When I stepped into the role of Vice President of Marketing and Communications at a tech company known for its commitment to social responsibility, I was ready to make an impact. However, the transition proved more challenging than expected. With the lack of strategic clarity and being one of the few female executives, I initially found it difficult to assert myself.
Thanks to C3 Effect, I was able to navigate these unfamiliar territories effectively. I learned to assert my voice and ensure my ideas were respected and heard. Despite the hurdles, my focus remained on driving our marketing strategies and reaching our goals. This journey wasn't just about professional growth—it was about personal growth too.

Transitioning from a task-focused role to one requiring strategic oversight as the new senior director of sales was a significant shift for me. I was tasked with developing a sales strategy to meet our annual revenue targets—a challenge I was eager to tackle to make a lasting impression. Initially, my approach was more operational than strategic, which was a gap in fulfilling the role's demands.
Working with the consulting team was transformative. They meticulously walked me through the initial draft of my sales strategy, providing insightful questions and actionable feedback that sharpened my focus and approach. The feedback encouraged me to think more broadly and align my actions with our company's long-term goals. Thanks to this partnership, I successfully presented a well-received sales strategy that aligned with our company’s objectives and culture. The experience has not only prepared me to meet our current targets but has also equipped me with the strategic acumen to drive future initiatives.
