Hi, I'm AJ Sarcione
I support companies, teams and leaders to spark a willingness to wonder that results in authentic internal brands that shine. C-suite leaders, along with HR & internal communications teams have engaged me to support them in transformations of their cultures, workplaces and sometimes within themselves.
If you’re interested in learning more, I’m always open to a quick chat to see what spark I can help you create.
Anyone who has gone through a major business transformation knows the importance MOJO plays. Having been through a few big ones myself, I’ve learned that it’s the moments when leaders create a spark that fuels this internal magic.
When I was a communications executive at Yahoo, we were going through a major multi-billon dollar change that would result in Yahoo being sold. I noticed the smiles on people’s faces that were usually so bright had started to fade.
I found an opportunity.
I built a global internal marketing organization from the ground up, which helped our CEO inspire employees as Yahoo was bought by Verizon, ultimately to be combined with our long time competitor, AOL. Given the success we had, a new job was created for me, “head of MOJO and employee experience," and I spent the next year flying around the world meeting and motivating employees with our new CEO’s vision. In both roles, I leveraged imagination to design programs and tools that helped our employees shine.
During this time, I witnessed that people who imagined what was possible appeared happier and moved forward more easily.
So I started my company, Get Your Shine, to spark organization’s positive curiosity by helping companies, teams and leaders build authentic internal brands.
