Reach your goals. Hold onto your
                  “Powerball”
Responsibility

Is it within my
    power?


                                     Release.

Relationships.                      Let it go and
                                     move on…
Can I propel
outcomes?

things to remember and look for
                                                                                   @HeatherMeza

• Start with “why”: make it meaningful and clear so people can
       change at the core and be able to make the right decisions naturally and
       independently

• Lead with outcomes: Leadership needs to be outcome versus
       tactic focused. Accountability for outcomes vs. rewards for “hard” but not
       smart work is essential

• Be one team: Strategize and plan together, but empower experts to
       play their position and execute

• Hold onto your powerball: Do what’s right for the business. Call
       out bad behavior to understand the root cause and resolve asap

• Fail forward: We don’t have all the answers. Don't be afraid to
       experiment. Learn from your mistakes

                                                                        @HeatherMeza

Editor's Notes

  1. Content Strategy Case Study: Heather Meza, Head of Digital Media Solutions for Cisco Services Marketing shares the reality of making the shift to content marketing within a large enterprise; what it really takes to ignite change and inspire.
  2. Me Pregnant:Two years ago I went on maternity leave. I read about content marketing and it REALLY resonated with me. I read more. I got excited. The philosophy behind CM goes to my core. Its simple and common sense and it has the power to change the problems we face as creators and consumers of content. IMHO, It is the most transformative catalyst to date for marketing.
  3. New leader for Services, new Leader for Marketing, new boss, oh my! If I cant be with my son, then what I’m doing better be meaningful and rewarding. Done with giving up before starting, no more victims, pick up our powerballs!
