I had the pleasure of meeting Natalee through another woman I respect who runs a company called Corefino. What is amazing about Natalee, that rings true in these troubled times, is NOT that she’s been incredibly successful in her career but that she’s been able to do something I call “the hinge.” It’s like a stunt… taking one set of experiences from one industry or role and using it as a hinge to “pivot” from a role in finance to another in marketing & sales.

This is an incredibly important capability and allows people like you to never get stuck in a role or a career path. What you’ll learn from Natalee (above) and Tony Nemelka (CEO of Helpstream, a VC-backed company) an upcoming UpModel is that hinging can help enable more paths of upward mobility.

If I take what Tony, Natalee and other successful role models have done, they look at their career as a series of “projects” or professional engagements… as you look at your career, be thinking about what skills you need to enable your next 1-2 or 3 career “engagements.”
