Ep. 33 - This ONE career strategy helped me go from generalist to CPO - a podcast by Courtney Ball

Yes, that’s right. Me, first generation corporate warrior, made it to the c-suite.

Before I cross the 6-figure mark, I didn’t think I was qualified to hold a “director” title. Everyone at that level had 15+ years of experience and none of them looked like me.

Then, something changed. On this episode, I talk about how I made that shift. I'm sharing because I want you to know that it's possible for you too.

Once I shifted my approach, I learned that I had the ability to fast-track my advancement. I could make myself indispensable by aligning my success with the company’s objectives.

In other words, I learned how to communicate how my work makes my employer more successful, more profitable, more efficient. Plus, I do it with a friendly yet assertive demeanor. That’s my leadership brand.
