Curating Career Life Stories: How Did I Get Here? Ep. 123 with Sarah Irizarry

Join me for the career reflections of Sarah Irizarry, marketing executive. Her journey is all about learning and growth, taking risks and really knowing her strengths and how she adds value. Typically, the youngest, and only female in the room, she learns how important it is to know her value. Knowledge she gains from her MBA program and developing relationships with mentors that help her succeed through stretch opportunities. What’s served Sarah best: Perseverance and curiosity, she likes to go beyond the obvious to find the right solutions. She’s found that while the first diagnosis of a situation is right, it usually is not the end, but the beginning. Her words of wisdom: “When you’re in transition or stuck, don’t just look inside. We always have inner work to do but check with mentors on next steps and for encouragement. We’re not on an island, there’s so much knowledge outside of us that others hold.”
