OhHello - Toccara Baker

Episode 53 of the OhHello.io 🌞☕️ vod/pod is here!

This 1:1 mentor interview features a stellar “wearer of many hats” "do'er of many cool things" and “explorer” that attracts smiles + respect from colleagues and friends everywhere she goes. In fact, this featured OhHello.io mentor is so talented , and well-liked, that she has the distinguished honor of being a citizen of both the US and the UK!

A seasoned pro w/ a wealth of experience in the Advertising and Marketing industry, this “Hello” (what we refer to as an OhHello.io mentor/expert) has spent 15+ years working in Chicago, San Francisco, New York, and London.

Toccara Baker is a Senior Director of Marketing at TripleLift. She’s held roles at Snap Inc., Adobe, TubeMogul, Inc., Publicis / Publicis Groupe / Starcom, and more. A member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated sorority, and a graduate of Northwestern University, this “Hello” is ecstatic to be a mentor on the OhHello.io platform (where you'll see Toccara and dozens upon dozens of additional faces, in November and beyond, as we're finishing-up our soft launch)

Some tidbits from this convo:

-Using the North Star of saying "YES!”

-The truest form of mentorship is ”guiding people to the decision that’s inside them"

2 best pieces of advice:

💡 Not making a decision is a decision within itself

👟 Run until you get tackled. Just keep running.

Big ups to Toccara's mentors: her close friend, that's like a big sis: Zarpana Kabir (big ups to Z!). A nod to her old friend/colleague, Cristina

Toccara also wants to call out 2 special members of her personal Board of Directors- Phil Cowlishaw ( 🐨 ) and Philip Duffield ( 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 )

We recorded this one a while back (thanks, TB), but it felt nice to re-watch and hear Zarpana, Phil, and Phil's names ❤️❤️❤️
