If you think a successful career is linear, think again. 

This month’s guest, Kelsey Balimtas, has built an impressive career that spans PR, Customer Success, Employee Enablement and Customer Experience. But was it all strategically laid out? Absolutely not. It was a discovery journey.

In her own words,  “Career journeys are not ladders they are lattices. You sorta have to move sideways, take small steps, and sometimes you need to take a step back. But ultimately, if everything you are doing is ins service of building more positive habits, more positive behaviours, you are growing”.

Kelsey shares vulnerably about imposter syndrome, the difficulties of juggling an MBA and work at the same time, and the impact of remote work in her life. 

Tune in, this one is an absolute must!

How does a Channel Consultant become a Product Manager? In this month’s episode of This is Growth, I had a conversation with Robbie McFarlane, an Associate Product Manager at Hubspot.

Believe it or not, there was a time when Robbie didn’t even know what a Product Manager was. In this episode, we will chat through his journey from Channel Consultant, working with Hubspot's EMEA partners, to Program Manager, and now, Product Manager.

Even if Product Management isn’t in the cards for you, I recommend you listen to this episode. Robbie is a modern-day philosopher and has some incredible tips on how to develop your skills and find your purpose.
