Long before the C-suite, she knew she was meant to lead. ⭐️

In this episode, Beth Ann Kaminkow (@bakaminkow ) shares how that early ambition shaped her path to CEO of dentsu Americas.

From lining up stuffed animals to give speeches… to leading at the highest levels - her work ethic was always hardwired.

But what stood out most?
Her honesty.

About leadership.
About energy.

She also said something I won’t forget:
Be a serious person if you want to be taken seriously - but don’t take yourself too seriously.

And for women - if you feel that ambition, trust it and keep it alive.

If there’s one takeaway: protect your energy, take your work seriously and never lose your ambition.

For me @ces is all about the humans - ironically in this era of ai, tech and digital the human connections are more valuable than ever before!

Starting the year with CES day 1 of 2026 is exciting. It’s a chance to reconnect, collaborate, convene converse and get curious about the future together. Culture, trends, tech, media, content, commerce and brands all collide in this exciting and innovative playground we call work everyday. Some of us are lucky enough to love what we do and these are all the elements that converge to define the business of our future and the future of our business.

What we think and feel is critical to how we feed the machines that will impact our lives and our future with ai so stay in your humanity, build community, and don’t hide behind our digital world - embrace it and help guide it.

THE SHARPE ALLIANCE is ready for it all!! Let’s go 2026!!! ⚡️💥✨

We all mother and are mothered by many. I was doing a @peloton by @iamicaniwillido and she inspired me with this thought. Although I have an amazing mom @janblakeslee1 so many have stepped in to mother me in different ways. Some stepped in during my youth to provide a little support when strict parents were hard, some mothered from the East Coast when my mom was far away, some taught me how to mother, some mothered through mentorship, some mothered through advice, some mothered me through easing my fears, some mothered by teaching me to care for plants, some mothered by being an aunt, some mothered by being a teacher who saw something in me, some mothered by being a grandmother, some mothered by talking care of us in the Mods, some mothered by teaching me the ways of their son, some mothered by helping through the ups and downs of marriage, some mothered by being there for the little things, some mothered at work when female leaders are few and far between. To mother is a verb. And we all mother every day in different ways. Thank you to all the mothers especially mine who have mothered me over my 48 years.

Last week, VMLY&R honored the centennial of Young & Rubicam, celebrating 100 years of reinvention and countless industry firsts that began with the founding of Y&R in 1923. We paid tribute to two visionaries — Raymond Rubicam & John Orr Young — who made history with an agency founded on creativity. VMLY&R leaders and David Sable, former Y&R CEO, came together to celebrate the impact Y&R has had on the industry, countless careers and modern culture. #WeAreVMLYR
