Right In the Middle of Things

Season Two - Episode 24

" I will figure it out. And I will learn all of it at the same time. You will. You never know what's going to happen if you just start saying yes to stuff, regardless of whether it makes you scared. Whether, you know everything about it, whether you know nothing about it, you have to trust that you're in the room for a reason.” – Liz Motta

In this episode, Holly & Kristin talk with Liz about:

What is important as you start your career and how to propel yourself quickly
The responsibility of all women is to help other women find their way in the corporate world; sponsor women, mentor women, support women
Help women to lean into the steps they need to move ahead in their careers

Key Takeaways

Curiosity is a “superfood”
Don’t be afraid to ask for what you want
Follow your intuition

Liz Motta -- With a nearly 15-year career so far, which has spanned media planning & buying, social media, data analytics, sports entertainment marketing & strategy, and more...Liz would say she's "right in the middle of it."

A true beneficiary of the women who were trailblazers, Liz has achieved what many of those

trailblazers hoped for those that followed. Lately, she's been realizing that women have so

much further to go...and that she and her peers have a job to do now.

Liz is curious, intuitive, driven, and passionate about people. Liz gets excited about listening, hearing, and then acting. She is the mother of two sons, 7 and 5. She is currently a Vice President, overseeing Insights & Analytics.
