Zitat des Tages von Mindy Grossman:
At HSN, entertainment has quickly become a core part of who we are and is a key differentiator from others in the retail landscape.
We are continuing to collaborate with Disney on future films and other opportunities.
Content is power in today's world, and if you can own that content, create it and make interaction more of an experience than a transaction, you create a different kind of loyalty.
I believe you have to get rid of toxicity in any company. Don't care how smart, how talented, how long they have been there. If someone is going to create a toxic environment, you have to make a change.
I have this whole theory that whether it's in your personal life or in your business life, you have to establish a culture of generosity wherever you are.
My parents were like, 'Oh my God,' when I said I was going into fashion - they pictured me with a rolling rack on Seventh Avenue.
People don't follow a leader but follow a vision - a vision of what the future looks like and how their work helps them along that path.
At HSN, the experience we create are a significant point of differentiation.
We all work really hard, and we do it because we're passionate. We don't do it because we're being rated. However, we'd all be remiss if we didn't think that some kind of recognition for efforts and accomplishments didn't make you feel good.
We have a highly specialized customer and want to give her the best experience somewhere she can trust.
If you throw the pebble in the pond and the rings start circulating that much wider, you've done things and created things for people that they didn't think they'd ever be able to do. That excites me.
As women, we can over-think things so much that we silence our intuition and only focus on the reasons something won't work.
My first Weight Watchers meeting was when I was 14 years old on Long Island, and I went there with my mother. I'd gained that adolescent weight and wanted to try out for cheerleading... I lost the weight, tried out, and made the cheerleading team.
Ultimately, the ability to inspire people to live healthier and happier lives is what excites me both personally and professionally.
It seemed like I woke up one morning and had an epiphany. I thought, 'I cannot do this. I do not want to get married. And I'm not going to law school - it just doesn't excite me. I'm not wasting anybody's money. I'm going to move to New York.'
When I got my first VP title at 26, my parents finally stopped asking when I was going to get my law degree.
We're not trying to be Amazon, all things to all people.
HSNi Cares was established in 2010 with a mission to empower women and support children and families in need locally, nationally, and globally.
I've always been a risk taker; I've never believed in following the expected path.
We need more enlightened women in senior ranks, and we have to insist that companies are more diverse.
If you go up on a mountain and scream about change, you better make sure you're ready for people to come.
I don't care what we're quote-unquote selling; we're about inspiring people through storytelling.
I've honed in on three questions that I ask myself when I'm evaluating where to spend my time. Is this something that I'm passionate about, is it purposeful, and will I have impact? And if I can't answer 'yes' to all three questions, then I have to sit back and ask, 'Is it really that important?'
I am thrilled to join Weight Watchers and lead the next phase of the company's transformation.
I find out as much from the guy in backstage TV as I do from my C.F.O. Anybody can e-mail me. I do town halls with employees at least once every eight weeks. I'm out there, and it makes a huge difference.
I get as excited walking around a CVS as I do walking around in Bergdorf's.
When people want to lose weight, they get to a point where they are desperate and looking for the new thing that is going to work miracles. But at the end of the day, there is no such thing.
We are increasingly using social media to drive both engagement and commerce. And because we are a commerce platform that integrates content, we believe we have a unique opportunity to make up a high button, a relative factor in social.
Imagining what the possibilities are versus what is right in front of me has been the second biggest factor in defining my career.
I spend all day thinking of shopping. I love the thrill of finding that wonderful, perfect thing, the feeling of your heart racing because it's so right.
When I first started at HSN, I knew that retailers would have to be poised to take advantage of technology and the rapidly changing ways in which people shop. It was one of the things that drew me to the company.
The days of trying to get a consumer to come to you are over. You really have to be in the consumer's world, wherever, whenever and however.
There's no doubt that the Weight Watchers' long-term collaboration with Oprah Winfrey has certainly accelerated the company's progress since October 2015, with high awareness of her success and happiness with the program sparking interest and excitement.
We have to focus on what we can do. It has to be about experience; it has to be about unique product. It has to be about delivering our content as broadly as we can, and that's been a huge effort on our part.
Four out of five HSN corporate officers are women. I'm a believer that a diversity of mindset enables us to have an engaged conversation.
If you think about a business where uncertainty is an anathema, it's around consumer spending, and it's around retail.
