She Left Finance, Built a Brand & Never Looked Back | Monique Sar on Career Pivots, Personal Branding & Entrepreneurship

Monique Sar started out in finance. Not exactly the most obvious route into marketing, talent management and entrepreneurship — but then again, the best career stories rarely are.In this episode, Monique gets honest about what it actually takes to pivot between industries when the odds aren't always in your favour — the rejection, the resilience, and the strategic moves that nobody talks about but everyone needs to know.We get into how she built her career through proximity and relationships, what it really means to develop a personal brand that works for you, and the moment she decided to stop climbing someone else's ladder and build her own.We also talk negotiation, burnout, knowing when to niche down, and why authenticity isn't just a buzzword — it's actually the longest play in the room.If you're navigating a career change, building a business, or trying to figure out what your personal brand is even supposed to be — this one's got a lot for you.⚡ What we cover: → Pivoting from finance into marketing and creative industries → Building a personal brand through storytelling and consistency → Networking, proximity and the relationships that actually move careers forward → Negotiation strategies and knowing your worth → Managing rejection, burnout and career setbacks → When to niche down, when to scale and when to plan your exit → Stepping into entrepreneurship and building on your own terms🎙 She's Lost Control — the podcast for ambitious creatives who are done playing small. 💌 Join #TheChaosClub → www.instagram.com/sheslostcontrolpodcast/
