Episode notes

The Slack CEO says he almost didn't apply for the academy because he thought at that point, I'd only been in management for two years. "I think I've unintentionally sent the message with the academy of like, Oh, there's a certain level that you need to be at as far as experience" The Academy has every single cohort including folks who are at senior leadership levels and owners of firms. 'We all can really learn from each other in the context of leadership'

Liz Anderson: The PreSales Path Liz Anderson has extensive experience as a solutions engineering leader and is the founder of the PreSales Path. She's also an alum of the Coaching for Leaders Academy. In this SaturdayCast, Liz and I discuss the inflection points she’s experienced in the past year, how intentional focus on her vision and identity helped move her forward, and the value of consistency through it all. Key Points Professional development is about finding the starting points and then adapting as you go. Once you decide on a new identity and direction, the indicators start to emerge on where to go next. When your heart and intention are in the right place, the tactical path is still not easy, but it is clearer.
