Ask 12 Italian grandmothers for their special tomato sauce recipe, and you will get thirteen different answers. They will all use tomatoes, olive oil, basil… but the quantities will vary, as will the one special ingredient everyone has. A business is the same: it is the combination of service, values, and culture that makes each one unique. Rebecca Brizi brings management consulting services to small businesses, examining each of her clients to discover what their special, unique recipe is, and to build a plan for all those separate ingredients to function well together, so the business owners can focus on what they do best: their craft. 

Rebecca built her career managing the many moving ingredients of a software company, joining at the initial startup phase and moving the company through a major product change, to establishing a new office and subsidiary company in the United States. This office was generating more than 45% of the company’s business growth (by volume and value) within 3 years.

Jessica sits down with Rebecca to talk about the creative side of management consulting, how creativity can be seen in multiple professions (not just the Arts), and some fantastic ways to approach learning and development in our creative careers.

For many expressive folks, our productivity is divergent. It doesn’t fit a 9-5 routine or trendy coaching tips. And yet! Many of us find unique ways to produce–creatively–while also thriving in the commercial world.  How I Create Me hosts conversations with these remarkable humans.  We’re gonna chat about how we craft our personal and professional selves. How we build identities and skills.

We think they deserve attention. We carry them through life, but sometimes, if we’re lucky, they also carry us.

It can be discouraging to consume business-oriented content. It’s usually laden with pithy advice that doesn’t apply. And there’s a frustrating spectrum of opinions. We’re told to stay true to our idiosyncrasies, profits, and performance reviews be damned. We’re told to rein it in if consumers or corporations aren’t buying our personal brand.

So, as we mitigate these tensions, instead of “one-size fits all” tips and tricks, we’ll be sharing: 

👉 Distinct stories from our creative journeys

👉 Impediments we’ve overcome--or are still wrestling with today

👉 Insights we’ve gathered along the way

There will be some quirky questions. And you’ll get to know us better as the remarkable humans we are…

I hope you’ll join us.  Together, we can find resonance in each others’ stories. We can find the courage to keep going--or the wisdom to try something different.

So come get amongst it.  Join the HICM Family at HowICreate.Me.
