VALERIE GORDON- on the power of a good story

Kelly Season 1 Episode 25

Valerie Gordon has always loved the power of a good story. For many years, she was a integral part of turning those stories into TV magic, as an Emmy award-winning ESPN producer. Three and a half years ago, she started a new chapter in her career. Commander-in-She was born- an organization focusing on the art of storytelling for impact and influence.


In this long-form interview, Gordon shares what the power of story represents, on leading with your current value and how her next chapter is helping other people develop their next chapter.


She shares the intangibles of a good story, why she transitioned out of sports media and why she advocates for actively authoring your career.  Gordon reveals the advice she wish she’d known about career reinvention, tips to stand out in the interview process and what’s in store for Commander-in-She in 2021.


She also explains how she made the transition from producer to front-facing speaker, common storytelling mistakes and why defining your story and brand is going to be more important than ever in 2021.
