starts from the top down, not the grassroots bottom, but from the top down. So if you’re a leader, and you think that you can level up your culture, your culture needs love, please get with me. I’d love to make introduce introduction to Claire, you know, she’s going to give your self permission again, back to authenticity to be yourself. Give yourself that permission to be yourself to play full out stop second guessing. And remember that the worst biggest enemy is the two words if only so her advice is to F the F.
