Why Success Depends on Saying What You Mean and Meaning What You Say

The latest episode on the Story Power Marketing Show podcast…

Barry Kleiman is a dedicated husband, father, and grandfather who is also a basketball coach turned social entrepreneur. He spent decades in the trenches of executive search and executive development, and he’s now an authority who advocates for truth-based interviewing.

Barry is the author of the soon-to-be-released book, “Successful Interviewing”

Over 5+ decades in the career success and job search business, Barry observed that too many people are unable to say what they mean during human interactions. As a result, their messaging changes like the weather, which drags them off-brand, undermines their integrity and challenges their sanity.

Barry is on a mission to fix that.

Discussed in this episode: 

  • His most significant takeaway after five decades in career success and job search
  • How to interview effectively
  • Using personal stories to grow your careers and community
  • How to stay on-brand and maintain your personal integrity.

Here’s an excerpt video.
