You need more than lemons to make lemonade; you need a recipe that gets sweeter with time.
___________
Hello! My name is Sarah and I’m creating my next batch of lemonade after a rewarding three-year grind as an executive overseeing Customer Success & Marketing at Enrichly Technologies Inc., a SAAS startup and agency that delivered an all-in-one customer engagement platform, including e-commerce solutions and marketing support for an overly fragmented, underserved market.
The grind was needed, but my position no longer was. A bitter reminder that lemons still drop, and that means it’s time to adjust the recipe for some amazing, new lemonade.
I’m calling this next batch “Wisdom’s Reserve”.
In the early 2000s, I had a lot of success as a scrappy, boots on the ground nonprofit marketer, followed by some intense growth driving change and saving lives in global pharma. Then, after growing some big britches, I spent years trying to climb the ladder as a gritty team leader in a male-dominated manufacturing industry where I stayed long enough to innovate before jumping head first into the tech startup space post-COVID. With each transition there were new ingredients sweetening my lemonade; lessons that transformed me into the dynamic lemonade maker I was meant to be.
And, I’m just getting started.
My lemonade is changing again, but this time it’s getting easier to make. The first bitter ingredient removed was the insane thought that I NEED to hold a seat at the proverbial table to make a positive impact. I’ve made it sweeter, adding in my unique blend of diverse experience, learning agility, and more of my natural grittiness that has afforded me the cultural competence and perspective I’ll need when it’s time to share this next batch.
