G2’s Post

Check out Junes G2er Spotlight!

This week marked my 4 year anniversary at G2. I was [very] close to being a fifth year in college which was a tough pill to swallow, but ended up barely graduating on time. Yet Ironically, I can say I'm happily going to be a fifth year at G2. Here's 3 quick things (of many) I've learned throughout my 4 years, 5 roles, and the economic shitshow the world has given us since I started at G2 (just 6 months before covid started in 2019) that I think about on a daily basis: 1. Moving up the ladder is the ultimate goal but will likely never be on time. This one took me a while to understand - Trust the process and understand that even if you perform, there is a business need to move up, and much like budget, Leadership can't create a spot out of thin air. (Doesn't mean you shouldn't be asking though) 2. Building relationships whether in your team/segment/region or not is crucial to everyone's collective success. Go out of your way to meet different teams and departments to learn from because when you understand the pieces, you can build the machine (this includes the C-Suite - they started somewhere just like anyone else, and they should understand that). 3. Constantly be learning. The thing i've noticed is that tenure, title, education, etc, doesn't constitute who you can learn from. Learn from new hires and their past company/industry, learn from people in the role you just moved up from that may do things differently and more effective. Don't let your happiness, job safety and the positive sense of belonging get poisoned by the thought of complacency - candidly it's happened to me before and I had a great network to get insights from to understand I want to be at G2. On to the next one my friends 🚀 #sales #g2 #learningandgrowing

✍️One CEO decision. What would you choose?🫵 During our seminars, we've developed a fun tradition. When presentations get a bit lengthy, we break for a quick tournament of Rock-Paper-Scissors. Everyone stands up and plays against the person next to them. The loser then supports the winner in their next face-off. Eventually, we end up with two large groups, each cheering for their champion. Even with 65 people, it takes no more than 5 minutes and it's always a great laugh. This year, we spiced things up by telling the team the winner will get a 'CEO decision'. The winner, an intern, made a wild call – she decided everyone should get Friday afternoons off in August! 🤯 What decision would you have made? PS: HR asked me to share more of our life at LA VIE™ so we get even more candidates for our open positions! If you're looking for a vibrant workplace, go and apply. Follow me for more fun anecdotes and a glimpse into our unique culture.

“There is always someone watching."   Reflecting on my journey, my first job as an HR Intern taught me a valuable lesson – the power of going above and beyond. At 20, still in college, I was eager to embrace the real world and its opportunities.   In the beginning, I tackled simple tasks – making employee changes, securing approval signatures, and crafting offer letters. But I was determined to do more. After completing my assigned tasks, I would approach my Manager, hungry for more challenges, asking, "I'm done, what else can I do?"   This relentless pursuit of growth didn't go unnoticed. It transformed routine tasks into opportunities to tackle complex responsibilities – from commission calculations to aiding in implementation projects. Within two months, I earned a promotion to full-time.   Since then, I've maintained my passion for exceeding expectations. Going above and beyond isn't just a job requirement; it's become my differentiator. I believe in doing more not for the sake of recognition but because hard work pays off, and there is always someone watching.   🌟 Beyond Responsibilities:   Every role comes with a set of responsibilities, but true professional growth lies in transcending those boundaries. Embrace tasks beyond your job description, seek out new challenges, and be the person who steps up when others hesitate.   🔗 Building Bridges:   Engage with colleagues across departments, attend industry events, and actively participate in networking activities. The connections you forge can be the gateway to unexpected career advancements.   🔍 Visibility Matters:   Visibility is key to career progression. Share your successes not as self-promotion but as a celebration of your team's achievements. Utilize platforms like LinkedIn to broadcast your accomplishments.   🌐 Leverage Digital Presence:   In today's digital age, your online presence is a powerful tool. Share insights, industry trends, and your professional journey on platforms like LinkedIn.   🌱 Continuous Learning:   Invest in your growth. Attend workshops, pursue certifications, and stay updated on industry trends.   Remember, opportunities are not always handed to us – often, we have to actively create them. So, take charge, go above and beyond, and let the world see what you bring to the table! 💼✨ #ProfessionalGrowth #CareerDevelopment #OpportunityKnocks #Sales #Saleskickoff #SKO #Latinasintech This picture marks my inaugural achievement in the realm of tech sales—an honor to receive my first award in this dynamic field.

I am extremely excited to once again join a Bright Network event. Over the past months I have attended many of their event such as the Breaking Barriers event, Breaking Barriers focus group, DEI&B focus group, achieved top 10 in their NextGen Breaking Barriers Individual Student Award 2023, Internship Experience UK 2023 and a few others. Whilst attending these events I found a new passion that is something I hope to advocate for within a work place and overall pass it on to my students I teach. This passion is Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging. The event I will be attending is the Bright Network Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging Event 2024. I am excited to hear about the fundamentals in place to support everyone, how it grows and strengthens working environments and create more successful projects suitable to everyone, and many more topics from top company’s, and once again to be part of an incredible networking experience. Insightful conversations and engaging conversations is definitely something else to look forward too!🍀 Without attending the events I have with Bright Network I would have never grown so passionate about these topics and broken through my own boundaries, such as my health, and achieved my own success story. I grew with every event I attended and therefore I encourage people to attend this event - whether it is virtually or in person. Why not seize the opportunity for continuous learning? Something that is very attractive to employers for potential candidates for internships, placement years and graduate roles. I am thankful for every experience and attending events like these helped me to secure my Corporate Analyst Development Program internship at J.P. Morgan. ✨ Here is the link if you would like to join and have a great networking experience: #brightnetwork #deib #diversityequityinclusionandbelonging #breakingbarriers #networking #internship #experience #continuouslearning

🌟 Fair promotions 🌟 Did you know that when searching for a new role, only 33% of employees look at their current company first? (Gartner) Most of the time, it's easier to learn about opportunities at a competitor than at your own company. Whenever an internal opportunity arises, make sure you shout about it: 1) Set up alerts about internal roles, either in a dedicated Slack channel or monthly newsletter 2) Ask managers to talk about promotion opportunities in their 1-to-1s 3) Send a clear encouragement that internal applicants are welcome! #promotiontips #internalopportunities

🚀 Unlocking the Potential of Junior Talent: A Conversation with a Global Brand Insider 🚀 Had an eye-opening lunch with a friend from a globally recognized brand this week. We got into a discussion about the challenges they face in developing young professionals and junior talent. What surprised me was his candid revelation: Him: "We struggle with junior talent." Me: "In what way?" Him: "Attracting excellent young talent is not the issue; it's retaining them." Me: "Why's that?" Him: "Our internship program poses challenges. We bring them on, but as soon as they settle in, they transition away for various reasons. My control is limited." Intrigued, I suggested, "What if you had a partner handling hiring, training, mentoring, and launching high performers in their initial three years? One that ensures you access top-quality, reliable consulting talent precisely when you need it?" Him: "Sounds interesting...tell me more." Enter Crew! 🚀 Crew guarantees access to top-tier, dependable junior consulting talent. Clients choose Crew for our driven, high-performing business and technology professionals who seamlessly integrate into project teams.

It spreads the risk, doesn't put it all on us, and solves the retention problem. Let's discuss specifics." Ready to revolutionize your approach to junior talent? Let's connect and explore how Crew can be the catalyst for your team's success. 💼🌟 #TalentDevelopment #CrewPartnership #FutureLeaders

We've had a couple of roles in the last month that went to market, but were filled internally. There are big benefits to internal hiring - the person already knows the company, people & product and they're likely to stay on longer when challenged and moved around. So you get to keep your best assets engaged. Has anyone worked in an organisation where they had an exceptional internal mobility policy / framework and why was it so good? I'd be interested to share any of the findings with my clients. #internalmobility #talentplanning #internalhiring
