With 25 years of experience in branding and marketing, including a background as a brand photographer, Raquel brings a trained visual eye to brand building, helping clients see their brands in a completely different way. In photography and writing, a vignette directs your attention to what's worth seeing, the details that make the story. That's the whole idea behind this show. Most brand problems aren't complicated. They're just things you've never been shown to look for, or never had the clarity to name. The messaging that isn't landing, the audience that isn't connecting, the brand that looks fine but doesn't feel like you, those are symptoms. This show goes after the root. Expect candid conversations, real brand strategy, and the kind of ah-ha moments that make your next move obvious. Because the most engaging, expressive brands aren't built on trends or templates. They're built on the stories and perspectives that were always there, just waiting to be brought into focus.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-25T20:17:17.688557+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-vignette-effect-7229118"},"episode":{"title":"Why Self-Awareness Makes You a Better Leader (with Cara Nance)","slug":"why-self-awareness-makes-you-a-better-leader-with-cara-nance","published_at":"2026-07-03T16:25:28+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-vignette-effect-7229118/why-self-awareness-makes-you-a-better-leader-with-cara-nance","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-vignette-effect-7229118","url":"https://the-vignette-effect.simplecast.com/episodes/why-self-awareness-makes-you-a-better-leader-with-cara-nance-jBv3ulUZ","audio_url":"https://cdn.simplecast.com/media/audio/transcoded/e9ba1900-e6a5-4c37-9e05-af48548c3e3d/5bf5335c-631d-45fb-a655-f70fb46489db/episodes/audio/group/a5120a96-7a16-45b0-8a8a-a4988b3e44b8/group-item/1378df8b-01bd-432b-b485-244a3165dbbe/128_default_tc.mp3?aid=rss_feed&feed=7H9jcliI","summary":"Self-awareness isn't just a personal development buzzword. It's one of the most practical leadership tools you can have. In this episode, I'm joined by leadership coach Cara Nance to explore how understanding your natural strengths can change the way you lead your team, communicate with others, and build your business. We dive into the CliftonStrengths assessment (formerly StrengthsFinder), why it focuses on what's right with people instead of what's wrong, and how founders can use self-awareness to make better decisions, reduce burnout, and create stronger working relationships. Whether you lead a team of fifty or you're a team of one, this conversation will leave you thinking differently about how you work best and why leaning into your strengths is often far more powerful than trying to fix every weakness.","meta_description":"Self-awareness isn't just a personal development buzzword.
