I am switching up the blog a bit. It's time to take the Brazen Careerist part off of my blog. It's time for the blog to just be Penelope Trunk, and only my company should use the name Brazen Careerist.
We have been saying this in Brazen Careerist board meetings for about five months. The conversation goes something like this:
Board member: How is the blog redesign going?
Me: Um. I'm thinking.
Board member: That's what you said two months ago.
Me: Yeah. That's true. I'll get some bids.
Board member: It's important the we differentiate the Brazen Careerist brand of the company from the brand of you.
Me: Yeah. I get it.
Then we have a pause in the meeting while everyone is silently frustrated with my inability to make changes.
The truth is that I have always known that I'm going to separate myself from the name Brazen Careerist. I mean, I don't want to be the Brazen Careerist when I'm 70 years old. And anyway, the brand is better for a social network.
So, it's time to take it off my blog. But I'm slow. I'm so slow that I am doing incremental changes as a warm up. And, also, as a way to make the board think that I am not constipated.
So the first change is that I added a section on my blog sidebar titled: My life disguised as career advice. And the list in that section contains topics that make sense for my blog, if it is separate from Brazen Careerist.
I think I will keep rejiggering my sidebar categories. I'm sick of the categories I have had. What's up with time management being a separate category from productivity anyway? What was I thinking?
The other change is that I have agreed to do weekly, live video chats. I want to tell you they will happen at the same time every week, but my life is not so streamlined. Fortunately, Ed, our CEO, who is all over me to start doing these video chats, has come up with the idea that the banner ad on my blog, which surely none of you even notices because it never changes, will now announce the weekly topic and the weekly time.
Frankly, I'm more excited about changing my categories, but I'm also excited about making Ed happy. I have found in my career that the only time I have a good job is when the person who manages me is happy with me. So that's the topic of this week's video chat, Managing Up: How to make your boss love you.

As a reader, I'm OK with Brazen Careerist having its own place. (Like a former husband getting his own apartment.) I thought of you as "Brazen Careerist" *before* you relaunched the site as a social network. But since the relaunch the two brands don't seem to mix as well — the BC type doesn't even suit you. I like you standing alone. So while you may have a little trouble adjusting, we're fine out here.

I noticed the banner INSTANTLY, and I think it's brilliant. And, I think separating BC from PT is brilliant and will allow each to flourish. Cheerios to all.

Super excited about the video chats. Only thing I can add is that evenings are great when people have busy work schedules during the day. Either way, thank you!!

I am thrilled about this separation! For the past 2.5 years, I have read this blog in spite of the career advice, not because of it. And whenever a commentor would complain about you veering off the career advice track, it'd remind me that I was a voyeur who was much more interested in your insights about life in general. I've got totally renegade views about "career." In fact, I advocate the burning of resumes. So I never identified with your blog name. But I couldn't stay away from your writing. Goodbye BC. Hello PT.

Great to hear about your changes. Agree with comments above as well…we listen to YOU and I enjoy the career stuff too. As for the boss loving me…well I guess I have a ways to go on that one. Work hard, but Asperger's kiddo takes its toll on my energy and enthusiasm big time, so often I am exhausted and don't even want to be at work. So that is a challenge I will have to face if I want to be employed for a few more years at least.
Thanks P and looking forward to keeping up with you as always.

I found you because of the affinity between your career advice and the job hunt and professional development information I provide. However, just like you I find myself writing more and more stuff that's less "profesional" and really "personal development." We seem to moving in the same direction and I recently divided my http://www.CareerJockey.org blog "professional development" category to "professional development" and "personal development."
What I've found is that's the area where I'm having the most fun writing and the area where I have the strongest following. I will continue to follow you and see where we both evolved.

When attempting to sign up for your inaugural video chat, I was directed to either "sign in" or "login above" (as a member), so I logged in, then received the error, you are not permitted to view this page. When I clicked on the Home tab, it took me to my Brazen Careerist home page. What to do now?

I've been ignoring the Brazen Careerist aspect for months. Maybe even a year. I'm happy for you to tell me what you do over there, but happier when you tell me what you do where you are.

i've never participated in a video chat & not sure if i'll be around at the right place/time, but i SO want to hear PT's thoughts re managing up (something i've never been good/ effective at).
so, i signed up for a BC account …. i'm looking forward to learning how to Show My Boss The Love !

Hi P-
Problem. On my screen the ad doesn't show a day/time for the video chat. Someone else mentioned expecting it on thursday but the only information I see reads: Live Video Chat with PT how to make your boss love you. Sign up here.
Included a day/time on that bar would be fantastic. As a brazen member I've had a chance to see/hear you in video chat before and I'd love to do so again … I'm thrilled that they will be scheduled and linked from your blog from now on.
Good luck with the changes!

I, for one, am happy that you will be inconsistent with the timing. I'd love to watch, but it's always some unreasonable hour in Oz when you put them on. I live in hope that you will do some early morning or late night sessions.

You blog is starting to sound like Beyonce. "It's definitely time to take a break, to recharge my batteries. I'd like to take about six months and not go into the studio. I need to just live life, to be inspired by things again. I'm going to do random things. I want to go to restaurants, maybe take a class and see some movies and Broadway shows."
After the break and recharge the batteries, who knows you may decide to change careers? You may decide you want to become a care-free bed jumper. All you need is a camera, a place to put it and a timer (or someone to take the photo).
As a side note, did you know that there’s a Flickr group called bed jumpers? It’s for pictures of people who… well, figure it out for yourself. Makes you curious who in the corporate office is doing this after workday, huh?

Her clients rely on her to help them understand Generation Y’s priorities and passions so they can better build and manage their young workforce.
Pen, notice that it should say teach or reach. I think even high school kids applying for part time jobs know that they should spell words correctly, especially the words in their mission statement. Wow how professional of you to let that out there for how long?

More proof that your idea to separate your professional side from your highly charged personal life is a good one. How can you have editors who let that go? Mock me about a typo, if you will, but that thing has been there for a long time.
I suppose you want to "r"each young professionals. You are neihter young nor professional.

There is a huge difference between typos on a web post and a typo on a site designed to bring someone business. She presumably has editors, and if not, she should. If she does, she should fire them.
I would recover from a typo in an e-mail to my sister, but do I want it on my resume? On my website begging for business? Hell no!!

Nice branding advice here. Most of the times, personalization is one of the most important things in branding. People trust and follow personal stuff.
Additionally, video chat is a good idea.

Even your utilitarian posts about processes have gems in them. This time, it was here:
"Then we have a pause in the meeting while everyone is silently frustrated with my inability to make changes."
I love that line. It's heartbreakingly sweet–kind of a Christopher Guest moment.
Good luck with this change. It will be painful for awhile but ultimately, it should work out for the best, and you'll feel more love from the two separate entities than you would trying to keep them fused. They'll feel more love, too.

I get the seperation. I am not sure if it is a good decision. I guess you have a better understanding internally if both brands are strong enough to stand seperate. I do get the desire to split them, but you have a growing public following. In one sentence you have them waiting to be seperate and in another you have a CEO telling you to host public chats via your personal site. Is it seeprate? You just want to image of seperate? Why not embrace it and develop a way to co-Brand. As I said you have a better view of your corporate needs.

I'm with Wiz. I understand the reasons why the Brazen Careerist CEO wants it to be separate but there were probably good reasons why you gave the startup "your" brand in the first place. It's the name of your blog, the name of your book, and now the name of your Gen Y social network. By making you give up the name, they are making you less indispensable to the company. It works for them, but does it work for readers/members and you? At the very least, you should be compensated and/or protected in some way if you do decide to give up the name. And yes, I know you own a good chunk of Brazen Careerist the company but I'm talking about beyond that.

PS I think perhaps you sense the same thing and this might be the sub-conscious reason behind your reluctance or slowness to change your site.

Thank you for making sense of my quickly written, mistake filled comment.The more I thought about it the more I think BC has an opportunity for being something unique from the other social/career sites and you have the right target audience. You are able to give a personal touch. Give guidance on work, work/life issues, teaching people how to take their real life experiences and leverage them. This isn't something that should be diminished, this is an opportunity to differentiate. It makes it personal coming from PT vs BC. Maybe you need to change the format so it is more a co-brand, maybe wrap it within BC. But this also allows you to broaden the speakers, invite corporate leaders, successful gen y folks, etc. to speak to BC members in a personal way. Not as a BC write up, but as a person reaching out through social media to help, educate, and mentor the up coming generation of work force. I think this is something unique that you have to offer. You are the evangelist. That is not a bad role. My companies leverage an evangelist role, you are just using different venues to do it.

Penelope,
I realize you're not Dear Abby, or even Dear Pen for that matter, but hey, I'm in foreclosure and about to lose my home of 30 years. I'm a gifted strategist and writer-at-large with a resume that includes all manner and mode of social media as well as recent publication of novel in progress in Barney Rosset's Evergreen Review (Issues 116 & 120). I'm not Gen Y, but closer to baby boomer and, aside from contracts gone bad because of bad economy, that's part of the problem. I'm not fresh out of college; I'm fresh and have been out of college for a while now. Do any specific places or contacts or projects come to mind? I've got talent, drive, and extraordinary concepting ability! I'll work to get the job, keep the job, and make the job a go-to position. Thanks for your consideration.

I have to say, if you are doing a redesign, you may want to rethink that orange outline on the video chat banner. It is bit retina-burning.

anybody else get the nagging feeling that P is about to get fired??? i mean i understand why she is not BC and BC is not she.. but it seems like all these actions being taken have been to further separate her from control of the company… just my honest opinion
i rather enjoy how she intertwines work life with personal life, as the two are inseparable most of the time and i'm pretty sick of having to be two different people
Posted by brooke b. on 02/24/2010 at 02:06pm | permalink | Reply to this comment
I was wondering the same thing, brooke, but then P has done this before – start up, get successful, exit. I wonder if this is what is going on…
I struggle to agree with everyone else on here. I see BC as still quite dependent on P for success. I think the board is kidding themselves if they think that they can compete with the other social networking sites out there without a frontman like her to publicise the hell out of BC in such an entertaining and genuine fashion.

I think the CEO is on the right path. PT may be great at bringing traffic, but most people come here to be entretained. It's like having Bret Michael/Rock of Love as the spokeperson of a marriage-oriented dating site.

Change is something to be embraced as change is what life is all about. Letting go is hard sometimes, but especially in business and branding one needs to be sensitive to flows and developments. In the words of Harold Wilson: "He who rejects change is the architect of decay. The only human institution which rejects progress is the cemetery."

I totally agree with you…
My experience in developing websites and software shows that people take changes very badly. For example, when changing a user interface on a software, the first few days is like hell :) We get numerious complaints that the old one was better, why did we have to change it, they like the old one better…etc.
Fortunatelly, the user statistics show that change is good…
People like changes, they are just afraid of it or feel uncomfortable.

Penelope, I love how you brand your website. I first came across your blog some two years ago, stopped reading for a while after that due to heavy workload and now I have re-discovered your blog.

Change happens when the thought of doing it feels better than not doing it. If there is more stress or pain around changing, the status quo wins out.
Have you considered creating some excitement around your metamorphous? How about involving your readership (maybe a post or contest) to help solidify your brand, not necessarily recreate it, because I think you already have it and may not be using it.

Developing a concept or correcting a brand is like child birth. Mind blowing, painful at times with brief epiphanies. then voila' the finished product. I find proper graphical representation the most challenging and gratifying. 13 years of web design, marketing and branding, the more I realize the less I know.

"I think I will keep rejiggering my sidebar categories. I'm sick of the categories I have had. What's up with time management being a separate category from productivity anyway? What was I thinking?"
I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with for the redesign and re-categorization of your posts. The changes to the list of categories will be a process and not easy. It will take some time with a few iterations so if you're going for perfection you should expect criticism and disappointment along the way. :) The guy who maintains this blog should supply you with some meaningful metrics while you're in the process of making changes to the category list. One suggestion I have for you is to consider the use of categories and subcategories. I think this blog will benefit greatly from a streamlined list where your readers will be able to efficiently navigate from topic to topic. Here's another suggestion – make the changes to the category list and write a blog post describing the reasoning behind the changes and request comments. Remember to monitor blog changes with blog metrics so you know what's working for what reasons. Good luck to the incremental blog changes.

The irony of brand building on the net is such a curious numbers game. Make good for the masses and everyone wants to jump your train or bandwagon. That is if you've done your job properly. The degree to which we remain true to our vision and do whats right seems to outweigh those seeking to mimic. Your blog is clear and concise with sufficient creativity for the participant to be inspired to create their own piece of net heaven, not lift the best for rehash.

If the art of succes is making your boss look good to his boss and the art of a good boss is getting his ideas implement by his/her team whilst thinking they are there own then surely the key to this is getting your boss to believe in your ideas and believe that actually they are his own?

I know it must have been hard for you to try to separate BrazenCareerist from Penelope Trunk because you know it's part of you. It took me like a week before I finally signed up for BC. I needed to learn more from your posts before I finally decided I wanna be part of the community of Gen Y.
You are right about being happy when you make your boss happy. I constantly battle my procrastination so I could do that.

The idea to separate your professional side from your highly charged personal life is a good one.
