Kelly who? You may not be familiar with Kelly Cutrone if you don't watch reality television. Kelly is the founder of People's Revolution, fashion PR agency based in New York and Los Angeles. She became famous as the mentor of Whitney Port in The City, MTV's reality show focused on career.
Whenever she appears on the show, Kelly reminds viewers that women do not have to do office politics, drama and be sensitive at work as it is expected from them. She now has her own reality show Kell on Earth on US network Bravo and recently published a career advice book entitled: "If you want to cry, go outside".
On her company culture, she said: " [...] the office atmosphere I cultivate is nothing like the cultural stereotype of striving women clawing each other to death to get the queen bee’s job. Women have been taught that, in order to get ahead, we have to be secretive and plotting and manipulative, because a straightforward route to the top hasn’t always existed for us, and in many industries it still doesn’t. But I don’t believe in playing into these stereotypes. We don’t have to stab each other in the back, we don’t have to take things personally and break down when we’re criticized, and we don’t have to advance at each others’ expense."
Here's her top three career advice:
1. "If you have to cry, go outside"
2. "You'll find as you set out to follow your dreams that most people don't really want you to transcend into what you were born to do. Perhaps they are scared for you, perhaps they don't believe in you, or perhaps they're just nasty, negative naysayers. Whichever it is, I advise you to stop sharing your dreams with people who try to hold you back."
3. "You need to appoint yourself manager of your own personal brand. Don't blend in. People who are out making a difference in the world, are not like everyone else. Good brands are authentic, focused and consistent."
