Breaking into the ProAV Industry with No Experience and the Impact of Mentorship
Did you have a grand plan for your career, or did you just happen to find it?In this episode of Don't Just Fall Into It, we sit down with the brilliant Kim Fowler from Kinly to talk about breaking into the AV industry from a completely different sector. Kim openly shares her journey of entering a technical field with zero prior industry experience, how she managed to get noticed, and the biggest hurdles she faced while finding her feet. We dive deep into her experience as part of the very first Rise AV mentorship cohort. Kim reveals what drove her to put her hand up for a mentor, how the Rise community helped bridge her technical knowledge gaps, and the lasting career advice she still carries today. We also explore what it was like being surrounded by a powerful network of women, what makes the AV community so unique compared to other sectors, and how Kim is paying that mentorship experience forward within her own teams today. Whether you're looking to pivot into a new industry or want to know how to maximize a mentorship, this episode is packed with actionable insights on career trajectory, community, and continuous growth.
