OpenAI chairman's career advice? Remember what Eric Schmidt told Sheryl Sandberg about joining Google.
OpenAI chairman Bret Taylor believes you shouldn't allow pride to stand in the way of success. If someone offers you a seat on the "rocket ship," you don't ask which seat, you get on, he said, recalling Eric Schmidt's conversation with Sheryl Sandberg. Flexibility and perspective are key in both your career and life, he said on an episode of the "Grit" podcast. Bret Taylor, the chairman of OpenAI, believes that if you have the chance to attach yourself to success, you shouldn't let ego get in the way. "I think this is the quote I always heard, was Eric Schmidt to Sheryl Sandberg: 'If someone offers you a seat on a rocket ship, don't ask what seat,' you know? I like that philosophy of life," Taylor said on an episode of "Grit." At the time, Sandberg, who would famously later become Facebook's chief operations officer, was deciding whether or not to join a different tech company: Google. Google was a tiny fraction of the size in 2001, with fewer than 300 people. Eric Schmidt had recently been brought on by cofounders Sergey Brin and Larry Page to be CEO. Sandberg talked about her conversation with Schmidt during a speech to Harvard students. "So I sat down with Eric Schmidt, who had just become the CEO, and I showed him the spreadsheet and I said, this job meets none of my criteria," Sandberg recalled. "He put his hand on my spreadsheet and he looked at me and said, 'Don't be an idiot. Get on a rocket ship. When companies are growing quickly and they are having a lot of impact, careers take care of themselves. If you're offered a seat on a rocket ship, don't ask what seat. Just get on.'" Sandberg did end up taking the job, and joined as the general manager of Google's business unit, which had four people at the time. "I do think, especially in Silicon Valley, there's just unique moments, and you just have to be self-aware and aware of the market," OpenAI's Taylor said. Beyond being ready to jump at opportunity wherever it comes knocking at your door, remaining broadly flexible is also important, he added. "Most of the unhappiest people I know are rigidly following a plan and not observant of their own happiness or observant of the opportunities around them," Taylor said. "I actually think that a big part of life is recognizing when there's a unique opportunity that you didn't plan for, and asking yourself the question, 'Should I change my plans?' Whether that's in your personal life or your professional life." Taylor's own career spans Big Tech and startups alike — from leading the team that helped create Google Maps and acting as co-CEO of Salesforce, to founding his own AI company, Sierra. "The idea of sitting on the sidelines, and drinking a mai tai on a beach, doesn't give me joy at all," he said. "I want to build." Just as Taylor was leaving Salesforce, ChatGPT was released. After a conversation over lunch with his cofounder, Clay Bavor, Taylor said the decision to start Sierra was set. But even if he wasn't heading this particular company, he added, he would still be working in an adjacent sphere. "I would be building open source software if not running a company right now, because I just want to work in the technology and help shape it," Taylor said. "Because it's the most exciting technology of my memory, and I want to play a part in shaping how we all use it." That's another key piece of Taylor's personal philosophy: being as involved as possible in shaping the trajectory of the world. "There's this Alan Kay quote: 'The best way to predict the future is to invent it.' And that is like, my operating principle," he said. "I want to impact the future, and I want to help invent it."

How To Craft Your Personal Brand Statement – And Why You Must
Photo credit When people hear the term personal brand statement, they often think of a catchy bio or a quick elevator pitch to impress others. But that's not what a true personal brand statement is about. In fact, your personal brand statement isn't even for public consumption. It's for you. It's a clear, powerful reminder of what you uniquely bring to the table, and why it matters. Your personal brand statement is the output of the first phase of the personal branding process, called KNOW. In the KNOW phase of the personal branding process, you uncover your brand through self-reflection and soliciting feedback from those who know you. All strong brands are based in authenticity, so you need to be keenly aware of who you are and what's important to you to build a powerful personal brand. Your personal brand statement is a distillation of that self-awareness. In a noisy world where differentiation is everything, crafting a personal brand statement is one of the smartest things you can do for your career. Think of it as your north star. It's a personal, private guide that keeps you on-brand, aligned, authentic, and intentional. If you don't define your brand, others will do it for you—and they may not get it right. Without a clear internal compass, you risk sending mixed messages, making it harder for people to understand the value you deliver. Your personal brand statement: And because it's for you—not your LinkedIn profile or your resume—you can be completely honest. It's a no-spin zone. It captures your unique promise of value in a way that's real, raw, and resolute. To be clear, your personal brand statement is not: Those are the ways you share your brand story with others. Think of your personal brand statement as the source code for those career communications. It's the clean, distilled articulation of who you are at your best, the value you deliver, and the impact you want to have. It's not marketing, it's meaning. Creating your PBS doesn't have to be complicated, but it does require honest self-reflection. Here's a simple process to help you craft your statement. What are your superpowers - the talents, skills, and qualities that truly set you apart? Think beyond your job title. Maybe you're a people connector, a creative problem solver, a strategic visionary, or an empathetic leader. Ask yourself: Who benefits most from what you offer? Even though the brand statement is for you, knowing your audience helps clarify your value. Are you empowering emerging leaders? Revolutionizing tech operations? Helping brands tell better stories? What happens when you do what you do best? What's the tangible or emotional difference you make? What allows you to deliver impact? For example: Your personal brand statement should sound like you. Not a corporate robot. Not a résumé machine. Choose words and phrasing that feel natural and real to you, and avoid trite business jargon. Weave the pieces together into a short, powerful sentence or two. It should feel energizing, grounding, and true when you read it back to yourself. If you want a little assistance to make it feel on target, consider soliciting the help of your favorite AI platform. Paste your draft and tell it how you would like to improve it. AI is very helpful throughout the entire personal branding process. Of course, the more your AI platform knows you, the better the results will be, so introduce yourself to AI. Here are a few examples to inspire you as you craft your own: These aren't resume fodder or marketing taglines. They're genuine, personal declarations of value. Once you have your statement, treat it like your personal leadership mantra. Use it to: Over time, your statement may evolve as you grow. Regardless of how it changes, it will always serve as a powerful mirror, reflecting who you are at your best. In a world obsessed with selling yourself, it's easy to lose sight of the real you. Your personal brand statement brings you back to center. It's not about impressing others. It's about expressing, honoring, and living your unique promise of value every day. The best brands aren't manufactured. They're magnified. It all starts with knowing, clearly and confidently, who you are. William Arruda is a keynote speaker, author, and personal branding pioneer.

Florist has 'looked after town' for 100 years
A family-run florist which has played a part "in so many people's lives" is celebrating 100 years in business. June the Florist was opened in 1925 by Bessie Eaton and is now ran by her grandson Peter Eaton and his wife Liz, who are marking the occasion by asking customers to share memories and photographs of the shop. Peter and Liz said: "We have played such a part in so many people's lives over many years, we would really love everyone to be part of our history together. "We owe a huge debt to all the dedicated and talented employees that have worked alongside us over many years as a family business." Peter said he was brought up in the shop and remembered ladies parking outside in chauffer driven cars and collecting their flowers for the weekend. "I remember being here throughout my youth because my family worked here seven days-a-week and at that time there was no such thing as childcare," he said. "I had to come along with my parents and grandparents and spend my very early days in the shop which I have to say was a wonderful experience." Liz met Peter when she was 14 and worked as a Saturday girl in the shop. She officially joined the business in the 80s after she and Peter had their first chid. "Southport was a booming town and we had the most amazing clientele," she said. "It was such a good time because in the 80s the high street was busy, everyone was shopping. "We had such beautiful hotels and venues and everyone had big weddings so flowers were fabulous way to fill these big spaces." The shop got its name after Bessie's daughter June, who went onto become very involved with the running of the shop too. Both Bessie and June were heavily involved with the Southport Flower Show, where they served on the committee for many years and achieved the title 'Best In Show' five times. Bessie was also a founding member of the Interflora network, which is now an internationally recognised flower delivery service. "She created quite a difference in the industry," Peter said. The team are inviting customers to join them for the centenary celebration at the Lord Street shop on Saturday between 14:00 BST until 17:00 BST. "I know quite a few old members of staff are coming in and they're bringing their photographs. It's going to be interesting to see old faces that we've not seen for many years." Peter added. "The success of this business for 100 years is based purely on the wonderful people who've worked for us and the wonderful clientele who have been so loyal to us for 100 years. "It's been a privilege to look after the town for so many years as a family I don't think there's many family businesses that keep going for a 100 years anymore so we're very proud of it. It's a team event no doubt. "Bessie would have expected nothing less." Listen to the best of BBC Radio Merseyside on Sounds and follow BBC Merseyside on Facebook, X, and Instagram.
