Ep. 61 Sipping Success and Lessons in Leadership with Kaitlyn Parker [Copy Uncorked]

Here’s 1 of the 398,402 things nobody teaches you when building a brand and becoming a leader:

Your external brand ≠ your internal company culture. Just because the world sees your brand in a certain light doesn’t mean your team has to march to that beat behind the scenes.

Few people know this better than Kailtyn Parker of Copy Uncorked. Her business’s brand is strategically drenched in wine culture, but don’t let that fool her – their internal culture isn’t exactly what you’d expect.

Tune in to hear Kaitlyn’s approach to leading a team that's as intentional and well-thought-out as her iconic brand. Bring your favorite glass because she’s pouring up insights on:

🍷The critical role of culture-driven hiring, especially when your brand and your culture aren’t one in the same 

🍷The role of personality tests, method acting, and mirroring in effective leadership

🍷How “remaining in choice” steadies the wild ride of entrepreneurship

🍷Lessons in leadership from her days at Lululemon

🍷Putting a premium on Subject Matter Experts when hiring a lean team

We always knew Kaitlyn is a wordsmith, but dang – the wisdom she drops in this episode is *CHEF’S KISS* for anyone trying to step up their leadership game.
