Allison's Joyful Journey

About Allison

Allison is a smart and savvy professional. As she says, she has "10+ years of expertise in developing relationships and building connections to transform people’s lives and communities." After a long stint with the same company, she was looking for a new way to apply herself in her professional career.?We worked together to amp up her job search and find ways to communicate her professional value to showcase all of her strengths and expertise to impress employers. She was diligent in her efforts, and they have paid off extremely well.

What have you been up to since we last worked together?

After working with Marcia, I obtained a job at Greater New Orleans, Inc. (GNO, Inc.), a regional economic development nonprofit organization serving the 10-parish region of Southeast Louisiana. In this role, I monitored and tracked our engagement with GNO, Inc. investors and coordinated and executed several of our core events.

Since then, I have become the Executive Director of the Young Leadership Council (YLC), a non-profit, non-partisan organization focused on the development of young professionals in New Orleans through civic engagement. In this position, I oversee the day-to-day activities of the organization and work on expanding our fundraising initiatives.

How did our work together help you??

Working with Marcia was amazing. After spending 10 years with the same company, my resume and interview skills needed some fine-tuning. Marcia's guidance helped me feel confident in applying for my dream jobs.

What is your best piece of career advice?

You will never be fully prepared for your role. However, take everything that happens, both good and bad, as a learning opportunity because you never know when it will help you in the future.

Allison: I have found you very dedicated and willing to listen, in getting to resolution (particularly difficult with the egos you have dealt with). Wish you well with the YLC??
