Ep. 19 Career Tips to Motivate You in the New Normal Economy

C2CEO Career-Comeback Stories

C2CEO (Cinderella to CEO) founder Cary Broussard's surveyed 200 national leaders in March and April of 2020. Her research revealed that 68 % of respondents (majority of whom were working women and a family breadwinner) would be willing to change industries/careers as a result of (or in spite of) the global pandemic.
Now that women and men in mid-career, late, and early career stages have been laid off or furloughed, Cary draws on her own experiences and has tapped into the C2CEO network of advisors to provide transformational career and life-changing advice to help those exploring options with a "go-to" support podcast and website for confidence building and career supercharging.
This podcast interview highlights career transition tips.
We learn why a $2.5 billion landscape company hired a hospitality executive to lead their landscaping sales team.
Cary explores how hotel and facilities operator Bob Marshall changed industries and career focus late in his career. She interviews Bob Marshall, now SrVP of Sales with Pennsylvania-based Brightview Landscapes, who was previously with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Accor Hospitality, Accenture, and Delaware North Companies.
Bob emphasizes the value of relationship building, networking, and staying focused on winning.
His tips include being open to opportunities, being trustworthy with team members, and realizing you don't have to be a "sales guy" to be great at sales. At the end of this interview, Cary wants listeners to consider their own transferable skills and how changing industries and careers can be the key to success in our new normal economy.
