She taught business communication at a university for over a decade, analyzed terrorist documents to help provide counter-terrorism messaging strategies to the military, and was a pioneer in the online education space. In 2011, she ventured into entrepreneur land and hasn’t looked back. She’s a VIP Contributor at Entrepreneur, a Livestream Host, and a partner on Entrepreneur’s video network. Now, she runs The Dynamic Communicator®, which creates and executes video and content communication strategies that help organizations increase sales, enhance the product experience, and retain customers.

Please join me in welcoming  Jill Schiefelbein

In this episode we explore:

• her thoughts on leadership: “Leadership is being consistent with all your behaviors and all of your actions in all situations.”
• her motivation for being a leader, starting around age 9, and continuing through her life.
• the new side-endeavor where her goal is to “rid the world of crappy videos one video tip at a time.”
• her biggest struggles surrounding the “riches are in the niches” mindset and how she works to overcome them.
• what she does in her spare time to turn off her busy mind, and how crafting gives her a sense of completeness that offsets the entrepreneur struggle of sometimes not seeing results right away.
• her methods for maintaining relationships, including connecting with people when she travels, and writing a few hand-designed cards each week.
