S4E42 : Rising Through The Ranks : Malaina Matheus : President : Hudson Valley Lighting Group

Lead With Your Brand!™

Jayzen is thrilled to welcome his friend and client, Malaina Matheus to the show. Malaina started her tenure at Hudson Valley Lighting Group as a coordinator and has continued to grow her career to her current role as company president overseeing the four brands that make up Hudson Valley Lighting Group. She credits her “do the hard work and get things done” attitude as a driver in her career. It’s about seeing what needs to be done, and doing it, as well as knowing your value and the value you bring to the company that allows you to expand your responsibilities and your drive career forward.

For the fans of the show, you know that Jayzen always asks his guest “if you were a type of car, what type of car would you be?” It’s always hard to turn the mirror on yourself and think about what your personal brand words are or how you’d describe your brand. Using this analogy helps get to the root of your style and get your creativity flowing. Are you an off-roading Jeep because you like to take on challenges and nothing gets in your way, or are you an all electric SUV because you work efficiently and have the space for several projects at once. This week Jayzen shares his thoughts and a story taking the analogy even further…asking “what type of shoe would you be?” Tune in to hear his answer!
