Surviving Covid-19: 7 books, 2 podcasts & 1 periodical later.
LinkedIn
July 21, 2020
There’s no doubt Covid-19 has transformed how people are spending their time. From what I have heard, many are busy binging on Netflix, others have developed an obsession with the news; while many are busy taking up new and old hobbies or a combination of all of the above. Of course, for the suddenly unemployed, finding a job has been a nerve-racking focus. For me, it’s been more miles riding on my bike and feet hiking, more time with my children and partner...and more time to escape to my books.

Creating Career Paths in Customer Success
linkedin
January 17, 2019
The Customer Success Association (CSA) continues to grow its resource library. I recently contributed a piece on 'Career Pathing in CS' - it doesn't have to be linear. In my 10+ years of on the ground CS experience and now as an executive coach, I know first hand there are so many opportunities to learn and grow in the profession. As a team leader, you need to enable CSMs to grow with the company or leave. Turnover is high - esp in the Bay Area. Mikael Blaisdell includes some stats on turnover in the profession from his research as well in this piece. How are you keeping your CS teams engaged?

September 08, 2018
I recently learned that California will be the first US state to require women on company boards. After joining two boards in the past year, I felt inclined to share my personal story in seeking board positions and why having women, and people who represent the different buyer personas matter.

Customer Success Matters in Business - MBA Schools are Taking Notice.
linkedin
August 17, 2018
Business schools today are recognizing the importance of customer success and customer marketing as part of a bigger business strategy. USF recently started offering an MBA program with a concentration on customer success and insights, further confirming the need for schools to put an emphasis on growth through customer relationships. When I went through an MBA program recently, I told the Director of the Program and the Head of Marketing that while the education I received was invaluable, the piece that was missing for me was a lens on Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and the metrics around success in this business model. We live in Silicon Valley, after all, and SaaS is a massive economic driver here.
