What do you enjoy most about being in your current role?
The people, hands down. I do love people; I get my energy and thrive from others. Back in college, I even took a Myers-Briggs personality test and was literally off the chart as an extreme extrovert.
Marketing is definitely the perfect realm for that. I would say marketing, communications, PR, even sales, where it's by default a lot of high-energy, extroverted folks. Now, granted, not everybody is always high energy in marketing, and you don't have to be to have a successful career.
Overall, I would say the people are really what makes me tick and thrive. That would probably be my most favorite aspect.
I guess the other component is that I get exposed to so many different types of people. On any given day, I could be working with a hundred different people around the world. It's exciting to understand and get to know other people's perspectives, their diversity of thought, and get exposure to their way of life and thinking to really come to the best end result for the business.
