09 CX Stefanie Pinsley: from Google dropout to rising online branding guru

Stefanie Pinsley had it made – a bright future with a coveted role - being accepted to the super competitive Associate Product Marketing Manager program at Google, the world’s most popular domain.  She was enjoying the fast-paced environment and working on new initiatives, with one of her first roles as Leader for the Home Alone Campaign starring Macaulay Culkin. Then 2020 happened and things changed – working from home, a long-distance move and the stress of the pandemic led Stefanie to realize that she needed a break. While taking a formal leave of absence, Stefanie used the time away to be creative and have some fun on TikTok, sharing marketing tips and ideas – that’s when things changed. In a few short months, she built a following of over 60K! Stefanie knew she was on to something and decided to set out on her Corporate Expat journey.  In this Episode you will learn the benefits of taking a leave of absence, how stepping out of your comfort zone can lead to a new career direction and the importance of self-reflection and mindset work before jumping into the entrepreneur “super-highway”.
