On this episode of GTM Gals, I’m thrilled to welcome Ashley Levesque, who's here to chat all things navigating promotions, salaries, and becoming a people leader.
Join us as Ashley opens up about transitioning from an executive assistant to now VP of Marketing at Banzai. In our conversation, she lends insight into the journey of becoming a respected people manager and the tactical approaches for navigating the often intimidating conversations surrounding promotions, pay raises, and charting a personal career path that aligns with one's core strengths and desires.
How do you go from an individual contributor to a people-managing leader? What are the keys to addressing tough dialogues with vulnerability and confidence? And when the moment comes to discuss compensation, how do you prepare for this financial frontier? Ashley brings to light the need for impactful communication, mentorship relationships, and the significance of self-knowledge when advocating for your worth in the workplace.
Whether you're bracing for a promotion, aspiring to manage a team, or negotiating your next salary, this episode will equip you with the wisdom to lead with purpose, negotiate with tenacity, and recognize the transformative power of saying 'yes' to growth opportunities. So grab your notebook and a drink, and tune into a conversation that might just give you a little boost for the next opportunity that comes your way. ✨
