Get Out of Line: Step Up, Stand Out and Succeed

When Sarah Robb O’Hagan was starting out as a marketing associate with the Virgin Group, her CMO abruptly left, creating a vacuum in the department. After identifying a lack of leadership, O’Hagan drafted a 30-page marketing proposal, slipped it under the company President’s door, and immediately got promoted. Her career has taught her innumerable lessons about succeeding in life and business, but the most important is this: You don’t get promoted for just showing up and doing your job – you have to get out of line to deliver more for the team and stand out. This keynote will outline:

• Why giving is receiving.
• How problem solving is the single most important thing you can do to get ahead.
• Why you need to take risks and “crash more”—and use failure to fuel your personal growth.
• How to amplify your unique strengths to create growth runways.
