In this week’s Bright & Wize podcast, Brize’s founder and CEO, Leslie Ferry, shares a personal experience of how strong soft skills led a Marketing Manager to offer Leslie, an Accountant, a position in Marketing. Leslie had not even taken a marketing class as an undergrad. So this was certainly a significant career change she could never have imagined as a 17-year old when she decided her vocation.

This story is about the unsung heroes and power of strategic thinking, collaborative behaviors, and positive mindsets and how they can bring about exciting opportunities and positive unintended consequences at work.
