EP 16 Maya Connet, The power of sponsors vs mentors, hiring based on skills, the road to running the show

Maya Connet joins me to catch up! We worked together years ago and since our overlap she has gone on to grow through the leadership ranks at Clari and now runs the New Business Sales and Business Development organizations at Tropic. 

She shares how she's navigated her career, the 5 quantities she uses to evaluate sales candidates, the value of working with an executive coach (and some of the frameworks and coaching that has helped her most) and being a mom of 2 under 4 as she takes on an executive leadership role at a Series B tech startup. 

If you are thinking about or planning on going on a leave soon or at any point in your career, this is a must listen. Maya had two promotions WHILE she was on leave. She shares her experience and how it has shaped how she supports her team in their development.

There is so much to learn and resonate within this conversation.
