Today, on International Women's Day, I want to spotlight three leaders who have influenced my professional journey. These incredible women have shaped my career and left an indelible mark on my leadership, strategy, and collaboration approach.
Kati Ryan was my first enablement boss, and she taught me many things. She taught me how to use my skills as a part of a team. She patiently listened to my 100+ ideas on a topic and helped me focus on the best ones. She encouraged and fostered my creativity, which I have used ever since.
Cindy Thatcher hired me shortly after I was laid off in 2020. She helped me navigate an older and larger company than I had worked in before. She encouraged me to stretch from relying on my enablement abilities to working with and leading my fellow global enablement team members.
Shannon Mackinnon was my enablement boss at Medallia. She championed my use of creativity and, more than any other boss, helped me become a better manager (which took much work).
These women are not just former bosses. Over the years, I have reached out to them for guidance, and they have reached out to me. They are mentors, trailblazers, and pioneers who have blazed paths not only for those fortunate enough to work directly under their guidance but also for countless others.
As we celebrate International Women's Day, let's remember the impact that strong, dedicated women leaders have on our lives and careers. To Kati, Cindy, and Shannon, thank you for your leadership, wisdom, and unwavering support. You do not just shape careers; you shape lives.
