Careers are built not by meticulously planning every detail, but by embracing unexpected and unimagined opportunities.
If you are looking for lots of laughs and lots of learnings, this is a conversation you cannot miss.
The episode is called: Embrace the Unexpected
My guest today: Brenda Bence has built mega brands for Fortune 100 companies like Procter & Gamble where she headed multi-million dollar brands, first based in the U.S., then in Europe and then in Asia.
Then in 2002, at her career peak, Brenda made the leap, and started her own coaching business, which now has offices in Asia and the US.
There’s so much in this chat:
-How Brenda got hired right out of university, and how she turned a NO to a YES
-How she got hired by P&G (lots of giggles guaranteed)
-How she got hired by her very first paying client
Each story is unforgettable and the 51 minutes fly by!
Join Brenda and me in the unexpected and fascinating journey through her very successful and very squiggly career. You won’t fail to be inspired!
