What's up everyone, today we have the pleasure of sitting down with Ashleigh Johnson, Marketing Technologist at Microsoft. Summary: Ashleigh gives us a glimpse into the enterprise world of martech, and it might not be what you're expecting. She emphasizes embracing the unexpected by seeking diverse roles and rotational programs. Building a personal network within large organizations like Microsoft is crucial for navigating corporate silos. Curiosity and people skills, including shadowing colleagues and effective communication, are paramount. Ashleigh highlights the need for robust documentation and the strategic use of AI for routine tasks to boost productivity. Finally, she advocates for marketers to lead AI deployment, ensuring flexibility and innovation by empowering tool owners to make technology-driven decisions.About AshleighAshleigh started her career at Trend Micro, a global cybersecurity company as a Sales and Marketing Associate with rotations as a Lead Qualification Rep, then a Marketing Coordinator and finally a marketing Ops and Automation associateEventually she would get promoted to Marketing Automation Manager where she was responsible for all things building, QA and campaigns across a variety of martechShe then took on the role of Senior Marketing Operations Manager at Cornerstone OnDemand, a talent experience platform where she rolled out a Content Intelligence tool and a Webinar engagement platformToday Ashleigh is Marketing Technologist at Microsoft on their Platform Operations team where she strategizes and consults on how the martech stack is used across different workstreams of the businessEmbracing Openness in Marketing CareersAshleigh highlights the significance of being open-minded in the marketing industry. She reflects on her early career, noting that she had no idea what martech was when she started. College had prepared her for traditional marketing roles—branding, PR, content management—not martech. She envisioned a straightforward path in these areas but ended up somewhere entirely different.Her entry into martech came by chance, thanks to a rotation program at Trend. This experience unveiled a whole new side of marketing she hadn't considered. Ashleigh stresses that there's much more to marketing than what college teaches. She urges young professionals and students to stay open to various roles and experiences.Ashleigh advises against the narrow approach of targeting only specific job types based on college education. She encourages a broader perspective, exploring different facets of marketing, and being receptive to opportunities that might initially seem outside one's defined path. This openness can lead to surprising and rewarding career paths, as it did for her.Her journey exemplifies the benefits of keeping career options open and exploring the full spectrum of the marketing industry. By stepping outside conventional boundaries, one can discover new and exciting opportunities in martech and beyond.Key takeaway: Embrace the unexpected by diversifying your job search beyond traditional roles. Actively seek out rotational programs or internships that expose you to different facets of marketing. This strategy will help you uncover hidden opportunities and potentially lead to a more fulfilling and dynamic career path.Navigating Martech Silos at Giant CorporationsWorking at a behemoth like Microsoft offers a unique perspective on martech operations. Ashleigh, who has been with the company for two and a half years, admits that the scale still overwhelms her. Coming from smaller enterprises where she handled marketing operations for the entire company, the shift to Microsoft's segmented structure has been significant.At her previous companies, Ashleigh was part of small, global marketing ops teams, typically ranging from three to seven people. These teams managed the martech stack across the entire organization. In stark contrast, Microsoft's martech environment is vast and compartmentalized. Multiple teams handle different aspects, and Ashleigh often finds it challenging to keep track of all the players and their roles.Ashleigh's current role focuses on supporting enterprise cloud products and services, specifically in a pre-sales capacity. There are separate teams for post-sales, gaming, hardware, and other areas, each with their own martech stacks and operations. The sheer size of the company means that even after years, she doesn't know all the teams or their specific functions.Adjusting to this environment has required a significant mindset shift for Ashleigh. She's accustomed to having a comprehensive view of martech operations, working closely with marketing and sales, and understanding the big picture. At Microsoft, she's had to accept a more siloed view, focusing on her specific area and recognizing that she won't have visibility into all parts of the company. It's a continuous learning process, and embracing this limited scope has been a significant adjustment.Key takeaway: When transitioning to a larger organization, prioritize building a personal network within your company. Regularly schedule coffee chats or brief meetings with colleagues from different teams to understand their roles and how they intersect with yours. This will help you navigate the segmented structure and foster a more collaborative and informed working environment.Why Microsoft's Fast-Paced Culture Beats the Slow Corporate MythAshleigh values the collaborative culture at Microsoft. One of her favorite aspects is working with diverse teams and individuals. In such a large organization, there's a role for everything, which means constantly interacting with new colleagues. This variety keeps her projects dynamic and introduces her to smart, creative minds across different domains.When addressing common criticisms of enterprise environments, Ashleigh counters the notion that things move slowly. Contrary to the stereotype, she finds Microsoft's pace anything but sluggish. There's always a project in motion, and new initiatives constantly arise. This fast-paced environment ensures that her work remains engaging and ever-evolving.Another positive is the breadth of experience she gains. Unlike the narrow focus some might expect, Ashleigh's work spans various aspects of martech. Her background in events has expanded to encompass broader martech roles, offering her new perspectives and skills outside her previous specialization. This variety keeps her job interesting and allows her to grow continuously.The enterprise environment at Microsoft provides Ashleigh with both depth and breadth in her career. She appreciates the chance to collaborate with a wide range of professionals and tackle diverse projects, all while maintaining a fast-paced, stimulating work environment.Key takeaway: To maximize your growth in a large organization, actively seek out cross-functional projects that require collaboration with different teams. This approach will not only broaden your skill set but also help you build a diverse professional network, keeping your work dynamic and your career development continuous.Why Curiosity Outranks Experience in Martech CareersCuriosity has been a cornerstone of Ashleigh's career in martech. She attributes much of her success to her insatiable curiosity and willingness to figure things out on her own. Unlike traditional roles with clear guidelines, martech often lacks a roadmap. This absence of predefined instructions demands a curious mindset, constantly seeking to understand how tools and technologies work.Ashleigh enjoys shadowing senior team members, a practice she values dee...

In Episode 24 we chat with one of our listeners Ashleigh Johnson, who has been brave enough to share her story with our community. Ashleigh and her partner started their journey 5 years ago shortly after their wedding. She had come off the pill and still hadn't received a bleed which started to become concerning. Unfortunately, after seeing a fertility specialist, she was diagnosed with PCOS and was told to start ovulation induction medication. The medication was doing it's job and Ashleigh went through the process of doing 2 IUI's, however sadly these did not result in a pregnancy. Wanting to know more Ashleigh underwent surgery for ovarian drilling where they discovered endometriosis. This was then the start of a number of fresh IVF cycles, failed transfers, a case of ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome, a miscarriage but also the conception of her son and beautiful rainbow baby. Ashleigh is now working on baby number 2, however it's sadly already been a rocky start and Ashleigh opens up about how she is navigating this the second time round.

“What can I do now? I personally am like, I can get faster, I can get stronger. I can get more intelligent, mentally I can get stronger. I can become a better teammate, a better friend, a better leader. And  that's motivation within itself,  the opportunity to improve.” - Maggie SteffensToday's guest is Maggie Steffens, Captain of the U.S. Women's Olympic Water Polo team. Our conversation with Maggie was a blast. We touched on everything from how she handled the mental challenge created by the pandemic, her approach to showing up big in high pressure situations and the unique approach she takes with her teammates when it comes to leadership. Throughout our exploration of her mindset on these and so many other topics, the recurring theme that stood out to us was the need in life  to be adaptable. It's very clear that this is one of the key characteristics that has helped Maggie excel at such a high level in her sport for so many years. As you listen to our conversation, you'll discover a few tips you can apply to your life to be a little more adaptable. Show Notes(3:18) Where you can find Maggie and where training is taking place…(5:44) The impact of the 2020 Olympics being cancelled…(8?49) Taking advantage of the “opportunities” that Covid provided…(14:50) “We found other ways to test our bodies and test our minds, and stay active and kind of try to find creative ways to also stay connected through that as well.” Being creative and adaptive in training…(16:20) A last-second shot in 2017…(20:44) “I asked the three biggest girls and then the three strongest girls on our Stanford team to stay after practice for five minutes.
