E041: Choose to Have Fun While Working Hard with Deborah Curtis
There were two pivotal moments throughout Deborah’s life that have led her to a place of joy that she’s in now. First, she had set aside 10 years of experience in the agency business and decided to invest in herself by going to business school. The second life-changing moment for her was leaving her leadership role at American Express where she had worked for over 12 years, and accepting a CMO role in the space of events, hospitality, and experiential. Then the lockdown happened – but this didn’t stop her from taking on another adventure and living the life she wants.
Deborah Curtis is a seasoned marketing executive with over 20 years of experience across a variety of marketing disciplines and industries. Today, she talks about her challenges and triumphs along her reinvention journey, what that growth looks like, and why you should not even wait for some crisis to happen until you make that leap of faith.
Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:
Taking a leap of faith, leaving her leadership role and entering business school
Investing in yourself has no downsides
Choosing to have fun working hard
The ability to pause during a crisis is a gift
Episode Highlights:
Choosing to Have Fun Working Hard
We all have the ability to have fun even at work. It’s just a matter of choice. We’re all entitled to have fun even when we’re working hard and have whatever we want in our lives. It’s just a matter of figuring out how to create it.
Seeing the Gift in Every Crisis
The ability to pause is a gift because you have that moment to reflect on who you are and what you want out of your life. You get to learn, grow, and get to know yourself even better. You realize how resilient you are after all and you dare to push boundaries and challenge yourself. You just have to tap into the parts of yourself that you forgot existed.
Take on an Adventure – Now!
Many brands sometimes wait to change until a crisis comes, and a lot of individuals do the same thing. But you shouldn’t even wait for a crisis until you make any changes in your life. Take a leap of faith and don’t be scared to take on an adventure because there’s so much excitement on the other end which you may never have otherwise expected.
