I'm lovin' it: Morgan Flatley on trying to do hard things and having fun doing it
Guest Morgan Flatley had a job in non-profit consulting after college, but felt motivated more by seeing the female owner run her own small business than the content itself. After traveling a bit and taking personality inventories from her parents’ home, she realized that she loves being around people and ideating creative solutions. This led her to the advertising world, business school, and a career in marketing.
Over the years she has had opportunities to work on some of the world’s most iconic brands. After a decade in product management for Gatorade, she was tapped to head up marketing for McDonald’s USA and, more recently, to become CMO for the global organization, all while being a mom to three small children. Brand after brand, she continued to surround herself with good people, try to do hard things, and have fun doing it. But things get a little crazy when the brand you serve is known by nearly everyone on the planet.
In this episode, find out from Morgan how listening deeply and knowing who you are are key for people as well as brands…on ROADS TAKEN...with Leslie Jennings Rowley.
