“My purpose is helping people do their best work by being the best version of themselves,” says Timm Chiusano, a creative executive turned TikTok superstar.
Until a few months ago, Chiusano was Vice President of Production and Creative Services for the advertising and marketing division at Charter Communications. But in his spare time, he was recording every aspect of his daily routine with his phone and editing the footage down into TikTok videos, which he narrates in a stream-of-consciousness style with insights about leadership, productivity, and creativity. Chiusano quickly built an audience of more than a million followers, and he recently left his day job to focus on his social content and upcoming book, How to Get Addicted to Appreciation, due out next year.
In this episode of the WorkLab podcast, Chiusano joins host Molly Wood to discuss the joys of managing, the value of authenticity, leadership strategies for incorporating technology into the workplace, and the value of being mindful and present in your work and personal lives.
Three big takeaways from the conversation:
WorkLab is a place for experts to share their insights and opinions. As students of the future of work, Microsoft values inputs from a diverse set of voices. That said, the opinions and findings of the experts we interview are their own and do not reflect Microsoft’s own research or opinions.
