5 minutes with Denise Ocasio

#TeamMindshare believes in Speed, Teamwork and Provocation. As we adjust to working differently, we're continuing to empower people to challenge the status quo, through what we call Provocation with Purpose. We’re proud to be unmistakably #TeamMindshare and make it the place where we do the best work of our career, grow and have fun. Hear from Denise on how she's adapted, what her biggest learning is and how she keeps inspired.

Biggest learning from my career

How you do anything is how you do everything!  I believe that a person’s energy speaks volumes and if you can keep it positive, there is not a challenge that cannot be faced and solved together. Taking pride in my work and ensuring that my team feels pride in the work that they deliver to clients is the best way to keep those energy levels high.

One word to describe the last year?

Perspective. This last year has allowed me to focus on what’s important and how to deliver both professional and personal work that aligns with my core values of authenticity, enthusiasm, and hard work.

Best advice you gave out about working differently?

Take time for yourself in the midst of a busy day.  Even a quick walk around the apartment or around the block gives you the type of clarity you need to deliver your best work.

How have you stayed inspired?

Surrounding myself with my workouts keeps me grounded and hopeful.  I am an avid Peloton user and a Zumba instructor so that energy reminds me how important the mind/body connection is in order to be the best I can be at work!
